It was the middle of the night and Jeff was working late as usual, he already had 4 cups of coffee and nearly all the food out of the fridge. So after about an hour he noticed lots of spelling errors and incomplete sentences that he didn't feel like fixing. So, he decided he had enough and went to bed.

"Grandpa?" A sleepy voice called quietly from the doorway. Jeff rolled over from the other side of his bed "Yes Eva, why don't you see your mum and dad?"

"I didn't want to wake them up, and I saw you walk back from your office,"

"What's wrong?"

Eva jumped onto the bed and crawled over to him, putting her head on his chest. "I can't sleep," the mid-teenage girl yawned.

"And why's that?" Eva shrugged her shoulders.

"I'll do my usual checks I used to do on you dad when he was your age."

Jeff checked her temperature, tickled her neck to make sure she hadn't lost her sense of humour then he tipped her head backwards and opened her mouth "Is there something wrong with your mouth?" Eva nodded. "Looks like someone is about to lose their last 2 front teeth," Jeff praised

Eva tried to escape her grandpas' arm, "Come on your not escaping this one, I heard about the incident with uncle John,"

"I don't want too!" She whined, trying to escape again.

"I'm sure your mum would be thankful I am doing this after how much pain she has seen your dad through."

Jeff took Eva down the corridor to where the bathroom was and sat her on the toilet seat, smiling at her not to worry.

"I know we only met last week, but you are the best granddaughter I've had yet, I haven't heard you say no to anything yet,"

"I'm your only one, grandpa," Eva laughed.

After Jeffs conversation comforting Eva, he picked up a cloth and got it wet, telling Eva that it may hurt a little. Eva shut her eyes and dropped her jaw, being a big girl thinking it wouldn't hurt and how much money she would get afterwards.

"One, two, three," Jeff counted before yanking the tooth out of its place. "Just one more honey, this one won't hurt as much I promise," he pulled out the last tooth wrapping them both in tissue ready for the tooth fairy.

"Now don't faint when you see the blood when you wash your mouth out,"

Eva washed her mouth, spat it out and screamed, "Blood!"

She looked behind at her grandfather, "What did I say, shh I don't want your parents to find out."

Alan poked his head around the corner with Holly stood behind him. "Dad what are you doing?"

"Uh nothing, it's the middle of the night why aren't you in bed,"

"Holly heard a scream from the bathroom and she woke me up to check it out,"

Alan looked at the floor, "Did you take out Eva's 2 front teeth where now there is a gap?"

"I'm sorry mum and dad, I'm told him he could,"

"It's fine sweetie I'll take you back to bed, dad will speak to grandpa in the morning." Holly walked out with following Eva back to her bed.

Alan turned his back and walked out, "See you in the morning, dad."

Holly got back into bed with Alan, "Eva got back to bed smoothly, although I think after the teeth being pulled out and the time she spent with your dad might give her nightmares,"

"I'll talk to him about it in the morning and about the other thing I have to tell him, don't worry about it I have a plan."

Holly turned her head to face her boyfriend, "Are you sure you want to just quit, you've built a reputation here and a decent friendship with your brothers and Kayo,"

"It's a difficult decision for me, but I think it's the right one, night."

Jeff spent the night cleaning up the bathroom then checked on Eva in her new bedroom where Jeff put the tissue with the teeth in underneath her pillow. He kissed her on the head and led her teddy next to her.

The next morning. "I don't think I've been scared of Alan so much" Jeff worryingly said taken his seat for breakfast.

"Dad, Alan's wants you in his office," Scott shouted.

"He has an office?" Virgil gasped.

Scott laughed, "Technically it's dad office, but he's taken it over for the time being."

Kayo handed the present to Scott, "Happy anniversary babe"

"Thanks, honey," Scott kissed Kayo before opening it.

"Aw, it's our first picture together by the sea decorated with seashells,"

Scott felt the seashells as they were wet, "Are these the ones you skipped?"

"Yeah, I made Gordon scuba-dive and get them. I had to swap our movie night with him tomorrow, though,"

Scott sighed, "Oh, I was looking forward to finishing the love sea film."

