This is short, but it also has a story behind why I wrote this... story is at the ending A/N...

I don't own PnF

Five-year-old Ferb was sitting in front of the TV, watching one of his favorite programs on it. He was also biting and chewing on his toy wrench he had. His little tummy growled with hunger and he hoped that the food his daddy ordered would be here soon. He turned around and saw his dad sitting at the table in the dining room, working on some paperwork and bills. Ferb turned back to the TV and began chewing a little harder on his toy when all of a sudden…

CRUNCH!

Ferb froze his chewing when he felt something weird going on in his mouth. He pulled the toy out of his mouth and felt around with his fingers. He froze when he felt his bottom left tooth lose. He wiggled it around with his finger and felt tears welling up in his eyes. He broke his tooth… he just broke his tooth… His bottom lip trembled slightly and he began sniffing. He turned to look at his daddy and let out a small whimper.

Lawrence heard his son right away and looked up. When he saw Ferb's sad look he quickly rose up from his seat and ran over to him.

"What's wrong, son?" Lawrence asked, "What happened?"

Ferb's eyes welled up more and he began crying hard. Lawrence looked shocked but kneeled down next to him and pulled him into his arms. Ferb wailed loudly and began hiccupping out his dilemma,

"M… my tooth… it's… it's broken…" he began crying harder and buried his head in his dad's shoulder.

Lawrence frowned slightly and pulled back to look at his crying son. He opened Ferb's mouth slightly, and sure enough his little tooth was loose. Lawrence's eyebrows rose up with understanding now. He stood up with Ferb still in his arms and sat down on the couch with him. He started rubbing Ferb's back and talking soothingly,

"Oh Ferb please don't cry-"

"I… I won't be able…. to chew my food… I'm sorry, daddy!"

Lawrence shook his head, "Oh no, no, no son… it's okay. Listen to me, the tooth that is loose right now is supposed to be."

Ferb sniffed and looked up sadly at his father.

"Right now, Ferb you have baby teeth. And those baby teeth need to come out in order to be replaced by big boy teeth. Your big boy teeth are much bigger and stronger then baby teeth. Do you understand?"

Ferb nodded slightly and cocked his head, "Did you… lose your teeth too?"

Lawrence smiled, "Yes, I started losing them when I was about your age. Now I have grown up teeth."

Ferb reached up to his dad's mouth, so Lawrence opened up slightly. Ferb looked at his daddy's straight white teeth and smiled slightly. Lawrence smiled back and kissed his son's hand.

"So you see, Ferb," Lawrence spoke, "it's going to be okay. Once that tooth comes out, you'll start growing a new one in its place.

Ferb reached into his mouth and used his finger to wiggle the loose tooth. It felt kind of strange, but cool at the same time. He looked happily up at his father,

"I'm going to be a big boy?"

Lawrence chuckled and ruffled his hair affectionately, "You already are, son… but you are going to get a bunch of new big boy teeth."

Ferb wiped his damp eyes and leaned up against his dad's chest. Lawrence patted his back and kissed the top of his head. His son was getting to be a big boy. Right before his eyes, Ferb was growing up with each passing minute. But this moment right now with him proved that Ferb would always need his daddy around to make him feel better.

So here's the story... this somewhat happened to me when I was around Ferb's age. I was sitting in front of the TV and biting on my sister's wooden teething toy. I suddenly heard and felt a 'crack' sound and felt my tooth loose. I freaked out and my mom tried explaining that this was normal. Unlike Ferb though, I was still scared and upset. So my mom called out my older best friend (who lived far away at the time) and told her mom what was going on. Soon she handed me the phone and my friend told me that she was loosing teeth as well and I ended up calming down after hearing that. After that, I didn't mind losing my teeth... I liked twisting them out when they were ready XD
