"Hello?" I pick up the phone.

"Tori. It's your grandfather." Grandpa says

"Oh, hey, grandpa." I greet

"I'd like to discuss tomorrow's meeting." Grandpa reveals

"Okay. Go ahead."

"I was thinking that we should relocate." Grandpa states

"Midtown?" I ask

"Here." Grandpa admits

"Your house?"

"It'll be more comfortable, with infinitely better snacks." Grandpa explains

"Yeah, that sounds great." I say

"Wonderful. I'll call Rory and the group." He tells me

"Okay. Then I guess I'll see you Tomorrow."

"Tomorrow." Grandpa confirms

"Bye." I put the phone down



The following day, I didn't go into school as it wasn't my day to go in, it was Tristan's.

I still had to meet up with Rory, grandpa and the rest of the group later.

Tristan had explained that he was meeting up with his friend Logan and some of Logan's friends. I think Tristan said their names were Colin and Finn. Meaning that Tristan couldn't look after the girls, so I had to take them with to grandma and grandpa's.

It wasn't ideal but I am hoping they will sit quietly on my lap even though Mia or Charlie will want to go to Rory.



I pull up at grandpa and grandmas house ten minutes later than we had planned, meaning I was running really late.

I had Charlie's and Mia's bag full of stuff to keep them entertained on one shoulder, and then food and diapers and stuff in a bag on the other shoulder.

I pick Charlie up out of her car seat and put her in my left arm and do the same with Mia but in my right arm.

As I enter the house, one of the bags slip down my shoulder and I put Charlie down on the floor whilst I put the bag back on my shoulder.

Once I had done that I find Charlie crawling away into the dining room.

"Charlie! Charlie, come back here!" I shout whilst attempting to run to get her but fail as I drop the other bag. "Charlotte! Come back."

"Here, I've got her." Rory jumps up out of her chair to grab Charlie.

"Thanks Ror. Sorry that I'm late grandpa, it's been a hectic afternoon. The girls aren't listening at all." I explain as I take Charlie back again and sit down at the spare seat next to Louise and Madeline. "I would have left Charlie and Mia at home but Tristan was busy and no one else could have them."

"It's no problem tori. I'm sure your grandmother could look after them if they play up. Anyway, continue Paris."

"Listed in front of you are all the contents contained in the arc 2002, plus the additional style options, 12 in all. Every one of them waterproof, fireproof, and comes with a five year warranty." Paris continues

"Which is longer than most of your high school careers." Grandpa jokes

"He is funny!" Paris whispers

"Now, there's also a deluxe model with extra features designed to personalize your kit even more specifically for your needs. There will be a snap in CD case which can hold up to ten CDs. Theres a lighted vanity mirror and a divided compartment for makeup and knickknacks, a picture frame, and a hidden mini vault for valuables, which can be locked for safety." Grandpa explains
