Laugh it out

Taylors POV
__________

The car ride to my parent's house was loud. Maddie was singing rather enthusiastically to one of the Disney songs greg was playing from the front for her, waving her hands around for extra credit and constantly turning her head from her car seat to face me for any kind of praise i could offer.

"Mama!" she yells, catching my attention once again. Her curls are messy and she is reaching her arms towards me as far as they will go without being restrained by her seats straps.

She groans when her body is pulled back and i turn towards her, smirking at her pouty little face.

"yes Maddie how can i help you."  I giggle, since she woke up after our plane ride nap she has been full of energy seemingly a lot happier and less stressed than before like she can finally relax and act like the childish toddler she is deep down.

She throws her head back on her seat and stretches her legs out in front of her as far as they can which isn't far and wiggles around trying to find a way out.

"get me out!" she moans, her hair falling into her face covering her blue eyes and her cheeks a deep ruby from all of her fussing.

"we are almost at Granny and Grandads and then you can get out baby." I promise although that doesn't seem to matter to the toddler in front of me as tears begin to build in her eyes frustration evident.

Before i can react she begins to cry, pulling on her arm straps and pressing on the button between her legs trying her hardest to get out.

"Maddison stop it please i have said no." I warn not wanting to shout but Maddie continues to press on, reaching her arms out to me in hopes of convincing me to get her out.

"Baby I'm sorry it's dangerous to get you out of your seat while we are driving." I explain and she whimpers, her bottom lip quivering.

i reach into my bag for the paci she used during the plane and offer it out to her but she moves her head with a huff turning to tuck her head into the sides of her car seat.

Her small innocent cries slowly break my heart and i have to blink to keep from crying myself.

I try my hardest not to give in, not to just pick her out and sit her on my lap like she desperately wants but I know that i have to say no sometimes even if i don't want to.

Reaching over and kissing her forehead as she continues to sniffle i place her bunny next to her and sit back down in my seat rubbing her arm affectionately even though she refuses to look at me now that she knows she won't be getting out.

When we finally arrive Maddie is still in a mood with me but i ignore her silence and pick her up, her small arms and legs wrapping around me almost instantly like a small little koala.

Greg carries through our bags and i lead us into my bedroom at mom and dad's house.

They're not home right now, shopping for the week and my brother and his girlfriend- Sydney aren't here yet either so it's just us.

Austin and Sydney are coming down for a while, mainly to see Maddie but also to be able to come to a few of my shows as well as Travis but he won't be here until a few days because apparently his game practices are getting stricter, he made me promise to face-time every day with moo so he could see her and keep him very updated which i was happy to comply too.

"you ready to see me and your room for the week Moo." I cheer nudging her as she rests on my hip but she just humphs, pouting and keeping her arms tightly crossed.

"okay moody pants." i roll my eyes opening the door and placing her onto the cream carpet so she could explore as i take in my room smiling at the memories, but she whines and reaches up towards me her lips still holding the pout.

"Awhh you want back up?" I mutter booping her scrunched up nose and she flexes her hands in persistence giving no verbal answer.

Scooping her up by her tiny little legs and resting her in a baby cradle position i smother her head and face with sloppy kisses making sure my sound effects are perfect.

'Mwa mwa'

"Mummy stop!" She giggles, a smile breaking out from her face and my favourite sound eliciting from her beautiful lips.

"I can't, Im just gonna eat you up!" I gasp dropping her onto the duvet covers of the bed we will be sharing gently and pressing my mouth to her stomach, blowing to create the awful ticklish feeling my own mom used to do to me as a kid.

"AHH" she screams in laughter, wiggling around beneath me to escape but i don't let up, placing my head into her shoulder and making eating noises, rubbing my hair into her face making her laugh just that much harder until she is gasping for air in between giggles snd i sit up onto the back of my feet giving her a second.

"Meanie." she smiles, her face flushed.

"Im so mean." I wink reaching forward and kissing her forehead before jumping up and beginning to unpack.

——-
"you ready for your appointment tomorrow baby?" i ask whilst folding up a shirt and placing it into my dresser.

Moo is sat drinking milk from her sippy cup beside me, her favourite Bluey characters being showcased beautifully.

"What do i have to do?" she asks whilst shrugging and handing me the next shirt to fold.

"You don't have to do anything. She will just ask you some questions and let you draw or play with some toys probably, and i will just be sat in the room next door waiting okay?" i assure, referring to her appointment with a child psychologist i had found near my parents house, Tree had helped me locate.

Im hoping she will give me some answers to some of Maddie's shy and quiet behaviours and maybe give us some ideas on ways to help her cope with the traumas she has been exposed to or experienced.

"okay and if i want to go home i can?"

"Absolutely mommy will take you home if you don't like it and we will never go back." I smile shutting the dresser and standing on my now dead legs, my mom and dad will be back soon so waiting downstairs is the best idea right now, I can't wait for dad to see her after all those years, photos and videos really don't cut it for persistent Grandads.

"you ready to see Grandma again?" I ask and she nods instantly holding up her bunny which was a present from mom when we first found her again.

"you love your bunny don't you." I say my face full of love.

"He is my bestest fwend." She nods kissing his head and cradling him like i had her earlier on.

"i thought i was your bestest friend?" I pout feeding into her messed up english slightly.

"silly!" she mutters and i just open my mouth.

"Silly? Is that it!" i ask shocked and she just nods with a smile.

"ill be your bestest fwend fine!" she groans like i had been bothering her about it for months.

"Wow thank you!" I exaggerate and she just nods dismissively before reaching up for my hand to walk down the stairs with.
