Our Small Miracle - Adopted by Taylor Swift

Part 79

Taylor's POV

I noticed Harper's breathing picking up quickly so instead of focusing on him I diverted my attention to her. Billy bear was tucked tightly under her arm so I reached over for her blankie and pulled her tighter into me. "Focus on me baby, don't focus on him." I whispered.

She continued to stare at him so I picked her up and placed her in my lap facing me. She had tears pouring down her face and she could barely take a breath. Her legs were on either side of me and I was almost 100% sure that my dress was now wet too but I didn't care. "Look at me harper. Don't look at him. That's it good girl. There's that pretty little face." I cooed, taking her head in my hands and gently kissing her cheek. She gave me a sad smile and continued to try breathing.

One of her hands reached out so I placed it carefully on my chest and led her through some deep breaths. I gave her a reassuring nod but it didn't do too much because she continued to sob. "Honey it's okay. Listen to me harper. Harper please look at me and let me explain to you why you're okay." I told her in a calm voice. She continued to cry and look around terrified.

Travis came and sat beside us, blocking the view of him and now also trying to help comfort her. This was by far the worst panic attack I had ever seen her have so I immediately grabbed her little backpack and stood up with her. "Let me know when the food is here and I'll be back in. I'm going to get her some fresh air." I explained so Travis and Ellie both nodded.

I took her straight outside where I sat on a bench and placed her in my lap. I found her pacifier which I held up and she immediately reached for. Once I placed it in her mouth I pulled her closer to me and gently rocked us. "Shh you're okay. It's all fine. Baby your dad got out of prison, he's out with some friends celebrating but if he tries to speak to you he will get in a lot of trouble. He can't come near you okay? If he does he will get sent back into prison and me and daddy will look after you okay. Those papers mean you aren't going anywhere okay? Your ours now and ours only he can't take you." I told her.

She just continued to cry but nodded, it's understandable that she feels this way so I couldn't really tell her that her feelings aren't valid or important. Instead I decided to distract her from it, knowing he seemed like he was about to leave anyway. "Okay so both of our clothes are a bit ruined so why don't we go across the road and buy ourselves some new clothes to change into. Then we will fo to the bathroom and clean ourselves up and when we're done he will be gone. Does that sound okay to you?" I asked her. She nodded slowly and rubbed her eyes. She's probably exhausted from such a rough few days.

We headed over to the store across the road and as soon as we got in the young girl behind the counter seemed surprised to see us. She as probably even more surprised to see us in such a state. I had tear stains all over why dress and we were both covered in pee. "Do you have a onesie for this little one and maybe a dress or something for me?" I asked. The girl immediately jumped up and grabbed a fluffy onesie for harper and a dress for me before pointing to the changing rooms.

"You can change in there if you need to. There's also a bathroom just across from it." She told us. I smiled at her gratefully and made my way into the bathroom where I sat Harper down and got her cleaned up. "Here let's get you in a onesie then we can get you some dinner." I told her.

She nodded and just let me do all do the work for us both before reaching up for me again. When I was in a new outfit I quickly paid before heading back to the restaurant. Harper immediately started to have another panic attack on the way in so I put the pacifier in her mouth and gave her, her comfort items. While she calmed down I bounced her on my hip and walked in circles by the entrance, rubbing her back and humming to her. The next time I looked down she was calm and peacefully laying against me.

I could see her eyes starting to close so I headed inside. "He's gone baby, I'm so proud of you for getting through that." I told her. She nodded and sat beside me, still pretty shaken up. Our food was already waiting for us so I handed her a knife and fork. She just looked at it then looked back down and leant into my arm.

I put my arm around her inviting her into my lap but she stayed close to my side instead. Travis reached over and cut the food up for her so I got her one piece on the fork and held it up to her. "It's okay, you can have it. Do you want me to do airplane?" I asked her.

She just shrugged and lay down with her head in my lap. I decided she was probably exhausted so I left her to it and ate my food. When I finished Travis and Ellie wanted desert so I let them order then picked up harper and grabbed a bottle out of my backpack I got the workers so warm it slightly then put some of the kids supplement powder in it.

"Harper. Wakey wakey. Can you have a bottle for me if you don't want the chicken nuggets?" I whispered. She yawned and stretched then nodded her head. Her eyes were still closed so I gently rubbed her cheek and saw her bright blue eyes finally look up into mine.

I smiled down at her as I cradled her in my arms. I move the tip of the bottle to her mouth and she smiled, opening her mouth and taking it gratefully. I decided to gently rock her. I watched as her little hand reached up to my locket that matches hers and saw her gently move it back and forth along the chain. Her other hand gently rested on the neckline of my dress and I watched as she stared into my eyes. I love when bottles turn into mommy and Harper bonding time because it's so cute to see how she watches my every move.

When everyone was done we got up and harper decided she wanted to walk out of the restaurant. She didn't verbally tell me because for some reason she had gone back to non verbal but I decided to keep hold of her hand. As we walked out we were swarmed with paparazzi so security did their best but it was insane.

All of a sudden I felt Harper being snatched from me and as I turned around there he was holding her and running.
