Thanks for the reviews. In answer to your question Katzen, I do have a story lined up for Gordon as well.
Chapter 13: Time to Go Home
Scott awoke and wondered for a second if he had dreamt last night. He looked over and saw he was alone in the bed. As he got up and dressed, he realized he could hear voices from the kitchen. He walked silently to the door and realized it was Becca and Kallie.
"So you excited about tomorrow then?" asked Becca.
"Yeah. A little nervous though," replied Kallie and Scott guessed they were talking about the wedding.
"You will be fine. You and Cole are meant to be together."
"So what happened with you and Scott last night then?"
"Nothing we just talked," replied Becca and Scott saw her look away blushing slightly. He grinned.
"Uh huh. So why has your bed not been slept in then?"
"Because I made it already."
"Becca you never make your bed before noon. I used to live here remember. So what really happened?"
"Nothing. We just talked."
"Sure you did. Why don't I go and ask Scott what happened," said Becca moving towards the door Scott was hiding behind. He stepped back slightly.
"No don't wake him. Ok we slept together. Happy now."
"Yes so how was it?"
"Kallie. I am not giving you details," said Becca slamming a cup down on the counter.
"Well it must have been pretty good seen as you can't keep the smile off your face."
"Ok it was amazing. After what happened, I never thought I would ever be able to again. But it was perfect," said Becca sitting down. Scott smiled again. He had found it pretty great too.
"So does this mean you two are getting back together then?"
"I don't know Kallie."
"Look anyone can see that last night was good for you. I can't remember the last time I saw you so happy."
"Yeah. I began to think I would never find anyone that could make me enjoy that side of things again."
"Well if he has done that. Don't let him get away. I know why you two broke up the first time round but this time you have nothing stopping you."
"I guess not. I think I need to talk to Scott. He may not feel the same. Last night may have just been a night only to him."
"I don't think so. I saw the way he was looking at you yesterday. He obviously still cares for you. So get on with it before someone else does."
Scott decided it was time to enter the conversation. He knew he shouldn't have been listening at the door but he had learnt a fair bit.
"Before someone else does what?" asked Scott pretending to have only caught the end of the conversation.
"This," said Becca grinning and she walked over to him. She placed her arms round his neck and pulled him to her for a deep and passionate kiss. He wrapped his arms around her pulling her closer to him.
"That's my girl," said Kallie laughing. They pulled away slightly and turned to look at Kallie.
"Goodbye Kallie," said Becca grinning.
"Bye guys have fun. I will see you both tomorrow right?"
"You sure will," replied Scott and he turned back to Becca. Kallie grinned at them and walked to the door.
"And people say my mind is always in the gutter," she said causing Becca and Scott to laugh. She left them to it.
Back on the island the others were all wondering how Scott was getting on. What they had heard over the radio had stunned them. None of them had realized that Scott's blame went so far back. Virgil had been the most upset by it. He had not realized that Scott had been blaming himself about the Sentinel and it had really hurt to learn Scott had kept that from him. He sat at the piano playing a sad tune.
The others were down at the pool when they heard the melancholy notes float down to them. Gordon looked over at John with a worried expression.
"Should we go talk to him?" asked Gordon.
"Where is Maddie?"
"Uh sick bay I think. Kyrano fell and hurt his shoulder so she was bandaging it up. Maybe we should get her to talk to him," replied Gordon climbing out of the pool.
"Nah. I will go and have a word. I was going to check on Luce anyway," said John and he headed inside. He walked over to the piano and tapped Virgil on the shoulder. His younger brother looked up and John could see the pain in his eyes.
"You ok bro?" he asked already knowing the answer.
"Not really. How did we not notice that Scott was so depressed," said Virgil turning to face John.
"He is an expert at keeping his feelings in Virge."
"I know but I thought he would at least have told me. I thought we could talk about everything," said Virgil and he looked down at the floor. John placed his arm round him. He knew how close Virgil and Scott were. They did seem to know everything about each other.
"Knowing Scott he probably didn't want to worry you. He likes to be the one worrying not the other way round," said John trying to calm his brother. He felt closer to Virgil now they were both married especially since Lucie had been on Thunderbird 5. They would often sit and chat.
"Yeah you're right. He hates being the one with the problem," said Virgil grinning. John always knew the right words to say.
"I know. Things will work out Virge. We know Scott has finally started talking about things which is great."
"Yeah it is. Thanks John. Why are you so good at this?"
"My supreme intelligence maybe. Or maybe it's just something I got off mom," he said moving away from Virgil slightly. John had always been closest to their mom and he didn't mention her much.
"Yeah I reckon you did. It's ok to talk about her now and then John," said Virgil swapping roles. It was his turn to comfort John now. Neither one had noticed Jeff was at the desk. He stayed quiet listening.
"Not with dad it isn't," replied John quietly.
"No but you can always talk with me about her John. I wont get mad maybe a little sad but I will still listen."
"Thanks Virge. I may take you up on that. I talk to Lucie about her but it would be great to talk with someone who actually knew her."
"Anytime bro," said Virgil. He turned back to the piano knowing John didn't want to talk just yet. John turned and then spotted his father.
"Uh hi dad. I didn't notice you sitting there," said John worried he was about to get a lecture.
"Huh sorry I was miles away John. Did you say something," replied his father pretending he hadn't heard their conversation.
"I was just going to ask if I could check on Lucie," he said breathing a sigh of relief.
