Thanks for the reviews. We are nearing the end now but there are a couple more shocks first.
Chapter 22: But I Do Love You.
Scott pulled up outside the house his wife had grown up in. It had been a long time since he had been here and he had to admit it was strange knowing that Joshua wouldn't be there. He got out of the car and approached the door. He paused for a second wondering if Becca would see him or if Amy would even let him in the door. He took a deep breath and knocked on the door.
A few seconds later, it opened and he saw Amy standing there.
"Hi Scott. I wondered how long it would be before you turned up," she said and stepped back allowing him to enter.
"Hi Mrs Carter," he said as she led him into the kitchen.
"How is she?" he asked nervously.
"Not good. She was really upset when she turned up but she is asleep now," replied Amy as she made them both a coffee.
"Did she tell you what happened?"
"Yes she did Scott.""I didn't mean a word of it. I know she didn't get pregnant to force me to marry her. Hell I practically forced her."
"I know you didn't mean it Scott and so does she. She has just had a lot to deal with lately and she needed some time to calm down," said Amy placing a cup in front of him.
"Do you think she will talk to me?"
"I think so. Why don't you see if she is awake yet? She is in her old room and I know you know where that is," she replied grinning. Scott headed up the stairs to find her.
Back on the island, the others were all having dinner. Each one was wondering how Scott was getting on.
"So do you think she will forgive him?" asked Alan.
"Yeah he may have to do some grovelling first though," replied Virgil.
"I just hope they both stop messing around and admit they love each other," added Maddie and everyone turned to look at her.
"Oh come on guys. It's blatantly obvious they love each other," she said.
"Maddie's right. I don't think they ever truly got over each other," agreed their grandmother.
"Well if they don't sort it out then I am locking them in Thunderbird1 till they do," said Alan with a grin.
"Why Thunderbird 1?" asked Virgil.
"Well you don't want them making up in Thunderbird 2 do you?" said Alan and Virgil suddenly got what he meant, as did the rest of the table.
"Alan Tracy. We will have none of that at the dinner table," lectured his grandma.
"Sorry Grandma," he said sheepishly and everyone went back to other topics of conversation.
Scott approached the door to Becca's old room. He suddenly got a flash back of trying to sneak in the window.
A teenage Scott climbed up the gutter and tapped on the window. The curtain opened and Becca's face appeared. She opened the window quietly.
"What are you doing here Scott?" she asked.
"I wanted to see you. Let me in it's freezing out here," he replied and she opened the window more so he could climb in. Straightaway he pulled her into his arms and kissed her.
"If dad finds you here. You will be in so much trouble," she said pulling away from him.
"I know but I just wanted to say I love you and goodnight."
"Now that you have done that. I think you had better leave," said a deep voice. Both turned to see Becca's father standing there.
"I'm sorry Mr Carter," said Scott blushing. His dad would kill him if he knew what he had done.
"Leave now and I will say no more about it."
"Yes sir. Goodnight Becca," said Scott and he left.
"Night Scott," yelled Becca.
Scott grinned at the memory. Joshua never did tell his father what he had done that night and Scott never tried it again. He opened the door gently not wanting to wake her if she was asleep. The room was empty though. As he moved across to the bathroom, he glanced out of the window and found her sitting on a bench.
Scott headed outside and over to the bench.
"Becca?" he said softly not wanting to alarm her. She looked up in surprise.
"What are you doing here Scott?"
"Saving my marriage," he replied sitting down beside her.
"Is there a marriage left to save?" she asked turning to stare at him.
"I hope so."
"Why didn't you tell me Scott?"
"Why didn't I tell you what?" he asked suddenly confused.
"Why didn't you tell me that Chelsia had drugged you? Why did you let me believe the worst about you?" she asked standing up and walking away from him slightly.
"Well when I found out I had been drugged I was angry at you for believing I could do that. You never even gave me a chance to explain," he said honestly.
"I saw you Scott," she said quietly moving closer to the pond.
"What?" he asked standing up. She spun back round to face him. The pain evident in her face.
"I was there Scott. I saw you with her. She called me and asked me to go round. Claimed she needed my help. You were asleep in her bed."
"No wonder you didn't want to hear me out."
"So why didn't you tell me later then?"
"I guess what with everything that had happened it kind of slipped my mind and a little part of me was scared you wouldn't believe me anyway," he said walking forward to stand beside her.
"I would have done Scott. I believed it when Virgil told me," she said looking deep into his eyes.
