A New Chapter Begins...Again

f i f t y - t w o

You: Baby girl, you're okay

Haylee: I know I'm okay, but I feel like nothing. I feel like I'm not supposed to be happy. All of my "friends" turned their backs on me...I'm alone...

You: You are not

Haylee: Really? Because it sure feels like it...

You: You have us. You always have—

Tom: And always will

Haylee: Dad...

She broke down even more and wrapped herself around Tom burying her face in his chest

Tom: I've got you bubba

You: I'll check on the other kiddos

You left Tom and Haylee to see the others having breakfast

You: Hi mommy

Liv: Hi booger

Ryan: Here mom...

You: Thank you. Did you all help dad?

Ryker: It's just like our Saturday mornings...

You: Of course, it is

Ryan: I put the fruit together

You: Did you?

Ryan: Mhm. Ryker cut them and I put them all together

You: Wow...you both did a wonderful job

Sam: Morning!

You: Hey, here's breakfast, take what you want

Sam: Thanks...where's my favorite goddaughter?

You pointed behind him

Sam: What happened this time?

You: Same thing as last time. She'd love to see you

Sam: I'll be back

Sam left and eventually Tom came in

You: Everything okay?

Tom: It will be

You: We need to talk about their future

Tom: Later. I already have an idea that you might like

You: I'm all ears for any idea at this point

You had cleaned up breakfast and started to get ready for your beach day

Haylee: Mom?

You: Hey...what's up?

Haylee: I need your help

You: Okay

Haylee walked upstairs with no other word, so you just followed

You: What's up?

Haylee: I can't tie this...

You: This still fits you?

Haylee: I haven't grown much since I got it

You: Turn around, I'll tie it for you

You tied the bathing suit and gave her a hug

You: You okay now?

Haylee: Yeah. I guess I just needed to breakdown for me to finally feel better

You: I'm glad you're feeling better

Haylee: Me too...

Haylee went downstairs and you got yourself ready. As you finish tying your suit, you feel arms wrap around your waist

Tom: I love when you wear this

You: Oh yeah?

Tom: Yeah, makes you look even more beautiful than you already are

You: Thanks Spidey

Tom: Can I tell you my idea now?

You: Sure, what is it?

Tom: We move to New York with the Osterfield's

You: ...what?

Tom: Look Ryker wants to go to NYU, he'd stay in the apartment anyway, and the kids can stay together

You: What about the other people who live here?

Tom: They can stay. We've paid it off anyway. I already looked into private schools, and there's a great one 30 minutes from the apartment

You: You think it could help?

Tom: Yeah. We can stay there for the school year, and spend the summer here

You: You really thought this through, didn't you?

Tom: I needed to have all the facts and information to present to you

You: I think it's a good idea

Tom: You do!?

You: Yeah, then Ryan and Olivia won't have to deal with this school. Ryker and Haylee will stay with Liam and Mattie, so they'll know them starting school. And we don't have to live away from our best friends...

Tom: I'm so glad you're on board with this

You: I want what's best for our children, and moving to New York full time will be best

Tom held you tighter and you leaned back enjoying the moment

Liv: Are you coming!?

Tom: Yes, Livvy. We're coming

Hi readers! I'm sorry for making you all wait so long. I decided to take a break for a while, as school for me was starting to become a lot to handle. I hope everyone is doing well and had a great holiday season for whatever you celebrate! This particular story is sadly coming to end, there will be one more part then an epilogue with possible bonus chapters. It was quite a journey being able to do something that I found oddly relaxing. I hope you all continue reading the stories that I write! Also, please look at my other account which I have put in the comments. I started a new one because I wanted to write stories that didn't have to do with Tom Holland, so I will be posting on both. Thank you for all your support!! :)
