The Secret Marriage
Chapter 7
(In Scott's point of view)
I still can't believe how supportive Dad is with all of this. When Virgil said about calling Dad and telling him about what had happened, I was that bad that Virgil had to break the news to Dad. Anyway, while I was waiting for Dad to arrive, I decided to try calling Rebecca's parents again. I had tried once and I wasn't giving up because her parents needed to know this. After half an hour of trying, I gave up trying, thinking that they would call me back.
Just then my watch goes off, telling me that John is calling me, what if Dad has told the others what is going on? If I am honest I don't want to speak to anyone, but knowing John he will keep calling until I pick up.
"Scott here, John."
"You look awful bro; Dad told us what's going on. I know this is a silly question, but are you okay?"
"Not really John, I am so sorry that I kept this from all of you. I just wish this never had happened to me. All I wanted was a bit of happiness, John, and this is what I get!" I said with tears in my eyes. It's not the first time I have broken down on Virgil and John but I have never done this in front of Alan or Gordon.
"Scott, you are going to be fine, you have everyone here to support you. I know it seems as if your world has ended right now. We know that this will never get easier, but we will be here the whole time for you."
"Thank you for that, John, it's only been a couple of days and I miss her so much."
"Scott, why don't you log into the computer so I can see you? I am sure that your little girl is due her feed about now."
"John, I don't want to pick her up, not after what happened to her mother. She needs her mother right now, not me." I said to John, as I logged onto the computer, as promised he was there.
"Scott!She needs you more than ever now!Why don't you start picking her up and nursing her? Do you have a name for her yet?
"Yeah, we were calling her,Leanne."
"Okay, why don't you start by picking Leanne up? I promise I will be here the whole time, Scott. You can do this, you know you can. Have you held Leanne since she was born?" Asked John.
If I was honest, I haven't really held her properly yet. But what do I tell John?
"Well, Scott,have you held her yet?"
"Not really, John. I know that I need to,but for some reason I don't want to hold her, not just yet." I said to my brother.
"Scott, you really need to hold Leanne. I am not leaving here until you at least pick her up and hold her, bro. Your daughter needs you now."
After John had said that, I knew that he wasn't going to leave me alone until I had picked my daughter up and done this. So I told John to hold on while I went and got her out of the bassinet that the hospital gave me for her. Once I had Leanne in my arms, John said it was about time and went off line. Anyway I kept Leanne in my arms sleeping, and believe it or not I fell asleep too.
