The Tale Of The Taylor's

Chapter 16

I don't have a reason to cry

And I have every reason to smile

And I don't have a reason to lie

When you're already reading my mind

And I don't have a reason to be, if I can't be with you

And I don't need air in my lungs, if I can't sing your song

No, I don't need hands if I don't get to keep you warm

And I don't really need myself, if I don't need you

Cause darling I wake up just to sleep with you

I open my eyes so I could see with you

And I live so I can die with you - Fatima sung lowly, as she rubbed up and down the back of a sleeping Xi.-

It has been four days since Zac left, he had an away game against the Golden State Warriors. This was the final game of the season and the Los Angeles Lakers lost the playoffs. Zac is suppose to be coming back home tomorrow, but he decided to get a early flight home to surprise Fatima. Fatima is currently in her and Zac's bedroom. Xi, Italy, and Jr. are all sleeping on the bed cuddled up under Fatima. Jr. laid on the left side of Fatima, as Italy laid on the right. With Xi stretched out across her legs.

And I don't really need these fingers, if I don't get to touch your spine

Well I don't need these legs, if I ain't walking by your side

And I don't really need to be if I can't be with you -Fatima continued to sing, before she was interrupted by the sound of footsteps-

Zac : (walking into the bedroom) Hey beautiful, you look so gorgeous. You missed me? - he says as he looks at Fatima, smiling-

Fatima : -smiles back at him- Hey baby, you startled me. -she says as she begins to laugh- I missed you so much. Keep it down though, my babies just went to sleep.

Zac : Okay, mama bear. (he joked as he walked over to her, he begins to kiss her)

Fatima : (deepening the kiss as she let's out soft moans)

Zac : (pulling away from the kiss) I missed you too, T. I came home early to my babies, I missed y'all so much. You tryna get bent over I see. - he says as he kisses each one of the kids-

Fatima : -laughs- I'm just glad that your home and that your safe. I'm sorry about your game. (she says as she looks at him)

Zac : -taking off his clothes- It's okay Ti. I'm not upset at all, I'm actually happy. You know why I'm happy?

Fatima : No, tell me. - she says as she sends a text to the girls-

Zac : I'm happy because even though I lost tonight, I'm still a winner in the end. I'm a winner tonight because I get to come home to a gorgeous ass queen, two handsome ass princes, and one beautiful little princess. You four make me a winner tonight.

Fatima : - smiles- Baby, that's so sweet of you my love. I'm so in love with your sexy ass.

Zac : I'm in love with you too Ti. I heard you singing when I was walking in the house. You sounded so beautiful, I haven't heard you sing like that since you use to sing in the church choir. What were you singing?

Fatima : Thank you baby, and I was singing Die With You by Beyoncé. I started singing that song after I had Italy. I went through postpartum really bad and it was just me and Italy; in my apartment. I didn't feel like I was beautiful and I felt like I wasn't cut out to be a mother. I had so much love for my baby but I lost the love I had for Fatima. Nights when Italy would cry and she wouldn't sleep, I would sing to her. That song really resonated with me back then, because Italy was my only reason for living. Nobody knew I was suffering. I pretty much stayed to myself and didn't come around as much. When Italy was around three months, I started going to therapy. It helped me a lot, along with singing. I was slowly pulling myself out of that dark place. When we got together I was still in the process of getting back to my old self. You made me feel loved again and it made me fall deeper in love with you. -she says as she begins to cry-
