Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince

67. I Think (S)he Knows

March 2020

Y/n's POV

Now that I was finally back I could not believe everything that I had missed. All of our friends and family spent time telling me everything as well as spending lots of time with our new baby.

I couldn't believe Taylor and I had a baby and I missed so much of her pregnancy I have a lot of guilt about it all. I was of course happy to be here now and able to remember everything but in a funny way it felt like I was still getting to know Taylor even if I've known her for over ten years now. She still makes me as nervous as she did the first day I met her she was and still is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen.

Everyone wanted to make sure Taylor and I were okay. So they were making sure to help out in any way that they can. We basically had a full house as we were all practically quarantining together with the new COVID pandemic going around. As much as I was grateful for everyone's help I was dying for some alone time with Taylor.

"Hey baby are you okay?" Taylor asks me breaking me from my train of thought.

I look at her smiling before saying "yeah I'm great just wish we could be alone." I whisper the last part leaning closer to her.

"Really?" She says with a smirk and places her hand on mine as she leans closer.

"Yeah it's just been a while you know." I say nervously.

We both lean in before someone comes in making us both jump back.

"Little Marjorie just fell asleep so she'll be good for a couple hours before it's time for her to eat again." Andrea says before looking between us and giving us a strange look.

"Thanks so much mom I really can't thank you enough for helping me rest after the hospital." Taylor says as she gets up to hug her mom.

They both end up whispering to one another before walking away together leaving me alone with my curiosity.

"Hey Y/N how are you feeling?" Scott asks me as he walks in from the direction where Taylor and Andrea went. 

"I'm good a little disoriented still sometimes but much better." I say honestly.

"You look great I'm happy we have been here to make sure you and Taylor rest and eat." He says and it makes me smile truly appreciating it.

"Yeah I am very thankful to you and Andrea and my parents of course." I say remembering they have been helping too but they were out grocery shopping right now.

A lot of our friend have been in and out but recently they  left to spend some time with their families, leaving just Taylor and I with our parents which made it a little less crowded and loud which I was happy about.

Soon after my parents came back and they were cooking in the kitchen with Scott and Andrea.

I decided to go check on Marjorie and sit in her room just watching her sleep. I smiled thinking how sweet she looks it is truly amazing that she came from Taylor and I.

"You're so sweet little one." I say whispering not wanting to wake her.

Taylor then walks in being as quiet as she can and sits next to me. She wraps her arm around me rubbing my back in a comforting way.

"Hey" she says smiling at me

"Hi" I say smiling back, I blush lightly under her stare.

"Our parents were telling me a little idea they had." She says

"What is it?" I ask curious.

"They were suggesting we take a little getaway to be alone together. We could take my private jet back to New York and spend some time in my apartment. We could even visit Soph, Dan and Sam before we come back." She says

"Really what about Marjorie?" I ask

"They'll take care of her but we won't be gone long." She says easing my concern.

"That would be amazing!" I say enthusiastically.

Taylor then smiled and leans in kissing me briefly before saying " better get ready then we will be leaving tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" I say shocked

Taylor just nods and laughs as she leaves me speechless.

........

An hour later we are all eating dinner at the table together while Taylor feeds Marjorie next to me. Once she finishes eating Taylor hands her to me so I can burp her and then she can eat. Once I've burped her I hold her just admiring her. She was truly beautiful.

"Taylor did you tell Y/n about our idea?" My dad asks her.

"Yeah I did" she says

"Yeah thank you guys so much for the consideration I really can't thank you all enough." I say genuinely

"Of course sweetie there is nothing to thank us for." My mom says

" yeah we are happy to help and of course watch after our granddaughter." Scott says

I continue rocking Marjorie and smiling at her.

"She is beautiful just like her mom." I say grinning at Taylor.

"Oh really which one?" Taylor says looking at me making me laugh.

"Very funny but you know I'm talking about you." I say

I look up and see our parents smiling at us. It warms my heart honestly having us all here like a family. Things finally just feel perfect like I've been waiting for this my whole life.

We all finish dinner and start cleaning up while Taylor takes Marjorie back from me to take her to bed. I help clean before running up to catch them before she is asleep. I thank everyone and wish them a goodnight.

I make it to Marjorie's room and see Taylor still rocking her to sleep. The sight gave me butterflies, seeing my wife ... wait my girlfriend with our child was a sight. Before walking in I realized she wasn't my wife yet and decided to go back down and talk to Taylor's parents to get this right.

"Y/n you're back so soon, I thought you went to bed." Andrea says.

"Yeah I was but I realized something, if I can talk to you and Scott really quickly?" I ask

"Yeah of course" she says as she waved to Scott to follow us.

"Is eveything alright?" She asks

"Yeah and I hope it all will be but since Taylor and I will be going tomorrow I wanted to ask you guys before leaving if I can ask you just one more time for a chance to make Taylor my wife?" I ask nervously.

Andrea starts to tear up before grabbing me and giving me a hug, Scott then joins us.

"Of course sweetie you didn't even need to ask us anymore." She says

"True you're already a part of the family" Scott says making me smile.

"Thank you! I promise I'll take care of her always and Marjorie." I say

"We know" Andrea says as she pulls me into her again.

I smile knowing I'd finally be able to ask Taylor to be my wife.
