Bejeweled- The lucky one season 2

Motherhood

Chapter 13– TLO 2

May 8th

Taylor’s POV

I wake up sweating and run to the bathroom to wash my face, trying to forget that damn dream. It’s the third time I wake up from a dream of being a mom of two blond blue-eyed kids.

Of course I used to have these dreams when I was with Joe but never commented about it. I was ready to take a break after the Eras tour to have kids with him but our relationship wasn’t in the best of times so I kept it for myself. But now I’m alone and nowhere close to having a husband but for some reason my stupid brain keeps thinking about babies.

It’s not that I don’t like kids but I just don’t have a dad for these kids.

I get that’s the damn biological clock working but I’m not good enough for this.

Trying to forget this, I change and go downstairs.

– Hi mom– I say between coughs.

– Oh no, the rain got you cold.

– it’s nothing, mom. It’s just a cough because my throat is dry, so I'm going to drink a glass of water. That 's all. – I say, walking to the kitchen and feeling her following me.

– Sure. I’m making tea for this cough anyway.

I chuckle.

– Okay, mom, thanks.

She puts the tea in front of me a couple minutes later and looks at me all smitten.

– How are you feeling, honey?

– I’m completely absolutely addicted to doing my shows. It’s so much fun, mom! I lost the count of times I’ve been crying from happiness on stage. I’m sure fans have noticed this and made plenty of TikTok’s about it.

Mom laughs and I join her between coughs.

– This tour is healing me inside.

– yeah, I can see this. But you seem exhausted.

– Nah, not really. It’s just I woke up from a weird dream I keep having and it annoys me.

– What the dream is about, sweetheart?

– It’s different dreams but all of them I'm the mom of two blonde blue eyed babies and then there’s tons of situations like them running on the set of my film or playing piggyback with Austin, but never having a father, but I’m always happy and don’t seem like I’m anxious. And it’s not the first time I’m having those. I used to have it when I was with Joe and I was about to tell him about these dreams and planning a break on my career to have kids when we start to fight day after day so I kept it for myself and never told him. At the time I found these dreams cute, but now that I’m single it’s just annoying, I don’t know why they keep happening, I’m not in love with anyone anymore. – I go on a rant and finally look at mom, who’s smiling wide.

– What? It 's not funny!

– No, it’s not funny. It 's beautiful.

I frown my eyebrows but before I can ask something she takes my hand over the table.

– Listen to me, Taylor. This isn’t annoying, it’s your body screaming at you that you are more than ready to be a mom. It’s beautiful how the biological clock works. Every woman wants to be a mom at a certain point. She can choose not to have one, but it’s nature, it’s instinct.

– Yeah but my instincts choose the wrong time. I’m not dating anymore, too late for this.

– You don’t need a man to have a baby these days, honey. – she says and I spill my tea everywhere.
