it's been a week since we've moved to the hamptons and everyday has been amazing. we minimized our staff and already i feel safer. we payed for the house in cash so shawn couldn't track our transactions.

we have a beautiful nursery for violet-grace with everything she needs and a small mattress incase if i want to spend a night with her in there. there's a rocking chair so i could rock her to sleep and it's just amazing and really fucking cute.

we have a beautiful marble kitchen that i'm absolutely in love with, an amazing backyard with an in-ground pool that's brick, and in my bedroom i have a balcony with an ocean view. i know, i know, why do you have a pool if you can just go in the ocean? well, it just feel safer than going to the ocean where i can easily be abducted. paranoid, i know.

but i honestly really love the area we live in. the security is great and it's really lovely. i feel like we could live here peacefully for a few years.

it's been five years, and over time, i felt my anxiety go down and i've been at peace with my mind.

since then, grayson and i have had two more kids, a little boy, asher gray dolan (after grayson) who is three, and a little girl, catherine rose dolan (after my mom) who is also three. yes, we had twins! i was so happy, when i found out. when they were born, my parents, natti, and my friends flew over to stay with us for a while. i don't think i've ever been happier than when the twins were born (i mean, i was happy when violet was born, but i was so stressed that i couldn't feel happy).

currently, we're having breakfast and grayson just came into the kitchen. "morning guys!" he smiles and kisses each of the kids, before kissing me. "morning, gorgeous."

"morning, handsome. how'd you sleep?" i ask as i sip on my coffee.

"amazing, as always, but someone was there to wake me." he pouts as he wraps his arms around me and kisses my cheek.

"you looked so peaceful, i didn't want to disturb you, besides, i had to start on breakfast and wake the kids." i tell him and he nods before kissing me again.

"by the way, your phone has been blowing up like crazy. there's three missed calls from an unknown number. on the fourth call, i answered and as soon as they heard my voice they ended the call. i tried calling back but it went straight to voice mail." i freeze. can it be? it's been five years, why would he call? "weird, right?"

"mhmm, really weird." i try shaking off the thought.

"anyways, what's for breakfast? daddy is hungry!" he says and i giggle.

"there's pancakes." i tell him and he looks like an excited little boy.

"i love pancakes! baby, you're the best!" he smooches me and i giggle.

"daddy, i like pancakes too!" asher points out.

"i like them more than you, ash!" cate says and shoves some in her mouth. gray and i share a laugh.

"that's amazing, guys, i'm glad you do." he smiles at his kids. "did you guys say thank you to mommy?" they all nod like good little kids and i giggle.

"mommy, i'm tired!" violet says and i furrow my eyebrows.

"why? you were just sleeping." i ask, puzzled.

"i don't feel good so i'm tired!" she pouts and gray and i share a concerned look.

"here, let me see," i say and walk over to her and feel her forehead. "oh, wow, you're burning up." i caress her face and pull her close to me. i turn to grayson. "should we take her to the doctor?"
