Chapter 7- Times Changing
Disclaimer- The Thunderbirds are not mine, but Emily is mine.
Whilst Alan was at the hospital Tin-Tin had spoken to Jeff Tracy asking if her new roommate Abby could come back to the Island as she didn't have anywhere else to go. Jeff had agreed as long as Tin-Tin looks after Abby and to protect her from the primary business.
It was a week or so later and school was coming to end of term. Their plane was still at the airport and as much as Alan would fly home he knows not to. Being able to keep the peace with his family Alan thought the best choice was to call his Dad to find out if he could fly everyone home. "Hello Dad."
"Hello Alan, what can I do for you?"
"I was wondering if I could fly everyone home as Emily is already home and we don't have any other way to get home."
"Alright Alan, just this once as we have been busy with work lately so yes as I am too tried and so are your brothers."
"Thank you, Dad. Just going to remind you that Tin-Tin is bringing her roommate home. Please let my brothers know that she seems to be twitchy around males."
"Alright Alan. We will see you in a couple of hours, if the school asks you are meeting me at the airport."
"FAB Dad, I will update you later love you Dad."
"Love you to Dad." Alan hung up and finished his packing, once he finished, he went to speak to the others to inform them that he would be flying them home."
School finished Alan and Fermat decided to wait out the front of the school for Tin-Tin and Abby where a taxi was waiting for them thanks to Jeff Tracy.
"Come on guys, let's get home."
They arrived at the airport and started to load into plane. "Tin are you and Abby alright in the back as I am going to need to concentrate on flying home? Fermat are you alright to be my co-pilot?"
"Me and Abby will be fine in the back. Please just get us home Alan."
"I am happy to be your co-pilot Alan." The teens got into the plane and started to taxi down the runway.
Once they got underway Alan called Tracy Island to inform them that they are on their way home. "Tin-Tin"
"Yes Abby."
"I am really scared about meeting the Tracy's. I feel like they are going to judge me and when they see my injuries, they are going to know something is wrong. I can't Tin-Tin."
"Abby, the Tracy's will look after you and I will as well. They are like my brothers I never had."
"Tin I have a secret."
"Tell me Abby."
"When..."
"Please ensure your belts are on, we are coming into land." With that Abby didn't say anything else but sat quietly as they started to come into land on Tracy Island. The Tracy family were waiting for them on the runway to greet them back and to welcome Abby to Tracy Island. As they came into land Tin-Tin saw the panic and worry in Abby.
"Abby, I need you to breath for me." Abby was still hyperventilating so Tin-Tin didn't have another choice to call Alan. "ALAN! I need your help" Alan ran to the back of Tracy 1.
"Tin-Tin, what happen?"
"She started to tell me something before she started to hyperventilate."
"Alright Tin-Tin, Virgil is outside let me go and get him." Alan ran outside where everyone was waiting. "Virgil, we need your medical knowledge inside the plane please." Virgil followed Alan inside the plane where h saw Tin-Tin sat on the floor in front of another girl who was sat in the chair breathing quick but shallow. She was finding it hard to catch her breath.
"Hello I am Virgil Tracy; I am Alan's third oldest brother now I am the family doctor. Is it alright if I help you?" All Abby could do was a small nod her head although she is shy around men but what else could she do.
Virgil and Tin-Tin took Abby to the medical bay and put her straight onto oxygen to help with Abby's breathing. Whilst Virgil and Tin-Tin were dealing with Abby, Alan went back to the cockpit to finish the logs and shutting down the plane, before heading up to the villa with all the bags and all the belongings as well. "Thank you, Dad for allowing me to fly home."
"That is alright Alan. I have to give you some independences sometimes. Now let's head back up before the klaxon goes off again." Alan and Jeff walked back to the villa where Scott, Emily, John and Gordon were all sat around the pool just talking about the latest mission. Scott was looking after Emily as she was feeling under the weather again.
Back down in the medical bay Abby was recovering and Virgil was sat at his desk completing some medical paperwork. Tin-Tin walked over to where he was "Virgil, I know you haven't known Abby that long but does something seem off to you? She said something about having injuries as well."
"I do think something off with Abby. We are going to take each day as it comes and we will support her in any way we can. Now why don't you go and finish unpacking once you are done go and join the others."
"Thank you, Virgil but I better stay here, but you are more than welcome to."
Although Emily had been home for a couple of days the Tracy household was still worried about Emily, but Scott seemed to be happier but no one knew why. With all the Tracy's sat in the living room, both Scott and Emily looked at each other with a smile on their faces. "Guys, we have something we would like to tell you. Now you all know that Emily is pregnant but what we found out when Emily passed out at school was the reason behind it."
"And what is the reason?"
Emily looked at Scott and then back at their family. "The reason I passed out is that I am carrying twins." The looks on everyone's faces was priceless after the shock had worn off, they were all happy for both Scott and Emily, but they also knew that they were going to have their work cut out. Emily left the living room but as she left, she had lost all colour in her face Scott ran across the room to catch his wife before she hit the floor.
"Dad, I am going to take Emily to our room."
"Alright Scott, you know where we are if you need us." Scott left by carrying Emily out of the room and to their bedroom. That is how Scott and Emily stayed for the rest of the night. Jeff checked on his eldest and once he saw he was asleep in a chair looking after hs wife with a book in his hand.
"Oh, Scott what am I going to do with you?"
Tin-Tin and Abby were sat talking and Abby knew she needed to tell someone her biggest secret but finding someone to tell was the hardest bit. "Tin-Tin I have something to tell you."
"Alright Abby."
"I am a foster child and I have jumped around foster homes for the last 5 years after both my parents were killed."
"I am so sorry Abby." Tin-Tin knew she didn't have the full story, but Tin-Tin wasn't going to push Abby for the full story.
