The Tale Of The Taylor's

Chapter 5

The next morning, Zac was woken up by Italy. Her mother still laid sleeping peacefully in bed. Italy slept on Zac's bare chest all night. He was finally able to get her to sleep at 3 AM. It is now 7:30 in the morning and Zac is awake with a screaming Italy.

Zac : - getting out the bed with Italy- What's the matter pretty girl? - he says holding Italy face to face with him- You smell that? That's the smell of some grown woman shit. You did your grown woman shit I see.

Italy : - laughs at Zac -

Zac : Oh, you think that's funny pretty girl? Let's try to wake up mommy. - he says walking over to the other side of the bed tapping Fatima - Ti, baby get up. Ti, get up. Italy did a blow out. - nudging her again- Your ass have never been a heavy sleeper. You over here counting fucking sheep though. - looks at Italy- I guess Zac, your new best friend will be bathing you today.

Zac took Italy back into her nursery. He stripped her free of her ruined grey and white onesie. He took her into her bathroom. He made sure the water in her plush - pink blooming lotus bath sink pad was warm. Once the water was warm, he put Italy in the water. Waiting for the water to fill up in Italy's bathtub, he talked to her.

Zac : Pretty girl, your mommy breath stinks. When she talks, it's like you are getting hit by a ring of fire.

Italy : - smiles and kicks water on Zac -

Zac : Yo, no way you just splashed me. I thought we were the best of buddies. - begins to sing do you want to build a snowman in a high pitch girly voice - Do you want to build a snowman? Come on let's go and play!

Italy : - starts cooing at Zac -

Zac : - laughs- My singing is horrible right? I know, but let's get you clean and smelling fresh.

Zac washed Italy clean, with her baby wash cloth. He used Johnson's Head to Toe wash and Shampoo. He even washed her hair, making sure to be gentle around her soft spot in her hair. Once she was all clean, he wrapped her up in her pink baby bath towel. He took her back into her nursery. Zac laid her down on her changing table. He dried Italy off, and applied lotion to her body. He used Johnson's baby lotion and baby gel to moisturize Italy's face and skin. He put her on a Nike baby onesie that was hanging up in her closet. Going over to her bow rack, he found the perfect pink headband to match the outfit. He tried to slick Italy's thick curly hair down like Fatima does as well. After getting Italy dressed, he walked back into Fatima's room.

He laid Italy in her bassinet in Fatima's room. Then he went into Fatima's bathroom with his duffle bag. Doing a quick morning routine with the items he packed last night. Speeding up the process when he heard Italy crying again. He picked Italy back up and took her into the kitchen with him. He sat her in her Minnie Mouse baby swing. He found his way around Fatima's kitchen and decided to make her breakfast in bed.

He made her cinnamon French toast sticks, grits with sugar, black pepper, and cheese, fluffy eggs with salt and pepper, turkey bacon, and turkey sausage. He finished off her breakfast by making her a fruit cup with strawberries, mangoes, blueberries, and kiwi's. He grabbed the breakfast tray out of Fatima's kitchen cabinet, loading it up with her breakfast food. He poured her a glass of organic orange juice to go along with her breakfast. He made Italy a warm breast milk bottle, with soft cooked eggs, and smashed up bananas. He took Fatima's food to her first, leaving Italy in her swing.

Zac : (setting the food down on the nightstand) Ti, baby, I made you some breakfast food. You have to get up baby. - he says walking over to Fatima's side of the bed- Ti, I see you smiling in your sleep. I will tickle you if you don't get up.

Fatima : (laughs) Okay, I'm up. Good morning to you too. - she says as she sits up in the bed-

Zac : -smacks his lips - Yo, you play all day. How long have you been up?
