You: Oh good! You guys came!

Harrison: We just got back

Kristen: The apartment still looks great!

Tom: So, no one's trashed it?

Kristen: Nope, it's perfectly fine

You: Speaking of...

Kristen: Are you going to say what I think you are!?

You smile at her and nod

Kristen: Oh my god! YES!

Harrison: What just happened?

Tom: We are moving to New York

You: With you guys

Harrison: That's amazing!

Kristen: Things have gotten that bad?

You: Maybe worse...

Tom: Moving to New York gives them a fresh start, plus Ryker wants to go to NYU anyway

You: And they'll all stay together

Kristen: Your kids moving shouldn't have to do with ours

Tom: Yours were a bonus

Harrison: So, you're really moving?

You: Yeah...it's what's best for our children if we do

Kristen: What about this house?

You: We'll summer here

Tom: And leave the other people here, it's already paid off

Liv: Daddy?

Tom: Yes baby?

Liv: I'm hungry

Tom: Then let's feed your tummy

He picked her up and carried her to the kitchen

Harrison: Livvy's adorable

You: She's a piece of work

Kristen: All kids are though

You: I just hope they don't go through what Haylee and Ryker did

Harrison: Even if they do, look how great Ryker and Haylee are

Kristen: They're strong kids

You: I'm just worried

Kristen: Don't be

Tom comes out of the kitchen with a sleeping Liv

You: She asleep?

Tom: Yeah, turns out it was nap time

You: Oh, my Livvy girl. You want me to put her down?

Tom: I've got her. I want to nap too, why not play with Caleb?

You: The other kids stole him

You all laugh and Tom goes up with Liv

Ryker: Mom?

You: Yes bubs?

Ryker: I just got this...

You: What is this?

Ryker: I'm not sure

You: This looks like a bad attempt at an apology...

Ryker: It doesn't change what happened

You: I know it doesn't. You can just throw it out if you'd like. You don't need to accept it, it's your choice

Ryker: Thanks mom

You: Of course

Haylee: Mom? Can you take Caleb?

You: Yes, give him here

You take Caleb from Haylee, and he lays his head on your shoulder

You: Where are you guys going?

Haylee: Just to the beach, but he was falling asleep

You: Have fun and be careful, please

Haylee: Always

You went up to Caleb's room and sat in the rocking chair. You laid him on your chest and started to rock back and forth. Slowly Caleb fell asleep, along with you

You: Hey...

Tom: Guess you were tired

You: What time is it?

Tom: 5:30

You: Wow, can you grab Caleb, please?

Tom: Already taken care of. Put him down before waking you up

You: You really are the best

Tom: And so are you

You and Tom head downstairs letting Caleb stay asleep

Liv: Mommy!

You: Livvy! How was your nap?

Liv: Good. I was next to daddy

You: Yeah?

Liv: Mhm. Kept me in a hug

Tom: Got to keep my Livvy warm

He pinched her cheeks and you put her down

Liv: I'm going outside!

Tom: She's a piece of work

You: Yeah, but what kids aren't?

Tom: God, I love you

You: And I love you more

Tom: Not possible


Well, that's the end of A New Chapter Begins! I will most likely write an epilogue for a few years in the future and may do some extra bonus chapters as well, but haven't decided that just yet. I hope you all enjoyed reading this series, and I really appreciate all the support from you the readers as well. Thank you so much!! :)
