The g-parents would have to prove that you are not fit to parent and that the child living with you would not be in his best interest and living with them would be in his best interest.

Where's the father on all this?

Unless you have given them a strong basis for their guardianship action, they should fail. See case called Troxel. Also multiple family code sections and recent case law.
