It's been a crazy week for everyone at the house. Sam got a chef's position, Paddy's struggling with some classes at school, the 4 kids have had a crazy week at school and with sports, Tom and you have been on set, and Harrison and Kristen have been running around with the kids when they aren't working themselves

Tom: You ready?

You: No, but I'll be okay

Tom: Yes, you will. We'll all be there. I'll check on the twins

Tom's POV

Tom: Hey little man, are you packed?

Ryker: Yeah, I put my bag by the door

Tom: Awesome. Head downstairs though

Ryker: Okay!

Haylee: Dad!

Tom: Yeah bubba?

Haylee: I can't reach the sweatshirt grandma gave me

Tom: I'll grab it

Haylee: Thanks!

Tom: You ready to go?

Haylee: Yup!

Tom: Okay, bring your stuff down and mommy and I will be right there

She heads down and Tom heads back to you

You: Are they okay?

Tom: Yeah. They're packed and downstairs ready to leave

You: Then let's go

Tom loads up the car while you talk to Kristen

Kristen: You're going to be okay

You: I know, I'm just worried I'll have an anxiety attack in front of the twins

Kristen: Tom's going to be there for you

She gives you a hug and you head to the car

Kristen: No hand clenching!

You: No promises!

You give her a smile and head to the airport. As you get closer to the gate, the paparazzi swarm around you. Tom puts Haylee on his back and Ryker's in between you both, holding on tight

You: Buckle up you two

Ryker: Where are we going?

Tom: Los Angeles, California

Haylee: Why?

You: You two need to meet some people

Haylee: Ooo, who?

You: Your other grandparents

Ryker: What? We have more?

Tom: Yeah

Ryker: Why haven't we met them?

You: They aren't really nice people. I wanted to keep you away from them for as long as possible

Haylee: What did they do?

You squat down in front of them and take a deep breath

You: They hurt people...

Ryker: Like who?

Tom: Like mommy and daddy

You: And aunt Kristen

Haylee: Why?

You: I still don't know why, but I want you two to know we won't let anyone near you

Tom: We'll protect you from everything

Haylee: Are they in jail?

Tom: Yeah bubba...

Ryker: So, why do they need to meet us?

You: You guys are going to be around premiers with mom and dad a little more, and you deserve to know

Ryker: What if they're mean to us?

You: Then we're leaving, and never going back

The twins fall asleep a few hours into the flight while you and Tom were up

Tom: Are you okay? I'm in charge of your anxiety

You: Yeah, they deserve to know, and so do my parents. Yes, they're horrible people, but they weren't always

Tom: When will you tell Jacob?

You: I'll let my parents handle it

Tom: Do you think we should bring them to the red carpet after what happened at the airport?

You: I'm not sure, I thought they could handle it. But if you think about it they would be pretty far back

Tom: True

You: And you could always pick one if not both up

Tom: So, they're still going?

You: Yeah, they should be fine

You let the kid's sleep, even after the plane lands. Tom puts Haylee on his hip and you carry Ryker in front of you. You head to the hotel and just put them to bed. A few hours later Ryker comes in crying and can't really move out of fear

Tom: Hey bud, what's going on? Bad dream?

Ryker: Yeah, there was a mean lady chasing mommy...

Tom: What did she look like?

Ryker: I don't know, I only saw her back

Tom: It's okay bubs, I've got you now
