Chapter 14

It's been a month since we returned to the island. Dan was still with us but he still hadn't let me leave the infirmary since we arrived back. Everyday I've been in the infirmary under observation i had a few ups and downs but I think i'm getting back to normal. Dan walked into the infirmary with dad.

"How are you feeling today, Lily?" Dan asked me.

"Fine thanks can I try and eat something today please. I'm kinda getting fed up with liquid food." I asked smiling at him.

"Sure we'll try something small again like toast. I'll be back in a minute." Dan left the room and my dad came over to me.

"Where are the girl's dad?"

"In the nursery asleep. Don't worry about them Onaha is looking after them." I tried to get up but my dad was trying to stop me.

"Dad let me get up please." I said.

"No sweetie you're not 100% yet wait till Dan gets back. Anyway Dan is going back to England tomorrow. He thinks you're nearly back to good health so he thinks Virgil will be okay to finish things." My dad smiled at me. I gave him a weak smile. Then Dan returned.

"Once slice of toast just like the doctor ordered." Dan said smiling and laughed.

"Now Lily, let's see if you can keep this down." I took the toast and started eating it. I felt absolutely fine. I finished the toast and didn't feel sick at all.

"Well done sweetie. Do you feel okay?" My dad asked.

"Absolutely fine thanks. Dad can i get changed into my own clothes now?" My dad looked at Dan who nodded. "Okay, I'll get you some clothes I'll be back in a minute." My dad left the room.

"So Dan, Dad tells me you're..." I stopped as a bout of nausea hit me. Dan immediately knew what was happening and gave me the bowl. Then i was sick, again. I started crying.

"Its okay honey, just take a deep breath." My dad ran in with my clothes when he heard the commotion.

"Oh Lily, don't worry. You'll get better soon." I nodded and Dad handed me my clothes and he and Dan left the room so i could get changed. It felt good to be in my own clothes again.

"Dad you can come back in now!" I shouted. Dad and Dan walked back in and Dan started doing checks on me.

"Well i can safely say that everything is looking normal. I think i may leave this afternoon as I can get a couple of days at home before work Monday. I'll just go and find Virgil and I'll pack my things." Dan left to find Virgil. I knew where he was. He would be in the lounge.

"Dad, could you make me some soup please?" I asked.

"Of course I'll be back soon okay." My dad left the room. I sighed in relief. I knew that i could escape the infirmary. I pulled the IV line out of my hand and disconnected all the wires to the monitors. I made my way out of the infirmary slowly. I was hoping that there was no one at the pool but of course, there was.

Scott and John saw me and immediately stopped what they were doing.

"Lily, what are you doing out of bed? Does Dan and Dad know?" Scott asked me.

"Scott i'm 20 nearly 21 years old please i'm not a child anymore." I said back to him i wanted to go down to the beach but got stopped again when John started talking to me.

"Sis, you really need to go back to the infirmary, you're still not well." John said. I started getting annoyed.

"Guys, I've been in that stupid infirmary for a month now, I've hardly spent any time with the girls and i can't eat solid food." I said starting to raise my voice.

"Lily calm down." Scott said.

"No Scott I won't calm down, oww" I collapsed to the floor in pain. Scott and John shot out of the pool and ran to me.

"Lily what's wrong? John call dad."

"No John i'm fine. It's nothing oww" I shrieked as another pain hit me.

"No Lily, you're not fine. John, call dad." Scott said, his voice was becoming distant.

General POV

Scott and John were panicking as Lily went into unconsciousness.

"John, what's up?" Jeff said.

"Dad, it's Lily, she's outside with us by the pool. She collapsed in pain and now she unconscious"

"Okay i'm coming."

"Come on Lily wake up for us." Scott pleaded.

"Scott? She's waking up." Scott looked down at Lily to see her eyes opening.

Lily's POV

I was waking up. It was very blurry but i could hear the conversation around me.

"Hey sis welcome back. You feeling okay?" I couldn't make out who it was but I nodded in response. Then I heard someone shout my name. It sounded like my dad.

"Lily?" My dad said.

"Dad? What happened?" I asked trying to get everything focussed.

"I don't know but do you think you could sit up?" I nodded and i felt loads of hands helping me up. Then i saw Dan running towards me with Virgil, Gordon and Alan.

"Lily, why did you leave the infirmary?" Dan asked me. I shrugged in response.

"Come on we'll get you back to the infirmary, boys you can go back to whatever you were doing." Dad said. He knew that i didn't like everyone around me. My dad and Dan helped me to my feet and assisted me back to the infirmary.

We got back to the infirmary and Dan started talking to me.

