99.

One week later, we finally returned home from Disneyland and it was an exciting time for all three of us. Life finally started to feel perfect for the first time in forever.

While Joe and I started to pack our belongings, his phone started to ring constantly from an unknown number. As the number was anonymous and upon picking it up, there was no voice on the other end. It was dead silent.

Of course, Joe began to shrug things off and we continued packing our belongings as usual. After an hour passed, we made sure that Alani's diaper was changed and we made sure everything was prepared before we boarded the private jet.

Joe
Disneyland was one for the books, and I couldn't be anymore happier. Although the one concern that occurred throughout my head was that random number. I always assumed that it was a telemarketer or a spam number calling my phone and I brushed it aside with a small shrug.

After the three of us boarded the flight, I was excited to head back home and relax for the next few weeks until I had to visit the WWE Medical Staff in order to determine whether or not I was ready to compete inside of the ring once again.

"You ready, babe?"

Chloe looks at me with a nod and we take our seats inside of the private jet. While we were relaxing and taking in the moment of glancing outside of the window to seeing a gorgeous Californian sunset, it was one of the best memories I've ever had with Chloe; and an amazing first family trip that included our daughter.

Hours later, we returned back at the house and Emma was asleep on the couch with Zeus curled up at her feet. After her eyes started fluttering open to realizing that three figures were walking around inside of the house, she immediately began to panic.

"Who's there? I'll fucking kill you!"

I laughed, "Emma, relax! It's just us."

She paused and slowly lowered the frying pan that was in her hand, "Oh. I'm so sorry! I thought you guys were burglars, and..."

"Girl, you need to stop stressing yourself out to death!"

Silence began to strike the room as Emma lowered her head in defeat. The deafening silence was concerning as she looked as if she was contemplating on what to tell us.

"Emma? Girl, are you okay?"

"Actually Chloe, I need to talk with you and Joe once Alani goes to sleep."

"Is everything okay?" Chloe asked.

"I'll explain to you two once I get inside of the den, alright?"

The both of us just replied with a sudden nod, not saying a word in return. While Chloe successfully managed to make Alani fall asleep for the evening, Emma still had a look of freight on her face. She was always this happy-go-lucky type of woman; but this time, she was not.

We all three made our way into the den and sat down on the couch and looked over at a concerned Emma.

"What did you wanna talk to us about, Emma?" I asked.

She attempted to speak but was met with silence as she struggled to find the words, "So while you three were gone from the house for awhile, I stayed here for the week to also keep Zeus company and decided to watch a movie with him on the television. But what happened next was terrifying as I noticed a figure was looking into the window. I couldn't tell if it was a man...or a woman? I don't know! I didn't want to say anything while you guys were enjoying your first family vacation. A-And..." She says, hiding her face as her fingers ran through her head in distress as she started to pause on her words.

"What?" I interrupted, "But we have security footage everywhere, Emma."

"I forgot that you two did, but I always made sure that the entire house was on lockdown whenever I'm here, and when I'm not."
