Still missing Conor, so this is set after season 26 with Conor still alive. Enjoy!

"Ready for the game son?" Conor asks his son while sitting in a armchair in Jack's living room.

"Absolutely da, this will hopefully be a wild game!" Jack replied excitedly while giving Conor a glass of whiskey. "Here ya go, take it easy da, it's not even evening yet." Jack laughed as Conor immediately took a big sip.

Conor chuckled and puts his glass back on the table. "It's saturday son, cut me some slack!"

"Ya don't care about which day it is da! Everyday is whiskey-day for ya!" Jack laughed while taking a seat on the couch.

Conor shook his head with a smile. "Yea, you're right son."

"I always am da! But don't tell Nikki, she'll disagree with me." Jack replied with a smirk.

They heard footsteps coming down the stairs and both turned around to the door to see Cara walking, she immediately smiled at Jack and Conor and waves at them.

"Hey Cara!" Conor said giving his granddaughter a big smile.

'Ready for the big game?' Cara signed.

Both Jack and Conor nodded their heads. Jack stood up and gestures Cara to sit down. "Want something to drink?" He says while signing to Cara.

Cara nodded. "Vodka orange?"

"She's definitely a Hodgson!" Conor said with a bright smile.

"She is." Jack chuckles and nodded at Cara, he walked in the kitchen and prepared Cara's drink before returning to the living room and handing it over to Cara who took a seat in the orher armchair.

'Thank you.' Cara signed and smiled at her uncle.

Jack returned the smile and went to sit back on the couch, they all looked at the television to follow the pre show of the big football match with subtitles for Cara to follow.

After 15 minutes in they heard the front door open and close, after a few seconds Nikki walked in with 2 big bags of groceries.

"Hey there, need some help with that?" Jack quizzes as he flashes her his famous Jack smile and a wink.

"No, i'm okay! Has the game ended yet?" Nikki asks as she sets the bags down and takes off her coat.

Jack chuckles. "It hasn't even started yet, Nik."

"Oh, too bad." Nikki replied with a smirk. "So i brought snacks and i thought i'd make a nacho bowl, if i don't mess it up." Nikki said while grabbing the groceries bags and walking more into the living room.

"Sounds delicious." Conor replied while taling another big sip of his whiskey.

Nikki smiles and looks at Cara. "Also good for you?" Nikki says while signing. Smiling when Cara gave her a big smile and a nod. "Great, i'll bring is out when it's done." Nikki said while making her way to the kitchen.

"Don't burn down the house please." Jack said behind her jokily.

Nikki turned around and looked at Jack. "Keep saying that and you're not getting any!"

"Any what?" He said with a goofy smile on his face.

Nikki shook her head while a blush crept on her cheeks, she didn't answer him and went to the kitchen.

Jack chuckled to himself and met his fathers look. "What?"

"You're niece is in the room." Conor replied.

"Oh come on da! I was just joking around."

"Hm sure son," Conor smirked back at his son before taking another sip from his whiskey.

Jack shook his head and also took a sip from his whiskey.

After a couple of minutes they heard something falling in the kitchen followed by a cursing Nikki.

"That woman is not a princess in the kitchen!" Jack said with a laugh.

"I heard that Hodgson!" They heard Nikki yell from the kitchen.

Jack chuckled and stood up from the couch. "I'll go and check if my kitchen is still alive."

Conor laughed at his son. "Good luck in there son."

"I'm not even sure if i come back alive out of that kitchen..." Jack said softly with a laugh and walked to the kitchen, he saw facing the counter preparing the nacho bowl. "Everything okay here?" He asks walking up to her to stand behind her.

"Yes everything is fine, i was trying to grab a bowl for the nachos but i couldn't reach it.. i tried climbing on the counter but then i slipped and the cutting board fell on the floor." Nikki said shyly, her length was always a thing for her and Jack always mocked her with it.

"Ah my lil' shorty." Jack smirked and wrapped his around her waist leaving a kiss on her head.

