Disclaimer- Thunderbirds are not mine. Eddie, Abby, Emily, Violet and Lucy are.

Sorry I haven't updated I have been busy at work, also with St John Ambulance with training and recruitment for St John Ambulance Cadets and Badgers.


Abby and Eddie headed back up to the house to be with their new family although most of them had gone to bed except Jeff waiting for Abby and Eddie to walk back up he knew they needed time and with Eddie still being ill and not keeping much down. Virgil was also worrying about Eddie and his health after Scott found him seriously ill.

As Abby and Eddie walked back into their new house Jeff was sat in the living room talking to Virgil "Sorry Mr Tracy" said Eddie feeling guilty by shouting at him after Eddie discovered that International Rescue was the Tracy family.

Jeff caught Eddie before he vanished into his room for the night "Eddie. You can call me dad now. I know we rescued your parents all those years ago, I know that losing both parents must have been hard. Would you believe it if it said that Abby had one of my boy's crying over it and not acting like his normal 'mother hen' that he is. The boy's trust Abby like one of their own. They will learn to trust you. Oh, Abby can I have a word."

Abby walked to the living room where Jeff was."Yes, Mr Tracy... I mean dad."

Jeff could tell that her back was still hurting her and with Gordon and Emily telling him as well he might as well do something about it as they are here to stay. "I hear your back is still hurting you. Would you like handles to help you get up and a softer bed like Gordon has."

"Yes, please. I am sorry that I have not been the best person to be around. I have brought you into all my problems and made most of your sons have some emotional breakdown because of me."

"Don't be sorry. Anyway, I need to go to mainland and would like you to man command and control. I will speak to Scott and I will take Eddie to go and get his stuff if that is alright with you."

Jeff went to speak to Scott but when he got to Scott and Emily's room all was quiet but when he walked pass the nursey Lucy and Violet were talking to each other or someone else so Jeff decided to have a look. In there he found Eddie sat reading to Lucy and Violet trying to get them back to sleep. "Hello dad. Sorry I was going to get a drink and I heard these two awake so I thought I would try and get them back to sleep."

"We leave tomorrow morning to head to mainland 1. To pick up your stuff and 2. I have a board meeting which I have to attend."

Eddie got Lucy and Violet back to sleep and fell asleep in the nursey so when Scott goes to check on the twins before going for his morning run he panics when he sees Eddie sleeping on the floor "Virgil can you come to the nursey quietly. Eddie has fallen asleep here."

"On my way. Oh, Scott dad's wants to speak to you."

"Dad you wanted a word"

"Yes Scott. I am taking Eddie over to the mainland to get his stuff from his old foster home and to go to a meeting we should be back this evening."

"Dad I don't think Eddie would be going out today he is currently in the infirmary asleep. I found him asleep between the girls with a book."

"Thank you, Scott I, am going to get going them."

Virgil carried Eddie to the infirmary and disabled the klaxon in there so that Eddie could sleep. Virgil knew that he would not get back to sleep now that he was up so he decided to do some long overdue paperwork whilst watching Eddie. Emily came into the infirmary "Morning Virgil. What are you doing up so early?"

"A brother of mine decided to wake me up because someone else was sleeping between the girls, cots he also had a book in his hands so he may have been reading to the girls. I am just catching up on paperwork. Emily, can I ask a favour?"

"Sure."

"Can you watch Eddie so that I can have a quick wash and get changed?"

"Sure Virgil. I am sure Scott get the girls changed and washed for a change as they are both still asleep."

In that time the girls decided to wake up but they were fine talking to themselves. Abby ran into the infirmary looking for Virgil but she found Eddie asleep in the infirmary. "Emily what happen why is he here?"

"Scott found him asleep with the girls and became worried about him so Virgil thought it was a good idea to let him sleep in here. He has been not sleeping much since arriving with us." Abby stayed in the infirmary until Virgil came back then Abby went to talk to Virgil about sorting out her bed. As they were doing that their watching and the klaxon went off. Abby legged it from the room to head up to command and control in which Jeff entrusted her with the job.

Abby began to panic she had forgotten what she need to do as she did she also brought on a panic attack and that is how they boys found her a few seconds later. Scott was the first in (after Abby) and got in and the others followed with Jeff and Eddie off the island Scott decided to fly command and control.

"There is a wild fire in the Australian outback and it is starting to spread to a few small villages" John told Tracy Island.


I am going through a huge family issue which has shown it ugly face so to speak. After this chapter I may not upload for a while until my family issue has calmed down and sorted itself out the best it can.

I only have one more to write for this story then I am planning on doing a squeal called Hidden Life so look out for it.
