The wedding!
Chapter 2: telling Scott
Virgil still couldn't believe that he had asked Jo to marry him last night. It went better than he had planned. As he was doing a bit of thinking Robyn came out of the bathroom.
"Daddy?"
"Yes, Angel?"
"How many uncles do I have?" asked Robyn
"You have four uncles, Angel, who I am sure will spoil you rotten and will be very over protective of you," Virgil said as he smiled down at her. Part of him can't believe that this little girl is his or that Robyn is the double of him.
"Daddy why have I only met three of my uncles?" asked Robyn, who had only been here for 24 hours and it's only just now that she was asking questions, which Virgil was so glad to see in a way, so he put her on his lap and explained to her.
"Your uncle, Alan, is away at the moment, Angel," Virgil replied.
"So when am I going to meet Uncle Alan then?"
"Not for another three weeks, Angel," Virgil said to her as he put her back down on the floor again so she could play for a bit.
Just as Robyn was playing Virgil heard a knock on the bedroom door.
"Come in!" wondering who it could be at the door.
"Hi there Virg, how are you two doing?" asked Scott.
"We are fine Uncle Scotty," as she threw herself at him for a hug.
"Robyn?"
"Yes daddy?" while pulling herself away from Scott.
"Do you want to go and get your drawing pads for me, while I talk to Uncle Scott a sec?"
"Ok Daddy"
"You look way to happy this morning bro, anything you want to tell me" Scott asked me with a really big smile on his face.
"I can't be happier bro and you know the reason to that!"
"Sorry I had to find out before the others, Virg" replied Scott.
"Well do me and Jo a favour once we tell everyone, I want you to look surprised about it!"
"You ok now that asking Jo to marry you is out of the way?" asked Scott.
"Yeah I am Scott feel really happy that Jo agreed to marry me!"
"Are both Jo and Robyn going to be moving over here to live with you," asked Scott.
"I did ask Jo about it but I don't think she is ready to be honest, she does have a job and friends to go back to. I just don't want Jo to give up everything for me, it will be hard enough for Jo when the time comes, I just don't want to push her Scott. She has just come out of training as a nurse" Virgil replied
"You know Jo could run our sickbay for us?"
"Scott I still need to talk Jo into moving over here first before you or Dad thinks about giving Jo any jobs at all!"
"Yeah I can kinda see where you are coming from there,"
"Dad is going to have a chat with Penny and see if between us we can talk Jo into it!"
"Daddy?" asked Robyn.
"Yes Angel?"
"Would you and Uncle Scotty stop talking 'cause I am hungry here?"
"You are your Uncle Scott's girl that's for sure,"
"What do you mean, Daddy?"
"Because Uncle Scotty is always hungry!" Virgil said, while trying not to laugh.
"Hey!" Scott cried.
"Ok bro all joking aside here, could you take Robyn down for some breakfast while I go and get Jo and walk her down?"
"Sure, ok sweetie, come on!" Scott said as he held out his hand to Robyn who gladly took it.
