Thought it was time to update this story, I apologise for the wait.

Later that night once Grandma had passed out from one too many Sherries in her favourite arm chair, Jeff had noticed that Scott and Virgil weren't in the living room any more, he thought they must have gone to bed, Alan was stretched out fast asleep on the sofa, Gordon was sat by Alan's feet resting his head on the back of the sofa his eyes droopy like he was about to fall asleep. John was sat in his favourite spot in the corner on the cosiest arm chair with Katherine cuddled up next to him.

Jeff watched them for a short while analysing their every movement. Every time Katherine tightened her grip around John's waist he would return the affection then resting his head on hers he would kiss her forehead.

He stared at them remembering having similar affectionate times with his wife before she died, every time he was home for the short periods before having to leave to go back to NASA they had shared many evenings snuggled up in front of the telly.

"Dad?" John whispered bringing Jeff back from his thoughts, "you okay?" John asked. By this time Katherine was looking sleepily over into Jeff's direction her head resting on John's shoulder.

"John," Jeff said giving a quick glance around the lounge noticing everyone else was asleep, "it's past eleven, it's too late to be taking Katherine home now, if she wants she can stay the night," he said in no more than a whisper, "but the rules are you go to sleep and no funny business! Katherine you must call home to let them know you are okay and that I will be keeping a close eye on you both."

John and Katherine just looked at each other shocked that had just been suggested. Katherine agreed and quickly rung home to let them know she was okay. John didn't think her parents would allow her to stay but the mention of Jefferson Tracy ex-astronaut/military man was going to be watching them closely they also agreed to Katherine staying. John was relieved that she hadn't mentioned that although his Dad had made a good name for himself, he wasn't sure how being an alcoholic in training would have gone down.

They sat cuddled up in the chair for a little longer before Katherine started to doze in John's arms, noticing how still she had become John nudged his girlfriend awake.

"Come on you," he said softly into her ear, "I think it's time for bed." She nodded as they both got up.

"Sounds like a good idea," she said looking at John, "Good night Mr Tracy, Sir," glancing in the direction of Jeff.

"Night Dad," John yawned.

"Good night you two. Now remember what I said, I'm trusting you both," Jeff said strictly.

"Dad, we are far too tired to….ah…..get up to much," John said blushing slightly as he didn't want to let on that they had already done 'the deed' at the same time wanting his Dad to know he wasn't a girl pants.

"Hehe, alright, night night," Jeff said as he got up for another drink from his cabinet.

John guided Katherine out of the room with his hand on the lower part of her back, giving his Dad a quick backward glance before heading quietly upstairs, so not to draw too much attention if his brothers were still up, then into his bedroom. Katherine walked in first followed by John who switched the light on.

"I can't believe my parents are letting me stay over!" Katherine exclaimed as she walked over to his window and looked out at the stars.

"I know!" John replied "I think my Dad understands how I feel about you," John said walking up behind her wrapping his arms around her waist, bending slightly he rested his chin upon her shoulder. He turned her around in his arms so she was facing him, his arms still around her waist, pulling her close to him. Leaning to draw his curtains, then giving Katherine his full attention. Katherine placed both of her hands on his chest, looking into his eyes they leaned in for a long deep kiss. Her hands started to wonder underneath his t-shirt, feeling his flat tummy running her hands up his sides, he laughed softly.

"Hey," he said, "that tickles!"

"I know," she said as she lifted his t-shirt over his head then kissing his collar bone. Moving her hands down she undid his trouser belt and zip letting his trousers drop to the floor, looking down just below John's waist she burst out laughing.

"Oh John!" she said bent over with laughter.

"What?" he said puzzled, "What's so funny?"

Being unable to speak through a fit of laughter, but pointing at John's groin area, he looked down.

"Oh yeah, laugh it up," John said blushing slightly as he had forgotten that he had put those boxers on this morning as he hadn't realised that his girlfriend would be taking a look today. Scott had brought them for him after catching him in the woods that time. The boxers were a picture of a hand on the left side pointing up and said 'the man' and on the right side there was another hand pointing inward to his groin that said 'the legend'.