"I know that and I'm sorry I never told you either. I'm also sorry for what I said earlier. I didn't mean a word of it," he said turning away.
"I know and I understand. What I don't know is where we go from here," she said softly moving away from him. Scott swung round to her.
"What do you mean?" he asked suddenly worried he was about to lose her.
"Scott when I saw you in her bed it broke my heart. When you were injured, all those feelings I had buried resurfaced and I was prepared to forget what you had done. I even sat by your bedside and told you how I felt. Why do you think I have been trying so hard to make this marriage work?" she said and she could feel the tears welling in her eyes.
"I can vaguely recall someone talking to me but I had no idea what they were saying. Why didn't you tell me all that when I woke up?" he asked.
"There were always people there. I had actually planned to tell you this morning but I never got the chance."
"Because I refused to listen and then called you just about the worst thing I possibly could call you. No wonder you are so confused."
"Scott I'm not confused. I'm just sad that's all. I hoped that over time, you would fall for me but then you were injured and I knew I had to make the first move. What you said earlier just made me realize that there is no future for us. We will just keep going round in circles. You don't love me and I have to accept that," she said allowing a few tears to fall as she turned and walked away from him. Scott's heart lurched at her last comment. How could he have been so blind not to see what was right in front of him.
"But I do love you," he shouted and she stopped. Slowly she turned to face him.
"What did you say?" she asked quietly sure she must be hearing things.
"I said I love you. I always have and I always will," he said walking up to her. He could see that tears were pouring down her cheeks.
"Don't cry honey," he said and gathered her into his arms. Becca snuggled into his arms knowing this was exactly where she was meant to be.
"I really am sorry about what I said earlier. I don't want to lose you. You mean too much to me. I have just been an idiot these last few months. Please forgive me," he said and she raised her head to gaze into those deep blue eyes of his. She could see the honesty in them.
"I forgive you and I love you too. I will always love you Scott. You stole my heart the day you saved me from Shane. My Knight in a tuxedo," she said grinning at him.
"I think you stole my heart the day you saved Alan from those bullies."
"How has it taken us this long to admit how we really feel?" she asked.
"I have no idea but it doesn't matter now. All that matters is that I'm here with the woman I love who is going to make me a father and no one could be happier then me right now," he said kissing the top of her head.
"The first time you told me you loved me was here in this garden," said Becca suddenly remembering that night.
"Yeah we were dancing to Amazed and I suddenly knew I had to say it," he replied remembering how nervous he felt after saying it. In case, she didn't say it back.
"Every time I hear the song I remember that moment."
"Me too and the song is still right. I am still amazed by you," he said cheekily.
"That was so cheesy but so sweet too," she said giggling and he lowered his head to kiss her. Just as his lips brushed hers, the porch light came on.
"You two coming in for some dinner?" yelled Amy.
"Yeah now coming," yelled back Becca as Amy went in.
"We had better go in. Someone is getting hungry," she said patting her bump. Scott grinned and patted it too.
"Daddy just has to give mommy a kiss then he will feed you ok," he said and the baby kicked happily under his hand. Becca grinned at him. Scott raised her chin and kissed her lightly. Becca wound her arms round his neck and deepened the kiss. They finally pulled away and went inside. Amy grinned as they walked in holding hands.
"Looks like you two made up," she said as they sat down.
"Yeah we have. This looks great Mrs Carter," said Scott tucking in.
"Please call me Amy," she said smiling at them both. She knew her husband would be glad that his daughter was happy.
"Thanks for all this," said Becca and Amy knew she wasn't just referring to the food.
"It was nothing honey. When are you and Scott heading home?"
"Well if Scott is up to it. I thought we could leave tonight then you can still go on your trip tomorrow," said Becca looking at Scott who smiled at her.
"No problem," he added.
"Are you sure. I can always go to my mothers another time," said Amy.
"Stop trying to get out of it. She is worried about you and so am I."
"Ok and I will be fine. Before you leave though there are some things, your dad wanted you to have. They are by the door and there is a box there for you too Scott."
"Me wow. I will load them into the car once I have eaten. Are you sure you are up to another plane ride honey?" he asked turning to Becca.
"Yes I'm up to it. Stop fussing you," she said smiling.
"Hey I have six months of fussing to catch up on," he replied grinning back.
