    Summary

    As Carla and Lisa’s two worlds overlap, moments of warmth and humour sit alongside difficult truths, forcing both of them to confront what it means to trust someone with the parts of themselves they usually keep hidden. It’s a story about vulnerability, chosen family, and the courage it takes to believe that love can exist alongside imperfection — and it can flourish.

    Summary

    The 'Carla is pregnant' Swarla baby fic people have requested a *lot* since I made Lisa the pregnant one in the Piece by Piece universe 😊 Set in 2014, their pasts are both a bit different here: Becky did die (yes, forever and irreversibly) giving birth to Betsy and Lisa and Carla have been together since Betsy was three. Carla and Peter were never together.

    People wanted more Michelle and for Carla to be having the baby and Lisa looking after her so hopefully that's what you'll get!

    Summary

    “Actually, if it’s all the same, I’ve got someone coming in for an interview.”

    “That’s me.” Lisa said, her voice almost a whisper.

    “What?” Carla looked her up and down. “I mean a job interview.”

    “That’s still me.” Lisa muttered, a blush creeping over her cheeks.

    “To be my new barmaid?”

    or - carla owns the rovers, and lisa needs a second chance.
