Taylor had fallen asleep on the sofa with Harper sat beside her. Frozen was still in and Harper hadn't even noticed her mommy falling asleep. Just as the film ended Travis came running into the living room, panicked and stressed. "Tay, Taylor! TAY! I'm taking Ellie to the hospital." He yelled. He seemed desperate by the time Taylor jumped up.

She ran to Ellie's room to check on the teen who had passed out and still looked way too pale. Taylor immediately instructed Travis to get Ellie into the car. "What do we do about Harper? She can come but she'll be bored." Taylor told Travis.

The toddler was now almost asleep on the sofa so Travis just presumed that she would sleep the whole time anyway. "Bring her, she will just sleep if one of us has her." He replied. He picked up Ellie and took her out to the car. Taylor quickly grabbed Harper, a blanket and the iPad just in case before following and joining him in the car.

The drive to the hospital dragged. Taylor was sat between both kids in the back while Travis drove, any time that Ellie was awake she would just throw up everywhere. After she let everything out she would faint again. Taylor's worry was growing more and more by the second.

Thankfully it didn't take too long to get there and Travis managed to rush Ellie in while Taylor grabbed Harper. She planned on being in there with them in no time however Harper woke up as she picked her up and started getting a little bit upset.

The small girl desperately wanted her Billy bear which unfortunately had been forgotten at home as well as her other comfort items too. Once Taylor broke the news to her she started to cry even worse. Taylor carefully picked her up and held her close trying to calm her but it didn't work.

She tried everything. Bouncing her, walking around, singing, talking, the iPad. Nothing was working. "Come on baby girl you're okay. Mommy is with you. We can't go back home right now Ellie is sick and I need to go inside." Taylor told her gently but Harper was still too upset.

"Harper please just try to tell me what you need, I know you're upset and it's hard for you to tell me but I need to know." Taylor begged. She was desperate to see Ellie and make sure everything was going okay. Not knowing was just stressing her out more.

Taylor could feel her own tears forming and out of nowhere she just sat down in the passenger seat completely breaking down from stress. She had barely had any sleep and she was way too stressed about Ellie, not being able to calm Harper was just making this worse for her. She placed the small girl in her car seat and just got in the front and put her head in her hands. She put her fear up on the seat and rested her head against her knees.

Both her and Harper cried for a good 30 minutes until Harper's cries turned into small whimpers. Taylor knew that shutting her out at a time where the toddler felt vulnerable was a huge mistake and the wrong move but she needed time. She took a few extra minutes to take some deep breaths before lifting her head. She turned around to see Harper crying still but curled up in her seat chewing on her little hand. Her eyes moved to the other side where the seat was full of puke and she sighed.

The blonde wiped away her own tears and slowly got out of the car, making her way over to harper and buckling her in. She then picked up her phone and called Travis. "Hey, Harper is upset so I'm gonna go get her some of her comfort things if that's okay. Is Ellie alright."

"She's okay, Tay, don't worry. Have you been crying?" Her big friend asked, to which the blonde quickly replied. "I'm fine I'll see you in a bit."

Taylor drove Harper home as quickly as she could and grabbed whatever she needed. When Harper politely asked for a bottle she couldn't help but give in. She had nothing left in her to be able to fight the girl and say no so she quickly filled one up and passed her it.

"I want bed." Harper whined, placing her head down on Taylor on the way out to the car. Taylor started to tear up again at that, hearing Harper so tired and upset after the meltdown was horrible. She was trying so hard to make sure that Ellie was okay that she didn't even think all day to bother about harper and now she was keeping her from going to bed. She couldn't even help the poor girl through a tantrum.

"I know Harpie, I know. I want my bed too, baby." She told her. Harper let out a few cries and just hugged onto Taylor. Taylor gently placed Harper down in the car seat and buckled her up, this time grabbing a blanket and tucking her in as if she was in bed.

As soon as she got into the front seat she let out a huge sigh. She hates any form of tantrum but she always tries to help, she offers Harper everything possible and ensures that she stays with her and stays calm to ensure that nothing she says or does can upset the small girl. She understands that she is just a small human who doesn't understand the emotions that she is feeling sometimes. Even as an adult she often feels out of touch with her feelings and she knows how frustrating it is. She can only imagine how horrible it is for a toddler.

She called her mom on the way to the hospital and let out all of her feelings. She explained Ellie's state and the issue with Harper and how horrible she felt for her response. Andrea agreed to be there as soon as she could to be with her as she knew how tired and drained her daughter was feeling. As much as Travis could help Taylor just needed her mom at that moment.

Once she pulled up outside the hospital she turned around to look at Harper who was fast asleep under the blanket. Her bottle had been left at half way so she presumed she had been asleep for a while. She gently picked up the toddler and all of the things before finally making her way into the hospital. She had no idea what to expect so she anxiously took a deep breath and walked through the doors.