"Lily, I've got to leave in an hour but i'm leaving Virgil in charge. I'll give you a shot of morphine. This will make you go to sleep so I'll say my goodbyes." I hugged Dan and fell asleep straight after.

I woke up but i wasn't in the infirmary. I was in my room with no wires or anything. I looked over at the clock on the bedside and it said 8am. That meant Dan had gone home. I got up and walked out of my room. I didn't feel ill or anything. I was still slow on my feet but i felt a lot better. I walked into the lounge and I saw my dad sitting there with Chloe and Lucy.

"Hey sweetie how are you feeling?" I walked over to my dad.

"Fine thanks." I sat on the sofa next to my dad and picked up Chloe .

"Hello baby, mommy hasn't seen you for ages." She started babbling and laughing. Then I gave Chloe to Dad and picked up Lucy. I didn't notice my brothers walking into the lounge.

"Do you girls want to go in your play pen? Yeah?" I put the girls into the play pen and laid down on the sofa watching them. Then, my brothers walked up to me. Virgil knelt down beside me.

"Hey Lily. I'm gunna take your blood pressure." Virgil said to me. I nodded as I watched Lucy and Chloe play with each other.

"How is it Virgil?" I heard Scott say.

"Good news, it's normal." Virgil announced.

"Can I try and eat something please" I asked i was determined to keep it down this time.

"Of course. I'll be back in a minute." Virgil said.

"NOT TOAST VIRGE!" I shouted. My dad laughed.

"Come on sis move up." Gordon said and Scott nudged me. Alan sat on my lap.

"Oh my god Alan, you way a ton." I said then John sat on top of Alan.

"Ahh guys you're killing me. Hahaaa Gordon stop..." Gordon started tickling me. I could hear Lucy and Chloe laughing as well.

"Okay guys break it up. Gordon, Alan look after the girls." My dad said. Gordon and Alan got up and John sat next to me. I could hear Gordon talk to the girls.

"Hello, uncle Gordy and Uncle Alan are gunna look after you." I smiled but i could hear Scott trying not to laugh. Virgil returned.

"Okay Lily, here we are a cheese sandwich and some ice cream" My dad rolled his eyes.

"Virge you are amazing." I took the food from him and started eating it. It took me 10 minutes to eat it.

"So?" John asked.

"Fine, i don't feel ill at all." I actually didn't i felt brilliant.

"Well done sweetie. And by the way, guys, we are having a barbeque tonight, so we're gunna get everything ready. Boys off you go and get stuff ready, Lily you can stay in here with the Girls." I smiled at my dad. Everybody left. I picked up Lucy and Chloe and took them into my bedroom. I put them on the bed and they fell asleep, i laid down next to them and fell asleep.

I woke up at 6pm and got changed. I picked up Chloe and Lucy and put them in the buggy. I made my way out and saw everyone. Onaha, Kyrano and TinTin were outside, Lady P and Parker and Brains and Fermat. John, Scott , Virgil and Gordon were in the pool. Fermat was learning how to swim. I got to the top of the stairs and my dad helped me carry down the buggy.

"Good evening Lady Penelope."

"Good evening Lily, How are you feeling?"

"Fine thank you. A Lot better than I did."

"Of course, do excuse me."

I walked to the sun lounger and sat there and watched my brothers attacking John in the pool. I laughed at them. I watched Alan talking to TinTin. There was something definitely up with them two. Then my dad got out this triangle, where he got that from i will never know. I got up and moved towards my brothers.

"Gather round. I have an announcement to make. Tonight is a special night. We're all together because of three very special people, Fermat, TinTin, Alan. The world needs Thunderbirds and the Thunderbirds need you." I looked at my brothers. I couldn't believe it. Alan was finally a thunderbird. I was so happy for him. Then my brothers moved towards Alan and Fermat and pushed them into the pool. I laughed and stood with TinTin. Suddenly my dad's emergency ringtone went off.

"Yes, Madam President. I see. Of course, straightaway." I looked at my brothers.

"Boys." My dad shouted. My brothers got out of the pool and made their way up to dad's office. I took the girls up to my dad's office as well. They all looked so smart. I wasn't going on missions but maybe mission control but I needed to spend some time with the girls.

"Thunderbirds are go!" My dad said and they went into their portraits. I stood at the balcony with my dad and watched thunderbird 1 go I heard thunderbird 3 and 2 launch as well.

"Why don't you take the girls to bed and you can go to bed as well."

"Thanks dad. Say goodnight to the boys when they get back. Night" I hugged my dad and left the room with the girls.

I put them to bed and went into my room and fell asleep.
