10 years later [Tayvin AU]

Part 10

ADAM POV

It was lucky that Gemma had agreed to stay the night if I wasn't back last night, since it was now 7am and I woke up in Taylor's bed, still partially clothed but tangled up in her sheets with her long and gangly arms wrapped around my torso. It was for certain that our relationship had changed last night.

"Babe? Hey Tay?" I said quietly, trying to wake her up gently by running my hand down her bare back and placing delicate kisses on her head. I got a light groan in response, which made me smile.

"Tay? We need to wake up..." I said a little louder.

"What? Oh my gosh! What time is it?" She said, suddenly waking up and realising it was light outside.

"It is currently 10 past seven on Saturday morning." I replied, chuckling slightly at her bed head and startled look.

"Wait? Seriously? What about Lottie?!" She asked, obviously worried about the fact I was still here and not at home with Lottie.

"It's fine, babe. Her babysitter said she would stay overnight in case I got back late...or you know...early..."I explained.

"So you were expecting to stay overnight?" She asked, smirking slightly and squinting at me.

"Just wanted to cover all the bases." I said, holding up my hands in a surrender position, making Taylor giggle at me. "But I think I should be getting going now...."

"Yeah, of course." Taylor replied sadly.

"You could come with me.... and then we could do some halloween planning with Lottie. She really wanted to see you today anyways..." I suggested, getting a lot of nodding in response.

"Just give me like.....10 minutes....I'll just shower and get dressed!" She said, leaping out of bed and running towards the bathroom before turning at winking at me as I stared at her retreating figure. She was wearing some very lacy and very sheer black lingerie, which I had discovered last night much to my delight.

I slowly got out of bed and put back on my clothes from last night, before making my way into the kitchen to make coffee....and put the dishes from last night in the dishwasher.

Almost exactly 10 minutes later, Taylor came into the kitchen, showered and dressed in a dark blue sweater and tan pants.

"Ready?" She asked, wrapping her arms around me from behind.

"Yup. Do you want some coffee?" I asked, making her smile and walk towards one of the cupboards.

"Travel mugs....then we can get back sooner and see Lottie." She said, taking out 2 travel mugs and handing them to me to fill.

LOTTIE POV

When I woke up this morning I went to my daddy's room and found the bed empty. I then went to the guestroom and found Gemma still asleep. I decided to wake her up becasue the little hand on the clock was next to the 8.

"Gemmmmmmmaaaaa?" I said, tapping her on the shoulder.

"Hey Charlotte! Did you sleep well?" She asked as she woke up.

"Yes....thank you.....where's daddy?" I asked her.

"Well....he must still be at his friends house..."

"Like a sleepover?" I asked her.

"Yeah....like a sleepover. Do you want breakfast?" Gemma asked me.

"I want to wait for daddy." I said, crossing my arms and wandering out into the living room.

I sat down and turned on the TV. Soon Gemma came out and sat with me.

"Are you su-" She started to speak but was interrupted by the front door opening.

"Dadddddy!?" I squealed, running to the door. I then spotted Taylor was there too. "TAYLOR!"

I jumped up and my daddy caught me in his arms.

"Hey princess!" He told me, kissing me on the nose.

"Taylor! You came to play!" I said, leaning over to Taylor, who easily took me into her arms.

TAYLOR POV

"I sure did Lottie-bug. Did you have a good night with Gemma last night?" I asked her while Adam went over to Gemma to pay her.

"We watched Frozen....and had ice cream bananas....and then I went to sleep.....and now you're here!" Lottie explained to me. "Did you have a sleepover with Daddy?"

"Uhh...yeah....we had a sleepover." I replied to her innocent question. "Do you want to get dressed? Then we'll go out for breakfast."

"Ok....with daddy too?" Lottie asked.

"Yes, silly bug....with daddy too." I replied, ruffling her hair and leading her down the hall towards her room.

She started looking through her clothes and choosing what to wear. After a few minutes she decided to wear tan pants and a navy NYFD sweatshirt.

"I want to match you." She told me as we got her clothes on.

I heard a deep chuckle behind me and trned slightly to find Adam standing in the doorway, in clean clothes, watching us. I stuck out my tongue at him then turned back to Lottie.

"What should we do with your hair?" I asked her.

"Piggy braids." She told me, handing me her hairbrush. I sat on the edge of her bed and started brushing and braiding her hair into two braids.

"Are my two girls ready for breakfast?" Adam said as I finished doing her hair.

"YES! I'm starved!" Lottie said dramatically, running towards the front door.

"Your two girls, huh?" I said to Adam as he helped me off Lottie's low bed and we made our way to the door.

"Yup. Mine!" He said kissing me, then taking my hand to catch up to Lottie.
