Chapter 12: An Invitation.
A week had passed now and Scott, John and Gordon were still no wiser about what the others were up to. Lucie had refused to tell John on the grounds that Maddie would kill her. He had a feeling it was a good thing so let it go. Virgil cornered him just before lunch.
"I need you to go to Thunderbird 5 and get Alan," said Virgil.
"Why has something happened?" he asked concerned.
"No well not yet. Here I think this will explain it," said Virgil handing him an envelope. John opened it and read the contents. His face broke out into a big grin.
"No way."
"Yes way but we need Alan here and you can't tell the others."
"OK cool. I will get ready and set off. Can I tell Alan?"
"Just give him this and I will see you later," said Virgil handing over another envelope.
"OK bro. See you later," said John and he ran off grinning.
Virgil and Maddie walked into the kitchen holding hands and grinning. Jeff saw them and grinned too. Everyone was seated around the table bar John and Alan. They had even got Brains to join them.
"You two look happy," commented his grandma.
"We are and we have something for you all," said Maddie. Virgil let go of her hand and handed everyone an envelope except Lucie and Jeff. The others all looked at each other then opened the envelopes. Inside was a card which read.
Virgil Grissom Tracy and Maddeline Richards
Request the pleasure of you company
At their Wedding
Today at sunset
On the South Beach
"You two are getting married today?" said a stunned Scott.
"Yes. We wanted it to be a surprise," said Virgil walking back over to Maddie. Everyone leapt up and began hugging them both even Brains hugged them.
"I am so happy my dear. How did you keep it hidden?" asked Mrs Tracy.
"A lot of clever planning and help from a devious source," said Maddie looking over at Lucie who lowered her head.
"I always knew you had a naughty side," said Gordon putting his arm round her.
"I think I am going to need it with you guys," she replied grinning at him. Everyone laughed.
"Congrats bro," said Scott giving him a hug. Virgil grinned at his older brother. It had been really hard to keep it from Scott. They shared everything.
"If you need any help with anything Maddie. Please just ask," said Tintin.
"Thanks. I will when we have to get ready," she replied hugging the young girl.
"I thought the bride wasn't supposed to see the groom on the wedding day," said Gordon.
"She isn't but it would have been hard to keep them apart all day," answered Lucie.
"Yeah I guess it would. Hey where is John?" asked Scott noticing his brother was missing.
"Gone to get Alan from Thunderbird 5. She will be on automatic till tomorrow morning," supplied Jeff.
"Well we had better split up and start getting ready honey," said Virgil.
"OK. May I have a word with you Mr Tracy first?" asked Maddie.
"Of course come with me to the lounge. I want to check on John and Alan," he replied and they headed off. The others all began clearing up and preparing for the rest of the day.
Jeff contacted John who told him they would be about an hour. He then turned to his soon to be daughter in law.
"What did you want to speak to me about?" he asked smiling.
"Well as you know my father is dead so I have no one to walk me down the aisle such as it is," she said nervously. He sat watching her twiddle a piece of hair. It was a move she did when she was nervous. He waited for her to continue not entirely sure what she was getting at.
"I was wondering if you would do the honour Mr Tracy. I have known you practically all my life and you are the closest thing I have ever had to a father. It would mean so much to me if you would," she stopped and looked up at her almost father in law. There were tears in his eyes.
"Are you OK Mr Tracy" she asked worried she had upset him.
"Yes. I am so touched you have asked me Maddie. Having five sons has meant that I would never have had this opportunity," he said standing up.
"Is that a yes?" she asked cautiously.
"Of course it is. I shall be honoured to walk you down the aisle and give you to my son," he said smiling with happiness. She smiled back and he hugged her tight. He had finally got a daughter.
"Thanks Mr Tracy."
"I think it's time you called me dad."
"OK thanks dad," she replied and kissed his cheek before heading off to find Lucie.
The day was nearing it's end now and the family were assembling at the beach. John and Alan were back down and dressed. Virgil wanted all of his brothers beside him but he asked Scott to hold the rings for him. Scott was really happy for his brother. He just hoped that one day Virgil would be doing the same for him.
"It will happen bro," said Virgil reading his mind.
"Yeah so you nervous?" he asked smiling. Virgil had always had an ability to read him and vice versa.
"A bit. I keep worrying that she will change her mind," he admitted.
"Nah she loves you too much." reassured Scott.
They heard a noise at the back and knew it was time. Virgil turned to his brothers who all smiled at him. He then turned to the rest of his family who sat in seats behind them. Lady Penelope and Parker had joined them as well. Finally he looked to the back and saw Lucie walking towards him smiling. Behind her was his father and his bride. Virgil was pleased his father was walking her down the aisle. Maddie looked absolutely beautiful in her wedding gown and he knew at this moment he had never felt happier. Lucie reached him. She kissed his cheek then stood beside John. Maddie reached him and Jeff let go of her arm before saying
"I hope you two will be very happy. Look after her son."
