Liam's POV:

We had a 3 week break and we all decided to take the first week visiting our families then spend the last 2 weeks back in London, together. Gracie had a court hearing coming up. So we needed to be there.

I was driving back home to visit Mom with Gracie, I knew it would be good for Gracie, as she had missed Mom a lot, and after everything that had happened on tour, Gracie needed to be surrounded by as much love as possible. I pulled into the driveway, seeing that Mom was in (She had no idea I was coming to stop as I wanted to surprise her). I turned around

"Gracie, we're he-"

That girl was adorable, she was curled up in a ball away with the fairies, I didn't want to wake her, but we wanted to surprise Mom together, so I went to Gracie's car door, opening it, I caught Gracie as she fell. Gracie stirred, fluttering her eyes open. Within seconds of knowing where we were she cried, but why? Gracie loved Mom and she said she was excited to go back!

Gracie's POV:

When I woke up I noticed I was on the same driveway I was a few months ago, it was the place I knew no one would hurt me.

"Gracie sweetheart, what's the matter? Did you have a nightmare?"

What was dad on about, then I realised ... I was crying. I was so happy to be there, to be away from everything and to see Nan!

I shook my head

"Nan, I want nan."

Liam's POV:

Nan! She called my mom na..

My thoughts were interrupted, Gracie had climb out the range rover on her own, she ran to the front door! I normally had to pick Gracie out as she was always to weak and small. Thoughts interrupted again as

Gracie was jumping up and down like a normal 13 year old spitting out

"Dad, dad, DADDDDDDD! Come on I want to surprise nan"

I remember thinking "Wow where did all this energy come from".

As I was grabbing my phone Gracie ran, grabbed my hand and started to drag me to the door which she then knocked on.

Mom answered, she was shocked bless her.

"Liam .... GRACIE?, I- I oh come here Gracie give me a squeeze!"

Without any thought Gracie jumped into Moms arms,

"Surprise nan".

I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing. Gracie was a different child.

Mom and Gracie were crying together

"I've missed you nan, I've really missed you."

Gracie was hanging on to mom like a monkey, that had became Gracie's new thing. Gracie then opened her arms, she beckoned me over to join in. The new affection Gracie was showing was melting my heart.

We really caught Mom off guard, she started to panic

"I need to go shopping, I have none of your favourites in and nothing for dinner. You kids sure surprised me".
