"KITTEN!" Raven shouted when he woke up and realized the spot in front of him and Corey was empty.

"She's at work!" Marc shouted back as Raven came stomping down the stairs.

"Da?"

"Da," Marc nodded. "She left a note saying she wanted to go in early to prepare for Valentine's Day. I called about ten minutes ago, and she was in the middle of making a list of ribbons and vases. I suppose it's going to be very busy for her the next few days."

"Da," Raven nodded. "Probably."

"Awww," Luke pouted, "that means she won't be able to help at the bar with us."

"But it will be good for her and her flower shop so we will support it," Owen said taking the coffee from Marc. "Thank you." He cleared his throat, "we will also make sure she doesn't overdo it."

"I'll bring her some breakfast," North nodded slipping his shirt on over his head. "Knowing her she didn't make herself anything before she headed to the shop. She would lose her head if it wasn't attached to her body."

Meanwhile

Eve pushed her hair behind then went back to scrolling through the flowers she was looking online. She picked up her pen and wrote the name down in her want list then wrote another in the need list. She needed to get this figured out by the end of the day.

Eve looked up with a soft smile on her lips as she heard the bell ring notifying her that someone was entering the store, "Hi."

"Hey Everly."

"Timothy," she whispered in shock seeing her ex's brother walking towards her.

"Hi Eevee," he smirked as he leaned against the counter.

"What are you doing here, Timothy?" She asked standing up nervously. "How did you find me?"

"Oh, come on Eevee, it wasn't that hard to find you," he chuckled. "There aren't that many flower shops around here. It was just a matter of narrowing them down."

"How long have you been searching for me?" She asked. "Please don't call me that again."

"Oh come on, you love that name," he smirked leaning closer to her. "Don't tell me you don't like Pokémon anymore, that's our thing."

"You don't have a thing with her," a deep voice said behind him making him stand and turn around in shock and confusion.

"North," she smiled seeing him standing there with his arms crossed with fury in his eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"You forgot breakfast, Baby," he said wrapping his arm around her waist when she came over to him. "I came to give it to you. Who's this?"

"Timothy Lawson, her brother-in-law," Timothy glared as he extended his hand.

North gripped and shook, "don't you mean ex brother-in-law?"

"Just because my brother died doesn't mean I stop being her brother-in-law," he shook his hand then clenched it and unclenched it once North released it, "I will always be her brother and you are?"

"Her husband," North smirked.

"Husband?" Timothy asked. "You're already married? So soon?"

"What's going on here?" Silas asked as he came into the store. "Breakfast is ready."

"I came to get our wife to come have breakfast with us if she wasn't too busy and look who I found," North smirked as he put his arm around Timothy, "her ex brother in law decided to visit her, what a nice surprise, isn't?"

"Interesting," Silas nodded staring the skinny man down. "I know, why don't you join us for breakfast? Meet the whole family."

"That's a wonderful idea," North nodded. "Yeah, come on Timothy, come meet the family."

"What are you doing?" she whispered as she hugged North as they headed to the bar.

"What do you have there, Baby?" North asked taking the notepad from her hands. "What's this?"

"Just some lists I'm making," she explained nervously. "Trying to get prepared before it gets crazy."

"Why do you have two lists?" he asked as Silas held the door open for them to enter.

"One list is necessities and the other is just things I want one day," she shrugged.

"Oy gimme," Gabe said taking the notepad from North. "Fucking cool," he glanced up then frowned, "Oy, who the fuck are you?"

Silence filled the bar as the rest of the group came out from the back. "Who do we have here?" Owen asked staring the group down.

"Go ahead," North smirked as he gently shoved Timothy in front of them, "introduce yourself."

"I'm Timothy Lawson," Timothy said sticking his hand out while Owen just continued to stare at him. "Eevee's brother-in-law."
