Third Person POV:

"Ready, Ma'am?" One of Scarlett's men asked as more security guards followed up. "Just need to the stroller out, in case Cosmo gets tired." Scarlett comments as she helps the girls out. "I got it. Bug, can you hold on to Mommy for a minute?" Y/N asks Cosmo and watches his little run to his mom. "God, why is it that heavy? Or is it just me?" Y/N comments as they struggle. "Let me help, ma'am." One of the guards offered. "Please don't use ma'am. Go with the prefix Mx. please. But thanks." Y/N adds as they get the stroller situated. "Pardon?" He confusedly questioned. "I go by they/them, so please go by my preferred prefix." Y/N comments by finishing getting Cosmo's emergency bag. "Oh my apologies, Mx.?" "Rodiguez. We're good to go here."

As they reach the entrance of the aquarium, Scarlett notices that Y/N's soldier instincts are resurfacing. "Love?" She checks in, having Rose by her side. Cosmo's in his stroller and Elena is on Y/N's side. "Yeah?" Y/N responds, scanning their surroundings. "You can relax, love. We have security with us for a reason. That reason is for you to relax and enjoy your birthday. Let me spoil us." Scarlett shares as they head to the first section of sea animals. "You're right, it's just my paranoia. I now have a family to protect." Y/N comments with tensed shoulders. "Look, I love you for always protecting us but let me protect you. Thank you for thinking about us but also think about yourself. It's your birthday, today. Relax, love, just for today." Scarlett adds, moving Rose between the adults. "I can do that." Y/N signs in relief.

From sea otters to giant Japanese crabs, the kids are finally sleepy after their sugar rush. The adults are also ready to leave after spoiling the kids at the gift shop. "Mx. Rodiguez, Ms. Johansson? We have a situation outside but we're getting our backup ready. So let's head to the back exit. Don't worry about your car, Ms. Johansson. We'll get your car to Mrs. Olsen's residence." Ray informs the couple. "What's the situation?" Scarlett questions as they start to follow Ray, who's the head of security. "Paparazzi." Ray gives out a short explanation. "Ok hold on." Y/N stops and kneels down to face the kids. Getting looks from strangers. "Loves?" Getting their attention. "Mami, que esta pasando?" Elena asks. "English mija. We have the rude cameramen outside." Y/N explains as they scan the kids' faces. "Ok, I put extra sweaters in Cosmo's bag, in case this happened." Rose adds, getting them out of the bag. "God I love my kid." Scarlett proudly comments. "I'll hold Cosmo, Is Amy here? I thought she was going to join us." Scarlett asks Ray. "She's waiting for us at the back exit." Ray answers as he gets the stroller. "Girls, ready?" Y/N checks in. Earning a worried yes. "Remember to breathe and hold on to me, I got you." Y/N adds, standing up. "We got this" Scarlett insures her family. "I love you. I love you all." She adds as they continue heading to the exit.

Normal POV:

Ray and his team are impressive. Professional, put together. And three steps ahead. I hate putting my girls into this but it's a part of Scarlett's life. Having my girls on each side is actually comforting and also helps that Scarlett is ahead of me. I need her where I can see her and my Cosmo. We reach the exit when I see Amy, finally a familiar face. "Scarlett, Y/n/n are you both ok?" Amy checks in. "You got them, Amy?" Ray looks for approval. "Yes, thank you I can take it from here." "Good, stay safe we'll meet soon." Ray walks back to the entrance. Getting more glances from others. "Let's get this amazing family home." Amy joins Scarlett's side as David joins my side. "Nice to see you again y/n/n." "Good to see your forehead or should I say fivehead?" teasing, seeing my friend for the first time in some time. "Ready?" David checks in with everyone. "Greenlight." As the door opens, we still get screams. But by the sound, it's just a man.

"CAPTAIN" "Y/N" "LET US SEE THE CHILDREN"

"SCARLETT" "BEAUTIFUL" "WHORE"

"THE CHILDREN, PLEASE." "JUST ONE PIC"

I hate this. God if the kids weren't here, I would've gotten a little piece of this shit of a man.

"LET'S SEE AN AMAZING FAMILY." "COME ON, LET US SEE THE GIRLS."

"David, get the girls in the car and let them leave, I need a minute with this man. Get a background check on this guy." I let David know. "Scar, I'm sorry. Get the kids home. I need a word with this man. He crossed the line. I love you, see you in a minute." Looking at my love's worried face. "Don't do anything you'll regret, stay safe. I love you." Scarlett comments with a kiss goodbye. I wait until the car turns the corner. The man is still screaming,  David and I head to this white man. "An exclusive, I see." He confidently comments. Smelling like urine, cigarettes, and liquor. "Drunk during the job?" Air quoting his activities. " What's your name, sir? And no camera, let's do this old school." David adds, scanning him up and down. "Matt, my name is Matt. God this is going to be amazing." Matt slurred his words. "Matt, ok. Well, let's see Matt. You just called a mother a whore and then you continued insisting on pictures from minors." I continue, looking for his dilated eyes. "I did, so what? I mean there were 3 kids. Common sense." Matt can't keep eye contact. "Well you just insulted my family, but you're drunk. So nothing matters to you, right?" Getting closer to his face. "You get it. Hey, back off." Pushing me back and the looks of it, a horrible punch. Invitation, that's what I was looking for. "Well Matt, you just put my family in endanger while being under the influence. This is called public intoxication for your information. And this is now physical assault." Tripping him over. "This is your exclusive story, ready? You're under arrest for, like MAJOR Y/N Rodriquez, said public intoxication, verbal and physical assault." David, who is recording and called back up, is arresting this man. This might be the greatest birthday I have ever gotten for myself. 

A/N: Sorry for the time skip, but I still planning for an aquarium date in the future. 

From experience, if you're a female, please invest in a self-defense tool. Men are creepy. Stay Safe.
