Dean-
It's been a week since finding out Burt was walking out. We filed a restraining order against him. He was not allowed to come near our home or the kids school. He was not allowed anywhere near me or my work. I couldn't sleep much since finding out, I was afraid to find him walking around our house or outside watching us. Sometimes it felt like someone was watching us. I heard a tiny whimper from the baby monitor. I smiled and looked at the clock, yup right on time. Lexi moved beside me, I stopped her.
"I got them babe", I whispered.
"You sure?", she asked.
"Yeah, you sleep", I whispered, leaving a kiss on her cheek.
I stood and walked into the twins room. Chloe was still asleep. I looked over at Camden, he was kicking at his blanket, impatient. I picked him up and set him on the changing table.
"Man, your mom has her work cut out for her dude. You are exactly like me", I said.
He yawned, I chuckled. After changing him, I lifted him and he wiggled and whined, then he started crying.
"Cam, don't you dare wake up", Chloe started crying.
I sighed.
"Chloe", I finished.
Lexi walked in and yawned.
"I'm sorry, I tried but something is wrong with him. I changed him", I said.
"He's hungry", she said.
"Want me to go get them a bottle?", I asked.
She took Cam and shook her head. She sat down on the couch by the window.
"I forgot to pump before going to bed", she said.
"I'll change Chloe", I said.
Lexi nodded as she fed Cam. I went over to Chloe and looked down at her.
"Now missy, if I pick you up and change you, you have to stop crying and patiently wait your turn for mommy, ok", I said.
Lexi giggled. I gently lifted Chloe and she stopped crying.
"Thank you for cooperating, unlike your brother", I said.
I changed her diaper and held her close, she looked up at me.
"Daddy might get to be champion soon. I'm gonna have this shiny belt, it's been awhile since I've held a belt. Your daddy was the longest reigning US champ, but I gave that up for your mommy and big sister, it was the best decision I have ever made because I got to know what it was like to fall in love and I hope one day you find someone like that, but remember that works both ways kiddo", I said.
I looked over at Lexi and she smiled. I went and sat beside her. I leaned over and kissed her. Chloe started wiggling.
"She's starting to lose her patients", I said.
"Cam is almost done", she said.
"Fucking lucky kid. How long before I get you all to myself again?", I asked.
"Hey you're the one who wanted more babies", she said giggling.
"Yeah one more", I said playfully.
"Jon", she giggled.
"I'm kidding. You know I love our kids, more than anything and I would take a bullet for them and you. You're my world and no one is hurting planet Jon", I said.
She laughed.
"Planet Jon?", she asked.
I nodded and smiled.
"Only special people get to live on planet Jon", I said.
I kissed her shoulder.
"Ok, ready to switch?", she asked.
"Hand him over", I said.
I took Cam and handed her Chloe. I burped him while Lexi fed Chloe. After burping Cam, I went to check on Gracie and Amelia. Amelia was awake, she was talking more now and sometimes she wouldn't stop talking, which Lexi and I didn't mind.
"Hey Lia", I said, walking into her room.
"Hi daddy", she said sweetly.
I sat down beside her.
"Did the babies wake you?", I asked.
"I had to use the potty", she said.
I nodded and kissed her forehead. I tucked her back in and she giggled when I tickled her sides.
"Sleep time lady bug", I whispered.
"Daddy", she said.
"Yeah princess?", I asked.
"Can you stay with me, please", she said.
"Sure, move your little butt over for me", I said.
She giggled and did. She laid close to me and I kissed the top of her head. Headlights flashed in her window, I got up and looked outside. A car I didn't recognize was parked out front. Making sure Lia was fast asleep, I walked out of her room and went downstairs, looking out the front window. The car was gone. I felt a hand on my shoulder, I jumped.
"Jon, what is it?", Lexi asked.
"You scared me", I said.
"Sorry. What's up? Why are you looking out the window?", she asked.
"I saw a car I didn't recognize and just wanted to check it out", I said.
"There's a guard at the front gate remember. He won't let anyone in unless they are visiting or live here and they have his name down on the list to be kept out and they know to call the cops if he shows his face.", she said.
"I know, it, I'm just freaking out, ignore me baby", I said.
I was still looking out the window. I felt her arms wrap around my waist and her lips kiss my shoulder.
"Understandable and I will not ignore you. You moved us here to keep us safe while you're gone and so far it's kept us safe", she said.
I nodded.
