Sam: Hey, where's y/n?
Tom: I told you. She's got the night to herself
Sam: Why?
Tom: Her anxiety
Sam: Oh...is she okay?
Tom: I hope so...I really do
Sam: She's strong
Tom: She was about to break...
Robert: Who?
Tom: Y/n. She was not good after that meeting
Robert: What happened?
Tom: They finally have names
Robert: That's progress
Tom: Except it's the two kids they've always had problems with
Sam: What about moving to homeschooling or a different school?
Robert: What about New York? Ryker and Haylee would stay around Liam and Mattie, you would stay around Harrison and y/n around Kristen
Sam: Then Ryan and Olivia start school there, and eventually Caleb as well
Tom: Do you think that could work?
Robert: I do. You can find a great private school, just like this one
Sam: And yes, people are going to know them
Tom: This could help Ryker...
Sam: What?
Tom: Ryker wants to go to NYU and play soccer
Robert: That would help being in New York
Tom: I'll talk to y/n when she comes home
Robert: I have to head out, but I'll be back tomorrow
Tom: Thank you for everything Robert
Robert: Anytime
Robert leaves and Tom starts to put everyone to bed
Liv: Daddy?
Tom: Yes baby?
Liv: Where's mommy?
Tom: She had to work late today
Liv: Will she be home soon?
Tom: I don't know, she just put me in charge of dinner and bedtime
Liv: She'll be here tomorrow, right?
Tom: Yes baby. Now, head to sleep, okay?
Liv: Goodnight daddy
Tom: Night baby
He kissed her forehead, then went to Haylee
Haylee: Is she coming back?
Tom: Yes bubba, she's coming back
Haylee: Is she actually working?
Tom: No, she's just getting herself back
Haylee: What?
Tom: Your mom has severe anxiety, and I gave her tonight to chill. She'll be back, and be okay
Haylee: Promise?
Tom: Promise. Now, head to bed please
Haylee: Night dad
Tom: Night bubba
He kissed her head, then went to the boys
Ryan: Dad!
Tom: Hey. You ready for bed?
Ryan: Mhm
Tom: Okay, climb in and I'll tuck you in
Ryan climbs up and Tom tucks him in
Tom: Night Ryan
Ryan: Night dad
Ryker: Dad?
Tom: Yes bubs?
Ryker: Is mom okay?
Tom: Yes. She just needed a break
Ryker: Are we still home for school?
Tom: Yeah, but I have to talk with mom
Ryker: Okay. Goodnight dad
Tom: Goodnight bubs
Tom turned off the lights and headed downstairs to grab Caleb from Sam
Sam: He's adorable
Tom: He's amazing
Sam: I'll put him down. Y/n should be back soon
Tom: Are you sure?
Sam: Yeah...I have to practice anyway
Tom: Okay, thank you
Sam put Caleb down, and Tom sat on the couch waiting for you to come home. After a while, Tom fell asleep on the couch, and that's how you found him. You grabbed a blanket and curled up next to him, burying your face in his chest, and his arms going around you
Tom: Hey you
You: Hi you
Tom: I have to talk to you
You: In the morning, with no kids
Tom: Okay. You feel better?
You: Even better now that I'm with you
He gave you a kiss and you both fall asleep in each other's arms
