The Wedding

Chapter 7: My daughter giving me an order!

"Mummy, Daddy" Robyn called from where she was laying on the bed. As everyone gathered round her bed to see how she was doing, Jeff and Penny both left for the office to give Virgil and Jo their time with their daughter.

"Hey sweetness are you ok?"

"Why is everyone yelling? I didn't mean to go down to the pool on my own." Robyn said with a panic in her voice, clearly she was thinking that her parents were going to be mad at her for going off on her own.

"So Uncle Gordon wasn't down with you then Angel?" asked Virgil very gently as he knelt down beside Robyn and Jo placed her hand on her head to stroke it gently.

"No daddy."

"Sweetheart you mustn't go down there on your own not without me, your daddy or any of your uncles, I know this place is still really new to you but we want to protect you ok." Jo explained as she gave Robyn a kiss on the fore head.

"Daddy?"

"Yes Angel?" said Virgil.

"Would you please go and say sorry to Uncle Gordon, because I don't like fighting...oh and I want my teddy bear cuddle too please." Robyn said with a yawn.

"Ok I will go and find uncle Gordy and then bring you your teddy bear." He said with a small smile.

Virgil left the sickbay to go and look for his brother. However, he couldn't seem to find him so he connected to Alan up in TB5.

"Virgil calling Alan." Virgil said into his watch.

"Go ahead Virgil, is everything alright?" Asked Alan as it had been a while since he'd been told anything.

"Everything is fine now Alan and Robyn is almost back to her own self again." replied Virgil.

"Oh that's good; what else did you want to call me about?"

"See if you can tell me where Gordon is? I was really awful to him in the sickbay earlier and we sort of started fighting and it woke Robyn up. She heard she told me to find Gordon and say sorry to him." explained Virgil, feeling guilty over his earlier words to Gordon.

"Robyn is a true Tracy there Virg and a smart one at that, I really can't wait to meet her now. Yeah it looks as if Gordon is in the pool now."

"Ok thanks Alan. Talk to you later buddy." He quickly signed off. Virgil felt really awful about what he said to Gordon so he quickly made his way down to the pool. He smiled sadly as he watched Gordon doing laps.

"Hey Gords?" He hoped his brother would forgive him.

"Yeah?" He replied as he stopped swimming.

"Can we talk for a sec? I feel really awful about what happened in the sickbay."

"Give me a sec will you." said Gordon as he made his way out of the pool and came to sit beside Virgil on the sun lounger.

"I just want to say how sorry I am about all the things I said to you. I was completely out of order...I was just so worried about Robyn, and I know it must have been a shock for you when you saw Robyn in there." Virgil said as he gestured to the water.

"Its ok Virg I know you were only trying to protect Robyn...it was your gut you know, Robyn is such a lovely girl Virg and I am sure she is going to be a fine Tracy at that." replied Gordon.

"Oh she already is a Tracy, as soon as she woke up, she asked for her teddy bear and also told me to come and talk to you."

"What did she hear all that yelling then?" asked Gordon with a hint of worry in his voice.

"She must have done bro, but she has me wrapped round her little finger now and no doubt it will be for other wee things." Virgil grinned as he spoke.

"I guess the father in you has taken over then?" replied Gordon with a smile.

"It has in away but...hey you are smiling, so is everything cool between us?" There was still fear in his voice.

"Yeah everything is fine Virg, I knew you'd be ok once you had calmed down." replied Gordon as he pulled Virgil into a brotherly hug.

"There's something else I need a hand with, something that only uncle Gordy could do?"

"Really what is it?" Asked Gordon, sounding really excited.

"Well Robyn is going to be six in two days time and I want to plan a wee pool party for her but I need you to get a few things like some sort of flotation device you know something that would keep her safe in the water." He needed to be sure that this wouldn't happen again.

"It also might be a good idea to build some kind of maybe a fence or something that way she won't fall into the pool or anything." Gordon said as he thought.

"Do you think that getting maybe, dare I say it, CCTV down here too and link it to dads office. That way if Robyn disappears again without anyone knowing we can watch her that sort of thing."

"Why don't we both go to dad about these ideas, I mean I think they're pretty cool but it's getting dad to put everything in place." Virgil nodded as his brother spoke, an idea suddenly came to mind.

"Do you want to come with me and see how Robyn is doing now? I'm sure she needs you to cheer her up. Oh and we sort of need to go and get her teddy bear." Virgil laughed as Gordons face lit up.

"Now that I would love to do and Virg?"

"Yeah Gords?"

"Don't worry about taking Robyn for swimming lessons, I would be happy to take her bro."

"Oh by the way Gordon thanks for taking Robyn yesterday, I was sort of in the middle of planning on asking Jo to marry me last night and you came just at the right time before Robyn could over hear anything."

Virgil and Gordon had now reached the bedrooms where both Jo and Robyn were sleeping for the moment. They quickly walked into Robyn's bedroom to grab her teddy bear that was sitting on her bed.

"So Virg are Jo and Robyn going to be moving over here for good or have you not talked about it yet?" Asked Gordon as they walked down to the sickbay.

"I have said to Jo about it but I really don't want to push her into it, she has a job to go back to plus friends, I just don't want her to rush herself into it for me." explained Virgil as he walked into the sick with Gordon. As soon as Gordon walked in

"Uncle Gordy!
