The Spin Off – Part 9
Duncan pulled up at the station in the landrover. There was no one else about so he left the vehicle a banded in front, like he usually did. He jumped out and stood leaning against the bonnet. He looked at his watch, he had no idea what time to expect the train but it should be some time soon. So he wondered on to the platform, and had a bit of a nose round. He was just having a little look over the platform when the loud noise of the train made him jump. Quickly he stepped back and looked around to see if anyone had seen him jump.
The train came to a sudden halt in front of him and Duncan waited to see if any one got off. No one appeared to be getting off so Duncan turned round and started walking back to the car, suddenly he heard a familiar Glasgow accent bellow over the sounds of the train leaving the station. "MA WEE MAN!" Lexie shouted happily. Duncan spun round; a huge smile appeared on his face as he saw Lexie standing on the platform, "LEX!" he shouted starting to run over. When he reached her they fell into each other's arms. The two great friends reunited, they stood on the platform hugging for a while until Ellie started crying due to lack of attention. Duncan and Lexie laughed, "Nearly forgot about the bairns then" Duncan said going and taking the bag from Lexie while she pushed the buggy.
Meanwhile back in London...
Archie paced around the room waiting for Paul's phone call to say Lexie had arrived. He was dreading going home tomorrow, secretly he knew that if he went back he might not want to leave again. It was also facing the fact that Paul was now laird. Archie would be lost with nothing to do. Archie had told Lexie that his reason for leaving was to start a new life somewhere else, as he felt his job at Glenbogle was done, but in actual fact it was because Glenbogle bought back too many memories for him and every time he went back the heartache would come back again and haunt him.
Back in Glenbogle...
Duncan stopped the landrover out in front of the house. Lexie got out slowly, taking it all in again she hadn't been here for about a year now. She smiled to herself as she looked up at the old house, her home. Duncan appeared beside her holding Kyla. "Er Lex...which one have I got again?" Duncan said looking at Kyla then at Ellie. Lexie laughed at him "Ya Bampot that's Kyla" she said picking Ellie up and shutting the door. "Well Girls...this is your home" Lexie said talking to the twins as they all walked inside.
"Hello!" Lexie called as they entered the hall. She put her bag down and moved Ellie up again on her hip. "Molly?" she called again. Molly appeared with a huge smile on her face and arms open wide at the end of the hall. "Molly!" Lexie said eyes lighting up. "Lexie dear" Molly said smiling and greeting her daughter in law and grandchild. They hugged before Lexie handed Molly Ellie and went back to help Duncan.
"Lexie..." Duncan called from behind "She's crying...what do I do?" Duncan said holding a crying Kyla. Lexie laughed again "Give her here" she said holding her arms open. "Lexie" Paul's voice came from behind her. Lexie turned round there was Paul standing in front of her "Paul" Lexie said smiling. Paul gave her a kiss on the cheek before smiling as Kyla let out a little gurgle. "She's beautiful," Paul said stroking Kyla's hair. "Which reminds me...I have to go make a phone call" "To Archie" Lexie said serious, her happiness fading. "You want to speak to him?" Paul asked "No...not right now" Lexie said walking past him, she started talking with Molly when she reached her, and the two women walked out of sight. Paul went over to the phone and dialled.
"Archie, it's Paul" "Oh hi Paul...is Lexie there and the girls?" "Yes there here" "Is she ok? Is everyone alright?" "Everyone's fine" "Well can I talk to Lexie?" "Sorry Arch she doesn't want to talk to you" "What?" "Archie she said she didn't want to talk to you on the phone right now" "Ok then...well I'm leaving tomorrow" "Ok" "Tell Lexie I love her and the girls" "I will don't worry" "Ok thanks Paul" "See you some time soon then" "Yeah...Bye" "Bye..."
