You Belong To Me- Part 2 (KAYLOR)

301.

News of Andrea's passing shocked the world. Fans and celebrities were heartbroken and left countless messages on every social media site. The question many had was how in the world was this family able to keep such a secret hidden from the world.

The private funeral service was beautiful. The church was filled with white lilies and purple orchids, which were Andrea's favorite flowers. Karlie and Taylor's home was filled with their closest friends and family that gathered together to celebrate Andrea's life.

A slideshow had been created to show early photos of Andrea as a child, all the way up to their most recent family vacation. It played continuously in the living room as many gathered to watch. Taylor and Austin had been a mess since the day their mom died. The singer really kept to herself, surrounding herself with only Karlie and Mikayla. Austin relied on Kimby but even Kariann and Kristine proved to a great support system for him as well.

Taylor walked around almost in a daze as friends of hers pulled her in for hugs to offer their condolences. Karlie just watched closely until she could tell that Taylor had enough. As Ella was speaking to her wife, Karlie walked over and excused herself.

"Tay, can I talk to you for a minute?"

The singer just nodded as Karlie grabbed her hand and led her up the stairs. When they got to their bedroom, she pulled her wife in for a hug as Taylor began to cry against her chest.

"I love you baby. We are going to get through this together. You tell me whatever you want to do, or go and I'll make it happen Taylor. You don't have to go back down there. I'll stay up here with you for as long as you want." The model kissed the top of her wife's head as she continued to hold her.

Tracy had noticed Karlie and Taylor go upstairs, so she took over with the guests, explaining that Taylor was with her wife and may not be back down for the remainder of day. She walked over to Lily, who was holding Mikayla and thanked her for watching the baby.

"I don't mind at all. I can stay for as long as they need me to." Lily said.

"Thank you so much, but you need to get back to your husband. I'm going to be here for a little longer. Kristine and Kariann fly back tomorrow and Kimby has been staying with Austin. I'm not sure what the girls plans are at this point. If they'll be staying here or going to back east."

"Ok. Well, I'll probably take a flight home tomorrow morning." Lily replied.

Back upstairs, the two girls were now laying down face to face. Karlie cupped the side of her wife's face as she brushed the singers cheek with her thumb. "I wish I could take your pain away and make everything better."

"I know you do. I'm just really grateful that I have you and Mikayla." Taylor replied.

"You're always gonna have us." Karlie said as she sat up. "Speaking of our bean, I'm gonna go get her. Do you want anything to eat or drink while I'm downstairs?"

Taylor just smiled as she pulled her wife back down and kissed her lips softly. "I love you so much. Thank you for everything."

"I love you too baby. I'm never leaving you Taylor. I already told you, you're stuck with me for life. Now, I'm gonna go get our little girl." Karlie gave her wife another quick kiss before heading downstairs.

"How is she?" Selena asked as Karlie appeared.

"She's overwhelmed and devastated. I told her that she should stay upstairs if she wanted. She's really trying to be strong and put on a brave face but I'm worried about her. If you want to go up and see her, you can. I just don't want everyone to stress her out any more than she already is."

"I'm gonna let her rest. Maybe I'll stop by in a few days, when she's feeling more herself. Tell her to call me if she needs to talk."

"Ok, I'll do that. Thank you for coming Selena."

Karlie zoned in on Lily across the room and made her way over. "How's my bean doing?" The model asked as she picked the baby up and gave her kisses.

"She's perfect as usual." Lily replied. "Is Taylor resting?"

"I don't know if resting is the right word. She's upstairs but her mind is all over the place. I told her to just take time for herself and stay upstairs if she needs to. She's absolutely heartbroken and there's nothing I can do to fix it. I just worry about her constantly, ya know? I mean, I know with time, she'll begin to heal but she's just totally devastated."

"Kar, why don't you guys go to your home in St. Louis? It may do her some good to be out in the country with just you and the baby."

"I was actually thinking about that. The treehouse holds many memories with her mom and I was thinking that maybe it would be a good idea to just get her away. Right now, paparazzi is all over us because everyone wants to ask questions about Andrea. I told her I'll take her wherever she wants to go, but she hasn't mentioned any particular place yet."

"Heyyy, look at this cutie pie! Can I hold her?"

Karlie looked over to see Cara and Behati standing there. They had just arrived, since leaving the church two hours ago.

"Dude, where'd you guys go?" Karlie asked as she handed Mikayla over to Cara.

"Oh, well....you know...we got lost!" Cara replied with a devilish grin as she looked over at Behati.

Karlie looked around really quick to make sure no one else was around, "Are you two back together? You didn't....um....'reconcile' after CHURCH did you?"

"Define 'reconcile'. Cara said as she threw her head back and began to laugh.

"Oh forget it. I can't keep up with you two." Karlie replied as she shook her head. "Come on, do you guys want to go see Taylor? I was gonna make her a plate of food and bring the baby up to her."

"Yeah." Behati replied. We'd love to see her."

Once Karlie put a dish together, the girls went upstairs to check on the singer.

"Hey you." Behati said as she gave Taylor a hug. "How are you doing?"

"Well, I'd be lying if I said I was fine because I'm not. But I have an amazing wife who has been my rock through all of this." Taylor said as she grabbed Karlie's hand.

"Tay, your daughter is awesome. I can play with her all day long. Look at this cute little face. She looks like she's in deep thought." Cara said as she tickled the baby's chin.

"Umm, she's pooping." Taylor replied as everyone began to laugh.

"Well then, let me just hand her right over to you."

Taylor took her daughter and started chuckling as she left the bedroom and headed to Mikayla's room to change her. Karlie followed behind and wrapped her arms around Taylor's waist as the singer placed her hands on top of her wife's.

"I love you." Karlie whispered into the side of Taylor's neck as she kissed it gently.

"I love you more."
