Sorry this took soo long to get up but me and the beautiful beta reader overwhelmed with homework and social activities. Ok so here it is the finale chapter of the secrets of John tracy.

John lay on his back viewing his surroundings. He had no idea what was going on. From what he could gather he was on Tracy Island. However there was a person in the room whom he didn't recognise. What was going on? Why was this woman standing in a room that was identical to Tracy Island's medical room? Who was she talking to? A pit bull?

John attempted to move but pain went roaming through his body from his leg right to his ribs. He moved slightly and tried to talk but all that came out were groans. This alerted the woman to his consciousness. John instantly regretted moving and attracting her attention. After all, he had no idea who she was.

"Ah Mr. Tracy, I see you have decided to bless me with your full presence."

John was petrified. 'I must have been kidnapped. This woman is doing medical experiments on me or something.' he thought to himself.

She was English. How the hell could he have gotten in England? John instantly became fearful. He would have to keep his guard, not say a word about International Rescue, even if it meant his death.

"Mr. Tracy, my name is Doctor Smith. You are in your home on Tracy Island. You were involved in an accident. Do you remember anything about that?" said Dr. Haley Smith, trying not to scare John.

'An accident, what accident?' John thought to himself. He still wasn't trusting this so-called doctor, and was not willing to say a word.

"OK Mr. Tracy. If you don't remember that's OK. Many people don't remember accidents happening to them. Now I see you're in a great deal of pain so I'm just going to give you a mild pain killer to ease it."

John moved to resist, he kept moving his arms which made Haley's job, of injecting the pain killers almost impossible as she struggled to keep his arm still. John noticed the door open and saw the most beautiful sight he had ever seen in his life. His wife.

Their eyes made contact. Pipa rushed forward and embraced John in an emotional hug. John whispered into her ears: "I love you". They broke apart. Pipa was in tears of deep relief and Haley sneakily had managed to jab John with pain killers before going to check on other things.

"John, oh thank God, you're awake. You gave me such a scare." She said, slumping down onto the chair next to his bed, tears still streaming down her face.

John looked worried. He didn't have a clue about what was going on. He assumed he was on Tracy Island if he could trust that so-called Doctor. His wife was here. What the hell had happened?

"Pipa, what's going on? Where am I? How are you here?" Pipa just smiled and then went on to tell John everything about his accident, Alan telling his father everything, and Lucy and herself being here the whole time he was in a coma.

After Pipa had told John everything he looked a bit more relaxed, mostly that the Doctor wasn't trying to kill him. Haley had also stepped in just as Pipa was finishing. John still needed a great deal of rest.

Pipa agreed and just sat watching her husband, so happy that he was finally awake.

After a good day of rest, John was finally up for seeing his brothers and father. Haley had been strict on visiting when he had first awoken. But now a day had passed and they were all anxious to see him and John was anxious to see them too.

Haley was only allowing 2 of his brothers in at a time, so first Scott and Virgil went. They all spoke about the accident and then John tried to explain about why he had kept his marriage and child a secret. Virgil understood. After all, they all had secrets in their lives.

Scott was less forgiving and basically grunted when the topic was brought up. After about half an hour Alan and Gordon came knocking on the door demanding to have their time with John. Virgil and Scott left, both nagging that they didn't have enough time. Haley said there would be plenty of time later, as she followed them out of the room.

"I'm so sorry John, I had to tell him. Pipa first of all would have killed me, and secondly, well actually, there is no second, but I'm sorry I told dad, but I had to." said Alan, praying that his older brother wouldn't punch him, even if he was too weak right now.

"Alan, you did me a favour. I should have told Dad from the start. It was foolish of me to try and hide it. I guess a 'thank you' is in order here." John smiled slightly. "Although I'm never going to tell you a secret again." he said pulling Alan into a hug.

Gordon just stood there staring at his two brothers hugging. He had missed John and was extremely close to him, but the conversation that he and his father had when had been told about Pipa and Lucy, kept rounding on his mind.

It finally became too much and he decided to get it out in the open.

"John, why was Alan the only one you told about Lucy and Pipa? Are you ashamed of us or something?"

John's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Gordon no! How could you think that?"

The moment the words left his mouth, Jeff entered the room and looked at his son.

"Funny John, I was thinking the exact same thing as Gordon." Jeff said sternly "Would you care to explain why you decided that your family, who you live with and also work with, were not told about your marriage and child."

John gulped. This was going to be the worst thing ever and knew that it wasn't going to be easy.

"I'll start from the beginning. I'll tell you everything from when I met Pipa! I don't want any disapproving looks or glances till I am finished and you know everything." He said, looking directly at his father.

"I met Pipa 7 years ago. I was in Atlanta for a book signing or something, I can't remember. We started dating for a while. It quickly got pretty seriously. After a year we decided to marry. I knew I had to tell you guys, however I knew you, Dad, would put a stop to our relationship and quite frankly I could not accept that. So I told Alan. He knew I had been seeing a girl for quite some time, but didn't know anything else about us. So I decided that Alan would be the first person I told. I told him on Thunderbird 5 when we spent a month on board together, updating everything and making some of our own personal adjustments.

Well, you would stick us up there all the time Dad." glancing at Jeff's disapproving look. "Alan was over the moon for us and desperate to meet Pipa. However, I hadn't told Pipa about International rescue and this was the next thing on my to-do-list. So I told her.

She didn't take it well. She was shocked to find that I had lied to her. Thankfully she had managed to forgive me and had promised to keep our secret. So we married. Alan was my best man. I still didn't have the guts to tell you all and still Dad, I knew deep down, you would not let us be together and Alan is the only one able to keep secrets in this family so he was, well, the only one I trusted with my secret.

