Nick brought flowers to the hospital today, which was actually new for him to do. He was always tempted to bring them, but he actually took time to put together a bouquet that would be perfect. The colors were perfect for summer, he thought, so he hoped Tegan would enjoy them to liven up her room. Tucked in his other arm was a smaller bouquet for Gina, who he hoped was still on shift when he arrived. It wasn't much, but Nick wanted to say he was sorry for pulling her in to this mess and for lying to her. He wasn't a person who lied on purpose or to make things worse, but just to make things better for Tegan.

He was, after all, her Peter Pan.

Nick made his way up to the intensive care floor after a stop at the front desk. Smiling politely, he stopped at the nurse's station to see one of the nicer nurses he had come to know after all his time spent here. "Good afternoon, Helen," he said and she turned to him to return his smile.

"Well hello there, Nick," she returned, "I see you brought your girl flowers today. How lovely!" Nick ducked his head bashfully with a shrug, "It's not much. Anyway, if Gina comes by. These are for her and could you please tell her I'm in Tegan Benton's room?"

Nick left the smaller bouquet with Helen before he turned to head down the hall. He stopped in front of Tegan's door, knocking before he entered. "Afternoon, Tea," he said with a smile, "I brought you these today. Thought it'd help cheer up the room."

Placing them on the table close to Tegan's bed, Nick sat down in his usual chair and reached for her hand asking his usual question, "How're you feeling?"
