Our Small Miracle - Adopted by Taylor Swift

Part 28

Taylor's pov

The second we went in Travis came over to hug me. As he leant in for a kiss he noticed I was holding harper. That's when he saw the earrings. The drink he was holding dropped to the floor and glass smashed everywhere."Tay? What are those?" He asked me, disappointment in his tone.

I slowly turned away, accidentally stepping on a piece of glass. "Ow! Nothing, they're fake."

He smiled a little and turned me to face him then looked at Harper. "Do you like them, Harper?" He asked. I looked down at her and she nodded a little, trying to wipe her sticky hands on my jacket and starting to cry a little. The glass had clearly startled her and she hated loud noises. "As long as she liked them then that's fine. Sorry for the glass, it took me by surprise." He told me.

I narrowed my eyes a little studying his reaction. He was definitely just not saying anything with her around. I smiled at him a little bit instead it was returned with his head tilting downwards and him walking away. "I um, made some spaghetti since we all like it." He told me, walking into the kitchen and plating up the food.

I sat down on the sofa for a minute pulling herper close and reassuring her that it was an accident and she wasn't going to get hurt. She didn't really believe me at first but after a lot of cuddles and kisses she finally relaxed, cuddling closer and starting to drift off again. I didn't really want her to sleep before dinner so I woke her up a little by wiping off her hands and face so that they weren't all sticky. "Did you like the ice cream hun?" I giggled.

She nodded excitedly pointing to all of the strawberry ice cream on her lovely new white t-shirt. I knew that it would be a job for me to get them out but her cuteness makes up for it. She could break anything in this house and her little smile could get her out of trouble. Unless she broke one of my Grammys or one of my awards. Or if she broke one of my cats, I would cry if she broke Meredith, Olivia or Benjamin.

Eventually we all had a meal together then I got her in the bath and handed her off to Travis to get her ready for bed. We had a little system where I would bathe her each night before bed and we took it in turns each night for who reads to her and puts her to bed. Tonight is Travis night so while he got her to brush her teeth and read to her I went in our room and had a nice warm bath. As much as I love having a little kid running around I really had been waiting all day for some time to myself.

Eventually while I was laying in bed the door opened and I saw Travis come in. He took a seat beside me and instinctively I cuddled right up. "I'm sorry trav. She wanted to and it was a reward for going to the nutritionist. I know you didn't want her to." I admitted.

He turned to me and kissed the top of my head, his way of showing he wasn't mad. I felt him put an arm around me. "Don't worry about it Tay, I just wanted to be there when she got them done that's all." He told me. I looked up at him and he smiled down at me. I nodded a little, apologizing again.

We cuddled for a while longer then I went to go check on Harper. To my surprise she sat up in her bed. I wandered over to her and knelt don't beside her bed. "Why are you still awake baby?" I asked her.

"Mommy, I need bathroom." She told me. Another win. She really has woken up as a new child. I nodded and took her then tucked her in straight away. I then left her and made my way back to my room.

Travis and I had recently been going and checking on her every now and then to prevent accidents. Normally when she needs the bathroom at night she wakes up but is too scared to go alone or to come get us, if we go check on her she will tell one of us. We normally take it in turns as we didn't want one of us beholding all the weight of it.

I had opened up to Travis after everything and told him how I felt that I was always the one who had to deal with her and how exhausted it was making me. Since then we set it out that we take turns and thankfully it was working out, I didn't feel as exhausted and he was getting closer to her too.

The person to send her to bed normally gets the night of dealing with her if she gets upset or has an accident but sometimes Travis will deal with her anyway. I've noticed that if I'm almost asleep he will get up and go to her anyway. We had also moved her into the room closest to us instead of down the hall so that we could hear her if she shouted.

I took this as a time to quickly check my foot after stepping on glass earlier. I had cleaned it all up just after dinner and I had also cleaned all the plates too. I didn't give myself time to actually check the bleeding. It wasn't too bad but it was good enough to really sting.

"Wait, did you get hurt?" Travis asked me, placing a hand on my back. I nodded a little but just quickly sat back, ignoring it. It wasn't bleeding anymore so I wasn't too bothered. He took it upon himself to go look at it. "Tay I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to smash it, you know that right?"

I smiled and nodded, laughing a little. He really is just adorable. He looked down feeling bad and just came over to cuddle up to me. I sighed and just put on Grey's anatomy. "NO! Tay I am not watching that!" He told me, instantly covering his eyes when an operation scene appeared.

I giggled even more. "Looks like you'll have to just sleep through it and have an early night." I told him.

Benjamin came and cuddled up between us both as always, and Travis turned the other way to try and sleep. He hated Grey's anatomy and always refused to watch it with me. When he heard harper crying and yelling he immediately jumped up, making a quick run for the door, anything to get away from watching my show.

I smiled and just sprawled myself out, taking up as much room as possible. Normally in the night I end up with no space and he gets it all so I had to gather more room while he wasn't there. I continued to watch but eventually he returned, this time with a crying toddler in his arms. I quickly paused the tv.

"She wants her mommy and it's your turn to deal with her anyway." He told me, handing her off to me. I kissed her on the nose and gave her a big cuddle before putting a kids show on for her. She wouldn't tell us what had upset her but whatever it was really did get to her. It took her about an hour to even let go of me and even after that she had a very tight grip on my shirt while she watched the tv for a little bit. It was our only way to help her get her mind off everything and to get her to settle. She enjoyed falling asleep watching Disney movies.

After a couple of hours she still wouldn't sleep. So I looked over at Travis who frowned a little. "What's going on sweetie? You were doing so well you were a big brave girl today and you stayed in your own bed last night too. What's upset you? If you tell us we can help." I asked her, brushing back the hair from her face.

She quickly turned towards me and hid her face between me and her hands. That's when I noticed the door creeping open.
