"Lillybug can you run to the store for me?" her dad's voice cut through her daydreaming.

"No." Lilly replied softly, cradling her child in her arms.

"Your mum will watch Miley." He said a little more roughly as he passed her a grocery list and his wallet.

Lilly stood up slowly, passing Miley to her mum who took her carefully. Lilly walked towards the door, grabbing a sweater and leaving, making sure to quietly close the door behind her.

"Go see her" Nick said, watching Joe pace back and forth.

"I don't know…" he said, pausing and staring at the hotel door.

Kevin rolled his eyes and flopped down on the couch beside Nick. "Just because she has a baby doesn't mean she's any different." He said and Joe glared at him.

"It's not like I'm scared" he fibbed, not looking his brother's in the eyes.

Kevin sighed. "I'll go with you." He said standing up.

"Seeing as it is your baby." Joe said meekly.

"And she's your girlfriend." Kevin replied, pulling on a hat and a large pair of sunglasses. Joe snatched a large sweater and pulled up the hood to cover his face.

"She's not my girlfriend" he muttered darkly, pushing in front of Kevin and walking out the door.

Kevin glanced over at Nick who was gazing at him sadly. He gave a halfhearted smile and left.

Lilly pushed her way through the busy streets of New York, trying to get to the store on the corner. She snorted as she was pushed out of someone's way. Frowning and resisting the urge to make an obscene movement with her hand, she made her way into the store. Pulling out the list she slowly made her way down one of the aisles. Toothpaste…she thought, scanning the aisles.

"I'm going to pop into the store kay?" Kevin said, nodding at Joe who kept walking towards Lilly's apartment. He pushed open the door and rearranged his glasses. He slowly made his way down one of the aisles, grabbing a soda.

A pretty blonde girl caught his eye and he frowned slightly, lifting his glasses slightly to get a better look at her.

"Lilly?" he asked, moving closer.

Lilly turned, recognizing him immediately. "Kevin" she muttered, dropping the box of toothpaste she had been holding.

He smiled and bent over to pick it up. When he was back to normal height Lilly practically tackled him into a hug. Kevin laughed slightly and hugged her back.

"How's Miley?" he asked, suddenly nervous. She was his kid too, and he wasn't even a part of her life.

Lilly paused. "Fine" she replied with a small smile.

Kevin nodded and they chatted slightly as she finished picking up everything else she needed. They paid and left.

"Joe's here." He stated, realizing he had forgotten to tell her.

"Where?" Lilly asked, her voice getting slightly cold.

"He went to your apartment…" he replied, and she grabbed his hand, pulling him through the streets towards the apartment.

Joe was sitting nervously on the couch, avoiding the stares from Lilly's parents.

"She'll be back soon" her dad said as Lilly and Kevin burst through the front door.

Lilly gently set the groceries on the kitchen table and walked slowly towards Joe. He stood up awkwardly and hugged her. She rested her head on his chest and blinked away tears. They were already falling apart.

She pulled away and looked at her mum, who was still holding Miley. Taking her daughter out of her mother's arms, she went and sat down on the couch, Joe and Kevin on either side of her.

Kevin was shifting uncomfortably under everyone's stares. They all seemed to know that he was the reason Lilly had gotten pregnant, and frankly, it scared the crap out of him. Her dad was shooting him death glares every five seconds minutes.

Lilly's mother coughed slightly and they all turned to look at her. "Come on, lets go unpack the groceries" she said to her husband, dragging him into the kitchen.

Lilly coughed and looked at Kevin, who was staring with a gentle smile at the baby in her arms. "Want to hold your daughter?" she whispered, and he smiled, taking her out of Lilly's arms and holding her close.

"Lilly, can we talk?" Joe asked suddenly, taking her hand before she could answer. She gave a muffed reply before turning you Kevin.

"You'll be okay?" she asked, and he nodding, grinning.

Joe opened the door and they stepped out onto the balcony. Lilly gazed over the railing and sighed, having the urge to spit on the many people shuffling twelve stories down.

She turned to Joe who was nervously looking at his hands. "What?" she asked, trying to keep her voice calm.

He looked up at her and she felt her heart melt. She looked away immediately.

"Lilly, please."

"What?" she asked, looking at him.

"I'm sorry I didn't call you okay? I'm sorry I ignored you. And yes I'm admitting I did. I'm scared Lilly, you had a kid with my brother. How do I know you're not going to leave me for him?"

"You can't leave what you don't have" Lilly replied softly, and he gently stroked her cheek. She looked up at him but quickly turned away again.

"Lilly…I love you" he whispered, and she paused, turning around and finally meeting his eyes.

"Promise?" she whispered back and he smiled, embracing her.

She rested her head against his chest and closed her eyes, taking a deep breathe.

"Lilly, will you be my girlfriend?"
