Getting to know my father

Chapter 28

Previously

D's thought's: I only hope T's done nothing stupid like getting her pregnant, boy could that be a nightmare if that were to happen and if the press got a hold of it. I can just see the headlines now 'Lil Tommy Q gets backup dancer pregnant' that's all I need. I just hope that if there's anything going on that T is being responsible and God help them if the public find out. I would be forced to fire Liz and I really don't want to do that cos she's the best dancer we've got.

D was pulled out of his thought's by Chaz

Chaz: "Hey D you seen T around?"

D: "No I haven't. If you see him before me tell him I need to speak with him."

Chaz: "Ok. D is everything alright?"

D: "Yeah Chaz it's fine I just need to discuss some business with him that's all."

Chaz: "Ok."

Meanwhile with Liz ,Tommy & Kwest

Liz: "I can't believe I married 'Lil Tommy '"

Tommy: "Liz what did I say about that?"

Liz: "Sorry but it's just so unbelievable that's all"

Tommy: "Why?"

Liz: "Well I guess everybody thinks of 'Lil Tommy Q' as a player and so not the kind to settle down."

Tommy: "Well it's a good thing you married Tommy Douglas than isn't it?"

Liz: "I guess so."

Tommy: "Babe I need more than I guess so."

Liz: "I'll show you later when we're alone. I don't think Kwest you like to see the way I plan on showing you I'm glad I married you."

Kwest: "Guys you know that I can hear everything?"

Tommy: "Well then let's go somewhere private then."

Ring ring ring ring

Tommy: "Hello"

… "Where the hell are you?"

Tommy: "Chill D. I had something to do"

D: "What kind of things?"

Tommy: "Come on D does it really matter?"

D: "Of course it matters, especially if I'm gonna be reading about it tomorrow."

Tommy: "D it's nothing like that"

D: "Yeah well why won't you tell me?"

Tommy: "Look D I went out with Kwest and Liz."

D: "What did you do?"

Tommy: "Nothing I swear. I went with them to make sure nothing happened."

D: "Ok I believe you for now. But you three better get you're arse's back here now"

Tommy: "Ok D. Were on our way. By the way thanks for believing in me."

D: "Yeah well I know you T. so I know you did something and I will find out."

Tommy: "Ok D. well I gotta go I'll see you when we get back."

Liz: "What did D want?"

Tommy: "He wanted to know what I did"

Liz: "WHAT! Do you think he knows?"

Tommy: "Don't worry babe I told D that I went out with Kwest and You. I guess D thought I hit someone or something. But we have nothing to worry about."

Liz: "But we got married."

Tommy: "I know babe, but I used my real name. It's not like the priest is gonna go out and tell everyone that Tommy Douglas got married, cos who really wants to know about a nobody?"

Liz: "But"

Tommy: "No buts Liz. I've got it all worked out."

Liz: "Ok I believe you."

Tommy: "Good. Now we have to get going D wants us back a.s.a.p."

With that Tommy gave Liz a quick peck on the lips before they started to head back.

End Flashback

Tommy: "D what would happen if we decided to stay married?"

D: "Well considering you both used different names; we would need to get them altered so they would read Tommy Quincy and Jude Harrison."

Tommy: "But what about the press?"

D: "Well we would need to present you guys as a loving couple who managed to keep their marriage hidden for all these years."

Tommy: "What happens in regards to Sara?"

D: "Well I guess you; Nicole and Jude sit down with Sara and tell her. Cos if you don't you can bet on it that Georgia will."

Tommy: "Ok I'll deal with that but what happens if Jude and I don't want to stay married then what?"

D: "Well you guys get a divorce and inform everyone that you guys remain devoted parents even though you're no longer together and you'd appreciate it if they leave you alone so you can move on with your lives and ask that they leave your children alone cos they didn't ask to have Tom Quincy and Jude Harrison as their parents."

Tommy: "Wow. D you've really thought this through."

D: "Consider it damage control once this becomes public, cos we're gonna need it."

Tommy: "What about Jude being you're daughter?"

D: "Well I think we should leave that alone for now. I mean Georgia doesn't know and I don't want to put any more stress on Jude than necessary."

Tommy: "Ok I guess I should speak to Jude any idea where she's at?"

D: "T man of course I know where Jude's at."

Tommy: "Well are you gonna tell me?"

D: "I don't know T, maybe it's best I talk to her."

Tommy: "What's that meant to mean?"

D: "It means I want my little girl to fell safe when it comes out and I'm scared that if you tell her she'll run or worse she'll loose the baby."

Tommy: "Oh I never thought of that but D we really need to talk before the reunion."

D: "I know Tom. Just give me 24 hours, and then I'll set up a meeting for you two to talk."

Tommy: "Ok D. I'll wait just because she just came out of hospital and I don't want her to scare us again. No matter what anyone thinks I still care about her."

I know Tom and I have a feeling things will work out just the way you want. D said while putting his hand on Tom's shoulder.

Ring ring ring ring

D pulls out his cell looks at the caller id

D: "Tom I need to take this call. But we'll talk later."

Tommy: "Yeah ok. I need to speak to Nicole anyway to discuss telling Sara."

D: "Ok. Hopefully next time we speak I'll have some information regarding that."

D: "Hello?"

… "Mr. Mills?"

D: "Yes this is him."

… "Mr. Mills this is Dr. Dorian. I have the results of your DNA test."

D: "Thank you for doing this so quick."

Dr. Dorian: "Well you have Dr. Carter to thank. He seemed to think it was important to his patience's health that these results come through as fast as they can. So do you think that you and Miss. Harrison could stop by my office to discuss the results."