"Shut up and grab me a bowl please?" Nikki said sweetly.

"Only because you asked so nicely." Jack said while unwrapping his arms from her waist and grabbing her a bowl from the top counter and setting it down next to the cutting board. "Here ya go my love."

"Thank you." Nikki said, she puts the knife down and turned around facing Jack and looked up to him. "So i'm not a princess in the kitchen huh?"

Jack let out a small laugh and wrapped his arms around her again. "Not really, but you are a princess outside the kitchen." He said while leaving a kiss on her nose.

Nikki let out a giggle. "Really?" She looked up at him and bit her bottom lip.

"Hm." Jack replied and bent down to capture his lips with hers, he felt Nikki smile in the kiss and deepens it.

A few minutes later the kiss got heated and their tongues were fighting for dominance. Jack slowly bent down and bought his arms with him to lift Nikki up and set her on the counter. He closed the gap between them and pulled Nikki close to him.

Nikki wrapped her legs around his waist and her hands roamed his body and eventually they found his hair, she let out a small moan and could feel Jack was enjoying it too.

Someone clearing their throat behind them broke the two lovers apart, Jack turned his head and saw his father standing there smirking at them.

"The game is about to start son..." Conor said while keeping the smirk on his face looking at the pair in front of them who were both blushing and panting. "Looks like you started your own game here."

"Da!" Jack hissed under his breath making Conor's smirk even bigger.

"Oh come on son, just joking around. You two look like teenagers!"

A deep shade of pink color krept on Nikki's cheek aa she hit her face on Jack's shoulder. "Sorry Conor."

"Don't worry love, i'm delighted my son is very happy, but he has to learn that his dad and niece are also living here. You know i always loved you two together, you're family." Conor smiled at the pair.

Nikki looked up and smiled at Conor "I appreciate l that Conor."

Nikki moved off the counter with Jack's help and pushed Jack towards his dad. "Go, your big game is about to start. Snacks are ready in 15."

Jack chuckled and turned around to quickly peck Nikki's lips before leading his dad back to the living room.

Nikki smiled and shook her head, she turned around and focused back on maling the nacho bowl.

15 minutes in the game Jack saw Nikki walking in the living room with her hands full with food. "Now that looks delicious."

Nikki smiled and puts everything on the table. "So a large nacho bowl with tomato salsa and guacamole, a spinach dip with chips and nuts."

"It looks amazing Nikki, go sit down and relax." Conor said while grabbing a nacho that waa topped with tomato salsa and putting it in his mouth.

"Thanks Conor. I think i'll clean the kitchen, football isn't really my thing." Nikki replied.

"Come on Nikki, just sit down." Jack said while patting the spot besides him on the couch. "I'll grab you some wine, you both want a refill?" Jack asks Conor and Cara.

They both nodded and Jack stood up to grab them their drinks, Nikki sat down in the middle of the couch and grabbed some nuts from the table, she looks at Cara and smiles. "You like it?"

"It tastes amazing." Cara signs with a big smile before focusing back on the television.

After a few minutes Jack came back handing Cara and Nikki their drinks before pouring Conor and his glass with another round of whiskey. He sat back down and wrapped his arm around Nikki and pulls her into his side. "You look tired." He whispers to her.

"Hm yeah, didn't get much sleep. Finished some work on my laptop and went to back at 3 i think.." Nikki said while a yawn escaped from her mouth.

"Yeah i heard you coming to bed late, you shouldn't work at home Nik, it's your weekend off." Jack replied while slowly rubbing circles below her rib cage.

"I know, but my head was buzzing." Nikki says while rested her head on his chest.

"Please let me know next time, i'll keep your mind of work..." Jack said in a flirty tone.

Nikki giggled and slapped his chest with her free arm. "Jack!" She whispers.

"Come on.. promise me." Jack said while looking down at her.

"Okay, i promise." Nikki said while looking back up at him.

