Disclaimer: See chapter three

AN: Sorry the chapter is so short. I thought that this chapter was full of family fluff, and I felt that elongating the chapter would ruin it.

Chapter Ten: All in this Together

"All the votes agree. International Rescue will run on minimum team power. Scott knows about this and he has told me that he has no problem with IR running." After Jeff released the news, he left the lounge and went for a walk to clear his head.

Huge sighs of relief were heard around the lounge. Virgil, Alan, John and Gordon were celebrating in a group hug, when a silent figure walked in the room.

"You guys are having a group hug without me?"

Virgil and Alan broke away from the hug, and saw Scott leaning in the doorway. Alan let go and ran to Scott, and squeezing him in a hug.

"Alan, loosen your grip a bit, you're hurting me."

Alan broke the hug, looking guilty. Scott still held onto Alan.

"So, how have you been, Alan?"

"I'm OK, upset about the news, though. I'm also really worried."

"What are you worried about?"

"You, whether you will make it through the treatment. What will happen to us, as a family, if you don't make it through the treatment."

Scott piercing blue gaze met Alan's worried one.

"Alan, you don't have to worry about that, because I am going to make it through the treatment. I am going to fight this cancer with every thing I've got, and I am going to beat it too."

Alan felt slightly relieved, as he started to believe in Scott's statement.

"Well, now we have that issue sorted out, can we please start on one family tradition and watch a movie?" Scott paused, and then murmured. "Cos, we're all in this together."

AN: Next Chapter will be up soon- promise.
