Chapter 5- Back to School

Scott got back to full health and the doctors at Med were happy to discharge him under the watchful eyes of Jeff and Virgil. Alan and Emily had to go back to school and get back to some normality. "Scott you are not going out on any IR business until you are 100% again."

"But Dad I am fine."

"No Scott. You are on base duties until you are cleared to go back to work."

"Fine Dad. At least I can catch up on some overdue paperwork then." Scott left the office and headed to his room where he was going to lie down as he was suffering in pain and didn't want his family knowing that he was in pain.

Virgil went to get Scott and saw how much pain Scott is in "Scott, if you are in so much pain why didn't you say so?"

"Virgil I am fine"

"Scott, I can see that you are not ok just let me give you something."

"Fine" Virgil gave Scott some morphine and Scott felt so much better for it. Virgil left Scott alone after he fell asleep and went to inform Jeff that Scott was still in pain and suffering silently.

Meanwhile Emily and Alan arrived back at the school knowing that Scott was back home with his family. "Emily, Scott will be fine he is probably worried about you and little one." Emily was 3 months pregnant and she was growing quickly. "Mrs Tracy I will be going to catch up on any school work that I have missed."

"That is fine Alan. I have to speak to the Headteacher about everything that is going on."

"FAB. You know where I am Mrs Tracy."

Emily walked to the Head' office before knocking "Come in." Emily walked into the office "Ah, Mrs Tracy how is everything?"

"Well Mr William my husband is finally back at home recovering he was injured at work when a support beam fell on him and was taken to Chicago Med."

"How are you in yourself?"

"I am alright when little one isn't pushing against my bladder but I am alright otherwise."

"Mrs Tracy I am worried about your health, but I am happy to allow you to continue to teach longs you are careful and if it gets too much for you then you will need to stop teaching at least until the child is born."

"That is fine with me. Even if I have a class and they have a study periods I am allowing Alan, Tin-Tin and Fermat to sit in the back of the class doing any school work they need to do."

"I don't mind longs you are happy to have them in there."

"Thank you, Sir." Emily left the office before heading back to the teacher's dorm to put her overnight bag away then headed back to her classroom. She was hoping that she wouldn't have to use her overnight bag again. Then she had one more job to do and that was to call home. The phone rang a couple of times before someone answered it. "Tracy Island."

"Hello Dad"

"Hello Emily. You got back to the school alright?"

"Yes, we did. I spoke to the Head and he is happy for me to carry on teaching until it gets too much for me. How is Scott?"

"Alright Emily, I am wanting you to take it easy and you know where Alan is if you are in need of any help. As for Scott, Virgil said he had a headache and gave him some pain relief but he is silently suffering in pain and not wanting anyone to know or help him."

"Thank you, Dad. I will speak to Scott later and make sure he is alright cause you know how he gets with the Tracy stubbornness. I know it is hard for Scott to ask for help but please look after him Dad."

"We will Emily and I want you to look after yourself and the baby."

"I will Dad. Speak to you later bye." Emily hung up and then started to rub her stomach as it was hurting her and it left an uneasy feeling with in her, but she knew she needed to carry on.

Alan walked into the dining room and saw Tin-Tin sat at a table with another girl who looked shy and very uncomfortable but walked towards them anyway so Alan could speak to Tin-Tin. As Alan got closer to them Abby started to panic and was shaking Tin-Tin looked at Alan before she shook her head to tell Alan to stop and walk away. Alan knew Tin-Tin would explain at a later date.

Once Alan had dinner, he went to see Emily and to see how she was doing and to speak to her about Tin-Tin's new roommate. Alan walked to her classroom and knocked on the door. "Come in." Alan walked in and saw Emily sat behind her desk "What can I do for you Alan?"

"I came to see how you are and how the little Tracy is?"

"I am alright Alan although the little Tracy is causing me a few problems and leaving me uncomfortable but please don't tell Scott. I don't need him worrying about me. It isn't like I can't look after myself. I am a big girl and can look after myself."

"I know you can Em expect you are looking after another human being and it is clear that you are finding it hard. Scott wants to help anyway he can but he can't with you here and Scott on the Island and you are finding it hard and so is Scott."

"I know Alan but I need to do this. When the little Tracy is born, I don't know what I would do."

"Emily, you know we will support you anyway that we can but I am sure that Scott will support you anyway he can. Emily can I speak to you about something else?"

"What is it Alan?"

"When we got back, I went into the dining room and saw Tin-Tin sat with another girl as I started to walk towards them, she started to panic and shake not before Tin-Tin shook her head to tell me not to come any closer. What is going on Emily?"

"You can't tell anyone but Tin-Tin's new roommate Abby Pond is a foster child and I believe something has been ging on with her foster parents especially the males so it could be something to do with that. The best thing to do is to keep your distance for now Alan until Tin-Tin or Abby have spoken to you."

"I will keep this quiet and I will keep my distance unless Tin-Tin is on her own. Em you know where I am if you need me and please don't be a stranger even if it is just to talk."

"Thank you, Alan. I think I am going to go and have a lie down as I didn't sleep all that well due to little Tracy keeping me up all night. Alan do you mind ringing home so I don't have to."

"Not at all Mrs Tracy you enjoy your rest and I will deal with the rest." Emily walked towards the teacher's dorms as she walked into her room, she became dizzy and passed out on the floor with no-one around to help. That is where she stayed with her dorm room door open.
