Chapter 24: Say Goodnight
Three days later and Becca was feeling a lot better. She was finally well enough to go down and see her new born son. She stood gazing into his cot, tears running down her face.
"What's the matter honey?" asked a voice from behind her. She turned round to see Virgil.
"I just keep thinking about how close I came to losing him," she admitted.
"Yeah but he is ok and getting stronger every day," replied Virgil.
"I know but every time I close me eyes I see that car coming at us. It was aiming for us Virgil," she said as the tears continued to fall.
"It's ok honey," he said and pulled her into his arms. He sent a quick message down his watch to Scott. The boys had developed a series of codes for their watches and Virgil was sending the I need you but don't panic one.
Scott soon arrived on the ward and took in the scene. He approached them and Virgil smiled over Becca's shoulder at him. He gently turned her round and into Scott's arms. Scott pulled her close to him and rubbed her back gently. Virgil left them to talk.
"Are you ok baby?" he asked gently.
"No I'm scared," she admitted wiping the tears from her eyes.
"Scared of what?" he asked her as she looked up at him.
"Scared that we will still lose him and scared that these nightmares will never stop," she said looking down at the floor.
"Are you having nightmares about the crash?" he asked and she nodded but didn't look up.
"Baby look at me please?" he asked and she raised her head so he could see her beautiful eyes.
"We are not going to lose him. He is doing great and you will get over the nightmares I promise. Every time you get one I will be there to comfort you and help you through it ok."
"Yeah thanks. So I guess that means you are going to move into the roundhouse with me and this little guy then," she said smiling at him.
"Hell yeah. You are never getting rid of me," he said grinning. She giggled at him and he kissed her.
Maddie walked along to the nurses desk and smiled at the young nurse there.
"Hi Meg. How is Becca today?" she asked. The nurse looked up in shock.
"I thought you were with Becca," she said looking worried.
"No. Why, what's the matter?" asked Maddie feeling worried too.
"Amber said you were with Becca. So if you're here then who's in there?" asked Meg looking at the door.
"Call security now," said Maddie taking charge. She then activated the emergency beacon on her watch. It would call the family to her or at least all those close enough. She then peered through the window to see a young woman talking to Becca. Maddie could see that Becca was scared and she almost ran in.
"Security are on their way. I am so sorry Mrs Tracy. Will she be ok?" asked the nurse looking scared. Maddie felt sorry for her. It wasn't Meg's fault so she smiled at her.
"It's ok Meg it wasn't your fault," she said as Virgil and Scott ran through the door.
"What's the matter?" asked Scott breathlessly.
"Someone is with Becca and I would guess it is probably Chelsia. I don't know if she is armed but Becca looks scared," explained Maddie and saw a look of fury crossed with fear cross her brother in law's face. Her husband just looked angry.
"Let's end this once and for all," said Virgil and the approached the door cautiously and opened it. Chelsia didn't even notice.
"He is mine Becca and I know now that this is the only way I will get him," she said advancing on the bed. Becca knew she was in no condition to jump off the bed and fight Chelsia off.
"This won't make him love you Chelsia. He will hate you more," said Becca trying to reason with her.
"He will in time. Now shut up and let me finish this. It wont hurt much," she said pulling out a knife. Becca moved back on the bed in fear.
"Chelsia don't do this please," begged Becca.
"I have to. Scott is mine not yours," she said menacingly and moved forward.
"I can't let you do that Chelsia," said Scott walking into the room closely followed by Virgil and Maddie.
"You don't want her Scott. She is not right for you," said Chelsia turning away from Becca to face him. Becca breathed a sigh of relief on seeing her husband.
"You can't kill her Chelsia. I would never love you if you did that," he said moving closer.
"Would you love me if she was alive though," she asked glaring back at Becca.
"Yes," he replied.
"What," said Virgil and Maddie in shock. Becca just sat on the bed praying that Scott was lying to get the knife away.
"You love me?" said Chelsia walking closer to Becca ready to stab her if Scott was lying.
"Yes. I only married Becca because she was having my baby. It's you I want. So put the knife down and come here," he said gently. Chelsia gave Becca an evil smile and walked over to Scott. He pulled her into his arms and took the knife from her. He then handed it to Virgil.