Scott transferred the plane to Auto Pilot and walked out of the cockpit to check on Becca. She was fast asleep in her seat and she looked really peaceful. Not like the last time they had been doing this. There were no tears on her face just a smile of contentment. He placed a blanket over her and gently kissed her cheek. He then went back to his seat to call home. It was late there and he didn't want to wake anyone up so he decided to try Gordon in Thunderbird 5 first.
"Go ahead Tracy 1," said Gordon in a serious voice that made Scott laugh.
"Hey bro. You having fun up there?" asked Scott.
"Tons. Lucie was right it is a great place to think up practical jokes."
"Sounds like we are in for some fun when you get dirt side."
"Hell yeah. This place could drive a man mad. I have a new found respect for John and Alan."
"I know what you mean. Are they all asleep at home?" asked Scott. He was hoping they could creep in and go straight to bed. He was exhausted and didn't want to answer twenty questions right now.
"Yes you are safe. So you and Becca ok now?"
"Yeah. We are great," replied Scott grinning and Gordon knew things were going to get better on the island.
"Cool well I will see you in a couple of weeks bro," said Gordon and he signed off.
Scott effortlessly landed the plane and snuck them both into the house. They sunk onto his bed and were asleep before they could even get undressed. One person had seen them sneak in though and had crept into the room covering them with a blanket. They snuck out and returned to their own room.
The next three weeks passed with hardly any rescues, which gave Becca and Scott a chance to spend some quality time together. The others were pleased that they had worked things out and the island was peaceful once more.
Scott grinned at Becca as they walked along the street hand in hand. They had come to New York for an appointment with the obstetrician and were now heading for some lunch before going home. They found a cosy little restaurant and had just ordered their food.
"I will be back in a minute. Your baby is taking great pleasure in kicking my bladder," she said standing up. She walked off to the bathroom. As she left, she saw Chelsia at the table talking to Scott. She walked up quietly behind them.
"Oh Scott it's been so long. How are you?"
"Fine till I saw you. What do you want Chelsia?" he asked angrily.
"Why you of course," she said sweetly.
"Sorry but I am married now," he said with an evil grin.
"What to whom?" she asked angrily.
"Your worst nightmare," said Becca walking over to Scott who grinned and wrapped his arm around her.
"You married Becca?" asked Chelsia incredulously. She thought she had split them up for good. She then noticed Becca's bump.
"Ah I see now. You married her because she was pregnant. You poor thing it must be awful being stuck in a loveless marriage," she said sympathetically. Becca glared at her.
"No way. I married the woman I love and have always loved," he said and Becca smiled at him.
"Sure you did. How do you know he will not cheat again Becca? He has already done it once. You know what they say once a cheater always a cheater," said Chelsia with an evil grin.
"Yeah but I am over that," she said casually and Scott felt relieved.
"Good for you," snarled Chelsia and then she turned to Scott.
"Here's my number. Call me if you ever want to be with a real woman," she said standing up.
"A real woman doesn't have to drug a guy to get him into bed and I can tell you now. I have no trouble in that area," said Becca with a grin as she sat down.
"Why don't you find someone else to torment Chelsia? There is no way I would choose you over her," said Scott and Chelsia stalked off fuming. Becca and Scott both looked at each other and laughed.
"Suddenly all I want to do is get you home," said Scott cheekily.
"Lead on Top Gun," she replied and they exited the restaurant.
They were soon in the car and on their way to the airport.
"I can't believe how brazen she was," said Becca.
"I know but you sure held your own. My brothers and I are going to have to watch out for you, Maddie and Lucie. You are all a force to be reckoned with when you are angry.
"You better believe it," she said giggling.
"I meant what I said Bex. There is no way I would pick you over her."
"I know you wouldn't Scott. Plus if you did I think Maddie and Lucie would tear you limb from limb."
"Yeah," said Scott.
Suddenly he saw the car heading straight at them.
"Oh my god," yelled Becca. Scott swerved the car to the side but the black sedan was still aiming for them.
"What the hell are they trying to do kill us," yelled Scott as he swerved to the other side of the road. The sedan followed his manoeuvre and Scott swore. The other driver was hell bent on hitting them. Scott swerved the car one last time and braced himself for impact. Becca shut her eyes and placed her arms over her bump as the sedan smashed into them. The force of the crash forced both cars off the road and down a small embankment where one careered into a tree and a large bush stopped the other. There was no movement from either car.
Authors Note: So who was in the other car? Which car hit the tree and did anyone make it out alive? Find out soon.
