6 year old Troy was in the back garden playing football with Jack. Connie was at work and Gabriella was playing inside. Troy kicked the ball hard and it went into the goal.
"GOAL!" Shouted Jack as he lifted Troy up.
"DADDY! TROY!" Gabriella screamed as she ran outside to them.
Jack put Troy down and got down to Gabriella. "What's up princess?"
"Look!" She opened her hand and Jack saw a tooth in her hand.
"Ella open your
mouth." Gabriella did as she was told. Jack saw that one of her
front teeth were missing. "Baby you tooth fell out."
"Is
that bad?" Gasped Gabriella.
Jack laughed. "No sweetie. You going to get a new tooth and if you put that tooth under your pillow the Tooth Fairy will come."
Gabriella gave him a confused look. "Tooth Fairy?"
"Yeah. She'll come and take your tooth and give you money."
Gabriella still looked confused. Jack laughed and kissed her on the forehead. Gabriella took Troys hand and they walked back inside.
Later that night Jack and Connie were in the sitting in the sittingroom while Troy and Gabriella were in bed.
"Can I ask you somthing Jack?" Asked Connie.
"Sure. What is it?"
"Have you ever thought about how you tell Gabriella about her real mother?"
Jack sighed. "No, I dont know. Gabriella is starting to notice that were not like any other family."
Connie looked at him confused. "What do mean?"
"Take Robbie and the twins for example. The twins get their looks from Robbie. Gabriella looks nothing like me or Troy."
"Look Jack I didn't ask to get you worried. Gabriella is still only 6. So she might not even ask now."
Jack sighed "But she's gonna find out someday."
"And I'm gonna help you both when she does find out."
Jack smiled at Connie. He leaned in and kissed her.
Meanwhile upstairs Gabriella slowly woke Troy up from his sleep.
"Whats wrong Gabby?" He asked.
"Can I sleep with you?" She asked while holding her pink banket. "I'm scared."
Troy moved over and let Gabriella climb in beside him.
"So what are you scared of?" Asked Troy.
"The tooth fairy dad was talking about." Sighed Gabriella. "I don't feel safe in my room."
Troy put his arm around her. "I'll look after you."
The Next morning Jack went into Troy's room to see both Troy and Gabriella asleep.
"Hey Gabriella." Jack watched as the small girl opened her eyes and looked at him. "Look what the tooth fairy left you."
Gabriella up and Jack handed her $5. Gabriella turned around and shook Troy.
"Troy look at what the tooth fairy left me." Troy looked at her and smiled.
Jack helped the kids get ready and drove them to school when they got there Gabriella ran over to Ashley who was sitting at her desk colouring.
"Ashley look!" Gabriella opened her mouth to she show Ashley her missing tooth.
"Gabby where's you tooth?" Gasped Ashley.
"It's gone the tooth fairy took it." Smiled Gabriella.
"Who?"
"If your tooth falls out the tooth fairy comes and takes you tooth. Then she gives you money."
Ashley's eyes widened.
"Wow I want to tooth fairy to come to me."
Jack smiled
at the girls. He drove back to the house.
At 1 o'clock Connie came over.
"So was Ella happy with her $5?"
Jack smiled and nodded.
"You know Jack. I promise I will be here for you Gabriella when you decide to tell her about her mom."
Jack smiled. "Thank you Connie and I have something to ask you. I know this isn't the most romantic moment but anyway, Connie I've known you for years now and you the most amazing person."
Jack took a box out of his pocket and got down on one knee.
"Connie will you marry me?"
Tears were now falling from Connie's eyes. "Yes Jack, I'll marry you."
Jack smiled and spined Connie around. They both leaned in and kissed.