"I'm sorry for this Chelsia," he said and allowed the hospital security to take her away. She was dragged off kicking and screaming.
"You're mine Scott Tracy. I will have you one day. You are dead Rebecca. He will never truly love you," she yelled.
Virgil shut the door blocking out the sound of her yells. Scott walked over to Becca and sat on the bed pulling her into his arms.
"It's all over now baby," he said soothingly.
"She hired the man who crashed into us. He died because of her jealousy," said Becca sadly.
"Don't think about it," said Scott.
"You didn't mean any of that did you?" she asked looking up into his deep blue eyes.
"No. I love and want you and no one else," he said and kissed her.
"Let's go see peanut," she said and he helped her up.
Two weeks later and Becca was on the island eating breakfast. Scott had gone on a rescue with his brothers and the others were in the lounge. Their baby had been moved to a hospital in Australia so that they could be nearer to their family. He had improved a lot and the Doctors had told his parents that if it continued he could go home in a couple of weeks. They were both happy about that as was the rest of the family. Especially Jeff as he had been allowed to hold his grandson for the first time yesterday.
Becca finished her breakfast and went to check on Lucie. She found her down by the pool looking fed up.
"Hey," she said walking over.
"You look so thin I hate you," she said grumpily.
"I know. I'm sorry. How do you feel?" she asked sitting down beside her.
"Heavy, fat and fed up," admitted Lucie.
"Sorry. Do you want anything?" she asked smiling at her.
"No ooh," she said clutching her stomach.
"Was that a contraction?" asked Becca grinning.
"Yeah I think so. I have been getting mild pains all day but that was the first big one," she said standing up.
"Oh my god. We should probably head to Sickbay," said Becca standing up as well.
"Yeah cos my water just broke," she said looking at the puddle on the floor.
"Ok lets go," said Becca and she helped Lucie to the sickbay.
Gordon had joined them in the sickbay now and had somehow ended up holding Lucie's hand. Her contractions were getting stronger now and she was missing John who was still out on the rescue.
"Where the hell is John?" she said angrily.
"Why don't I go and hurry him up," suggested Gordon as she gripped his hand tight during another contraction.
"Let go of my hand Gordon and Thunderbird 4 will have a new home in the middle of a volcano," she said. Gordon smiled at her nervously. Lucie was generally the calmest one so Gordon knew she must be in real pain.
"I will go investigate for you honey," said Becca.
"Thanks and you tell John that if he does not get his ass here soon. That tin can in the sky he loves so much is going to get recycled permanently," said Lucie with an evil glare. Becca nodded and ran out of the room to the lounge.
"How is she?" asked Jeff.
"Really needing John," said Becca smiling. Jeff caught on to what she was getting at and smiled. His wife had been the same when she was in labour.
"Well they are on their way home now so he won't be long now," said Jeff.
"Good. Does he know yet?"
"No I didn't want to worry him.""Cool. I better get back. I think Gordon needs me," she said laughing and ran off.
"Where the hell is he. I swear to god that if he doesn't hurry up. The part of his anatomy that did this will never do it again," yelled Lucie as she was hit with another contraction.
"He will be here honey and you are doing great," soothed Maddie. Becca was wiping her forehead and Gordon was still holding her hand well she was gripping his anyway.
"Just keep breathing with Gordo for me. You are nearly ten centimetres," added Maddie handing Becca a glass of water for Lucie. Lucie followed Gordon's breathing and made it through another contraction.
"Where is he Becca?" she asked.
"I don't know honey. Why don't I go find out," she replied mopping her brow once more.
"I want to speak to him," she said angrily.
"Honey you just concentrate on having this baby. I will do it and tell him whatever you want," replied Becca
"Tell him that if his ass is not beside this bed in the next ten minutes. I'm going to put Thunderbird 3 up it."
"Uh ok anything else?"
"Yeah tell him if that isn't incentive enough. I will shove Thunderbird 2 up there after it."
"Sure. I will pass it on," said Becca and she left the room and headed up to the lounge. Jeff had taken her place beside Lucie and he seemed to know exactly the right thing to say.
"Base to Thunderbird 2."
