Principal: Mr. and Mrs. Holland, my friend Mike found some answers

Tom: We're all ears

Principal: I found that it was sent from the school's server, making it a little more challenging, but I have a couple names

You: Which are?

Mike: Mason and Chase, do those names sound familiar?

Tom: What are their last names?

Principal: Mason Smith and Chase Johnson

You: They grew up with Ryker and Haylee

Principal: Through school?

Tom: Yes, this school actually. Ryker and Haylee have been here since kindergarten

You: And we were planning on enrolling our other kids, but now we're unsure

Principal: I ensure you both, we will figure this out

You: What will you do with this information?

Principal: We will be looking further into who sent it then discipline will be in order

Tom: Thank you

You and Tom left his office, and headed out to the car

Tom: You alright?

You: Mhm

Tom: No, I can see it, talk to me

You: I just wish we could figure this out

Tom: We will, and now you have names

You: I can't do much more than what they did

Tom: Doesn't hurt to try

You: I don't want to Spidey. My anxiety has been really high lately

Tom: Why didn't you tell me?

You: Because we don't have time to fix me

Tom: I can make time for you

You: We have 5 kids who need us to be there, plus the Osterfield's are slowly moving out, Ryker and Haylee graduate soon, Ryan and Liv start kindergarten next year, Caleb keeps us on our toes constantly, and this whole picture drama...

Tom: Hey, why don't you take the night off? I'll ask Robert to stay a little longer. You need to relax because I can see it in your face...you're going to break soon

You: I can't ask you to do that—

Tom: I'm telling you that's what's happening, and you're going to go along with it, okay?

You: ...okay, fine. Thank you

Tom: Anything for you

You pull up to the house and Tom heads inside without you

Tom's POV:

Liv: Daddy!

Tom: Livvy! How was your day?

Liv: Boring

Tom: I'm sorry. Do you know where Uncle Robert is?

Liv: With Ryker

Tom: Okay. You hang with Aunt Val, make sure she has fun

Liv: Okay!

Tom went upstairs to find Robert

Robert: Thomas!

Tom: Hey, can I talk with you?

Robert: Yeah, what's up?

Tom: Are you able to stay a few extra hours?

Robert: Of course, I can, why?

Tom: Y/n's anxiety is really high, and I told her to take the night off

Robert: I've got your back, no worries

Tom: Thank you, Robert

Tom headed back downstairs

Liv: Hi daddy

Tom: Livvy, do you want to help daddy cook?

Liv: What about Haylee?

Tom: Sure, go get her and we can get started

Liv runs up to get Haylee and comes back

Tom: Hey bubba

Haylee: Hi dad

Tom: You alright?

Haylee: Mhm

Tom: I'll talk with you later, let's just make dinner

Haylee: What are we making?

Liv: Pasta!

Tom: Sure, Livvy

They started making dinner for everyone

Sam: It smells amazing in here!

Liv: We made dinner!

Sam: Where's y/n?

Tom: Gave her the night off

Sam: That was nice of you

Haylee: Is mom okay?
