You: Haylee!
Haylee: Mom!
You: Open the door
Haylee: I-I c-can't. I-it's st-stuck
Tom: Haylee, back up!
Tom breaks open her door, and you can see her shaking and crying. She runs up to you and jumps into your arms
You: Bubba, what happened?
Haylee: I d-don't know
Tom: Was it a bad dream?
Haylee: Th-they w-were s-so m-mean to m-me
Tom: Bubba...
You hand Haylee to Tom, and she buries herself into Tom's body
Tom: I've got her
You: Okay, call me if you need me
You go in to wake up Ryker, but he's already up and dressed
You: Morning Ry
Ryker: Morning mom
You: You got a date or something?
Ryker: No, mom. Girls are gross, except you and Haylee
You: Good, you remember that
Ryker: I just wanted to wear these today
You: Even though we are going to the beach today?
Ryker: I'm changing right now!
You: Okay, meet me downstairs bubs
You head downstairs and just make a big breakfast for everyone to pick at
Sam: Haylee okay?
You: Tom's with her, so I'm not sure
Sam: Why aren't you?
You: She's a daddy's girl. She prefers Tom
Sam: That's not fair
You: Sam, it's fine. She prefers Tom for certain things. This time it's about Tom, so it's best if Tom's with her
Sam: I guess...
You: And you know you could've helped her this morning
Sam: I tried, she wanted you guys
You: That's okay, as long as you tried. Is Val coming today?
Sam: Yes, she's on her way actually
You: Great!
Harry: Morning everyone!
You: Morning
Harry: Is Haylee okay? She seemed really shaken up when I walked by
You: The kids at school are being mean to her, and she's just breaking
Harry: Poor kid...
You: She'll be okay. She just needs some time away
Tom: Y/n!
You: Coming! Please eat, I made a lot
You run upstairs and Haylee runs up to you
You: Hey bubba
Haylee: Hi mom
You: Are you okay?
Haylee: I don't know...
Tom: I'll pack lunch for the beach
As Tom leaves you mouth thank you, and you pick Haylee up swaying back and forth in a hug
You: What's going on bubba?
Haylee: I don't want to go back
You: You have to go to school
Haylee: Is there a different one I can go to?
You: Not around here. Dad and I plan on talking to your teacher on Monday
Haylee: Can I stay home this week?
You: You'd have to go up to grandma's
Haylee: What if she came down?
You: You can ask her
Haylee hugs you tighter, and you can't help but hold her even tighter
Haylee: Are we still going to the beach?
You: Yeah. Why don't you get changed, and meet us downstairs?
Haylee: Okay
You put her down so she can change. You head downstairs, and Tom hugs you from behind
Tom: Hi
You: Hey. Everything packed?
Tom: Yeah. Haylee coming?
You: Yes, she's changing
Tom: Yay!
You: I also may have agreed to let her stay home this week
Tom: Y/n!
You: I felt bad and she was on the verge of crying again
Tom: You're such a sucker
You: Yeah, I am...I'm not proud of it
