As I sat down with my sisters—Kylie, Kendall, and Kourtney—for lunch, I felt a mix of excitement and anxiety. There were things on my mind that I needed to talk about, things that I knew they could relate to. Being a mom is complicated enough, but being a *bonus mom*—well, that's a whole different story. I was trying to navigate my new role in Tania's life, and I was hoping they could give me some guidance.

It wasn't the first time I had been in a situation where I was unsure how to act, but this one felt different. It was more delicate. My relationship with Adrian was still relatively new, and Tania, his daughter, was an important part of that. I loved her the moment I met her, and I had made a place for her in my heart, but navigating this family dynamic wasn't as simple as it might seem. There were moments when Tania would slip up and call me "mom," and it would catch her off guard. I didn't want to push her into a situation she wasn't ready for, but I also wanted to make sure I was being supportive of her feelings.

"Sometimes Tania calls me 'mom' by accident," I explained, looking around at my sisters. "And then she gets really shy about it. I just want to know how to handle this without making things awkward."

Kylie took a deep breath, thinking about her own experience with her kids. "I let Ocean and Masina call me whatever they want," she said. "I told them, 'You can call me whatever you're comfortable with—like mom or mommy, if you feel like it—but not because you feel like you have to.'"

I nodded, appreciating her perspective. Kylie's approach seemed so easygoing and open, and I admired that. But it wasn't always that simple, right? Especially when it came to kids and their understanding of family dynamics. I wanted to make sure that Tania didn't feel forced into anything, but I also didn't want to dismiss her feelings if she was ready to call me mom.

"I think it's the same thing with me and the girls," Kendall chimed in, picking up her fork. "In the beginning, we wanted them to understand that I was just their dad's girlfriend. But once I adopted them, they started calling me 'mom.' They said they wanted to call me that, and that was a big moment for us. So, I think you should sit down with Tania and Adrian and just figure out what feels right for her."

I felt a weight lift from my shoulders as I listened to Kendall. She had been in a similar situation, and her advice was both comforting and realistic. It wasn't about pushing Tania into something she wasn't ready for, but it was about having an open conversation and letting her express what she felt was right. I realized that as much as I wanted to be a loving mother figure for Tania, it was important to let her lead the way.

Kourtney, always the voice of reason, added, "Yeah, I agree with Kendall. I think Tania wants you to see her as another daughter, but she doesn't want to force it on you. It's a delicate balance. I think you just need to communicate openly with her and Adrian."

I let out a sigh, grateful for their insight. "I just want to make sure that we're all on the same page. From the moment I met Tania, I made a place in my heart for her, but I'm also conflicted. I don't want to rush anything or make too many changes in her life all at once, you know?"

Kylie gave me a sympathetic look. "I totally get that. But at the end of the day, it's about what's best for her. If Tania feels comfortable calling you mom, then that's great. But if she's not ready yet, then that's okay too. The most important thing is that she feels supported."

Kourtney nodded. "Yeah, and you and Adrian need to be on the same page. If she feels like calling you mom, then you guys have to be okay with that. You don't want her to feel stressed out or confused."

I felt a bit more at ease, but I still wasn't sure about how to start that conversation with Tania. Kendall, however, was right: this was going to come up more as Tania got older and began to better understand her family dynamics. I didn't want to rush anything, but I also didn't want to avoid the conversation either.

"This is the side of blending families that isn't really talked about," Kourtney said, breaking the silence. "The side that's a little awkward."

"Definitely," Kylie agreed. "But it's also one of the most rewarding parts. You're not just building a family with Adrian; you're creating a new family dynamic with Tania too."

Their words stayed with me as I left lunch that day, feeling like I had a better understanding of how to approach things. I needed to talk to Adrian first and make sure we were on the same page about everything before having the conversation with Tania. It wasn't just about me; it was about Tania's comfort level and how she wanted to navigate this new relationship.

The next day, Adrian and I spent some time together, and I decided to bring up the conversation. We were in the middle of a casual moment, playing with dolls and putting on a dance performance with True and Tania. I wanted to ease into the subject without making it feel heavy. After we finished playing, I gently brought it up.

"You remember how you called me 'mom' the other day, and you felt bad about it?" I asked, watching Tania's face carefully.

She looked a little embarrassed. "On accident, I said Koko, mom," she said softly.

I smiled and knelt down to her level. "It's okay, Tania. If you ever feel like calling me mom, you can. My feelings won't be hurt, I promise. I don't want you to feel like you messed up. You're a kid, and you can call me whatever feels right to you, okay?"

"Okay," she said, her eyes widening slightly in relief.

I reached out and hugged her, feeling an overwhelming sense of love. "I'm your mom now, Tania. And I'll always be here for you."

That moment felt so pure, so real, and so comforting. I knew that we had taken the first step toward building something even more beautiful between us. No pressure, just love and understanding.

Later that week, we had a family photoshoot. As I stood there with Adrian, True, and Tania, I couldn't help but feel immense gratitude. I was so happy that Adrian was the person I married. I had gained another daughter, and I couldn't imagine my life without her in it.

This wasn't how I thought my life would look—sometimes it felt like life had thrown me curveballs at every turn—but now that it was my reality, I was beyond grateful. And none of this would have happened without Kassie. I would forever be thankful to her for pushing me to move on from Tristan and allowing me to embrace this beautiful new chapter.

I had finally found my happily ever after, and it was more than I could have ever imagined.
