Thanks for the reviews. Sorry for the delay again. My laptop is still playing up.

Chapter 20: Listen to Your Heart.

An hour had passed since Becca raced out of the room. Jeff still had no idea where she had gone or what her great idea was. He had thought he had seen Scott's eyes flicker after Becca left but he had probably imagined it. The others all soon joined him, apart from Becca and Maddie who had disappeared too.

"Any idea where they are dad?" asked Virgil. Maddie had received a call from Becca and ran off.

"No son. Becca just said she had an idea that might wake up Scott," he replied. At the mention of her name, Scott's eyes flickered again but no one noticed.

The door opened and Becca and Maddie came in grinning.

"So you think it will work then?" asked Maddie to Becca.

"It can't hurt to try," replied Becca and they smiled at the others.

"What can't hurt?" asked Gordon.

"Well we have all been brainstorming ways to wake Scott up," said Becca.

"What you mean like my great idea about Gordon not playing pranks," interrupted Alan.

"Yeah well I had another idea although it does concern Gordon."

"It does?" asked Gordon confused.

"Uh huh. See I thought that Scott might wake up if I told him that if he doesn't then Gordon would be the one giving his son advice about girls when he is older. Meaning that his son could end up a Casanova like his Uncle Gordon," she explained grinning as it slowly dawned on the other what she was saying.

"You're having a boy?" asked Jeff. Becca grinned and nodded.

"Oh wow," said Grandma and she hugged Becca. Becca looked over her shoulder at Scott and saw his eyes flicker.

"Scott," she said approaching the bed and taking his hand. Scott managed to open his eyes or at least he thought he had but he couldn't see anything. He could hear all their voices, he just couldn't see them and it was scary. He felt a hand grip his a little tighter and then a soft voice spoke to him.

"It's ok Scott. Your vision was affected when you were injured but it is just temporary. It will come back in a few days."

"Becca."

"Yeah it's me. How do you feel?" she asked as his head turned towards her.

"OK I guess. My head hurts and my arm does too," he replied.

"I'm not surprised your arm hurts bro. You did a real number on it," said Virgil taking his other hand. Scott had no trouble telling it was him.

"Thanks for saving me Virge."

"Well actually it was Alan who found you," admitted Virgil.

"Yeah but you were the one who got him breathing again," added Alan.

"No need to fight over him. He isn't that special," joked Gordon. Scott had to smile at his younger brother. He always knew how to make him laugh.

"Are we really having a little boy?" he asked turning to Becca. He knew where she was because she was still holding his hand.

"Yeah I had a scan a while ago to confirm it," she replied taking his hand and placing it on her bump as the baby kicked happily underneath it.

"I think we have a soccer player in our midst," commented Becca.

"Looks like Uncle Virgil will be teaching you to play that game. Your daddy was always rubbish at it," said Virgil grinning.

"Yeah right Uncle Virgil," retorted Scott. Becca smiled at them both and glanced over at Maddie who gave her a knowing look. They had both been worried that Scott would be angry and depressed when he woke up but he was ok at the moment. Dr Fuller came strolling into the room.

"Hello Mr Tracy. It's good to see you awake."

"It's good to be awake and please call me Scott."

"Ok Scott. Are you in much pain at the moment?"

"Not really. My head hurts a fair bit though."

"That's to be expected. What about your vision. Can you see anything at all?"

"Just the odd shadow now and then."

"Well that's a good sign."

"When can I go home?"

"Scott. You have only just woken up," moaned his grandma. Although she had been waiting for that question to arise.

"Well I want to keep you in for a couple of days to let you ribs heal. You did break five of them and you will need to see a physio for your arm. Therefore, I would say providing there are no further problems. You can leave on Friday," answered the Doctor and Scott smiled again. He couldn't wait to get home. He hated hospitals and seemed to have spent the last few months going in and out of them. The others were all glad he was going home soon too.

Friday had now arrived and Scott was desperate to go home. He was sitting with Gordon and Virgil waiting for the physio. He had one last appointment with her so she could show his brothers the exercises he needed to do to help his arm heal. The door opened and a beautiful brunette walked in.

"Hi Scott how are we today?" she asked smiling at him.

"You didn't tell me she was so pretty," whispered Gordon.

"Uh can't see remember," he whispered back and then smiled at the woman.

"I'm good thanks. How are you?"

"Fine. So these must be the ones I am to teach your exercises too."

"Yep. This is Virgil and Gordon my brothers," he introduced and they both stepped forward.

"Hi there. I'm Gordon," he said taking her hand.

"I'm Talli and I know who you are. I work for Dominic Moore," she replied smiling at him.

"How is the old guy?"

"Great and still talking about his Olympic success story."

"He is?" asked Gordon. Dominic was the physio who helped Gordon after his accident.

"Uh huh. Every patient who passes through his doors learns all about you."

"Oh wow. That's a little embarrassing," said Gordon blushing slightly.

"Yeah right bro. You love the attention. I'm Virgil by the way," he said.

"Hi Virgil. It's nice to meet you too. Right well let's get on with this then.

She went through all the exercises with them making sure they knew how to help Scott with them back on the island. Gordon and Virgil picked it up quickly and they were soon done.