"I will dad thanks," said Virgil smiling at his dad.
The vicar began the ceremony and a few tears were shed. It was a beautiful service.
"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride," said the vicar smiling at the young couple. Virgil pulled Maddie close to him and kissed her. The others all cheered and then began hugging them both. Gordon sidled up to the bride and grinned.
"Welcome to the family sis," he said.
"Thanks a lot bro," she replied and hugged him. Alan and Scott walked over. Virgil was hugging his dad.
"I can't believe we have a sister," said Alan.
"I think you will have another one before long," added their grandma gesturing towards Lucie and John.
"You are right Grandma," replied Scott. He knew John loved Lucie and would propose eventually.
"Does that mean I will have to wear this thing again," moaned Alan pulling at his tie.
"Most likely but I bet Tintin thinks you look really cute right now," said Maddie putting her arm around her youngest brother in law. He grinned up at her. Lucie and John walked over holding hands.
"Kyrano says dinner is ready guys," said John. They all began heading towards the house. Virgil had rejoined his bride and the two walked in together.
They all had a wonderful dinner and were now in the lounge. Jeff stood up to say a few words.
"I just wanted to say how proud I am of you today son and I hope you the two of you will be as happy as your mother and I were. Making a marriage work under the lives you both live will always be hard. But remember we will all be here to help and listen. Maddie I am delighted to have you as a daughter in law and I hope you will be happy here. Enjoy the rest of your lives together."
"Thanks dad," said Virgil and he hugged his father.
"That was beautiful and I know I shall be happy. You guys are my family and I love you all," said Maddie smiling at each and every one of them.
"I just wanted to say something too. I want to thank Lucie for all her hard work in organizing the wedding and keeping you guys in the dark. I know we didn't give you a great impression of us but I hope now you see how much we care. I want to thank you too dad for sorting out the license and the vicar. You are the best dad anyone could ever ask for and we all love you. I have just one more thing to say. Maddie you have never looked more beautiful then you do today and I am a lucky man to be married to you. I love you so much and always will," said Virgil turning to his bride. He kissed her then hugged his father once more.
"Time for a first dance I think," said Penny. Virgil took Maddie over to the dance floor Brains had built. Lucie walked over to the piano and pulled out some music. She began to play and they began to dance. She then began to sing
The love between the two of you
is one that cant be matched
And as I watch you say I do
I know that it's forever.
I believe it was fate you met once more
I believe an angel was watching
I believe that though the rain might pour
The two of you will last through
Because love is eternal
The two of you were meant to be
It's written in the stars
And now it's something we all can see
And hope to feel it too.
As I sit here and play
Watching as you dance
I know that if you lose the way
We'll be here to put you right.
So remember on this special day
How much that we all care
One day I hope we all will feel
The love that you two share.
Love between the two of you is everlasting
Always and forever.
Everyone clapped the couple and then turned to Lucie. They couldn't believe what a beautiful voice she had.
"I didn't know you could sing," said Maddie. Lucie just blushed.
"Yeah. You have an amazing voice Lucie. You should have been a singer," added Virgil.
"I don't think it was that great," she replied modestly.
"Don't knock yourself Lucie. You really do have a wonderful voice," said Penny.
"Voice of an angel wouldn't you say John," said Gordon grinning at his older brother.
"Yep," replied John smiling back. He walked over to her and pulled her up.
"You really are talented Angel," he said pulling her into his arms.
"If you think that was great. You should see me dance," she replied cheekily.
"Why don't you show me," he said and they joined Virgil and Maddie, Tintin and Alan and Jeff and Penny on the dance floor. Parker took over on the piano and Lucie showed John she wasn't lying.
On an island nearby. A group of men sat arguing.
"We have to finish them once and for all," said one.
"Yes but how Damien over here couldn't even shoot that green tank out of the sky," said another pointing to the one named Damien.
"Hey it's not my fault their pilot managed to land her. I did my best. We should have taken out the other one instead," argued Damien.
"Yeah or used someone else," replied the first one.
"Shut it the lot of you. How are we going to take them down," said a man from the corner.
" I have a plan boss. Thanks to this little man. I know exactly how we can get rid of International Rescue and take down Jeff Tracy," said one pointing to a man tied to a chair. The man looked away ashamed by what he had done.
"OK spill it Jimmy. How do we destroy them," said the man in the corner.
Authors Note: So Virgil is married but how long will it last. Who are the men and what do they have planned. Plus who is tied to the chair and what has he done to be ashamed. Find out soon. By the way the song was written by a friend of mine so please don't slate it or she will kill me then you will never know what I have planned for John.