"Go ahead base," replied Virgil surprised to hear his sister in law's voice.
"What is your ETA Virgil?" she asked.
"Ten minutes why?" asked Virgil.
"Lucie is in labour and would really like John by her side," said Becca not mentioning just how much Lucie would like to see him.
"What oh my god is she ok?" asked John appearing on the screen behind Virgil.
"She is doing great. Just anxious to have her husband by her side holding her hand," said Becca grinning.
"Get moving Virge. I can't miss this as well," begged John.
"FAB," replied Virgil and he pushed Thunderbird 2 faster.
"I will see you in sick bay," replied Becca and she then called the hospital to check on her baby. He was fast asleep still but had fed well. As she strolled back to sickbay she was grabbed from behind by her husband.
"Hey beautiful. Am I an Uncle yet?" he asked spinning her around.
"Nope," she replied and he kissed her.
"Miss me by any chance?" she asked grinning.
"Uh huh," he replied kissing her neck.
"If I wasn't soon to be an Uncle I would be dragging you to our room right now," he added as he kissed his way back up to her mouth.
"Later," she replied huskily and taking his hand, dragged him to the sickbay.
After what seemed like an eternity to John, Virgil landed Thunderbird 2. He leapt out and raced to the sickbay. He found his dad sitting outside with Gordon and Scott. Now that John was on his way Lucie had allowed Gordon to leave. Becca came out as John ran in.
"How is she?" he asked panting.
"Well she has already threatened the lives of Thunderbirds 2,3,4 and 5. So I would suggest getting your butt in there now," replied Gordon. John smiled at him and entered the room.
"What did she threaten to do to Thunderbird 2?" asked Virgil concerned about the safety of his beloved craft.
"You don't want to know trust me," replied Becca grinning at Gordon.
"Why didn't she threaten Thunderbird 1?" asked Scott wondering why his craft had gotten off so lightly.
"Oh that was next and given the creative ideas she had for the others I thinking it probably wouldn't be a good thing. Be grateful John has arrived," said Becca.
"Are you going back in?" asked Scott.
"No we are going to let them enjoy this moment together," replied Becca as Virgil strolled in.
A little later and the doors opened. John came strolling out with something in his arms. Everyone leapt up when they realized what it was. Gordon walked over and slapped him on the back.
"Congratulations bro but I bet your annoyed though that Scott took away the moment of presenting dad with his first grandchild," he said grinning.
"Nope," replied John with a bigger grin. Jeff walked over to meet his new grandchild.
"Dad would you like to hold your granddaughter?" asked John grinning as shock crossed everyone's faces.
"My granddaughter?" questioned Jeff and John nodded before handing her to her grandpa. Everyone else hugged John.
"How's Lucie?" asked Becca hugging John.
"Great," he replied still grinning proudly.
"Can I go in and see her?" she asked. He nodded and smiled.
Becca walked in and over to Lucie.
"Hey well done. She is beautiful," she said hugging her friend and sister.
"Thanks," replied Lucie smiling.
"How do you feel?"
"Exhausted but I wanted to thank you for staying here with me. I know you probably wanted to be with your little guy so I'm sorry I kept you away from him," she said looking a little sad.
"Don't be. He was doing fine when I called earlier," she said smiling.
"So does he have a name yet then?" asked Maddie walking over.
"I think so. I just need to see what Scott thinks to it. What about that gorgeous little girl?"
"Yeah she has a name but I will let John tell you when he comes back in.
John and the others walked in and they all hugged Lucie.
"So what is my beautiful granddaughter's name then?" asked Jeff who had handed her to her cool Uncle Gordon.
"It's Isabelle Lucy Tracy," replied John sitting on the bed beside his wife. Gordon looked down at the little bundle in his arms.
"Hey there Isabelle Lucy," he said and she opened her eyes to look at him.
"I think she likes it," he replied grinning at his niece. Alan was watching via video link from Thunderbird 5.
"Why Isabelle?" he asked. John looked over at his father to see if he had realized the reason for the name and his father smiled back.
"It was our Aunt's name," replied John taking Lucie's hand.
"Our Aunt?" questioned Gordon. He didn't think they had any Aunts or Uncles.
"Yes she was your mother's sister. She died not long after John was born," replied Jeff.
