A Family Life

Chapter 24

(In Virgil's point a view)

It had been a few weeks now; we had started to get into a nice routine with Robyn and the babies. We started Robyn on her reading and she is picking it up really well, while Jo was down at the sickbay with Robyn Scott had called up to see me.

"Are you okay to chat Virg?"

"Yeah, I can chat, the babies are a sleep and Jo is down in the sickbay with Robyn getting her cast took off. What do you want to talk about?"

"I just need some advice; how would you feel if I wanted to ask Lisa to marry me?"

"You really want to do this Scott? I'd be really happy about it and so would Jo, you deserve some happiness." I said while putting my hand on his shoulder for support. Just then Grandma came up to say that Dad wanted to see us in the lounge. So, we walked into the lounge and Jo was also there.

"You wanted to see us Dad?"

"Yes, I have just done a quick background check on Lisa only to discover that she is The Hood's daughter. So, tell me how are we meant to trust her if she is related to him?"

"Dad we had no idea honest and I bet Lisa doesn't know. We have trusted her the last few months."

"Virgil is right Jeff; I have known Lisa for over 20 years now and she hasn't told me anything about her real family. She was in and out of foster care like me and she had no interest in finding out who her real family are. Lisa delivered Robyn and then did the same with our triplets. If we didn't trust her then she wouldn't be here Jeff."

"Dad, Lisa has done a lot of good and there is no way that she is related to that man, Lisa is a great person Dad just please give her a chance? I was just speaking to Virgil and I told him that I am planning on asking Lisa to marry me."

"Scott, I don't want you to do that just yet, we need to find out more about Lisa and I don't want you taking a chance son." Just then Lisa walks in with Robyn.

"Have you been checking up on me Mr Tracy? Virgil, Jo I thought that you told me that I wouldn't have to go through that? You told me that you trusted me. In that case if you don't want me around then I can be gone in the next 24 hours. Scott, I love you but I can't stand the way that I am getting treated here." Said Lisa who walked out of the lounge to start packing. It didn't take Scott long to go after her. I can't believe that Dad did that to Scott of all people. So, I had to say something to him.

"Dad how could you do that to Scott? He loves Lisa and now he could lose her."

"Virg?"

"Yeah Jo?"

"I am going to take Robyn back up to the apartment, I just don't want her hearing this."

"That's okay Jo, I want to finish talking with Dad here." I said while looking over at my Dad. Once Jo and Robyn had gone Dad spoke to me.

"Virgil, I needed to do this check, we do this with all our agents and you know that."

"Dad we have always trusted Lisa, if you didn't trust her then how come you sent her out with us to Chicago. What has changed now?"

"The fact that Lisa is related to The Hood, it just made me think that's all. Virgil what if Lisa is working with her Father to get to us? I don't want him getting anything from Lisa."

"Dad Lisa has no idea about her family, in fact she has been part of our family since she helped bring our babies into the world. Just please give her a chance to show you what she can do? She is a really good person Dad."

"Okay Virgil, I get your point I will give Lisa a chance. Are you sure that she doesn't know about her family?"

"No Dad she doesn't and if she did then I am sure that we would have been told by now."

"Okay son why don't you go back up to your family? I am sorry if I over reacted."

"Then how did you find out about The Hood having a daughter?"

"He told me a few years ago, it wasn't until Lisa came here, I could see that she looked like him. So, I checked on the computer and both came up as a match.

"Okay let's leave it there for now, I just hope Scott can talk Lisa into staying, did you know that Lisa is expecting Scott's baby?"

"I didn't know Virgil, is he going to support her through this?"

"Yes, Scott is planning on doing just that, he is in love with Lisa and I am really glad to see that. It's a few years now since he lost his first wife. I said before I left to make my way up to our apartment again.

(In Scott's Point A View)

As soon as Lisa ran out of the lounge, I took myself off after her. I got to the kitchen to see that Lisa is in there with Tin-Tin so I stood back and I could tell that she was really upset by this. I just can't let Lisa go now.

"Tin-Tin I need you to fly me back home, I can't stay here."

"Lisa what happened?"

"I had brought Robyn to the lounge to save her parents coming to get her, when I heard Mr Tracy explaining to Scott, Virgil and Jo that he done a check on me. I got told by Virgil and Jo that it wouldn't happen. Was I ever trusted?"

"It is possible that both Jo and Virgil didn't know about Mr Tracy doing the checks. But if you still want to go then I really don't mind flying you back, but please talk to Scott at least I am sure he is just as confused as you are right now. Believe me Scott is a great guy and I can tell that you have stolen his heart." Said Tin-Tin who had spotted me in the door way and nodded for me to walk in. Once I walked in Tin-Tin said that she had something to do.

"Scott I'm sorry but I really need to leave now, if your family don't trust me."

"Hey I trust you and so do both Virgil and Jo. Dad should never have done that check without letting any of us know about it, I don't care who you are related because I love you Lisa and I won't let you go now" I said as I pulled Lisa into a kiss.

"I still don't know if I want." Said Lisa who didn't get time to finish what she was saying because Lisa bent over with cramps.

"Lisa look at me, I am going to take you to the sickbay and call Jo and Tin-Tin to look you over."

"Okay but I need the bathroom first Scott, I need to check something." Said Lisa as I took her into the bathroom. As she was in there, I decided to call Virgil. "Scott to Virgil come in bro."

"Hey Scott what's wrong?"

"It's Lisa, I don't know what is wrong but she took cramps and asked to go to the bathroom. Virgil, I have this awful feeling and I need Jo down to the sickbay to check Lisa out."

"Okay Scott Jo is on her way down just get Lisa into the sickbay and we will find out what is going on. Did you manage to talk to her okay?"

"I did but I am not sure of she still wants to stay."

"Jo is on her way now Scott just get her to the sickbay'"

"Thanks Virgil."

"No problem I will pop down when I can get someone up here to mind Robyn and the babies. There isn't any point in panicking over nothing. Just take things easy." Said Virgil before he ended the call with me. I know whatever happens now then I need to support Lisa with this, she is going to need me to be there.