"Please come to bed baby, come on", she said, trying to pull on my arm.
"Ok", I sighed.
"Hey, the kids are asleep. You and I are wide awake, you need to relax", she didn't need to tell me twice.
"Oh yeah", I said.
She cupped my face and kissed me.
"Make love to me Jon", she whispered.
"Yes ma'am", I mumbled against her lips.
Lexi-
I heard a little noise from the baby monitor and turned it off. I got up and dressed, Jon was still fast asleep. I leaned over and kissed his forehead. He hasn't been sleeping well since finding out about Burt. I walked into the twins room and picked up a crying Camden. Chloe was still sleeping. I took him downstairs and set him on his bouncer.
"Good morning", Rose said.
"Good morning. Amelia is still asleep?", I asked.
She nodded. I started taking things out for breakfast, Gracie walked in and grabbed a juice box from the fridge.
"Hey missy, good morning to you too", I said.
"Cammy is wiggling in his bouncer", she said.
I nodded.
"Just talk to him, tell him a story like daddy tells you. I'm sure he'll calm down", I said.
She nodded and quickly went into the living room. The doorbell rang and I looked at Rose.
"Are you waiting for someone?", I asked her.
"No", she said.
I nodded and she grabbed the tablet from the counter. She turned it on and showed me the front door. It was a flower delivery man. I went and opened the door.
"Good morning, I have a delivery for a Mrs. Alexandra Moxley", he said.
"Moxley?", I asked.
"Yes ma'am", he said, looking down at his clipboard again.
I shrugged and took the flowers. I signed the paper he showed me and he left.
"Pretty flowers", Gracie said.
"They are, aren't they", I said.
I walked into the kitchen and set them down on the table. Rose came over and sniffed them.
"Did Jon get you these, wow", she said.
I grabbed the tiny envelope that was in the flowers. I opened it.
"Just as beautiful as I remember. We have to finish what we started, see you soon Mrs. Moxley"
I felt a chill run down my spine.
"They're not from Jon are they?", Rose asked.
"Do me a favor and throw these out, don't tell him", I said.
She was about to pick them up.
"Who are those for?", Jon asked.
I bit my lip and Rose didn't look his way either. I felt Jon's fingers brush mine as he took the card from my hands. Rose glanced at him and then so did I. He crumpled up the small paper and threw it away.
"I'm gonna call detective Scott", he said.
"Jon, there is nothing he can do. There is no proof that it was Burt who sent these", I said.
"He called you Mrs. Moxley, that's how Jake introduced me to him using Moxley, that is our proof", he said.
"You know they're not going to see it that way", I said.
He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.
"He must have sent these flowers because he knows he can't get near me. He won't get near me, the girls and I are safe", I said.
He nodded. Amelia came into the kitchen wiping her eyes. She went over to Jon and he lifted her, like Gracie, Amelia turned out to be a daddy's girl. She laid her head on his shoulder and her arms around his neck. Its like she knew he needed a hug, he kissed the back of her head.
"If he contacts you or sends anymore of this crap, we are calling detective Scott and letting him handle this", Jon said.
I nodded and kissed him.
"I'm gonna go check on Chloe. I left her sleeping upstairs", I said.
He nodded and walked over to Rose who was serving breakfast. I walked into the living room, Gracie was talking Camden. She was showing him the wrestlers Jon got her, she placed Roman's action figure in Cam's hand.
"Hey kiddo, breakfast is ready", I said.
"What about Cammy? He's hungry too mommy", she said.
"Jon can you come and get Cam please", I said.
"Sure", he said.
I walked upstairs and getting to the twins room, Chloe was awake.
"Hi princess, were you awake this whole time. You're such a good girl, didn't even cry", I said, picking her up.
I changed her and then went downstairs. Getting to the kitchen, Camden was bouncing away in his bouncer, with every kick of his tiny feet. Jon was smiling at him.
"Cammy", Gracie said.
Cam would stop kicking and look around, Gracie giggled.
"Cammy", she called to him again.
I laid Chloe in her bouncer. I kissed Jon's cheek.
"I love you", I whispered.
He took my hand that was on his shoulder, kissing the palm of my hand.
"Love you more", he said.
I moved behind him and wrapped my arms around his neck. I watched the girls giggle and talk about some cartoon they loved watching.
"Still enough for you?", I whispered to Jon.
He squeezed my hands.
"More than enough", he said.
"I like living on planet Jon", I said.
He chuckled.
"Me too", he said.