"Wow," said Scott.
"Yeah Grandma told me that Aunt Isabelle helped mom and dad out a lot when they were first dating. Apparently her parents didn't really like dad so Aunt Isabelle used to cover for them a lot," explained John.
"Yeah she did. You guys would have liked her a lot. Your mom always said that if one of you had been a girl you would have been named after her," added Jeff. It was still hard to talk about his wife but he knew he had to. It wasn't fair on the boys to never mention her.
"Yeah so we thought it would be the perfect name for our little girl as it thanks to Aunt Isabelle that we are all here to do this," said John.
"Good choice son," said Jeff and he hugged his son and daughter in law.
"So what about your little guy Scott. Does he have a name yet?" asked his father.
"Possibly but we need to talk about it first and we really should get back to the hospital honey," said Becca walking over to him.
"Ok. We will see you all later. She is beautiful bro congratulations," said Scott and they left the room.
Three weeks later. Scott and Becca had gone to pick up their baby boy. He was finally coming home and the whole family was excited. Because it was such a big occasion Jeff had allowed Alan to come down from Thunderbird 5 for the day. They heard a plane land and waited excitedly for Scott and Becca to make it to the lounge.
Scott walked in holding his son in his arms with Becca beside him. Jeff felt the tears come to his eyes it was a wonderful sight. Lucie was first to approach the couple.
"Oh he is so gorgeous," she gushed. Lucie was the only one who hadn't seen him yet as she had been too pregnant to travel.
"I can't believe I have two beautiful great grandchildren," added Mrs Tracy. She had been away when Isabelle was born but had flown back straight after. John bought Izzy over to meet her cousin.
"Izzy this is your cousin. I can't tell you his name because he doesn't have one yet," he said smiling.
"Can I have a cuddle?" asked Virgil. Although it was hard not to feel a little jealous he was glad that Scott and Becca had finally been able to bring their son home.
"Of course you can," said Scott and he walked over to his younger brother. Scott gently placed his son in Virgil's arms. Virgil looked down at his nephew and smiled. The little boy opened his bright blue eyes and stared up at him.
"Hi there little guy. I'm your Uncle Virgil," he said softly. The boy continued to stare at him before grabbing his finger. Everyone in the room smiled at the beautiful scene before them. Maddie felt tears prick her eyes but she was still smiling.
"Well I think this little guy has found his favourite Uncle," said Becca grinning. Virgil looked up at her and smiled.
"You really do need to give him a name though sweeties," said their Grandma.
"He has a name," said Scott and he wrapped his arm around Becca.
"Well what is it then?" asked Alan.
"His name is Joshua Jefferson Tracy," said Scott and he grinned at his dad. Jeff was touched that his son had used his name.
"Yeah we decided to name him after his two granddads but to keep it simple we have shortened it to JJ," added Becca.
"I think it is perfect," said Jeff and he hugged them both.
"Well Izzy meet your cousin JJ," said John sitting down beside Virgil. Both babies looked at each other and then went back to sleep. Everyone laughed.
A couple of hours later and Becca sat in the lounge alone. She kept staring at two of the photos on Jeff's desk. They were wedding photos from Virgil and John's wedding days. Becca kept thinking about the fact that there would never be on of their day on their. Becca had nothing to remember her day by and it made her a little sad. It hadn't been the best day of her life but it was the only wedding day she would ever have. Maddie came in and caught her staring.
"I guess you guys don't have one of your day," she said sitting down beside her.
"No and it kind of makes me sad. One day JJ might ask about it and what am I going to tell him. Mommy and Daddy got married in a dingy registry office with no family there because it was the right thing."
"Do you regret it?"
"No I married the man I love. I just wish that I," she paused unsure how to end her sentence.
"Had a day to remember," said Maddie knowing what she was trying to say.
"Yeah," said Becca sadly and Maddie gave her a hug.
Scott turned away from the door. He hadn't meant to eavesdrop but he didn't want to disturb. He felt really down now that he hadn't been able to give Becca the day she had always wanted. He walked dejectedly away from the lounge. Another person stood in the shadows watching. He grinned and snuck off in the opposite direction, a brilliant idea forming in his mind.
