A New Chapter Begins...Again

t h r e e

The twins come running down the stairs

Tom: Ready?

Haylee: Yeah!

You head to the car and drive them to Tom's parent's house

Mrs. Holland: My favorite grandchildren are here!

Ryker: Grandma!

They run up and give her a hug

Mr. Holland: Come on kiddos

You: Thank you, Nikki

Mrs. Holland: Anytime, you know that. Are you guys okay?

Tom: Jacob came to the house

Mrs. Holland: Did he find out?

You: No, Harrison had all 4 of them upstairs. I'm just scared. It's been 10 years

Mrs. Holland: They can stay here as long as you want them to

Tom: Thanks mom

You: Bye kiddos!

They run up and give you and Tom a giant hug

Tom: Have fun you two! And behave!

They run off and you head back home

Kristen: They safe?

You: For now, yeah

Tom: Hey, they'll be okay. And Harry's going to be there for a few days

You: I just don't want them to get hurt

Tom: They won't. You're the strongest person I know, and you raised them to be just as strong

You: I don't want my parents to know, and I don't trust Jacob at all

Tom: I know you don't

Kristen: What if we put a restraining order on him?

You: It's Jacob, he'll just hide in the shadows

Harrison: Hey!

You: ...Hi

Harrison: What happened?

Tom: Jacob happened

Harrison: I know he was here, but what happened?

You: Nothing. I called him out for reporting back to our parents

Tom: Then we brought the twins went to my parents' house

Harrison: How long will they be there?

You: Not sure. But Liam and Mattie can still see them

Kristen: That's not our concern right now

Your emotions got to be too much. You break down and fall to your knees crying

Tom: Shortie, it's okay

You: No! I can't let those kids get hurt

Tom: They're not going to. You have huge support here

Kristen: And why do you think they'll get hurt?

You: The night they came to LA to try to kill me, one of their reasons was because I could have kids and they would never know them

Tom: They're in jail...

You: But Jacob's not, and they have people

Harrison: If they have people, they might already know

You: Please don't tell me that

Kristen: y/n, those kids are in good hands. I mean Ryker's godfather is RDJ

Tom: They're okay shortie

They all wrap you in a hug and you stop crying

Harrison: I'm going to take the kids to my parents for the weekend, then we can focus on this

Kristen: Want me to come?

Harrison: Of course!

You: Be safe, please

Harrison: Always

They leave to get their kids ready and you stay on the couch not moving

Tom: It's fine, nothing's going to happen

You: But what if something does? Then it's my fault

Tom: We will make sure nothing happens...together

Harrison: We should be back in an hour

Tom: We'll be right here

They leave and Tom sits next to you

Tom: I'm going to regret asking this, but why is it so bad for your parents to know? Maybe it would help change them

You: But what if it doesn't? Then their hatred towards me goes to them too

Tom: But they said you would have kids and they would never know them

You: Where are you going with this?

Tom: What if we took the twins to meet them?

You: You really think that's a good idea? I haven't even gone to see them

Tom: The twins deserve to know they at least exist. And maybe their hatred will go down or away

You: ...Alright, but they stay in between us. I don't want them in there in the first place

Tom: We know Haylee will be on my back, and you'll have Ryker

You: So, when should we go?

Tom: How about next week since we'd have to go to the states, and the kids have a short week at school

You: Sure. I'll call the school and get their work for the few days they'll miss
