Taylor's POV
Harper immediately just completely broke down in front of us, shaking her head and begging us to keep her. This just made my heart ache even more for her. "Listen carefully to me sweetie." I told her, grabbing both of her hands.
"You can call me or Travie at any time, okay? I'll pick up no matter what time or whatever you need. Your mommy wants you back and I tried so hard but we aren't allowed to keep you. I promise though if anything isn't right I will fix it yeah? She ever does anything to you, just tell me and I'll be there I promise." I told her now sobbing myself.
"Harper, we're still allowed to see you and we will come okay? If you want to see us we can work it out and you can still come and visit but your mommy won against us." Travis explained and she nodded again.
Unfortunately we had gotten a phone call a few weeks back stating that harpers birth mom had stood up and claimed that harper's dad can forced and manipulated her into all actions taken. We originally had the impression that from the extremity of the treatment towards Harper she wouldn't get custody back however we were wrong. We got a phone call telling us that she had the right to get her child back and that she is allowed with the promise of weekly visits and check-ins from social workers.
"Let's go get your stuff honey." I whispered as I picked her up and took her upstairs. Travis packed everything while I had Harper clinging to me and crying. I took the time to just lay on her bed and cuddle with her, letting out my own tears and attempting to comfort her the best I possibly could.
I helped to pack up all her comfort stuff but as I picked up Billy bear she shook her head and passed it to me. I tried again but she refused. "You have him, you sad." She told me.
"I know I'm sad but you need him more than me, I'll be okay." I told her, packing it in. Once it was all done we put it all in the car before taking her to meet the social worker and her mom. I don't think I could ever have prepared myself for saying bye.
I watched as Harper clung to Travis while he tried to say goodbye. She was screaming and crying and it was the worst sight ever. The social worker came over to try grab her but I stepped in front. "No I haven't had my turn yet."
I room harper and held her as tight and as close as possible. My own breakdown was starting to come closer but I had to hold it back and keep strong for her. "I love you so much and I'll be here whenever you need me. You're always gonna be my little baby okay?" I told her and she nodded, crying.
Eventually the social worker had to pry her from me and I just couldn't watch. Her coughs and splutters pushing through her sobs was too much for me. I immediately covered my ears and turned into Travis for a hug. While she drove away we stayed close on the side of the pavement breaking down together.
Harpers pov
A few days of not eating or sleeping and constant crying went by before I figured out how to FaceTime Tay Tay. I wanted to see her face and talk to her again but I couldn't figure it out. It was the middle of the night when I woke up from a nightmare, desperate for any sort of comfort from Tay Tay. My panic must have set in and somehow I remembered to click the name with the pink heart. It's my favorite color so it was easy to remember now I looked back at it.
I heard a few rings before Taylor picked up, her screen was dark but she eventually put on a light and looked at the camera. She looked sleepy. "What's wrong baby?" she asked me.
I couldn't say anything, I just cried, I was happy to even see her. Mommy must have heard me because she came in, rushing over to check on me. I flinched back and put up a hand. Despite how nice she had been, nothing could stop me from remembering what she did to me. "Breathe harper breathe with me." I could hear but I didn't want her I wanted Tay Tay.
"Hey harps its okay in here on the phone can you grab the bear that got you? Good girl now just close your eyes and press on the little bears hand. Good." I heard Taylor say. I followed the instructions and suddenly I could hear her heartbeat playing from the bear. I lay my head closer to the bear and listened.
"I'll stay on call baby but you have to listen to your mommy and breathe okay? You have to trust her." Taylor told me gently. I wanted her to hold me so badly. I continued to just cry for Taylor while listening to the teddy bear.
"Taylor what do I do?" I heard mommy say then watched as Taylor sat up. They talked amongst themselves before mommy picked me up and took me outside. I screamed so loud and so much that I don't remember much. I came back to reality when I noticed the door we were at. Mommy knocked and soon enough Taylor answered wearing a pink robe looking very tired.
"I'm so sorry." Mommy told her but Taylor told her not to worry and that she understands the struggle.
"Aww come here baby girl I've got you." Taylor told me as she lifted me into her arms and held me close to her. I felt at ease again, like I suddenly had safety and security. I didn't want her to let go. "Momma stay." I whispered to Taylor.
I didn't want to offend mommy but she isn't my mommy anymore Taylor is now. I felt Taylor's hand being placed on the back of my head and she started to sway us a little, singing a quiet song to me. I cried even more knowing I wouldn't have Taylor as soon as I calmed down.
"She's not been eating Taylor. I don't really know what to do, if I'm being honest she's not slept either and all she does is cry." Mommy told Taylor who looked down at me.
"Oh honey, what are we gonna do with you?" Tay Tay asked quietly.
Tay Tay keeping me would be a good start.
