Taylor's POV

I had been hiding a lot from Harper, Travis knew but we hadn't mentioned much yet to her. It was an emotional day for the both of us when we found out and we had been spending a lot of time preparing Harper for the news and the huge change that was going to happen. Nothing could prepare me for the moment we had to tell her though.

Harper was spending some time with my mom for the day while Travis and I had a day together to get some things sorted. We had a few meetings to attend then we made our way to build a bear. Travis chose a bear and I chose another then we went and got them stuffed. When we had done that we paid for two noises in each one. In mine I had a little message when she pressed one side and on the other hand it played my heartbeat which I recorded a few days before. Travis had put two little messages in his.

Once the bears were done we made our way to the Apple Store. We chose an iPad and a case then went to a cafe where we sat down and set it up. I linked it to my email then added my phone number putting the contact as 'Tay 🥰🩷' before Travis added his as 'Travie 💙'. I looked down, holding back tears as I reached over and grabbed Travis' hand. The fact that we had to do this was awful.

We also bought her a new little blankie which we planned on leaving in our bed for the next few nights to make sure that it completely caught our scents. "Trav, I don't want to tell her. She's gonna hate us. We're gonna break her heart Travis!" I told him, letting out all of my emotions as I moved closer and lay my head on him.

He put an arm around me and kissed the top of my head. It was the first time we ever actually spent a day together since we took Harper in and for this to be the reason why makes it even worse. We spent a few more hours out together just spending quality time together, we really never got to see eachother much anymore.

We both got dinner together and went out for a few drinks and we were definitely drunk by the time we got home. Mom had put Harper to bed so it was a nice easy night for us both, we could hop straight into bed and get to sleep without the stress of a grumpy toddler.

I cuddled closer to Travis and just put my head in my hands. "Travis, I can't do this. Can we take her to go do whatever she wants tomorrow before we tell her tomorrow night please. Who's going to tell her you or me?" I asked him.

He must have noticed my frustration because I felt him squeeze my tighter. "If you need me to, I will speak tomorrow. Don't think about tomorrow, and yes she can do anything she wants tomorrow." He told me.

I eventually managed to fall asleep.

Harper joined us at around 2:30 and cuddled up to me so I forced myself to sleep. At least she was near me and close. I didn't want her anywhere else.

We got up early and got ready for the day. "Okay harper, what do you want to do today?" I asked and she frowned a little. "I choose?" She asked and I nodded with a sad smile.

"Tarbucks! And and and McDonald's and and park and toy store!" She told us both feeling extremely excited about the day ahead of her. I looked at Travis who laughed a little and scooped her up.

"Okay girlie let's go get you a cake pop huh?" He told her while running to the door. I followed along grabbing her little backpack and putting it on my back before grabbing my purse and heading to the car where Travis had buckled her in and gotten in the driver's seat.

We ticked each thing off her little list throughout the day before finally ending up at the toy sure. We let her get anything she wanted despite her not needing it at all before finally driving home. We just had to figure out how to tell her.

"Baby come sit here with me please." I told her from the living room. Her playroom is the next room along and she always leaves the door open so that we can see her and get her attention when we need her. I heard her little feet tapping on the floor as she made her way over to us.

"Okay we have to have a very important conversation with you, can you listen to us very carefully because we don't want you to get upset by part of it and not hear the rest okay?" I told her. She looked so confused and worried and I just felt awful. I could feel my own tears starting to well up.

She nodded and just curled up in a little ball on the sofa while me and Travis sat on the floor in front of her. I grabbed the iPad and passed her it. If you click on this app here, you can see it has a name with a pink heart and a name with a blue heart. If you click on the pink heart you can FaceTime me and talk to me and if you click the blue one then you get Travis okay? Do you know who is who?" I asked.

She pointed to the pink one. "Mommy"

Then the blue one "daddy"

"Honey," I started sobbing right then and there. "You can't call us that anymore baby... it's Tay tay and Travie okay?" I told her. Travis put an arm around me and he was now also crying. I saw Harper's face drop as she shuffled closer trying to figure out what was happening.

"Harps, we got you these, this one is from myself and this is from Tay Tay, if you ever need us you press the little hands on the bears and we are right there with you okay? Don't press it now though, wait until you really need it." Travis told her, handing over the teddy bears. She took them both, squeezing them tightly. "Why?" She whispered.

Then I dropped the news. "Baby, you're not ours anymore."
