Taylor's POV
"Are you sure you've got her?" Karlie rolls her eyes at me as she laughs, "you're all good, right ladybug?" Rosie is sat on her shoulders and Kar is holding her and Ro is holding on but they make me nervous, "yes mama," Rosie nods as she grins and I smile to myself, "your sister is a little daredevil, Auggie," I run my hand over his back as he's cuddled up against my chest in his wrap and Karlie laughs at me.
I keep one hand on August's back as I snake my other arm around Karlie's waist, security walking close to us as we make our way through the crowded streets of this little village. We wanted to venture outside of the villa today and give my parents some time to get over their jetlag without Rosie running around and Auggie crying, so this seemed like a perfect place to visit - not too busy and mainly filled with locals. It's been so nice to just be at peace with the kids, Rosie has loved it here and Auggie doesn't really know what's going on but he's our happy little guy either way.
"Mommy, look how pretty the houses are!" Rosie is enamoured as she walk through the streets of beautiful colourful houses, "they're like rainbows." I smile as I nod, she's so in love with all of the colours and I love the smile on her sweet face. "Look at this, ladybug," Karlie stops by a fountain and lifts Rosie down from her shoulders, "did you know that fountains are magic?" She kneels down in front of Ro as I sit on the edge beside her, "really, Mama?!"
Karlie nods as she holds Rosie's little hands, "do you see the coins in the water?" The little one turns to look and she gives her Mama a soft nod, "well, all you have to do is hold this coin in your hands," she hands Rosie a nickel and the little one nods as she holds it tight, "and now you close your eyes really tight and make a wish in your head." We both watch as she squeezes her eyes shut tight and Karlie gives me a bright smile, "done?" Rosie nods, keeping her eyes shut, "and now you toss it over your shoulder into the water and it'll come true."
I watch as the coin lands in the water with a plop and Rosie opens her eyes to turn and look for it. "I hope my wish comes true," she frowns as she stares into the fountain and I laugh lightly, "I'm sure it will, sweetheart." I meet Karlie's eyes and the model laughs as she pulls Rosie into a squeezy hug, "mommy's right, honey, wishes have a magical way of coming true around this family," she kisses her cheek and I rub Auggie's back, smiling as I look between our two happy kids - this is definitely my wish come true.
Karlie's POV
"Come here, ladybug," Taylor smiles as she sits down, Rosie sitting in her mommy's lap as I turn August away from the street and make sure he's out of the sun as security sits at the next table. One of them kindly retrieved the stroller from the car when we decided to stop for lunch, so Auggie is sleeping peacefully for now, at least until he gets hungry too.
I watch them for a moment as Rosie holds a menu open in front of them, the blonde giggling with our sweet little girl. I don't know how I got here, but I wouldn't change it for a single second - Taylor, Rosie and August, they're my happiness.
"Mama, can we play on the beach tonight?" Rosie pulls me back to reality and I laugh as I look to Taylor, "we'll see," she smirks as she locks onto my eyes, we would do anything to put a smile on Rosie's face and make her happy, that's all we've ever wanted.
The waiter comes over to take our order and I order for the three of us as Taylor let's Ro use her phone to text Cara about the rainbow houses that she's absolutely obsessed with.
"Hello little monkey," August starts to fuss so I quickly retrieve him, pushing my sunglasses up to sit on my head as I smile at my baby boy. "He's probably hungry," Taylor hums as she looks up to me and I nod, "do you want your bottle, Auggie?" I balance him as I reach into the diaper bag, finding his bottle and a thin blanket to cover him so that he's not in the sun.
