Blue Eyed Miracles (Discontinued)

3: Longest of Days

Taylor's POV

I think it's about 9:00 am. I have a management meeting at 12:00 and studio time around 3:00-5:00. Wow did not think this out very well. I guess the baby is coming with me.

I get up and shower and get dressed in a sundress and high heel boots.

Brush my hair, curl it nicer than my natural curls, and do my makeup.

I wake up Finley, after the long morning nap he had. I change his diaper and put him in a green jumper/footie.

Strapping him in his car seat, sticking a binkie in his mouth, and setting him by the door. I then go grab a bag and fill it with an extra binkie, blanket, bottles, diapers, wipes, and some extra clothes. I grab my purse, backpack I packed earlier and the car seat.

I sling my purse and the back pack over my shoulder and haul the car seat down to the elevator and then to my car. The click of the car seat set in place sounds as I set he seat in the stand. I leave the bag on the floor on the other side. Looking both ways and pulling out of my favorite parking spot, A13.

I walk in to the conference room with Finley in tow. We got a new table that's way bigger so we have lots of room. I sit down in my usual seat and set Finley down next to me. I pick him up out of the seat and sit him up on my lap. Bouncing my knee, I look up at everyone staring at me.

"What?" I say.

"You have a baby," Scott says obviously confused.

"Oh yeah, guys This is Finley, I'm watching him for about next 2 weeks. I found him in the park, and then blah, bla, blah. But either way, yeah," I say with a smile.

"Ok," Scott says unsure of how to process what I just said.

The meeting goes on and Finley sleeps in my arms the whole hour.

We finish and I head down and drop off my bag and purse in the studio. I grab about 20 dollars and head to get some lunch. I just carry Finley around with me. I'm only gone like 30 minutes.

On my way back I run in to some fans that come screaming at me. Great, I think and Finley starts crying.

"Hey guys," I say to the people coming up to me.

"Ok sorry, Taylor we didn't know you had a baby with you," one of the older girls says.

"It's ok, give me a minute," I say. I take the binkie I stuck in my pocket a half an hour ago and stuck it in Finley's mouth. He stops crying, I continue talking to the girls that came up to me.

We talk picture, talk and I sign a few autographs while one of them holds Finley. They don't even ask why I have him with me.

I make it to back and eat lunch around 2, then wait for studio time. Around 3, the other artist comes out and leaves. I take Finley in and set him in the car seat.

Nathan gives me the same look that Scott gave me. I quickly explain. He seems to be fine with it. We then start working on new tracks for the album. We have 12 tracks done and ready.

Finley wasn't as good this time, we had to stop frequently to get him to stop crying. It took twice as long to get stuff done.

We only got Long Live about halfway finished when time was up. I gathered my things. Said goodbye to Nathan, thanked him, grabbed Finley and left.

We got home and Finley and I laid on the carpet in the family room. I let him play with these rubber balls about the size of my hand. They bounce and roll, making me chase after him. He just crawls away after them. I laugh and him and have to keep being him back to the family room along with the ball. It's like fetch except the dog doesn't come back you have to find it too.

We play "fetch" for a while then he gets bored and lays on his back trying to eat his limbs. I again just laugh at him, he's adorable. And a baby, who doesn't like babies?

Around 6 I do the same trick and put him in the car seat and let him watch me make dinner for myself, it's just a little bit of spaghetti. It's weird eating alone but not alone. I'm eating with a baby watching my every move. Kinda a creepy.

I give him another bath, get him dressed in some pajamas, feed him and sing/Rock him to sleep. It works really well.

I'm so exhausted that after one Law and Order, I fall asleep on the couch.
But bed end up in my bed because the baby sleeps in my room, and like last night didn't sleep for long.
