Summer of 2025

Rowan's P.O.V

"Please mom, just ten minutes that's all." I beg mom as she continues to bake her famous chocolate chip brownies. She looks up giving me a stern look. "Rowan, you are now seven years old. Do I really need to come and watch you do a trick on the trampoline?" I pout at her and say.
"If mama was here she would come out." Mom gasps and grabs her chest.
"That one hurt Ro, but give me ten minutes and I'll be out okay?" she questions wiping her hands on her overly bright coloured apron. I nod but then say. "Okay. We're going swimming instead though." Mom's head whips up. "Wait. I said yes to the trampoline not the pool." I turn on the adorable puppy dog look that mama pulls all the time. "Don't you dare..." mom mutters as I pout to. "Okay fine, I'll be at the pool in ten minutes to watch you. Go and get ready and put on sunscreen." I nod excitedly and rush outside.

Taylor's P.O.V

Watching Rowan excitedly rush to get dressed makes me miss Karlie more. She's in Paris right now for her third week away. It's fashion month and next week she will be in New York but Rowan and I are staying here in Rhode Island. Karlie and I have been trying to get pregnant again and I was implanted before she wants to wait until she is back before we find out. I mean I could easily take a test and we would know but she doesn't want to so I will wait. I pull out my phone and see Karlie's face looking back at me. "I miss you Karlie." I type out and send before less than a minute passes and Karlie is calling me. "Baby..."I state.
"Tay, how are you?" I smile and listen to Karlie talk.
"Good how's the city of love?"
"Lonely without my wife." She pouts as I laugh.
"I can't be there all the time Karlie. You've got Lily and Gigi there though. That should be good enough." I can hear her sigh as she thinks about responding.
"I know but I miss you and Ro and the one we are pregnant with."
"We don't know yet," I mumble as she sighs again.
"I know another week to go. Is everything okay at home?" I look around the kitchen that seems more empty since she is not here and sigh. "It's lonely, even with Ro I still miss you Karlie."
"I miss you too, what's that boy up to today?" She questions as I fill her in about him pouting to get what he wants. "You're a bad teacher Mrs Swift-Kloss." I state as Karlie laughs.
"Will you spank me Mrs Swift-Kloss?" she questions as I laugh and promise a night of passion when she returns. She groans and states, "I have to go Tay, another rehearsal. I'll be back soon and I'll try to call Ro tonight." I don't even get to say goodbye before she hangs up and I look around and notice the brownie is done and I see Ro waiting outside for me. Grabbing my sunglasses I leave the house.

"Okay Ro, you ready?" I question as I approach him. He stands and dusts off his blue swim shorts. "Sure am mom."
"Did you put sunscreen on?" He nods and I can see the flecks of white all over him. I nod and let him in the gate that I keep locked for the simple reason that he likes everything. He loves getting into things. "Don't run okay?" I tell him as he turns and kicks off his flip flops and tosses his towel on the table before doing a dive into the water, but it fails and water splashes everywhere. His head pokes up and I see his blonde hair is totally saturated and stuck to his face. "I'm going to sit there okay." I tell him, pointing to the lounger in the shady part of the pool area. He nods and ducks under the water again. I simply walk over and lie down and within seconds I feel tired. 'Must be the warm day.' I decide sitting back. I can see Ro having fun and I have such a wonderful view of the beach where families are down enjoying the warmer weather. "Moooommmm...." Ro calls from the edge of the pool. I smile and sit up. Can you come and look at my hand?" I smile and walk over, halfway I begin to feel a little woozy. I look up and see Ro looking at me. "Mom?" he questions. I blink a few times as time slows down and every noise is amplified all of a sudden I fall forward onto the concrete. "Ro..." I call weakly as everything fades to black.

Karlie's P.O.V

It's nearly midnight here in Paris when I get back to the hotel room. Gigi and Lily had the marvellous idea of going out to celebrate the end of rehearsals before the show in two days. I usually love this time of the year but for some reason something feels off. I glance around the room for my laptop thinking of doing a Skype call because it's nearly 6.00pm in Rhode Island. I text Taylor and then go and sit down, waiting for her reply back. I wait for nearly fifteen minutes before I get a bit worried. She always keeps her phone near her, she claims that if something goes wrong she wants to be able to call someone immediately. I pick up my phone and call her but after hearing it ring out I try again and again. After the eight time I start to freak out and end up calling the home phone, no answer there either. Calling Tree who is in New York I can hear she is run off her feet. "Karlie..." she calls.
"Hey Tree, I can call back later I was just wanting to ask you something."
"Okay, what is it. Are you coming back tonight?" This puts me on edge.
"Why would I come home now Tree? I'm back next week." I can hear Tree talking to other people and then I hear the distinct 'mama' and I know that's Rowan. "Tree is that Ro?" I have no answer.
"Tree if you don't tell me what's going on right now you are fired!" I shout not even considering my neighbours next door. "It's Taylor, she's in the hospital Karlie." My heart sinks as my mouth feels like a desert. "Is....will she uhm..."
"She's okay. I'm sure she would want you here though." I nod as she says. "I'll call your manager it will be fine." I nod and hang up and rush around the room throwing everything into my suitcase so I can get to the airport. 'Please be okay baby.' I pray as the taxi drives me towards the airport.

Twelve hours later I'm storming through the halls at the hospital but upon seeing Tree I stop. She stands and Rowan comes rushing forward, tears falling down his face. "Hey bud, it's okay." I say as he pushes his face into me. "I didn't mean to mama. It's all my fault." I pull him away from me.
"What are you saying. It's not your fault Rowan. It happened okay?" He nods as I look at Tree.
"She's just in there, she woke up half an hour ago and the doctor wants to speak to you both." I nod and walk in while Ro stays with Tree, who is practically his aunt at this point. Walking in I see the nurse talking to Taylor as she turns her head to the door when I walk in. Her face brightens then falls. "Karlie...why aren't you in Paris?" My mouth practically falls open.
"Are you kidding me?" I question. She doesn't get a chance to answer as the doctor comes in.
"Taylor, are you feeling better now?" she nods as I caress her hands. "You were severely dehydrated. It happens sometimes in the warmer weather but you really need to be taking care of yourself. You're in a sensitive spot right now." Taylor looks at him.
"Excuse me?" she accuses.
"You're pregnant Mrs Swift-Kloss. Five weeks." I look at her in shock as she smiles.
"Really? A baby?" The doctor nods.
"Yes Mrs Swift-Kloss." We look at each other and smile.
"Karlie a baby," I smile and kiss her lips.
"A baby. I love you." She smiles as we kiss again. Life is very good and thanks to dehydration we learnt that Taylor is pregnant again.
