A/N: im petty as hell so i wasted (intelligently spent) an hour of my day trying to find what words to remove to make this chapter be 1013 words #taywouldbeproud
After another long day taking care of Brielle, Taylor and Travis laid down on their bed, soaking up the little time they had with one another, since they didn't exactly get a lot of it these days.
Taking care of a 2 year old wasn't exactly easy, and it usually ended up with them being too tired out at night to speak between themselves to say anything more than "goodnight" and go to sleep.
But today wasn't very hard, Brielle wasn't hard to deal with, but she was a small child, after all.It was expected to have some behavioral issues with her due to her being at a complicated age.But in general she was a sweet girl, very quiet and obedient most of the time.
"I have to go to the studio tomorrow, do you think your mom is available to take care of Bri ?" Taylor asked, suddenly remembering she had to work on the production of a song tomorrow with Jack.
"I am partially offended you just skipped over me." Travis said sarcastically with a chuckle. "You don't think I'm fit to take care of our daughter ?"
"I do, it's just that you're..."
"I'm what ? Not fit to be a parent ?" he teased.
"No, of course not.It's just that you can be like a second child, at times." Taylor confessed with a giggle.
"I won't do anything stupid, I promise." Travis said.
"Okay,okay. You can take care of Bri tomorrow, just please...don't do anything stupid.." Taylor finally gave in.
"I won't ! Thank you, baby." he said,beginning to shower her with kisses all over her body.
The next morning, Taylor left for work early in the morning while Brielle was still fast asleep. She kissed her cheek goodbye and went to say goodbye to TRavis, who was sitting in the living room watching whatever the TV decided to show at 7 AM.
"Are you sure you can handle her on your own ?" Taylor asked her worriedly.It's not that she didn't trust him, he was a great father.
"Tay, I'm 100 percent sure, okay? Now go ahead and leave, Jack's probably already waiting for you." he chuckled.
"Okay,okay." she kissed him as she giggled.
"One more." she said, putting her lips against his once more.
After she left,he went back to the sports broadcast he was watching. Suddenly, he heard a small voice calling out to him.
"Daddy?" his daughter called out, holding her soft pink baby blanket to her chest.
"Hey baby girl, come sit." he turned his head towards her and smiled, patting the spot on his lap.
Brielle's light brown curls bounced as she ran over to the couch and sat on her dad's lap.
Brielle was the perfect mix of both her parents.She had light brown hair that she inherited from her dad, and captivating ocean blue eyes just like her mother's.Her hair was around 3a and 3b curls.
"So what would you like to do today, princess ?" Travis asked his daughter.
Meanwhile,Taylor and Jack were at the studio working on a new track she was putting out as part of the album.
"I just think a track called "The Last Letter From Your Lover" would be such a power move, seriously. It's a great way to give a nod to you-know-what without getting sued." Jack explained as he took another bite out of his hamburger.
"I'm seriously all over that, honestly. I don't think a diss track is necessary when I don't have anything else left to say to him.If I do end up writing it, I'll give it to Gracie and she can keep it."
Taylor giggled to herself at the messy idea.
The hours passed and day turned to night, and Taylor left the studio.However, what she came back home to is something that left her speechless.
As she opened the front door,she saw all of her daughter's pink sheets and stuffed animals lined up to make a fort. Brielle was dressed in a light pink baby tank top and tights and a pink tutu. A crown sat on her head.
And Travis was too.
He was wearing everything that Bri was wearing, except he wore a blonde wig that looked a bit cheap.
Both Travis and Brielle turned their heads as they saw Taylor. Taylor just stared back at them with a smile on her face. And when she couldn't take it anymore, she started laughing hysterically.
She then realized the smell of her perfume lingered strongly around the room, but she couldn't even be mad about it.
Flashback to a few hours before
"Daddy the fort doesn't smell like princesses." Brielle stared at her father worriedly,like it was the most important thing in the world.
Travis chuckled a bit at her worried expression and ran upstairs. He then came back down with one of Tay's perfumes, hoping she wouldn't mind if they used it to make the room smell more royal.
end of flashback
"Okay princess, it's bath time. For you and for daddy, apparently." she laughed as Travis flashed both of them a smile and went upstairs to freshen up.
Once Brielle finished showering, she put on some pink elephant pajamas and laid on her bed.
"Mommy, can you sing for me ?" Brielle asked softly.
"Of course baby." Taylor smiled as she began singing the opening lyrics to "Sweet Nothing".
"All that you ever wanted from me was sweet nothing."
As the song came to an end, Taylor realized Brielle was fast-asleep already.
"Sweet dreams, my sweet girl." Taylor kissed her cheek and went to wash her face and get into bed.
Once she was in her pajamas and Travis was out of the shower, they cuddled close in bed.
"What you did with Bri today was really sweet." Taylor told him, burying her head into the corner on his neck.
"Thank you, babygirl. For the compliment, and for giving me the family I always dreamed of having.I love you forever. Goodnight, princess." He kissed her temple.