"Of course you can son," replied Jeff. He had some real thinking to do about everything he had learned the last couple of days so he left John and Lucie to talk.
The next day passed by without incident for Scott and Becca and the others back on the island. Scott had been really enjoying the chance to spend some time with Becca without any interruptions. They were now on their way to Kallie and Cole's wedding reception. Scott couldn't keep his eyes off Becca.
"Have I told you tonight how amazing you look?" he asked as they pulled into the parking lot.
"Yeah you may have mentioned it," replied Becca grinning. Scott was more like his old self again. She knew he still had some issues to deal with but that would take time and would require him opening up to his family. He looked really fine tonight in his tuxedo. They climbed out of the car and walked into the hall. It was packed but they soon spotted Kallie and approached her.
"You look stunning," said Becca hugging her best friend.
"Thanks. I can't believe I am married," replied Kallie smiling at them both.
"Glad you could make it Scott," she said.
"It's good to be here and you do look beautiful," he said.
They sat down and chatted with the bride and groom for a while. Kallie and Cole then got up for their first dance and were soon joined on the dance floor by other guests.
"Would you like to dance Miss Carter?" asked Scott doing a bad impression of Parker.
"Why thank you Mr Tracy," she replied in a fake American accent and stood up.
Scott could dance due to his grandmother forcing him and his brothers to learn. John had always been the best at it but Scott wasn't bad. Becca laid her head on his shoulder and moved closer into his body. It felt so right being in his arms and she knew she didn't ever want to lose him again. She had been heartbroken when they had broken up but it really was for the best at the time. Scott had been accepted into the Air Force and Becca had been accepted on a paramedic's course in England. She could have trained in America but she wanted the chance to study in her mother's native country. They had both agreed that a long distance relationship would be too hard and neither wanted the other to give up their dream so they split up. Becca had never truly gotten over Scott and she probably never would. She snuggled in a little closer hoping they would never part again. Scott felt her move closer so he kissed the top of her head. He couldn't believe how easily they had reconnected. He had a feeling she was the one he was meant to be with. Becca looked up at him and smiled. He lowered his head and kissed her gently.
Jeff heard the phone ringing and strolled into the lounge. They had just had breakfast and the others were all still cleaning up. He wondered who it was on the phone.
"Tracy Residence," he said.
"Hi dad," said a happy voice.
"Scott. It's good to hear from you. How are you son?" he asked pleased to hear from his eldest son. Becca had told him that Scott was on the mend but he still worried.
"I'm doing a lot better. Thanks to Becca. I'm sorry I put you guys through this. I should have been more open with you all."
"It's ok son. We are just glad that you are getting better."
"I am. I will be flying home tomorrow afternoon."
"Are you sure you are ready to come back son?" asked Jeff worried that Scott was trying to rush through things.
"Yes dad plus I think John would like Lucie home from Thunderbird 5."
"How did you know she was up there?" asked Jeff they had kept that from Scott so he didn't change his mind.
"Come on dad. You and I both know John can't lie."
"That's true. So what have you got planned for the rest of the evening then?"
"Well Becca has had to go into work so I'm meeting her down the pub in an hour or so."
"Well have fun son. I am looking forward to having you home. I love you son."
"I love you too dad. Tell the others the same and I will see you all tomorrow."
"Bye son," said Jeff and he hung up the phone. As he turned round, he saw the rest of his family had arrived to find out who was on the phone.
"That was Scott. He will be home tomorrow and he sends his love to you all," explained Jeff and saw all the faces break into smiles.
Becca had finally finished organising the paperwork for tomorrow's inspection. She seemed to be the only one in the office who had the ability to understand it all. She was desperate to go and meet Scott. He was flying home tomorrow and she would really miss him. He had asked her to go with him but she wanted him to spend a little time with his family first. He had reluctantly agreed. Suddenly her mobile rang. She wondered if it was Scott but didn't recognise the number.
"Hello," she said.
"Hi Becca its Chelsia. How are you," said the voice on the other end. Becca sighed before answering.
"Oh hi. Yeah I'm great how are you?"
"Not too bad but I really need your help. Could you come over to my apartment please?"
"Uh. Why?" asked Becca. She wasn't exactly friends with the girl and didn't really want to see her.
"I can't explain over the phone. Please Becca. I really need your help."
"Oh ok then. Are you still on Middleton Avenue?"
"Yes. I'm in Bedingfield House apartment no 4."
"Ok. I will head right over," said Becca hanging up. Although she didn't like the girl, she couldn't just ignore her desperate plea. She headed to her car sending Scott a quick text to say she would be there soon. She didn't get a reply.
As she pulled up outside Bedingfield House, a sense of foreboding came over her. Something wasn't right but she didn't know what though. The door was unlocked which worried her more but she entered the apartment. It was freakishly neat and organised. She heard a sound from the bedroom and approached the door. She knocked quietly.
"Come in," said Chelsia.
Becca opened the door and found Chelsia standing beside the bed in a silk nightgown.
"Hello Becca," she said.
Becca was about to reply when she saw who was on the bed. It was Scott. He was fast asleep and under the sheets. It was pretty obvious what had happened and Becca was horrified. Scott had cheated on her.
"Oh my god," she said backing to the door and missing the evil smile on Chelsia's face. How could he do this to her?
Authors Note: You didn't really think I was going to end it already did you sevin800. I haven't finished torturing Scott yet. So how will Becca react to the news? Can Scott win her back? What will his family say when they learn he has been a naughty boy?
