A few hours later Alan and Tin Tin finally left the hospital for the second time that day the smile just wouldn't leave Alan's face.

"I like your brothers." Said Tin Tin smiling at him.

"I'm glad." Said Alan, "Though I thought one of them would kick me out the second they saw me or well I thought Scott definitely would."

"Why Scott?" Said Tin Tin frowning thinking of the kind natured Tracy brother she had spent the past few hours getting to know and wondering why he would be the one who would kick Alan out.

"A few months after the fight I got into a bit of trouble with some blokes and realised Scott lived nearby I went there and we had a fight I didn't stay long I run away again."

Tin Tin's frown deepened, "What was the fight about?"

"Nothing really." He lied.

Tin Tin shrugged knowing he was lying not really wanting to get into it anymore, "What do you think your parents will say when they see you tomorrow?" She asked.

Alan shrugged, "I don't really know, Virgil said they've missed me I'm sure mom has but dad I'm not so sure about he probably just forgot about me."

"I'm sure thats not true," Said Tin Tin reassuringly, "How would you feel if Jamie or Maria?" She asked questionably, "Suddenly left would you hate them?"

"No." Said Alan "and you know I'm not liking Maria that much doesn't seem right for a Tracy I still like Jamie though."

"Me too," Said Tin Tin frowning while she wrecked her brain thinking of names, "Chloe, Eleanor, Rose?" She asked saying the first three names that came to mind.

"Chloe, maybe... Eleanor and Rose perhaps not." He said.

"Lucy?" She asked "After your mum."

Alan shook his head "I don't like naming children after people who are still alive."

"Ok," Said Tin Tin "Pity I quite like that name."

"How about something less popular," Said Alan "Just so she does have about 5 other people with the same name in her class."

"Guess that rules Chloe out," Said Tin Tin shrugging "It was only a suggestion anyway."

"Faith?" Suggested Alan of the top of his head.

Tin Tin grinned, "I like Faith but I'd rather have it as a middle name."

Alan nodded "I agree Faith is a very possible middle name then."

Alan stopped the car as they reached their house, "How about we discuss this in the morning." He suggested yawning, "Its getting late."

Tin Tin nodded in agreement "Ok." She said wondering what the morning visit to the hospital would bring.

Next morning Alan woke up to the sound of the phone ringing. He rushed down the stairs and picked up the phone "Hello." He said tiredly looking at the clock, 11 o clock he must have slept in.

"Alan?" Asked Virgil.

"Hi Virgil whats going on?" Said Alan.

"Mum and dad just phoned they're about 10 minutes away from the hospital Amanda and Alex are getting out in about an hour so come by my house in about an hour and a half ok?"

"I don't know your address." Said Alan wrecking his brains trying to remember it.

"32 Shaftesbury Drive" Said Virgil, "Do you know where that is?"

"Yeah," Said Alan reminding himself to consult a road map before he left the house.

"You don't do you?" Said Virgil grinning.

"Not really, but I can find out." Answered Alan.

Virgil laughed, "Phone me if you get lost and knowing you, you probably will."

"Excuse me!" Said Alan jokingly, "Remember who is the world champion driver here."

"Ah but thats only in racing it doesn't involve finding your way around a massive city." Said Virgil.

Alan frowned "I'll find my way."

"I'm sure you will just don't take too long and always listen to Tin Tin women know these sort of things."

Alan snorted, "Whats that the wisdom of being married?"

"Yep," Said Virgil.

"Is Amanda holding you at gunpoint," Joked Alan.

"No anyway I've got to go the doctors come to check on Alex see you later."

"Bye," Said Alan.

Tin Tin came down the stairs, "Who was that?" She asked yawning.

"Virgil telling us to come over in about two hours, do you know where Shaftesbury Drive is?"

Tin Tin nodded "Yes why?" Thats Virgil's place Amanda is getting discharged in about an hour and mum and dad will be at his place so he wants us over there.

Tin Tin nodded again and wandered into the kitchen, "Do you want breakfast?" She called back to him."

"Its 10 past 11 its perhaps a bit late for breakfast." He commented.

Tin Tin stuck her head out of the kitched, "It is?" He said surprised.

"Yeah..." Said Alan "how about Brunch?"

"Sure" Said Tin Tin sitting down "But you're making it."

Alan frowned, "Why me?"

"Because I'm pregnant and I need to rest." She grinned.

Alan groaned Tin Tin knew she could use her pregnancy to get anything she wanted from him, "Fine." He said and starting making them some food.

Almost two hours later Alan pulled into Shaftesbury Drive and found Virgil's house he parked outside and worriedly.

Tin Tin pulled of her seatbelt and made to climb out of the car before realising that Alan hadn't moved at all, "Come on," She said reassuringly "Everything will be fine."

Alan smiled weakly at her before undoing his own seatbelt slowly and climbing out of the car. He saw a twitch in the curtains knowing it was probably Virgil making sure he had actually turned up.

As they walked up the drive the door opened and Gordon stuck his head out, "They're here." He said in a low voice.

Alan swallowed hard and nodded at Gordon who opened the door fully to allow them access, "Thanks." He muttered in a voice that sounded so unlike his own.

"Follow me." Said Gordon setting off down the hallway Alan stared at the paintings that hung on the wall wondering how many of them Virgil had painted.

"Uncle Alan!" He heard a voice squeal from the other end of the hallway. He just had enough time to register what had been said before his neice flung her small body at his chest.

"Hi Melody." He said weakly knowing for sure that his parents had heard her come to think of it he was sure the whole street had heard her.

"Alan?" He heard his mothers voice question from the door of what he assumed was the living room.

"Hi mom." He said still holding Melody although a little more tightly than he had been previously.

Lucille stood staring at him for a few moments and Melody jumped from Alan's arms without him noticing and bounded into the living room.

"I can't believe you're here" she said moving forward and giving her youngest son a hug.

Alan sighed in relief, "I'm sorry." He muttered.

"It doesn't matter." She said pulling back and staring at his face intently as though memorizing his features before turning to Tin Tin, "You must be Tin Tin." She said smiling politely.

"Hi Mrs Tracy." Said Tin Tin shyly she had always been a bit worried about meeting Alan's parents.

"Please call my Lucy." Said Lucy kindly.

"Ok." Said Tin Tin grinning.

"Is dad here?" Asked Alan glad that his mother and his fiancé appeared to like each other.

Lucy nodded, "In the living room he heard Melody too."

"Ok.." Said Alan slowly.

Tin Tin gave him a little nudge in the back to get him moving, "It'll be fine." She whispered.

Alan smiled at her before walking into the living room Melody grinned up at him from where she was sitting between Jeff and Amanda admiring baby Alex Danny was sitting on the floor looking really bored and Tori was asleep in her buggy.

Jeff didn't give any inclination that he had noticed his youngest son enter the room he merely continued to keep an eye on Danny who was staring around the room trying to find the next object he could use for his mischief making.

"Hi dad." Said Alan quietly worried sick that he would be regrcted.

Jeff finally looked up at Alan and after a few seconds of studying his sons worried face turned to look at his wife, he stood up and gave Alan a hug, "Welcome back." He said.

Alan, and the rest of the room it seemed, breathed a sigh of relief at Jeffs words and after the first few awkward moments they spent the rest of the afternoon talking and catching up.
