A family Life

Chapter 3

(In Virgil's point a view)

We had arrived back at the hospital to see that Lisa had Rebecca out and ready for us, I don't think we could believe that we were here about to hold our daughter for the first time. I know that Dad is on his way over and told us that he would meet us here.

"Jo why don't you sit down, and I will hand Rebecca over to you? Are you up to trying to feed her now?" Asked Lisa

"Yeah I can give it a go and see what happens" said Jo as Lisa handed Rebecca over to her and helped place her on the breast. It didn't take very long for Rebecca to latch onto Jo. I could tell that Jo seem nervous about this, so I put my hand on her shoulder to give her some much needed support. Rebecca still had a small tube in her nose to help her with her breathing still, but it was good to see her out.

It took a few minutes, but Jo had managed to feed Rebecca without any problem. When Jo had finished Lisa had said it was my turn to hold her. I couldn't help but notice that Rebecca is the double of her Mummy.

"By the looks of its Jo, your little girl seems to like her Daddy" said Lisa with a smile. I couldn't help but smile back at Lisa. After that Lisa handed Rebecca back to Jo, Lisa did say that she wanted to talk to us.

"You wanted to talk to us?"

"We will be waiting a couple of more weeks before we can transfer Scotty to the children's hospital. The heart doctor from the hospital is coming down to see him within the next couple of days or so. Scotty still has a long way to go but he will get there."

I love that Lisa is keeping us up to date with everything, at least we know where we are now with all of this. While Jo was spending time with Rebecca, I headed outside to get some air. As I was doing some thinking Dad arrives.

"Is everything Okay Virgil?"

"Everything is fine Dad, we got to hold Rebecca today for the first time and she is Jo's double, we have Joshua back home with us, so Mum is keeping an eye on him for us. Scotty has a hole in his heart, so the hospital wants to transfer him in the next couple of weeks."

"I bet you are glad all this is over now, and you can start to focus on your family now, your brothers and I are really happy for you. I know that you will be going through a lot here, but we will be here for you and Jo"

"You know when I got the news that Jo had to go into a coma, I couldn't believe it. I thought my world was coming to an end, if I had of lost Jo Dad, I don't know what I would have done. Its hard to believe that this time last year we were trying to plan our wedding. We have been through so much Dad. I just can't believe how far we have come."

"The main thing is that you are still together, did you get a chance to talk to Jo about IR?"

"Yeah she is happy to go with the six months on and off the island, if we could get some time, I would love for Jo to come out on a mission with us, not now but when the babies are older."

"I will think about it Virgil, Have you anything else on your mind?"

"We had to tell Lisa who we are Dad, I am sorry, but Lisa has been with us from the start and I know that we can trust her."

"Its okay son, I do trust your judgement on this one, it wouldn't surprise me if Scott is the next to get married. He seems happy now and he did tell me that he had feelings for Lisa."

"I just hope that he tells her soon Dad, we were hoping that this would happen. He deserves a bit of happiness now."

"I know Virgil he had told me that you gave Lisa his number and I am so glad you did." Said Dad as we walked back into the hospital to see that Jo was now feeding Scotty. "This is really good to see" I said as we made our way over to Jo and I gave her a kiss on the lips. Once Dad had seen Scotty for himself, I walked Dad over to see Rebecca. If I am honest, I think I seen tears in Dad's eyes, but he wouldn't let on. So, an hour later we made our way back home to see Joshua. I still can't believe that Joshua was holding his own and that we were able to bring him home with us.

"Hey Mum, how has Joshua been?"

"He has been doing fine Virgil and I think he is due a feed soon"

"Okay Lucy could you do me a bottle up for him with the breast milk? I fed Rebecca and Scotty for the first time, so I feel a bit sore now"

"That is not a problem Jo, you sit down and relax with Joshua now, I really think that he has been missing his Mummy and Daddy" said Mum as she handed Joshua over to Jo while she went to get a bottle sorted ready for her.

"Wow Joshua is your double Virgil and he seems alert too" said Dad as he took the seat beside Jo to get a good look at him.

"Dad do you want to hold him?" I asked Dad who had nodded, and I handed our son over to Dad. While Dad was holding Joshua, I can tell that Jo had become upset over something.

"Hey Jo, is everything all right?"

"I am feeling awful, we should have never sent Robyn off to the island like that, I just want her to meet her new brothers and sister now"

"Jo, we had wanted to wait until the babies were strong enough before we introduce them to Robyn. Don't feel bad about it, Robyn has wanted to go over to the island."

"What about her meds they are sitting there on the table. You know how bad she is about her attacks? You know how bad she is with them" said Jo

"Okay Jo why don't you take Joshua and I will call the island" said Dad who made his way into the kitchen to make the phone call, so I decided to join him. I can't believe that Robyn's meds didn't get lifted

"Jeff Tracy calling Scott Tracy come in Scott"

"Hey Dad, what can I do for you?"

"Scott when you took Robyn did you forget anything that she needed?"

"Oh my God, I am so sorry Robyn is in the pool with Gordon now. I should have made sure that I lifted them"

"Scott calm down and please go and see if Robyn is alright please, Gordon knows about her having asthma and he knows how to treat it. Give us a call once you know what is happening."
