- I forgot I had this started in my drafts if it doesn't really make sense it's because of that.
Taylor had been on tour in Singapore for a week now, previously having been in Australia. It was the day after the night 3 concert and she now had 2 off days before doing another 3 concerts back to back. Her girlfriend of 5 years, Lila, was back home in the city of New York because of her job, she was the creative director at HBO. And not to mention she also stayed back because of their six year old son, Parker. Parker was born about 5 months after the couple had met each other. It had been a while ride but the girls fell in love and they wouldn't have had it any other way.
Lila hadn't heard from Taylor since the day before when Taylor called her before she made her way to the stadium. She had been desperately trying to get Taylor to answer the phone but she hadn't had any luck.
That day Parker had woken up with really bad stomach pains. He had woken up Lila screaming and crying in pain. She had given him some medicine but even that didn't really work. So now she was gathering her bag so she could take her son to the emergency room.
"I want to call mommy" Parker said, his eyes teary. "Okay baby, let's see if she answers."
She rang Taylor for what felt like the 50th time and still no answer. "We'll try again in a bit okay baby? Let's get going."
They had been admitted into a room two hours later. "I don't feel so good mama."
"I know baby but the doctors here are gonna check you out and see what's wrong and then they'll fix you up. Why don't we try to call mommy again?" Parker nodded.
And again Taylor didn't answer. Lila was starting to get pissed. Taylor never let her go to voicemail and if she did she would call her right back. And even in her days off tired and all, Taylor would still answer her phone calls. So why wasn't she answering now.
There was a knock on the door, both Lila and Parker looked over to the door and in walked a doctor. "Hello, I'm doctor Olsen. I'll be taking care of Parker tonight. The lab results came back and it appears that it is appendicitis. We will be prepping the o.r so we can take care of it quickly. You'll be feeling so much better soon little bud. Maybe your mommy will let you have ice cream for dinner for the whole week." He smiled at Parker and then handed some papers to Lilian.
Once the doctor left the room, Panic settled in Parkers face. "I'm so scared mama. I want to go home." His eyes watering. "I know baby, I know. But it has to happen in order for you to get better."
She tried to call Taylor again and just like the times before, no answer. She finally decided to call Tree, although she wasn't sure if the red head was with her. It was worth a try. "Hello? Lila?"
"Oh my god Tree! Thank you for answering, I've been calling Taylor and she hasn't been answering me. Parkers going into surgery for appendicitis. Do you know where she's at? Can you tell her to call me?"
"Parkers going into surgery?"
"Yes, it just happened so suddenly he was just complaining about his stomach and nothing seemed to work. Do you know where Taylor is?"
"She's out at a party I think. Let me see if she'll answer me. I'll call you back in a bit."
"Alright. Thanks."
A fucking party.
Lila got a text from Tree a few minutes later, her phone died she's on her way back to the hotel and she'll call you from there.
Thirty minutes had passed and they had taken Parker to the o.r after some deal making between the mom and son. Parker was now allowed to have ice cream at whatever time he wanted for a whole week after the surgery.
Her phone rang.
It was Taylor.
"Hey, I am so sorry. What happened?"
"I get your on tour and you're free from me and Parker but the least you could do is keep your phone charged, especially when you are so far away. It's 9pm currently and I've spent all day trying to contact you. There's no way your phone has been dead all day. What the fuck Taylor. Do you know where I am at right now? No, you don't. I am currently in a hospital room waiting for Parker to get out of surgery. Would you like to know why he's in surgery?"
Taylors face color drained. "What happened to Parker?"
"Appendicitis. That's what happened. Fuck Taylor you don't know how awful this feels. Especially being alone."
"I am on my way home. I promise to talk about this when I get there. I love you okay? Please tell Parker that I love him and I'll see him so soon when he gets out. I am so sorry baby, I really am."
"Just get here Taylor. I love you."
Just about an hour later Parker was taken to the pediatric floor of the hospital. Everything went smoothly. He was still sleeping, dr. Olsen told Lila that he would most likely sleep through the night. The nurses prepped the couch for Lila to sleep in for the night.
The next morning Parker was awake and was feeling irritable. Lilas whole body ached, that was the most uncomfortable sleep she's ever had. "How are you feeling honey?"
Parker looked at her with the most tired eyes. You'd think that after a whole nights sleep he wouldn't be tired but Lila couldn't blame him. "Are you hungry?" He shook his head no.
"Is mommy coming?"
Lila smiled, "yes, she's on her way baby. I think she might be here in a few minutes."
And just five minutes later there was a knock on the door. They both looked at the door and in walked Taylor. Lila could practically see the tiredness disappear from Parkers face. "Mommy!!"
Taylor smiled at him, she was carrying a stuffed toy and a balloon. "Hi my baby! How are you feeling? Look what I got you." She made her way towards Parker and kissed his head. "I'm sorry I wasn't here."
She then made her way towards Lila and pulled her up from her seat. "I am so sorry about what happened. I swear I didn't mean to do it. Just because I go on tour and you guys aren't there doesn't mean I forget about you guys. That is never my intention, ever. It won't ever happen again." She kissed her. "I love you so much. Both of you."
Lila hugged her tightly. "I love you too."