"Think that's funny?" he got no response but sniggering, "Lets have a look to see what your underpants are saying!" trying to be quiet so as not to disturb the rest of the household he playfully tackled her onto his bed then in turn each item of her clothing was removed leaving just her delicates on. John sat back on his bed looking over her in a thoughtful pose.

"Hmmmmm," he said.

"Something wrong, Stargazer?" Katherine asked smiling up at him.

"Not at all," still in his thoughtful pose, "I know what you underwear is saying!" he said suddenly.

"Yeah, What?" she asked teasingly.

"It's saying 'come and get me big boy!'" John said with a smirk on his face as he started planting soft kisses over her face, neck then down her arms.

"Kat, honey are you…..?" he looked up at her once again still form due to sleep. Smiling to himself he got up went to his wardrobe and fetched a clean t-shirt out. Taking it back over to the bed he gently woke Katherine up to put the shirt on for an extra layer so she didn't get too cold in the night and then snuggled underneath the bed covers.

John switched his light off, got into bed with Katherine who was already cuddling up to him again. After a couple of minutes he too fell into a sleepy slumber.

The next morning John woke up, Kat still cuddled up to him in his baggy t-shirt.

"Morning sleepy head," Katherine said lazily.

"Morning," John said broadly smiling. He had never woken up next to her before and it was the best feeling in the world he thought to himself pulling her in for a closer cuddle having yet to open his eyes. He suddenly sat bolt upright snapping his eyes open realising something.

"You okay, John?"

"Yeah, fine," he replied, "it's just…." He said trailing off.

"A touch of….ahem…..morning glory?" Katherine finished for him.

"I guess," he said feeling embarrassed "How did you know?"

"I have felt it pushing against my leg since I woke up!" she said.

"Oh….ah…..sorry," still feeling embarrassed "how about we get up and go have some breakfast?" he suggested hoping to change the subject.

"Sounds like a plan," she said kissing him gently on the cheek.

At breakfast there was the usual hustle and bustle. Scott in his jogging bottoms and vest top having just come back from his morning run, Virgil sat at the table looking like he was going to fall asleep into his breakfast any minute and Alan and Gordon were plotting between them what they were going to get up to that day. Jeff was sat reading the paper at the head of the table and his Mother was preparing breakfast for everyone.

John and Katherine appeared in the doorway to the kitchen, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at the couple.

"Morning everyone," John said.

"Good morning you two," Grandma greeted "Katherine dear, you're here early today,"

"Well she stayed over last night," John commented.

"I'm sorry, she what? JEFFERSON! Did you know about this?" Grandma spat out.

"Yes, in fact I suggested it!" Knowing full well it would annoy his Mother.

The rest of the Tracy boys were sat open mouthed and kept looking from side to side to whoever was speaking.

"Do you know what children get up to now days?" she exclaimed looking at her son who was trying to hide behind his paper. Marching over to Jeff she yanked the paper out of his hands.

"No Mother, surprise me," he sighed but not really wanting to hear what she had to say.

"They have sex! That's what they do! My goodness Jefferson I would have thought you would have known better all Tracy men can't resist the fairer sex. Women are like a drug to them, I should know! Especially what they are like in the morning - rampant! That's what Tracy men are RAMPANT! Your Father never used to let me get up until he was completely satisfied! Do you hear me Jefferson?" She said as she stormed off into the living room.

"Unfortunately," he muttered under his breath once she had gone. The rest of the Tracy boys were still open mouthed, they couldn't believe what they were hearing firstly John had his first sleep over with his girlfriend and secondly the way their grandma just spoke to their Father and got away with it.

After what had happened only half an hour earlier in bed John wanted the ground to swallow him up.

Everyone sat in silence until Jeff got up and followed his Mother for round two.
