On the way to Gretna
Within half an hour of the letter being read, the Hunters and Stuart were on their way to Gretna Green, in the hope that they would catch the pair, before the wedding service. They had been lucky enough to get three plane tickets (for Sam, Phil and Stuart. Tania was looking after Jack) from Heathrow to Glasgow, they would then take the train to Dumfries, then a bus, or something to Gretna. The journey would take approximately 3 hours. They hadn't bothered calling the police, because of them both being over 16, but they had called Tyler's family in Scotland. They had said they would try and get to Gretna and stop the wedding.
Meanwhile, Angel and Tyler sat huddled together on the train. In a few hours, they would be man and wife, and frankly they couldn't wait. Angel could feel butterflies, like she had never had before, fluttering around her stomach. She was so excited, but she was also scared her and Tyler's family would wreck things. She was aware that by now they would have read the letter and be on their way, but with any luck they'd be too late. Tyler, thought the same. He had been shocked, and angry at first when she told him about the letter, but now he understood why she had done it. She wanted to give their families a chance to see them get married and be happy. He just hoped that if they did turn up, that would be their only reactions. Finding out your teenage child is getting married and having a child must be a bit of a shock. He thought about how he would react if his child happened to be in the situation. He hoped they wouldn't. He also hoped that he and Angel would never try and stop their child from being in love. That their child trusted them enough to tell them all their secrets.
The hours when past slowly for both parties. But eventually for Angel and Tyler it was soon over. Within one taxi ride from the station they would be at the very place they were soon to be wed. Angel looked across at Tyler, and squeezed his hand. 'No going back now.' She mouthed. He gripped her hand tighter and they walked towards the taxi the nerves mounting. The butterflies in Angel's stomach getting larger.
Meanwhile…
Stuart, Phil and Sam ran out of the airport straight towards the nearby taxi rank.
'Gretna Green.' Stuart shouted at the taxi driver.
'It'll cost you mate.' The taxi driver informed them.
'It don't matter, he's paying.' Phil nodded towards Stuart.
'I don't care whose paying, step on it. We've got to get there on time. I'll never forgive myself if she marries and I'm not there.' Sam sobbed.
'Is that all you care about, you not being at the wedding? She's sixteen, pregnant and getting hitched to his son.' Again he jerked his head at Phil.
'This ain't helping mate. And your precious daughter could have kept her knickers on. She's more to blame than Tyler.' Stuart stated.
'I ain't your bloody mate!! How dare you. She never would have done anything like this before your charming son showed up.'
'Phil. Stuart. This won't help the situation. They're getting married and having a baby whether we want them to or not. I just want to be there for her. My only daughter is getting married and I want to be there.' Sam's sobs grew louder.
'She's right. We can't do anything, we just need to be there.' Stuart agreed. Phil nodded but hated to agree with his nemesis.
'My only daughter getting married. I should be there to walk her down the aisle. Our feud has driven are children away.' Phil suddenly felt quite ashamed of himself.
'Truce mate?' He offered his hand to Stuart, who took it graciously.
'Truce.' He agreed. Sam sighed to herself. At last she thought. She looked at her watch and realised that they had been travelling for over an hour. Just at that point, Phil nudged her, 'Look up ahead.' Before them was the famous Gretna Green blacksmith. An ambulance was outside.
'Poor so an so, getting married and they fall ill half way through.' Stuart shook her head.
'Oh my God!! Stop the Taxi! Stop the Taxi now!!' The taxi pulled to an abrupt halt, and Sam jumped out of the taxi and ran towards the ambulance. Phil and Stuart quickly followed, when they saw what was going on. Sam barged straight past the paramedics, desperate to see what was going on.
'What's wrong? Tyler tell me what's wrong.' She shook him brutally.
'Sam. Stop it.' Phil ran onto the scene and tried to separate his wife from the terrified teen.
'Look at her.' She gestured towards the back of the ambulance. There was Angel, lying on a stretcher.
Stuart arrived just at this moment, and looked into the back of the ambulance.
'What have you done son? What have you done?' Stuart shook his head at Tyler unable to believe the mess his son had caused.
