Taylors Pov

I sighed as i laid my daughter down into her crib , running my hands iver her little tummy since she had been having tummy aches all day long, her big blue eyes flattering shut as she relaxed a little but, her little round cheeks redened from exertion.

Usually Poppy was a happy baby, always grinning and smiling but as there were good weeks there also had to be bad days and today happened to be one of them. I hadn't even gotten to pumping yet nor had anything to eat and i knew at the end of the day i would fall back into bed exhaustedly.

Poppy Marjorie Kelce was barely 8 months old  and even if i enjoyed and loved motherhood and being with my little girl sometimes I craved time for myself and to have some peace and quiet for a bit.

But then Poppy gave me one of her wide grin after crawling to me and i remembered just how worth it all of it was. Carefully i left the nursery and went into the kitchen grabbing some left overs from yesterday and taking a seat in the kitchen table shile i pushed my shirt up and started pumping as I ate the cold gnocchi listening to the mechanical noise of the pump while i closed my eyes for a second.

I was tired, exhausted and god this would be so much easier with someone else. As if her thoughst were read someone knocked on the door and as I went to open the door, in my old shirt i had stolen from  Travis, my hair untamed while I was pumping milk and was faced with poppys father, as per usual perfect styled and dressed, his maskuline beard cut to just the right length and his eyes sparking while I must have been looking like a zombie.

„Hey Daisy" he murmured softly and i stepped asside to let him in, irritated by his sheer perfect appearance and my lack of even a good one.

„so how are you ?" he asked gently letting his eyes wander over me and god i hated the empathy in his eyes. i had had his baby mere 8 months ago and she was with me most of the time since i was still breast feeding so he better be empathetic to my situation.

„How does it look like i am Travis?" i huffed leading him into the house where i could already hear Poppy fussing again.

„Poppy has a tummy ache so i have 0 sleep and if i dont soon get some i will have a tummy ache as well." i explained going over to Poppys room and lifting her out of her bed gently, craddeling her against my chest as she sniffled ,her blonde curly hair so similar to mine when i had been her age. My mom had said she was almost a carbon copy of me but i disagreed.

I could see Travis in her and so many of his features and complexion shimmered through in our daughter. Her eyes were blue like mine and yet they had the same greenish shine i had started to fall for im Travis eyes. She had his nose, his height and i swore her stubborness resembled his to a t.

„hi there poppy" he coaxed softly reaching for her and I couldnt help the little smile that crept onto my lips as i watched my little girl reach for him toothlessly grinning wide. Carefully i gave her over to Travis who smiles so widely it made my stomach sink , same expression he used to have with me. She cooed and reached for his beard tugging at it making him chuckle gently down at her.

„Hey sweet girl, how about I give u some carrot mush while we let mommy take a shower and finish pumping hm? Does that sound good?" he cooed softly stroking over her cheek and of course, as she always did around her dad she gave a wide grin in approval.

I mouthed a quick thank you to him, quickly unplugging the pump before i went off to the shower sighing happily as the warm water started pouring down on me, washing the stress and thoughts away and leaving me with the usual void that filed my every day live.

Travis POV

I smiled after Taylor as i watched her rush towards the shower, turning my attention back to the little world i held in my hands, squeaking for my attention as she always did. god how much is loved Poppy . she wasnt just my daughter she was also Taylors and god the similarities between them made my heart clench and jumo whenever i saw her.

It hurt only coming to oick her uo every two weeks but i knew it was better for now. taylor was still breastfeeding and even tho i had offered for her to mobe in with me i of course knew why she had said no even faster than i had fallen for her.

poppy giggled as i blew a raspberry on her dtomach before carryong her back to the nursery to vha ge her diaper and pack her things to stay with me first the weekend. To my surprise Taylor had even been in favor of me spending time wizh Poppy to bond and so i took her every opportunity i got. she was my angel, my little girl, damn it she was my whole ass world.

i had lost her mother but i would make sure to never loose my babygirl.

the bathroom door opened and i held my breath as Taylor came out, clad in a black tight mini dress that hugged her curves in all the right ways, her long curly hair scooped up with a golden clip , matching the pair of gold pearl earrings i had gotten her for her birthday jsut 2 years ago.

pearls for my little mermaid

around her neck dangled a delicate golden necklace   that onky enhanced her glow and her feet where in a pair of elegant flats. she radiated and god all i wanted to do was make her mine again but i knew i had lost every rufht to do so.

„you got everything?" she asked while lining her lips in the mirror of the hallways, her gorgeous reflection smiling back at her and i couldnt help but stare , watching my former best friends beautiful face before Poppy sqeuaked for my attention again amd i turned around to bounce her gently.

„git everything m if nit its at my oplave as welll... but much more interesting is where you are going all gorgeous and beautiful and shaved. not that you cant do that for yoursekf but you got your going out purse with u." i noticed studying Taylor as her cheeks started flaming up in a soft shade of pink. 

„i got a date" Taylor confessed as she walked me ti the door and my head whipped around almost immediately at the sound if the word date from her lips. Taylor had a date? my taylor? the mother of my child was going out with some asshole that wasnt even half good enkugh for her.

granted i wasnt either but how could i just sit back and watch the love of my life go out with some brad or chad that didnt deserve to breath the same air as she did.

„With whom??" i demanded to know, doing my best in controlling my tine and volume since i still had poppy in my arms but god i could have punched a hole into a brick wall in anger.

taylor huffed and rolled her eyes, handing me Poppys nappy and pushing me back out of her house gently before she answered.

„thats none of your business. you should go now, Im sure your wife misses you already."
