Gwendoline and Daisy floated in to the house.

"Oh Peter, darling, we're home." She called out.
"Where have you been its 5 o'clock, you should have been back at 4 for afternoon tea. I was worried." He instantly replied. She smiled and gave him a trifling laugh

"We were having so much fun dear, we didn't want it to end." she said and she dropped her coat on the chair. Following her along he picked up her coat and hung it up.

"Oh, very well then, but you did make sure Daisy didn't go near the pollen? She could be allergic!" he urged. she laughed again.

"A girl named Daisy being allergic to daisies don't be silly darling, she's fine." she laughed giggled.

"Oh yes, of course, yes how silly of me." He replied and then turned to Daisy, gave a worried look and then called to his wife, who was now far ahead of him

"I might just get the doctor, too be on the safe side." and a faint silly laugh came from the kitchen.

"Very well then dear." She giggled.

Daisy went upstairs and entered her room. It was coloured in fuschia flowers, bees were drawn to look like they were buzzing along the walls and on one side of the room was a decrepit dollhouse, it had miniscule wooden people with no eyes and the mini rooms had become dark as wallpaper flopped down the sides. In the middle of the room was a grand majestic bed with four posts and a coral net that engulfed it. Through the window in the distance she could see the ash tree that grew a little bit more everyday. she heard a shouting coming from outside her door.

"peter, peter!" she heard her mother shout. She stood near the door and heard the excitement as her mother leaped down every step to her father 

"I am pregnant peter!". Gwendoline yelled as she leaped into his arms while he thought about everything he could do to make the house more safe for the new baby.
