A New Chapter Begins...Again

Monday afternoon

Principal: Good afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Holland

Tom: Afternoon

Principal: So, it's my understanding you're here for this

He pulled out the picture

You: Yes, and we need to come up with some form of a solution, or our kids are done here

Principal: I want you to know I personally have been trying to figure this out. The only thing is I can't trackback to the original sender

Tom: This went through the entire school over jealousy

Principal: I'm aware, but the original sender was a blocked name

You: What?

Principal: I was able to track all the way back, but the original sender was marked as unavailable

Tom: What else can be done?

Principal: I'm going to ask one of my friends in the Army Reserves to track the original sender. He specializes in hacking, so he'll be able to help

You: Until then Ryker and Haylee are staying home

Tom: We need to ensure the safety of our children

Principal: And I agree. I will reach out to their teachers, gather all their work and send it to them

You: Thank you

Principal: It's the least I can do while trying to figure this out

You and Tom left office. You waited for Haylee, Mattie, and Liam since Ryker was home with Robert

Haylee: Mom? Dad?

You: Hey bubba

Haylee: What are you doing here?

You: We had a meeting with your principal

Haylee: Is it about that stupid picture?

You: Yeah

Tom: Let's talk about that later, we have to pick up the twins and Caleb

You all climb in the car and head to pick up the twins and Caleb

Tom: Hi Livvy

Olivia: Daddy!

Tom: How was your day?

Olivia: Good. Hi mommy

You: Hey booger. Where's Ry?

Olivia: Over there

Liv stayed with Tom and you went to Ryan

You: Hey Ry

Ryan: Mom!

You: How was your day?

Ryan: Good. I'm tired

You: You look it. Let's go by dad and I can get Caleb

Ryan: Then home?

You: Yes, and then home

You pick him up and he puts his head in your neck

Tom: Hey Ryan

Ryan: Hi dad

Tom: Can I take you so mom can get Caleb?

Ryan: Yeah

Tom had Liv on one hip and Ryan on the other, just like he did with Ryker and Haylee

You: Super dad...

Tom: That's me

You: I'll be right back with Caleb

Tom: Take your time

You walked down a hallway to get Caleb

Miss. Jenn: Mrs. Holland, hello

You: Hi Miss. Jenn. How was Caleb?

Miss. Jenn: Good. Was a little fussy before his nap again

You: I'm sorry. I don't know what's happening

Miss. Jenn: It's no big deal. He just wants to be held

You: Thank you for being so patient with him

Miss. Jenn: It's part of my job. Have a great night

You: You as well

Miss. Jenn left the room, and you went to get Caleb

You: Hey little man, you ready to head home?

You picked him up and went back out to Tom

Tom: There's my other little guy. Ready?

You: Yeah. Let's get home, this one's tired

You got everyone into the car and headed home

You: I'm just going to put Caleb down. I'll be back

Tom: Take your time Shortie

You walked up to Caleb's room and started rocking back and forth when you starting singing and Tom came in

You: You are my sunshine, my only sunshine

Tom: You make me happy when skies are grey

You: You'll never know dear, how much I love you

Tom: Please don't take my sunshine away

You: The other night dear, as I lay sleeping

Tom: I dreamt I held you in my arms

Ryker: When I awoke dear, I was mistaken

Haylee: Please don't take my sunshine away

You put Caleb in the crib and went to Haylee and Ryker

You: I love you guys so much. You were my first sunshine's, and always will be