D: "Ok we'll be there as soon as we can."

Dr. Dorian: "Ok Mr. Mills I'll talk to you later."

D's thoughts: I hope the results prove Victoria right cos I don't think Jude can handle anymore disappoint in her life. Well I should call Jude and let her know.

D was pulled from his thoughts by someone knocking on his door

D: "Come in."

…… "Mr. Mills long time no see."

D: "Do you have the information I'm after?"

…… "Yes I do let's talk."

D: "Just tell me where does the father stand legally?"

… "Well you see it's kinda difficult put I'll explain it to you."

D: "Oh I see. There's no way around it they would need to adopt the child if the adoptive parents consent to it."

… "That's about it."

D: "Thanks for that I'll have to get back to you."

… "Ok I'll talk to you later

With Jude

Jude's thoughts: Man what am I meant to do all day by myself. I know I need to rest but I just can't. Add to that I just saw my daughter for the first time since she was born and boy does she look like her father. Man that child is gonna need some serious therapy I only hope she'll forgive me for making such a major mistake. I wonder what's going to happen with the reunion now that there's no surprises left for Georgia to announce well to Tommy any way. The media is gonna have a field day with this I hope D has a plan in place to deal with the fallout. Maybe I shouldn't have stayed at G Major then maybe all this could've been avoided. Who am I kidding Georgia would've tracked me down.

Jude was pulled from her thoughts by knocking at the door.

Jude: "Who's there?"

…… "It's Shay."

Jude: "Shay who's Shay?"

Shay: "Will you just let me in. I've forgotten my key."

Jude: "How do I know you're not some kind of serial killer or something?"

Shay: "You don't. Now open the door or D will fire you."

Jude: "You know D?"

Shay: "Yes he's my uncle, and I don't think that D would appreciate the help calling him D & that you wouldn't let his nephew in."

Jude: "Hold up I'm calling D."

Shay: "Be my guest."

Jude pulls out her cell and calls G Major.

… "Welcome to G Major this is Sadie. How can I help you?"

Jude: "Hi Sadie can you put me through to D."

Sadie: "Jude is that you?"

Jude: "Yes it is. Now could you please transfer me through."

Sadie: "Sorry D's busy and doesn't want to be disturbed."

Jude: "Oh ok. Can you get Tommy then."

Sadie: "What do I look like?"

Jude: "Sadie please I really need to speak to Tommy."

Sadie: "Fine I'll just get him."

Tommy: "Jude girl is everything ok?"

Jude: "Hi Tommy I need your help."

Tommy: "What is it? Something's wrong with the baby?"

Jude: "Calm down Tommy nothing's wrong with the baby."

Tommy: "Then what is it?"

Jude: "Well I'm at D's and there's someone outside by the name of Shay."

Tommy: "Shay as in little Shay Shay?"

Jude: "I don't know. He says he's D's nephew and wants me to open the door. I don't know what to do."

Tommy: "Don't do anything I'm on my way. I'll be there as soon as I can ok?"

Jude: "Thanks Tommy."

Tommy: "Don't worry about it."

Jude hangs up and shouts Shay if that's your name someone's on their way. You'll just have to stay out there until they get here.

Shay: "Like I have a choice."

10 minutes latter there was another knock on the door.

……"Jude it's Tommy can you open the door please?"

Jude: "Tommy?"

Tommy: "Yes Jude now open the door."

Jude: "Ok."

Tommy: "Hi. Are you ok?"

Jude: "I'm fine thanks for coming."

Tommy: "Anything for you girl."

Shay: "Out my way"

Tommy: "Jude I'd like you to meet Shay D's nephew."

Jude: "So he was telling the truth."

Shay: "Yeah I was. Anyway who are you and what are you doing here?"

Tommy: "Hey have some respect."

Jude: "It's ok Quincy I'm use to it."

Tommy: "No Jude it's not ok. Now say sorry Shay."

Shay: "Sorry."

Jude: "That's ok. I'm sorry for not believing you."

Shay: "That's ok. I'm if I scared you. I thought D would've informed you that I was staying here."

Tommy: "D's been busy I guess it slipped his mind."

Shay: "What do you mean busy?"

Jude: "Well I guess it all comes down to me and this pregnancy."

Shay: "Hold up you're pregnant?"

Jude: "Yes."

Shay: "What does this have to do with D?"

Jude: "Haven't you read the tabloids?"

Shay: "Nay I stay away from them."

Jude: "Oh"

Shay: "Will someone tell me what's going on?"

…… "Jude I'm back and I've got some news."

Jude: "We're in the lounge room D"

D: "We. Who's here?"

Shay: "Hey D"

D: "Shay whatcha doing here?"

Shay: "I told you I was visiting last month."

D: "Really? A lot has happened since then. I guess it slipped my mind. Tom what are doing here? I said I'd talk to Jude."

Jude: "Speak to me about what?"

Tommy: "I'm here cos Shay here forgot his key and Jude didn't know who he was."

D: "Then why didn't she call me?"

Jude: "I did but Sadie said you were busy so I asked to speak to Tommy."

D: "Oh I'm sorry"

Jude: "It's ok. Now what's the good news?"

D: "Well Dr. Dorian called with the results."

Shay: "Uncle is everything alright? You're not sick are you?"

D: "No Shay I'm not"

Shay: "Well what's with the results from that Dr.?"

Jude: "Ah well there my results."

Shay: "Then why would the Dr. be calling D? Oh gross tell me you're not the father of her baby?"

D, Tommy & Jude: "WHAT"
