Amy's Pov

The lady gave us our results early, Mark is now my emotional caregiver. She saw how he calmed me down and handled William at the same time. She said he is a perfect fit. Mark had to go to work today to let them know even though he is still on baby leave. His mom was going to come over to help me watch both of them, but she got sick and is staying home.

"Okay, everyone is asleep. This is a good thing." I said sneaking out of the room into the kitchen.

Chica started to paw at the front door.

"What's wrong beek-a?" I looked out of the window and saw a package on the porch. "Again! she keeps buying stuff for the kids." I went out and picked the box up.

I put it on the island and opened it,

"What do you think beek-a, clothes or another stuffy?"

I covered my mouth to stop the screaming from coming out.

"No, it not again."

I pulled the book out of the box, there was a note on top. Before I could read the note my phone went off.

"Hello, kitty."

"No! It can't be you." I felt me knees getting weak.

"Open the book I made for you. I want you to see all the hard work I did."

I slowly opened the book; the pages were filled with more pictures of me.

"How many of these do you have?"

"So, many more. I can't wait for William and Luna to see them."

My heart stopped, he knows their names.

"How is little Luna? Is she catching up to William?"

"How?"

"I have my ways, Kitty, Now we are not going to tell anyone about this phone call or book, or I will send someone into the house. It would be a shame if William's favorite red and blue Dino gets stolen."

"Leave us alone!"

"Your bodyguard is back on his way home, I would get rid of the box and book if I was you."

He started to laugh when the line went dead.

I hid the book with the other one and broke the box down putting it in the pile of cardboard from all the gifts for the kids. When I was done I rushed to the kid's room. I collapsed onto the ground watching them sleep. Chica and Henry both came over to me.

"He knows, he knows so much about them. How does he know the Dino's color? Or that Luna is smaller than William?"

Chica pawed at my hands trying to calm me down.

"What is he going to have me to next?"

Henry laid down on my lap as Chica pawed at the door.

"Amy!" It was from Mark.

"Shit." I wiped my tears and calmed my breathing.

"Amy?" Mark opened the door. "Are you okay?" He sat next to me.

"Yeah, just a little sleepy. They went to sleep 1,2,3."

"That's great. They said that I have to work the last two weeks in office but after that, I am no longer an employee there."

"That's great! Then you can stay with us all day."

Once Mark is home all day, there is no way Kenny can mess with me. Mark will protect me. I just need to put up with this for two weeks.
