CRUELEST SUMMER

34

5 years later.

The water running in the bathroom woke me from my sleep. It was an ungodly time as the sun wasn't even up yet. Okay I lied, it was just starting to lighten up the sky- still to early.

"Tay" I groaned out turning onto my side and trying to sit up.

"Don't get up" she hollared from the bathroom.

Huh?

I realized I was slightly cold, and damp. I glanced down to see the sheets were wet all around my waist.

"Shit" I groaned

This is like the third time this week I've wet the bed at night. Taylor is bound to get rid of me.

"It's okay lav" Taylor appeared in the doorway, quickly making her way over to me.

"No it's not" I whined as tears stung my eyes

"God damn these hormones" I I cursed

Taylor leaned down to place a kiss on my for head before helping me off the bed.

"Don't you dare blame the baby" Taylor shot me a look.

  Rolling my eyes I stood up and my large stomach almost sent me topping over. My swollen legs begged me to get back into bed but I was desperate to get out of these wet clothes.

"I made a bath for you, just relax" she hummed leading me into the bathroom and helping me undress.

"Thank you" I sighed smelling the sweet aroma of vanilla

The water was a perfect warm temperature that eased my nerves.

"I'll be back" Taylor kissed my temple before slipping out of the room.

Man was I ready for this baby to come out, she was taking up so much space all the time. Not to mention I'm sick of peeing myself all the time. Taylor has been an amazing wife in this journey.

     We ended up getting married not long after getting beck from that camping trip. Her father had also passed so her mom lives with us for now. There's no need for her to be alone. She is esstatic there's going to be a baby in the house.
   Taylor knew what she wanted and we immediately got married and knew that it was going to be forever.

    Later came the issues of children. I remember her asking me if that's what I even wanted. Children are such a hard topic- especially in today's society, you never know if a person is going to want kids or not. The world is so screwed up- it can be hard to bring kids in.

   So we decided to go forward with it, knowing it would bring joy to our lives and chose IVF. It took so many tries as Taylor miscarrying so many times. Her uterus is so hostile and kills anything that tried to stay. So after many many months we decided that I'd be the one to carry and first try the egg stuck and it's been growing ever since.

    It's wild to think I'm pregnant with Taylor's child, we decided to wait on knowing the gender until the baby is born. It's a controversial choice but nothing that would hurt the baby.

I still can't believe we have come all the way to this. Through everything and she's always been the one. I wish things were better with her father before he passed but he never came around.

Taylor and I bought a house in upstate new York so she can still have a major city hub for all her work. Her career has skyrocketed, albums reaching top of the charts and she's been on so many world tours. This is literally her time to shine.

My stomach flips and I suck in a breath from the jabbing pain. This little one can sure be wild at times.
