A Family Life
Chapter 20
(In Scott's point a view)
I somehow knew that Virgil was going to ask us to stay in the pod on the way back to the island, I could see his point there. Lisa and I needed to sort things out between us. I may have LeAnne but I know that I am falling in love with Lisa. While I was thinking Lisa had been busy tidying up once she had finished, I called her over "Hey Lisa I think that we need to talk now and get everything out in the open."
"A chat Scott, you almost didn't react at all when I told you about the baby. Now that you have LeAnne back." said Lisa not wanting to finish her sentence.
"Lisa, I love you, just because I have LeAnne back it won't change how I feel for you. As for the baby I am delighted about that. I just didn't have time to react from us coming back up from the beach to the call coming in, honestly thinking back now I didn't think that I would fall in love again and I have with you." I said while taking my hand in hers.
"I'm sorry Scott, my head is just all over the place right now. Sometimes I don't know what to do for the best."
"Lisa whatever you decide to do then I will be there to support you, we may not know each other very well but my brother and your best friend brought us together. Look we don't need to get married right away. We can still get to know each other and work this out. Lisa I really want us to work out here."
"You do?"
"Yes Lisa, I won't run away from this, I have another chance with you and I really don't want to mess it up. Now that you know about IR, are you willing to share this with me? I know this is a big ask. And I will understand if you want to walk away."
"No Scott I will take this chance and Virgil has asked me to stay on for a few more weeks. In case they need a hand looking after Scotty. I still can't believe that Virgil and Jo are both bringing Scotty home at last."
"That is really good of you, I am so glad you know about IR it makes things a look a bit easier. When Virgil met up with Jo again, I done something I shouldn't have."
"What did you do?"
"With IR we need to check people out and I done this with Jo, I had the time to phone her mother to tell her that the Father of Jo's child was Virgil. Not only that but when I phoned through to get the check done. I had no idea that Jo was related to Lady Penelope at the time. Don't worry we won't need to get you checked out because both Virgil and Jo covered for you said that they could trust you with this news.
(In Gordon's point a view)
I was up in the cockpit with Virgil, he had decided to go into our mini sickbay to check on both Jo and Scotty. We were half way home when I noticed that our fuel was getting low. I didn't want to tell anyone because I knew that Brains installed a new function that Virgil didn't know anything about. "Base from TB2 Dad is Brains about, because I need to speak to him? TB2 is running low on fuel and I don't want to panic everyone on board here. I know that Brains said that he put new water cannons into the jets to help us land. I just want to check to see if I could use them?"
"Okay Gordon I will put you through to Brains, is everyone alright?"
"All fine Dad I just really need to get TB2 down Dad,"
"Okay son putting you through now." While I was waiting on Dad putting me through Virgil walked into the cockpit. I thought he would have stayed in there longer.
"Okay Gordon what is going on?"
"It's nothing"
"Gords, I heard to you asking Dad to speak to Brains so it's not nothing. Just please tell me what is going on. I promise I won't be mad with you."
"Okay then well Scott could have pushed TB2 too far and we are now low on fuel. While you were away Brains installed some new water cannons to help with landing if this ever happened. I am onto Brains now to see how we operate them. Because it's the first time that we are using them."
"TB2 from B... ba...base c...co... come in Gor...Gordon"
"You heard what happened? How do we land using these water cannons that you installed a few months ago? Virgil is here with me now and I don't want to panic everyone else who we have a board here."
"O...ok... okay G...Gor... Gordon on the left side of your plots chair you will find a b...but... button called b... back u... up landing. If you hit that then t the jets will give you water to help your l land instead of the flames. I will get the r...reco... recovery v...vehi... vehicles ready so that we can pull two into her h...han... hanger.
"Okay Brains TB2 out, I take it you want to land then? I asked my older brother. With a nod I just relaxed myself in the co-pilots seat. If I am honest as usually, I didn't feel the landing and the water cannons did their jobs to bring us down. Once we had landed, I made my way to the mini sickbay to give Jo a hand with getting Scotty out, I had a feeling that Scott and Lisa had gone on. To make things a bit easier we used the hoover bikes to get back into the hanger. Once we got in Virgil and Jo took Scotty up to their apartment so we didn't see them the rest of the night.
(Virgil's point a view)
Once we had landed, I wanted to stay to make sure that TB2 got into the hanger okay, but Jo stopped me in my tracks.
"Virgil let's get Scotty up to the round house, it is going to take a while to hook TB2 up by that time you could be back down. "Jo said while Dad appeared beside us
"Jo is right Virgil go and get sorted and we will see you back down her in about half an hour or so. You need to go and see your children son; Tin-Tin is still in your apartment with them and John is there too. I will call you once we are going to pull two back into her hanger."
"Okay Dad but you really need to have a word with Scott, he pushed two too far and we had just run out of fuel if it wasn't for Brains you would have lost half of your team today." I said as I walked Jo back up to the round house. We are still finding it strange that this is our place now. Once we arrived back Tin-Tin and John both had Joshua and Rebecca in their arms then we turned up with Scotty. Brains had managed to send up any equipment that we might need for Scotty so that was good in away. It means that we didn't have to move him now. John and Tin-Tin came over with our other two and Tin-Tin offered to take a family photo, John had called Robyn in but for some reason she didn't want to leave her room. So, I made my way in and sat down beside her. "Hey what is up with you sweetie I thought you loved being a big sister?
"I do Daddy but now I have to share you with the babies and that is why I am upset. Now that the babies are here then you and Mum won't want me."
"Robyn where is all this coming from? We will always love you no matter what happens and like I told you before you will be loved all the same. Plus, we are home for your birthday today and that is a very important day because it's all about you. Why don't you come into the living room and get your photo taking with us? I believe that you have been holding Joshua and Rebecca with a bit of help. Robyn once you get used to it you will be brilliant with them."
"You think so Daddy?"
"I know so why don't we go in here and get this photo took?"
"Okay Daddy." Said Robyn so we made our way into the living room to see that Jo was sitting on the sofa waiting for us both. So, Jo had took Scotty, I had Joshua and we let Robyn take Rebecca. Once the photo was taken, we all made our way down to the pool where Robyn's birthday party is starting. Lady Penelope and Parker had come along too. We all played a few games with the kids then Grandma had brought out Robyn's birthday cake which was a unicorn cake. We sang happy birthday and gave Robyn her gifts. By the time it had ended Robyn had been tired so we headed back up again.
Once we got Robyn to bed and the babies were settled, I had to chat to my wife about something. It had been on my mind since we found out that the triplets were on the way. "Jo now that we are alone, I need to talk to you but it's important that you hear me out, can you do that?"
"Sure, what is on your mind?"
"I think that I need to sign a DNR, now that I have my own family it seems the right thing to do."
"Have you talked this through with your Dad and brothers? I got to be honest Virgil I don't like the thought of that. I have only just got you back and you are telling me this."
"Jo, I know for a fact that if anything happened to ether of us then we would be looked after. It's just more of a security for us and our children."
"Okay if you want to do this then I will be coming with you to sign it, maybe I should do the same we never know when something might happen but I am still not overly happy about it. When are you going to tell your Dad and brothers?"
"I will go down in the morning to speak to them, would you be okay staying here now that I have told you?"
"No problem Virgil, I still can't believe that we have all three babies together. We are going to be busy tonight so let's get some sleep while we can." Said Jo with a smile, she was right in away because we are going to be up every couple of hours feeding during the night.
