" well maybe it's your fault this keeps happening Taylor, why pictures of our son sick in the hospital have been shared to the media, you know " this was how low the couple were going now.

They hadn't improved since Taylor told Travis to leave, and despite now Noah being discharged from the hospital yesterday, they were both right at each other's throats still, plucking unnecessary reasons out for air to cause an argument. But that one comment hit Taylor too hard, Travis had never blamed her for her fame, and he just did, and it triggered so many unwanted emotions for her. The last person to do that was Joe. Was Travis becoming like Joe? Taylor wondered what she ever did to make guys go off her soon after she had their children, the first time she could blame them, but when it happens a second time, she had to start looking at herself. Was she the problem?

" oh just fuck off Travis, how dare you. How dare you blame me for that. I do everything in my power to protect my children. Do you think I wanted people to take pictures of my sick baby? Of course I fucking didn't. I can't believe you even just said that! " Taylor yelled at him, she'd lost all patience with her boyfriend recently, if she could even still call him that, she wasn't sure

" you keep telling to to fucking leave Taylor, well I'm starting to feel like I should. I'm fed of you always picking a fight, constantly yelling at me. Im starting to wish i had left "

" no one is stopping you Travis. Leave. Be my guest " she told him, she couldn't even be bothered to fight for their relationship, it was barely there anyway

" mommy..daddy. Please stop yelling " Colette cried, slowly coming down the stairs

" oh baby, it's okay. We just spoke too loudly, nothing for you to worry about, okay sweet girl? " Taylor reassured her, lifting Colette into her arms

" you told daddy to leave, he's not going to leave is he? " she asked, tears still falling from her eyes after hearing her parent's argument

" no girly, I'm not going anywhere, don't worry your pretty little mind, just head back to sleep okay? " Travis told her, coming over to Taylor and rubbing Colette's back. That's probably the closest the couple had stood next to each other in days

" you promise daddy...pinky promise? " she held out her pinky

" yes, I pinky promise coco, night baby girl " he interlocked pinkies with her, before placing a kiss on her head

Taylor carried Colette back upstairs into her own bedroom, placing her under the cover and tucking her blanket and bunny beneath her arm.

" is daddy going to hurt you mommy? " Colette asked, her lip pouting. Taylor felt her heart break in that moment, arguing was clearly a trigger to Colette's memories of Joe

" no baby, of course not. Daddy would never hurt me, just close those beautiful little eyes of yours and soon you'll be dreaming, okay? " Taylor said, running her fingers through her daughters freshly washed hair, slowly, Colette began to drift off again. Taylor sighed, leaving her room. Bracing herself for Travis.

When she got back to the kitchen, she couldn't find him but she quite honestly didn't care. If he had left, the only person he was letting down was Colette, considering he just pinky promised her he wouldn't. She saw his shadow out in the backyard, sat on their back deck, clearly on the phone to someone. She let out a sigh, fetching herself a mug of tea to help wind her down for the night.
