It's been a few hours since you found out Jacob might've been at your house. You had locked yourself in your room to calm down

Tom's POV

Kristen: What happened?

Tom: Jacob might've been here, and our children swore to say nothing

Kristen: What?

Tom: Yeah, they were on the beach, and someone grabbed Ryker

Kristen: How is she?

Tom: Not good. She's been in and out of the bathroom and she locked the bedroom door

Harrison: Oh no...

Tom: What?

Tom and Kristen turn around to see Jacob in the doorway with all 4 kids

Jacob: So, I'm back

Harrison: What do you want?

Jacob: Just your kids

You: Not going to happen

Tom: y/n...

Jacob: Well...you said you couldn't have kids

Your POV

You: I didn't know I could either, but I'm definitely paying for it now

Tom: Let go of the kids Jacob

Harrison: Yeah, let them go

Jacob: Mom and dad are going to hate them

You: Actually...they loved them, guess you haven't called recently

Jacob: You went?

Tom: Yeah, all 4 of us did

Jacob: You only had 2 kids?

You: Yes, and they had 2. So, let go or I call the cops

He lets go and the kids run up to you guys. You push the kids behind the 4 of you

Kristen: What do you want?

Tom: I thought you changed...

Harrison: And wanted to start your own family

Jacob: Turns out she wasn't as happy as I was

You: Or were you going too fast?

Jacob: I don't know

You: Jacob, you need to leave. You need to go back to the states and start over...from scratch

Jacob: And forget about all of this?

You: Yes, get a new name, go to a new state, and start over. This is a new low, even for you...

Jacob drops his head and walks out. That was the last you heard from him, except letters every now and then. You stand there then feel arms around your legs

You: Hey guys

Haylee: Hi momma

Ryker: Thank you for protecting us

You kneel down and pull them both into a hug

You: I told you I always would

Haylee: Was that your brother?

You: It was, yeah

Ryker: He's mean...

You: I know, that's why I kept you away from him

Tom: We wanted you two to be safe

Haylee: With you guys—

Ryker: We're always safe

You stand up and go over to Liam and Mattie. You kneel down to their level

You: I'm so sorry this happened. I never wanted to scare you two like this

Liam: It's okay aunt y/n

Mattie: Yeah, people are crazy

You: I love you both so much

You pull them into a hug then stand up

You: Woah...

Kristen: You okay?

You: Just dizzy

Tom: Come on, I'll help you to the couch

Harrison: What happened?

You: I just stood up too fast, and the pain's a lot today

Tom: It's okay, just relax. I'll get you water

Ryker: Mom?

You: Yeah bubs?

Ryker: Are you okay?

You: Yes, I'm okay. Why?

Ryker: Because I want to do this

He jumps on your lap and wraps himself around you. He buries his head in your shoulder and starts crying. You rub his back and just let him let it go

Tom: He okay?

You: He will be. I think his emotions finally got too much for him to handle

Tom: What about your kids Kristen?

Kristen: They're okay

Harrison: They had a tough aunt help raise them

Harrison smiles at you and you smile back

You: What would I do without you guys?

Kristen: I think it's what would we do without you
