Quincy House 10AM:
"Dad, can I go on tour?" Anna- Rita asked. The Quincy children knew that their father was the softy. You had to work if you wanted something with their mother.
"No," Tommy replied sternly.
"Why?" Anna- Rita asked.
"It's not like you or Mom haven't been on one before. Besides, it's a promotional tour. It's technically work."
"Nice try Ari," Tommy said letting out a small life, as Jude walked into the room.
"Mom, can I go on tour?"
"No," Jude replied picking up her purse.
"Why?"
"There's so much that happens on tour honey," Jude said.
"But you guys went on tons of tours!"
"It's different Ari," Tommy told his daughter.
"How?" Anna- Rita challenged.
"It just is!" Tommy said opening the door.
"But---" Anna- Rita tried to protest.
"No! And that's final. Your father and I have to go now," Jude replied.
"Fine!" Anna- Rita grumbled. "It's not I need your permission to go anyways. And the record label owns me, They'll send me."
Hospital 11AM:
"Mrs. Quincy, the doctor will see you now," A nurse said from a doorway in the hospital waiting room. Tommy and Jude were going for Jude's first check- up.
Jude and Tommy stood up, and followed the nurse to a room. "Here's a gown for you to change into Judith (lol)," the nurse said. "The doctor should be in a few minutes," The nurse exited the room. s
"You ready to do this again Quincy?" Jude asked.
"Are you?" Tommy asked, hiding his un- sureness of the situation.
"Pregnancy, no. Child, yes," Jude replied.
Tommy let out a small laugh, but his laughter subsided.
"What's wrong?" Jude asked her husband.
"What if we have another child like Ari?" Tommy asked.
"What do you mean?" Jude asked.
"Ari's been in the hospital how many times? She almost died when she was born, she's been diagnosed with anxiety, asthma, and you know…"
"Tommy, we're it's parents. We're going to love it no matter what," Jude assured Tommy.
"Yeah, I guess…" Tommy said un- surely.
"Mrs. Quincy are you ready to do an ultrasound now?"
"Yes," Jude replied lying down on her back.
"Now, this gel might be a little cold," the doctor said lifting up Jude's gown, and put a cold gel on Jude's stomach.
The doctor moved around the device. "Would you like to know what it is?" the doctor asked.
"Yes," both Tommy and Jude replied.
"Well. It looks here like you're going to have a girl," The doctor ran a few more tests. "I'll have more results in a little while, if you'll wait around,"
The appointment ended, and Tommy and Jude made their way back out to the waiting room.
"I'm going to get something to eat in the cafeteria," Jude told Tommy. "So you want to come?"
Tommy nodded his head 'no', and took a seat on a chair. Jude left, and Tommy decided to take a walk.
Tommy walked down the halls of the hospital, looking into the rooms with open doors, when one room caught his eye. It was a music room for the patients. He walked into the room, and sat down on chair, and picked up the guitar that rested beside him. He strummed a few chord, noting that the guitar way ways out of tune. He tuned the guitar as much as he could (you know ho some guitars just don't want to tune right), and began to play a song that he had begun to write years ago.
If you leap awake
In the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second
You can't remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memory upstream
To the meadow in the mountain
Where we counted every falling star
I believe the light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever
And though I can't guarantee
There's nothing scary hiding under your bed
I'm gonna stand guard
Like a postcard of a Golden Retriever
And never leave till I leave you
With a sweet dream in your head
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loves his daughter more than I love you
Trust your intuition
It's just like going fishing
You cast your line
And hope you're getting a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worrying about the market place
Try to help the human race
Struggling to survive its harshest night
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loves his daughter more than I love you
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you'll always know
As long as one and one is two
There could never be a father
Who loves his daughter more than I love you
Tommy finished playing, and when he looked up there was a small group of people surrounding him, and clapping.
"That was amazing sir!" a man in a wheelchair said.
"How long have you been playing?" a teenage girl asked.
Tommy let out a small smile, and said "thanks!"
Tommy played that song for his daughter Ari, and his other un- born daughter. He played a little longer in the music room, when a teenage girl walked into the room.
"Mr. Q?" the girl asked, "what are you doing here?"
"Hi Penny," Tommy told Patsy Sewer, and Jamie Andrews' daughter.
"Hey you're 'Lil Tommy Q.!" the teenage girl exclaimed.
Tommy let out a smile. "No way!" the girl.
"Yes way!" Penny exclaimed.
"What brings you here Penny?" Tommy asked.
"Jaycee was getting her appendix out," Penny said, pointing to the other teenage girl.
"And you know him?" the girl named Jaycee asked.
Penny nodded, when Jude walked into the room.
"Hey Tommy, we better get going," Jude said.
"Alright Jude," Tommy said.
"And you're the Jude Harrison!"
"Yes I am," Jude smiled, "and who might you be?"
"Jaycee Mills- Docker"
Jude's eyes grew wide.
"As in Portia Mills?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah," Tommy looked like he was hyperventilating, and he was coughing hard.
"Don't worry Mr. Q, you're not my father. My fathers a surgeon, I have the DNA tests to prove it," Jaycee grinned.
Tommy stood speechless, until Portia walked into the room.
"Hey Tom, hey Jude!" she greeted them. "Sorry to interrupt you guys, but Jaycee, Penny, my husband, and I have reservations at a restaurant.
Tommy and Jude still stood speechless.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except the third gens, the doctor, and the man in the hospital. I also do not own "Father and Daughter" by Paul Simon.
A/ N: What do you think? I wasn't originally going to have Jaycee be Portia's, but I just couldn't help myself. She really has no importance, but I pretty much wanted to show that Tommy and Jude are becoming famous faces again Oh, and I wanna try and get at least 4 reviews for this chapter. Please REVIEW! Thanks!