Pipa became pregnant and I tried to be with her as much as I could. I had a book launch around that time and needed as much time off as possible and you gave me that time. However, the book launch only meant a few signings, and the rest of the time I was with Pipa in her final month of pregnancy.

Lucy was born. Both Pip's mom and ours were coincidentally called "Lucy" so we decided that it was only right to call our first child Lucy. I knew by this time that I could no longer tell you guys that I was a husband and father. It had gone on too far for you to accept us. Pipa pleaded but I was scared of telling you all. I was afraid of what your reaction would be. For the last 7 years I have spoken to my wife almost every night from Thunderbird 5, and I've spent my time off with my family in Atlanta. She is my wife and Lucy is my daughter. You may not accept them, but they are my family. They're your family."

Alan stood waiting for his father's and Gordon's reactions. John waited breathlessly for them.

Jeff got up and left the room, thus stabbing John through the heart with an emotional sword.

Gordon however turned to John, simply looking… well, John couldn't explain it.

"I have had a niece for the last 5 years and I get told 2 weeks ago! Do you know how much training in my school of jokes she has missed?"

John tried to smile, but his father leaving the room was deeply troubling him.

-----------------------

Jeff walked round and round the island, thinking to himself. John had kept that secret for so long, expecting my disapproval, and rejecting that girl and child, my grand child, from the family. How could he think this of him? His other four sons must think the same. Well, true as it may be, I would have tried to stop the relationship, but if it was true love, which it is, then I would have allowed it. Oh dear, I have ruined the lives of my sons.

Jeff finally slumped down on the beach. My 5 sons' lives ruined because I wanted to fulfil a stupid dream! Scott, I made him leave the air force, the only place he was extremely happy... John his career at NASA and his wife. I made Virgil give up his life of arts, his musical talents wasted. Gordon. Although I never made him give up his career in WASP, I was glad he came to this deprived island. Alan was just out of college when I begged him to join his family. He didn't even have a chance to have a life. What have I done?

Jeff was beginning to cry. This had hit him hard. He had always thought his sons would come to him with anything, like they had done when they were kids.

------------------------

A few hours had passed when Jeff had finally come indoors. He went straight for the medical ward. He wanted to talk to John.

He entered the medical room to see John, Pipa and Lucy all eating some dinner, with Lucy trying to show John her new batch of tricks. John looked ever so happy.

He knocked, not really wanting to be overpowering. Pipa and John both looked shocked to see Jeff knock instead of just enter. Jeff walked over and sat down next to Pipa. He looked at John.

"Don't look so worried son. I just want a quick chat about arrangements for, well, for you getting better, and for the future."

John just smiled which made Pipa smile and Lucy scream for taking their attention off her.

Jeff went on to explain that John should go to Atlanta to recover. The summer was closing to an end and Lucy would have school starting soon. Jeff also went on to explain that, although John still would have to spend a month up on Thunderbird 5, he would also be sending either Brains or Tin-Tin up for rotation, thus giving both Alan and John more time on Earth. John was to get a whole month off at a time, which meant he could spend it with Pipa and Lucy. John and Pipa just smiled at each other.

-----------------------

It was 6 am on the day of John's departure to the mainland. Virgil was flying Pipa, Lucy and John to Atlanta and then taking Haley to New York, so the house would be full of movement in a few short hours.

Jeff crept along the sleeping quarters of the island, carefully trying not to wake anyone, well, except his sons. He walked into Virgil's room. He wasn't there! Jeff thought that maybe he had gone to the bathroom or something. He woke Scott, Alan and Gordon. He managed to get 2 shoes and an Olympic Gold medal thrown at him for waking them. Next was John. He crept slowly in his room to see him awake and reading.

"John, can you make your way to the debriefing room? I want a word with you and your brothers."

John looked up and just nodded, trying not to wake his sleeping wife lying next to him. All he had to do now was find Virgil. He looked to see Virgil walking out of his room already changed for the new day. Jeff just shook his head.

"Virgil, I need you in the debriefing room."

"Sure Dad, Alan just told me."

--------------------------------------------------------------

Jeff was last to enter the briefing room. He held 6 mugs of coffee on a tray for the boys and himself.

"Boys, I wanted a chance to talk to you all before everything changes and I want one thing. A promise from all of you. I don't want any secrets between any of us. I want them all out in the open. Please boys, do this for me. If you enter a relationship, tell me. I promise you I will not disapprove and if it gets serious I will be happy for you and allow you to tell that person about our secret. Please, promise me this, boys. I really couldn't cope if you kept it from me."

The boys all nodded in unison. They basically all agreed. At this precise moment Alan moved to say something and was basically stared down by all of his brothers.

"Stop staring at me." He said looking at his brothers. "No secrets Dad, OK, here goes. Scott smokes illegal substances, so does Virgil from time to time. Virgil is sleeping with Haley. Gordon loves space even though he will deny it at all costs, and he has a soft side: his most loved movie is "Ghost". John, well, we know about John, and he has made heaps of unknown modifications to Thunderbird 5. As for me, you can all read me like a book, so what's the point in keeping secrets. You all know about Tin-tin and me."

They all glared at Alan, all feeling the urge to run and never look back, while Jeff looked at his sons disbelievingly.

The end. Crappy ending I know, sorry. Thanks for reading this story review if you want it will make me happy even horrid ones make me happy (why I do not know I love flamers.) Anyway this will be my last fic for a while I have one in mind but no time to write it. If you really want me to write it then you can do my homework for me instead. Thanks again for reading bye.
