"Which ones?" Lee questioned as he held up two bouquet of flowers. Tim looked at them closely. Lucy would like them both but it was the question of either the red roses or white lilies.
"Well, white lilies signifies purity. Red roses signifies love," Tim explained to Lee as placed the lilies back down and picked up the white roses. At least this was buying them some time.
"Trust you to know that. What do white roses signify?" Lee questioned as he peered at the two bouquet.
"White roses symbolise beauty and represent true and young love. Well you're not young anymore," Tim laughed as Lee rolled his eyes.
"Younger than you," Lee shot back as he contemplated them both before peering at the rest of the flowers there.
"I'd go with the white because they also stand for hope and you're hoping she'll forgive you...unless you want the both?" He added as he leant against the counter the florist looking at them expectantly.
"If you want a job you can always come here," the florist muttered as Tim smiled. He knew his knowledge of flowers would come in handy someday.
"I'll keep that in mind," he said turning away from the contemplating Lee for a minute.
"Who's he buying flowers for?" She questioned not being nosy at all as she finished off arranging some flowers.
"My sister. They've argued and she kicked him out of the flat," he explained as she nodded her head in understanding.
"Husbands and wives always argue."
"Oh they're not together. He's her lodger," he corrected but carried on smiling. Things might end up changing.
"Oh sorry I just assumed," the florist apologised as Tim shook his head to indicate that there was no need to apologise.
"I think I'll take these," Lee finally said with white Tulips in his hands as Tim raised a questioning eyebrow about the 180 degree turn on the choice of flowers,"what? I read the card that said White tulips are spring flowers which symbolise warmth, beauty and new beginnings. It is perfect for any occasion and represents purity, forgiveness and serenity." He explained as he read from the card.
"Good way to apologise," the florist added as she smiled at the two.
"She'll love them," Tim said as he patted Lee on the shoulder. Maybe of this was the way Lee was going to act if they weren't together then maybe if they got together Tim wouldn't mind so much. He'd still be overprotective it was his job as the older brother.
"You think?" He asked worriedly as he paid the florist.
"Course she will. They're from you."

"They're on their way over?" Lucy questioned as she sat on the sofa next to Daisy. The film was on pause and Daisy's empty wine glass on the floor next to the sofa. Lucy sat staring at the two pregnancy tests in front of her as she fiddled with her hands.
"Me and Tim thought it would be better if you two sorted things out sooner rather than later," Daisy explained as Lucy nodded her head. So she had to think about how she was going to start this conversation.
"So Tim knows then?"
"Yeah," Lucy only nodded her head in reply.
They both fell into silence after that. Lucy was looking at the tests and Daisy looking at her. Honestly she didn't know wether she wanted them to be positive or negative. Either way there was a lot to come to term with. If it was positive then she would have to get used to the idea of having a child but if they were negative then she'd be relieved but upset.
"What are you thinking about?" Daisy asked Lucy.
"Just wondering about possible outcomes," she vaguely explained. Sensing Lucy didn't want to talk about it Daisy silently got up and went to make some tea. There'd be a while until Lee and Tim got there.

"So, what're you going to say to her when you arrive?" Tim asked Lee as they walked towards the flat. Lee was now carrying flowers, a box of chocolates and a teddy Lucy had always liked.
"Sorry would be a good start. I look so cliché carrying all of this," Lee said indicating to himself as Tim rolled his eyes.
"Are you going to tell her?"
"Tell her what?" Lee asked completely oblivious to what Tim was talking about. Well he wouldn't know what he was on about if he didn't clarify.
"That you love her," he answered.
"Don't know," Lee said with a shrug of his shoulders. He was still considering what he was going to say exactly.
"What do you mean you don't know?" Tim asked as the rounded the corner and made their way towards the entrance of the building.
"Depends what happens," he said as he opened the door and pressed the button for the lift,"what if she doesn't want to talk to me?" He asked suddenly worried about what was going to happen.
"I've got a feeling she does," Tim said as the Ping of the lift indicated that it was there. Walking in Lee tried to juggle the presents into some kind of order which ended up with the flat box of chocolates on the bottom and the teddy and the flowers on top.
"What makes you say that?" Lee questioned. There was something everyone else knew that he didn't.
"Call it brotherly instincts," he smiled as they both exited the lift and into the corridor. Walking the couple of steps towards the door Lee sighed.
"Here goes nothing," and with that he knocked.
