PROLOGUE
Everyone knew it was only a matter of time before Alan and Tintin finally confessed their feelings for one another. Both their fathers were even hoping it would happen, but easily Grandma was the most happy. "It's just a matter of time." she said "First they confess their feelings and soon they'll be walking down the aisle."
She was right too…
Alan and Tintin already knew each other well, and had gone on many romantic dates before they confessed their feelings. Tintin even remembered the special ring Alan bought her when they went to India on their Skyship-One Cruise. Even though the life of International Rescue was very dangerous, they both were well aware of this as were Jeff and Kyrano, but to them, to object the marriage of their children would be like refusing to answer to a distress call and leave them to die.
Not one, but two weddings were held. The first was a special Asian ceremony, and most of the family traveled to Malaysia. This ceremony was very important to Kyrano and Tintin, and served as a tradition in their family. Gordon often teased the way Alan looked in his ceremonial clothes, but Alan was just so happy, his brother's teasing had no effect on him.
The second ceremony was a proper wedding, and it was held at Tracy Island, and was only open to International Rescue members. Lady Penelope was the martyred of honor, and after much debate, Alan agreed to let Brains be the best man so as not having to listen to his brothers quarrel.
Tintin looked so beautiful in her white gown, and Alan looked really sharp in his pure white tuxedo. John got to watch the ceremony from Thunderbird 5 and broadcast it to all members who couldn't be there and allowed them to watch it from their homes.
Jeff was so happy, and Kyrano, he was both happy and sad at the same time as his told his daughter "From the day that you were born, I knew that this day had to come for you. Now, I fear that it has come too soon… for me!"
"Oh Father!" cried Tintin as she hugged him warmly.
A couple of years after that, Tintin and Alan surprised everyone with big news. "We're going to have a baby!" Everyone was just wild with excitement and happiness. Grandma couldn't believe she was going to be a great grandmother.
Eight and half months later, after much preparing, and realizing that Tintin was having a girl; Tintin suddenly went into labour sooner than was expected, and she was rushed to the mainland and then to the hospital where after many painful hours, she finally gave birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl. She was named Madelynn, a name that was suggested by Gordon.
"Aw!" he remarked when he first came into Tintin's room and saw her holding the little bundle in her arms. "Meet little Madelynn." she said as she held up the sleeping baby. "Oh, my…" said a heart filled Jeff he gently took the baby from her. "My first grandbaby- She is defiantly a Tracy." He leant forward gently and pecked his granddaughter's little head.
Alan's brothers each took turns holding the baby. Scott felt proud to be holding his niece for the first time, especially as he was dubbed by Alan and Tintin as the godfather, but Gordon, when he held the little baby girl in his arms, he felt… in a way that words couldn't describe. Madelynn even let out a sleepy little yawn, opened her eyes, looked up at her uncle and smiled softly. "Hey!" he said softly "She's smiling at me."
"I'm sure she is." Alan agreed.
…
Days later, the baby was brought home. Everyone was there to greet them, Kryano, Grandma, Brains, even Penelope and Parker had come to visit just to see the little one. "Oh, Tintin, she's beautiful." Grandma gushed.
"Yes, isn't she gorgeous?" Tintin said.
"…My special little girl." Alan said
Kryano felt very happy when held his new granddaughter for the first time. "I remember the day, Tintin, when I first held you. It filled my heart with a joy that I felt I would never experience again… until now."
Penelope, the godmother had never held a baby before, but she knew she had to get to know Madelynn. Madelynn did cry a little bit at first only because she didn't know Penelope, but Parker had a good idea how to calm her down and made a silly face in front of the baby to which she giggled and cooed. "Why, Parker. I had no idea…" Penelope said.
"Oh, nothin' really, M'lady…" Parker answered "Anythin' for the little tyke." But he soon found Madelynn holding onto his finger. "Oy'! What'choo doin'." He said as he tried to get away, but Madelynn wouldn't let go "Parker, be gentle." Tintin warned him, but everyone else couldn't help but laugh at how funny Parker looked. "Come on! I say… let go."
Obviously, Madelynn really liked Parker, and Parker just couldn't be mad at "The little tyke."
Alan and Tintin's only regret was their mothers couldn't be there to see the baby. Everyone wished that too, and knew they would have loved her, but life went on, it was a time for a joy, not sadness.