"Well that's about it Scott but I will need to see you in four weeks to make sure that arm is healing right," she said as they all stood up.

"Thanks Talli. I hope next time I will be able to actually see you," he replied shaking her hand.

"You will now take it easy ok."

"Yes Miss," he replied in a cheeky voice. She just laughed.

"Any questions or worries give me a call ok," she said handing him a business card.

"Hey do I get one of those?" asked Gordon with a grin.

"Do you think you might need a physio?" she asked knowing exactly what he was getting at.

"I might. My back can be a bit painful at times."

"Well in that case," she said and handed him a card too.

"Ok well I will leave you guys to it. See you in four weeks Scott," she said and left the room.

Scott and Virgil both turned to stare at Gordon. Well Scott turned to where Gordon's voice had come from.

"I can't believe you tried to hit on my physio," he said.

"If you could see her. You would have done the same thing. Right Virge."

"Yeah she was gorgeous," agreed Virgil. "Though not as beautiful as Maddie," he added as an afterthought.

"Good save," said John walking in with Maddie and Lucie. They had both heard Virgil's last comment.

"Not good enough," said Maddie as Virgil walked over and wrapped his arms around her. She shrugged him off.

"Ready to go Scott?" asked Lucie trying hard not to laugh at Virgil's failed attempts to win Maddie round who was glaring at him now.

"Yes I am. I take it Maddie is resisting Virgil's charms at the moment," he replied guessing what Lucie was laughing at.

"She sure is," said the woman in question wrapping her arm around him.

"I said you were more beautiful," complained Virgil.

"Yeah as an afterthought," she retorted over her shoulder.

"I know you are not mad really sis," said Scott quietly. Even being blind, he could still read the amusement in her voice.

"Nah just making him suffer a little," she replied then kissed his cheek.

"Let's get you home," said Lucie and they all walked out. Maddie stepped back and allowed Virgil to help Scott out of the hospital. John was the other side.

Scott had been back on the island a week now and was getting fed up not being able to see anything. He was constantly walking into things and was sick of people trying to help him. He kept snapping at everyone even his grandma but Virgil had taken the brunt of it. They were out by the pool and Virgil was helping Scott across to a lounger.

"I can walk this short distance you know. I'm not a complete invalid," said Scott angrily.

"I'm sorry I just didn't want you to fall in the pool," replied Virgil quietly. He loved his brother dearly but the constant griping was starting to get to him.

"For god's sake Virgil. I can manage to get around the pool on my own. I don't need a babysitter."

"I'm not babysitting you Scott. I'm just trying to help."

"Well stop it. I do not need your help. You are all driving me nuts. I wish you would all just leave me alone and let me deal with this myself," yelled Scott. Virgil stepped back. He could tell how angry his brother was and it really hurt him.

"You can't shut yourself away Scott it won't help. I know you're angry so talk to me."

"You wanna talk ok lets talk. How about we talk about the fact that it took you so long to find me and that maybe if you had found me sooner I wouldn't be blind right now."

Virgil had no idea what to say to that. It was exactly what he had been thinking and now he knew Scott felt the same. It was his fault Scott was blind. Virgil felt tears in his eyes and he choked back a sob.

"I'm so sorry Scott," he said and ran off.

Becca walked down to Scott wondering what was going on. She had just seen Virgil run past and he seemed really upset.

"Hey what's the matter with Virge?" she asked.

"How the hell should I know," said Scott grumpily.

"Well you were the last person he was talking to."

"What have you been spying on me or something?"

"No but I have just passed Virgil and you are the only other person out here."

"Way to go Sherlock."

"Hey calm down. I didn't come out here to have a go at you."

"No so why did you come out here then?"

"I wanted to talk to you but maybe now is not the best time to do that," she said.

"No it's probably not. So why don't you go back inside and play happy families with the others."

"What do you mean Scott?"

"Like this isn't what you wanted all along. Hell you and Chelsia probably cooked the whole thing up."

"Cooked what up. What are you talking about?" She was really confused now.

"This whole thing. Me cheating on you, the baby, the false marriage. It was all part of your master plan to get in the family and no doubt bleed us dry," he yelled and suddenly realized he could see shapes and colours. His vision was returning.

"You think I did all this on purpose. You really think I want to be married to a guy who doesn't love me. You really think I am that shallow and vindictive," she yelled back. She was overcome with dizziness and knew she needed to sit down or she would pass out. Scott could see her clearly now and he could see how pale she was. He forgot all about his anger and quickly pulled her over to a lounger and sat her down. Becca felt the tears rolling down her cheeks. She couldn't believe Scott thought that about her. He had broken her heart when he slept with Chelsia but she had gotten over it and now he had done it again. Scott moved to put his arms round her but she pulled away from him and stood up.

"I can't believe you think I'm capable of that," she sobbed and then ran off.

"Becca wait," yelled Scott but she didn't turn round. Just great, he had now upset two people on the island. How many more hearts could he break in one day? He decided to go for a run and let them both calm down a little.

Authors Note: Yay Scott can see again but has he lost Becca for good this time and can he patch things up with Virgil.
