Taylor's POV
We've been home from France for about three days now and both kids have been so cranky from the jet-lag, so life hasn't exactly been easy and we're all exhausted. Although, we got to FaceTime Karlie's family when we got home and tell them our news and they were so happy for us. I haven't seen them in forever and they haven't met the kids properly yet either, so we're trying to arrange something for Kar's birthday in a few weeks.
"Rosie, go to Mama, honey," I sigh as I look down to Rosie, the little blonde tugging on my shirt to get my attention as I fill the dishwasher. "Mama took Auggie for a nap," she pouts as I close the door and I give her a soft smile as I kneel down to her level, "I need to finish cleaning up in here, sweetheart. Can you hang out in the living room for ten more minutes and then we can do whatever you'd like, alright?" I'd love to be able to drop everything and spend my time with her but if I don't clean then we'd be living in a mess all the time. "Okay, mama," she sighs but runs off to the living room again.
I turn on the dishwasher and clear the counters before cleaning Auggie's bottles and throwing them into the steriliser with his stray pacifiers, and before I go and find Ro, I grab her a snack.
"Alright, ladybug," I give the little blonde a smile as I walk into the room, "do you want these now or later?" I show her the packet of goldfish crackers, "can we play piano first?" I give her a soft smile as I nod, "we'll leave them up here, okay?" Ro agrees so we sit the packet of goldfish on the shelf before going along the hall to the music room. Rosie is enamoured by my career and I've been teaching her to play the piano and a little bit of guitar but she's been finding that a bit harder.
"Will you sing, mama?" The little blonde is swinging her legs as she sits on the piano stool beside me and I smile as I nod, lifting the piano lid and looking to Ro with a slight smirk I start to sing 'Part Of Your World' from The Little Mermaid. Rosie giggles and sings with me and I glance to her every now and then with a soft smile, she's my girl and I'd give the world to see that smile every day.
"Encore, encore," we hear Karlie laughing in the doorway behind us when I'm done and I look to her with a smile as she walks up behind me. "You two are incredible," the model kisses us both on the cheek before picking Rosie up and holding her on her hip. "Auggie is asleep," she hands me the baby monitor as I nod and she kisses Rosie's cheek again, "now I need to go and meet with my new doctor," she gives me a nervous smile as she holds Rosie tight and I get up, bringing her into a kiss as I hold her face. "It'll be fine, Karls, I promise. You just have to be open and honest and let her help you, okay?"
Karlie kept her word and found a therapist as soon as we got home and after she woke up screaming last night, we were both really glad she made this appointment.
"Alright, be good for mama, little monkey," she puts Ro back down on the stool and I run my hand over her little head, "practice for me and I'll be back in just a second, okay?" The little one nods and turns to the piano so I follow Karlie out into the hallway. "We'll be right here when you're done. Then we can make dinner and put the little monkeys down for bed so we can talk, alright?" I drape my arms over her shoulders as she pulls me in by the waist, "this is why I'm marrying you, Swift, our brains are in sync."I pull her into a kiss as I smirk, "I love you, Kloss."
Karlie has been dealing with so much since the shooting and I'm really proud of how she's handled it and of her finding the courage to get the help she needs. She's not okay and she didn't want to admit it at first, but she's ready now and taking the huge step.
"Grab more diapers on your way home?" She laughs as she lets me go but she nods, "yes ma'am," Karlie grabs her purse and her keys and then gives me one last kiss, "you're going to be fine, baby, I love you." I stand at the door as she walks down the drive and Karlie nods, "I love you too."