Jeff finished the washing up and headed to his office or shall we say Alans office. After he got caught last night knowing he was doing something he shouldn't of done, he couldn't think what his youngest son had to say.

"Can we get John to put on the CTTV from TB5 to see how dad reacts with Alan being in his office,"

Virgil and Scott both cracked a laugh, "I don't see why not our little brother is growing up too quickly past our eyes."

John got the CTTV up from TB5 as he was thinking the same thing. All 5 of them stood around the piano area watching the live footage with ice lollies.

Jeff opened the door and saw Alan spinning the chair around, Alan immediately stopped when he saw his dad had come in. "Oh dad didn't see you come in, you could have been polite and knocked,"

Jeff rolled his eyes "It's my office Alan, what do you want?"

"Did you pull any of our teeth out like you did with Eva?"

"No, because your mother wouldn't let me, but there was one time that I tied a piece of string to Virgil's tooth but your mother caught me as she shut the door and the tooth came out with more blood than hers did,"

"What happened to Virgil then?"

"He got…," Jeff broke from his sentence as he felt a tap on his leg he was worried that Eva might overhear something that wasn't appropriate for her age.

"Grandpa, you said you would spend time with me," Eva said using her puppy dog eyes

"I know, I know," "Why don't you go and wait for me in the living room go and see what the others are doing,"

Jeff waited for Eva to go to finish the conversation off, "As I was saying he got an infection and had to go to the dentist to get it sewn up. Your mum made me go through hell after it happened,"

Alan laughed, "Yeah, I think Holly would do the same thing."

Back in the living room Eva crept up behind all her uncles and Kayo who were leant against the piano.

"BOO," Everyone jumped and looked at each other in shock "Why is daddy and grandpa on the screen?"

Virgil closed the laptop, "Why don't we show you the thunderbirds?"

Eva nodded as they all headed to the hanger. About half a later Eva was getting tired from when she was up all-night last night so all the boys and Kayo took her for a nap giving her kisses and hugs and she insisted they checked underneath her bed for monsters.

Gordon opened the back up laptop up arriving back by the piano, "Eva's asleep so we can carry on with the footage."

They were in the middle of a conversation in the office.

"It sounds like you want to quit INR Alan,"

"Yes, dad I do, me and Holly have made a decision, family comes first,"

Everyone sighed when they heard the news through the footage, "I can't believe it, he's always wanted this since he was little waving at us when we left as teens,"

Johns smile fainted, "I will lose my co-pilot."

"You can't tell Scott, Virgil, Gordon, John or Kayo though, I'm waiting till Holly officially sells her apartment before I tell them,"

Jeff sighed, "Ok, son. Can I have my office back now please?" Alan stood up from the chair, and swap seats with Jeff.

"Yes, dad."

Gordon closed the laptop.

As Alan walked out Jeff chucked away tons of papers which were about different colleges and courses for astronauts. For the rest of the day he was wasn't in a good mood but didn't express it in front of his sons or granddaughter.

Alan strolled into the kitchen trying to seem happy and not thinking about what he just said to his dad. "What's wrong with everyone?"

"Nothings wrong, I'm just my usual self," Gordon said looking frustrated.

Virgil couldn't resist keeping the secret, "That's it. Alan, we watched the security footage on the CCTV and heard you talking to dad about leaving INR,"

Alan held his hands in the air, "Woah, I only told dad because I wanted to warn him before I told you guys. I waiting from confirmation from Holly before I told you,"

If the apartment was sold, it would be great news for both of them and Alan could still carry on his dream with his family. Whereas, if they didn't Alan may have just destroyed his dream.

Alan got called into his bedroom by his girlfriend, "They didn't take the apartment," "I can't understand why they didn't take it was perfect for their description,"

Alan hugged Holly, "I'm sure another offer will come in. We need to tell Eva that we aren't moving yet, what about your INR decision?"

Alan gave out a grieve, "It's too late my brothers, dad and Kayo know."

I've left it on a cliff hanger as I will take a break from writing this one for a while as I have got no reviews. Hope you have enjoyed reading it though.
