I Was Enchanted To Meet You: A Taylor Swift Adoption Story

Coraline Meets Travis

Taylor's POV:
Today's the day that Cora meets Travis. I know she's a nervous wreck. So am I. I grab my phone and text Travis.
(T=Taylor & TK=Travis)
T: Hey Trav!
TK:Hey Tay! Excited for tonight?
T: Yeah. I think Cora's a nervous wreck. Lol
TK:She'll be fine Tay. I can't wait to meet her!
T:I know. See you soon!
TK: See ya!
Now I have to go wake Cora up.
Coraline's POV:
Today I'm a nervous wreck. Taylor and Travis have been together for a couple months. I'm really nervous about meeting Travis. I don't want him to hurt Taylor. Taylor's my life. Joe hurt Taylor. If Travis hurts Taylor, he'll regret it. It's now 9:13 and Taylor knocks on my door, " Hey, Princess! Can I come in?" She asks. " Yeah Tay!" I say. Taylor comes in and sits on my bed. " So, I can tell that you're nervous about meeting Travis." She says. "Yeah. I am a little." I say, embarrassed. "Hey. It's okay. He's a great guy." She says, knowing I'm embarrassed. " That's what you said about Joe." I say. "Babes, I know you're still upset with Joe. But, that's in the past. You're going to love Travis. Trust me." She says. " Okay Tay. You're right." I say, my nerves calming down. "Come on. Let's go eat breakfast." She says, helping me off the bed.
Taylor's POV:
Cora and I had just eaten breakfast when my phone buzzes. I looked that it and it was Travis texting me:
TK:Tay, can I come over a little after 5:30? Practice is going to be running later than usual.
I text back:
T:Yeah Trav! See you later!
It's now 5:36 and I hear the doorbell buzz. Travis!!!! I race to the door and hug Travis right away. "Hi baby!" He says. "Hi Travi!" I say back. "Tay?" I hear Cora's quiet voice ask. "Yeah babes?" "I don't feel good." She says, embarrassed that Travis is hearing this. "Okay babes. C'mere. Shhhh. It's okay sweetheart." I say. "Tay? Is there anything I can do?" I hear Travis ask. "I've got it. Thanks though." I say, hugging Cora. "Mommy?" I hear Cora ask and Travis looks at me with a confused look. "Yeah babes?" I ask. "Can you sing to me please?" She asks. "Of course sweetheart." I say, then start to sing:
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said I'll never let you go
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said don't leave me here alone
But all that's dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
Don't you dare look out your window, darling, everything's on fire
The war outside our door keeps raging on
Hold onto this lullaby even when the music's gone, gone
Just close your eyes, the sun is going down
You'll be alright, no one can hurt you now
Come morning light, you and I'll be safe and sound
Ooh (ooh)
Ooh (ooh)
Oh whoa (oh whoa)
Oh whoa (oh whoa)
Ooh (ooh)
Ooh (ooh)
Oh whoa
Oh whoa
Just close your eyes
You'll be alright
Come morning light
You and I'll be safe and sound
Travis looks at me and I realized that he'd had never heard me sing except in my albums. Cora was now sleeping in my arms on the couch. "Sorry Travi." I say knowing that we can't eat dinner. "It's okay Tay. We can eat later." He says.
Coraline's POV:
After Taylor sang to me, I fell asleep. I know I fell asleep before we ate dinner but Taylor and Travis would understand. A half an hour later after I fell asleep in Taylor's arms, I had a nightmare again. I started to stir and cry.
Taylor's POV:
An half an hour went by and I feel Cora stir and then I hear her cry. Travis mouths to me, "What's going on?" I mouth back ," She's having a nightmare." Then I immediately turn my attention to Cora, "Shhhh Princess. Hey babes, it's okay. Shhhh." I say and Cora immediately calms down and falls back asleep.
Coraline's POV:
As I had my nightmare I hear Taylor say," Shhhhh Princess. Hey babes, it's okay. Shhh." I immediately calm down and fall back asleep in Taylor's arms. I don't want to let go. She keeps me safe. I hear the tv but it's really faint. Taylor probably didn't want to wake me so she kept the volume down. Taylor's rocking us back and forth so I don't have another nightmare. I hear Taylor say, " Hey Princess? It's time to get up. Dinners ready."  I wake up and say " Okay Tay."  "Tay?" I ask. "Yeah babes?" Taylor asked, looking Travis. "Can you carry me?" I ask, with an embarrassed face. Travis started to laugh and Taylor yelled at him, "Trav! Cut it out! " " C'mere babe." She said, picking me up. Travis was still laughing a little and I didn't like it. Taylor sensed that I didn't like Travis laughing so she hugged me as I started to cry into her shoulder. " Hey babes, I know you're upset with Travis. Maybe he thinks you're too old to be carried, which my daughter is not." Taylor looked at Travis with a mad look on her face. "Trav, I'm going upstairs with Cora." Taylor said. Travis started to say something but Taylor didn't want to hear it.
Taylor's POV:
I was so mad at Travis for laughing at Cora. I carried her upstairs and we got in her bed. Cora had fallen asleep and I heard a light knock on the door, " Tay? Is Cora awake?" I hear Travis ask. " No Travis. She's asleep." I say back, my voice quiet and angry. " Tay look, I'm sorry." I heard Travis say. "Trav, you made her cry." I say. " Do you think she'll still like me?" I hear him ask. I feel so bad right now. "I don't know. I'll ask when she wakes up." I say. " K! Thanks Tay. Love you." He says. " Love you too Trav!" I say back as Travis goes back downstairs. It's was 7:18 and I feel Cora wake up. " Hey babes! Did you sleep good?" I say. " Yeah." She says softly with a tired voice. " Do you still like Travis even after the incident?" I ask, hoping she still likes him. " Yeah. I do. I know he didn't mean to laugh." She said. We get up and walk downstairs. Cora ran to Travis mouthed to me, " Guess she still likes me?" And I mouth back, "Yes she does." And then we finally eat dinner.