"Good." Jack replied while kissing her quickly on her lips and giving her a smile before he focused back on the game.

Conor and Cara quickly looked at each other and smiles at the pair on the couch.

Nikki looked at the television and tried her best to figure out which teams were playing. "So... who's playing in the red shirts?" She asks.

"That's Manchester United." Jack replied while keeping his focus on the game.

"Okay, and who's playing in the blue shirts?" Nikki asks again, this time more in a innocent tone.

Jack chuckles at her. "Manchester City."

"So they're both from Manchester? Then what makes this game so special?"

"They play for the championship and they play to decide who is the 'boss' of Manchester, these games are sold out within minutes." Jack said while wooing when Manchester United almost scored a goal.

"Okay.. and we're supporting Manchester United right?" Nikki said while looking around the room to see Conor and Cara nod at her.

'They are the best.' Cara signs excitedly.

"I see another family resemblance." Nikki smirked at Jack.

Jack smiles and nodded at her. "Hodgson's love football."

"Yeah, Alexander's don't." Nikki said while letting out a sigh, she wished she had a dad who learned her everything about football instead she only had bad memories about her dad, who mostly used her mom as a football.

Jack looked down and pulled Nikki even closer to him and whispers in her ear. "One day you'll be a Hodgson, and trust me that will happen. I'll make sure before that happens you'll love this as much as we do."

Nikki blushed and looks up at him. "Then we have a deal."

A big grin krept on Jack's face as he kissed her head. "I love you." Jack said still whispering.

"I love you too." Nikki whispers back.

"What are you smiling about son?" Conor said while the pair looked at him with both a blush on their faces.

"Oh nothing, just about football." Jack replied.

"Hm sure." Conor said with a big smirk on his face.

After awhile Nikki woke up on Jack's lap on the couch, she slowly took in her surroundings and stretched out her arms only to notice she is wrapped under a blanket.

"Look who is awake! Sleeping beauty." Jack said while looking down at her.

"Hmpf, did i fell asleep during the game?" Nikki said in a sleepy tone.

"You dozed off around 30 minutes in the game." Conor replied finishing the last of his whiskey.

"What time is it?" Nikki said while rubbing her eyes to look up at Jack.

"It's almost 7."

"I'm sorry, i was suppose to serve you all with more snacks." Nikki said while sitting up.

"Oh Nikki, we had more than enough, that spinach dip was amazing, don't worry about us. You fed us well." Conor said giving her a wink while standing up to leave the room.

Nikki looked at Jack who was also looking at her, she gave him a smile and leaned in to kiss him briefly. "Where is Cara?" Nikki asked.

"She's meeting with some university friends for diner, she left about 10 minutes ago."

"Glad she is making friends." Nikki smiles.

Jack nodded in agreement and smiled at her, he pulled her in his arm and kissed her cheek. "So the plan is that i order some pizza and then i'll run you a nice bath before we head to bed early, together."

"Want to join me in the bath too Mr. Hodgson?" Nikki said while biting her bottom lip.

"I think you know the answer to that dr. Alexander." Jack smirks and looks her in the eyes.

Nikki giggled. "I do."

Jack smiled and pulled her in his lap.

"Oh i forgot to ask.. did Manchester United win?" Nikki asks while wrapping her arms around his neck.

"Yes they did, they beat Manchester City with 3-1." Jack said proudly.

"I missed 4 goals?!" Nikki asked shocked, did she really miss the three of them cheering, was she that knocked out?

"Look at you, already beginning to like it! But yeah, you didn't even flinch when we all cheered."

Nikki laughed and kissed him. "I think i'll buy myself a Manchester United shirt."

"Let's make a deal, if you stay awake the whole time the next game, i'll buy you one with 'Hodgson' on the back." Jack said trying to figure out if he went to far with this comment, he relaxed when a big smile grew on Nikki's face.

"Deal." Nikki said while leaning in to kiss him again.
