Forever And Always

Life With Jaidon

2 Days After Jaidon's Birth, Tuesday: 9:50 am

Taylor's POV

"Taylor, I'm just so happy Jaidon is quiet." Ariana says.

We're just sitting on the couch, talking.

"Me too. I think he's gonna be one of those cute, but shy kids. Like in the movies, there's always that one boy that is on the football and basketball team. They're very quiet but everyone seems to like him."

"We've used the words quiet and shy too much in like, 5 sentences."

"I know. Where's Sean?" I went with the kids for daycare and school but he was gone when I came back.

"He went to the studio. I think he's writing a song about Jaidon." She turns over on her back and gets on her phone.

"It would be a sad thing if your phone happened to drop, right onto your face." That's happened to me plenty of times.

"Taylor Nicole Grande, don't you dare touch me or my precious baby!"

"You're just trying to wake him up, aren't you." Jaidon is actually asleep in the portable crib, right next to the couch.

"No, not at all."

"Are you sure?" I start tickling her and she drops her phone on her face.

"Ow!" She yells.

"Oops." I say innocently, looking at Jaidon who just woke up.

Me and Ariana turn to him, all noise in the room gone, waiting for his next move. All he does is rub his eyes, then yawn, and go back to sleep.

"I would have slapped you if he started crying." Ariana says, getting on her phone again, this time laying on her stomach.

"Yeah right." I get on my phone and start a group message with my friends, Cameron, Peyton, Skai, Karan, Rowan, and Sabrina.

Me: Hey guys. Haven't seen you in about 2 weeks. What you been up to?

Peyton and Skai: Just hanging out. Wanna come to the park? If you do, can you bring Jaidon?

Sabrina and Rowan: Yes, please! I wanna see his cute little face in person. We saw him on Instagram, and Google.

Me: Maybe. I'll have to ask Ariana. Can, Karan, are you coming?

Cam: Yea, sure. See you there and don't take too long.

Karan: Yeah, we all know how you are. Anyways, I can't come. Filming for my new show. Maybe I can make it later. See ya.

Me: Dude, I live right across the street. All I have to do is walk and I'll be there. You're so over dramatic.

Cam: You love it. See you there.

Me: Bye.

I turn off my phone and turn around. Ariana was looking at the whole conversation.

"That's so sweet. I guess you can take my child with you."

"Ariana! Ever heard of my business?"

"No?" It sounds more like a question to me.

"Exactly, because it's mine!"

"Whatever. I'm going to Alexa's." Did I mention Alexa lives in LA now?

Well, she does, in a huge apartment with her boyfriend.

I slip my brown uggs on and Ariana does the same with her black heels.

"Bye." She kisses Jaidon, hugs me, and runs to her car.

I put Jaidon in his black stroller and walk across the street.

"Taylor!" Rowan runs up and hugs me.

She's the most friendly one of this group.

"Hi Rowan. How are you?" I push the stroller and she walks by my side, explaining that she's good and all that.

"Hi guys."

"Hey, spaghetti!" Sabrina has gotten a new habit of calling people by their favorite food.

"Hi, Sabrina..."

"Hi Taylor." After everyone does all their hugs and stuff, the subject finally veers to the baby.

"He's so cute!" Sabrina yells.

She pinches his cheeks and picks him up.

"See you guys later!" She starts walking away with him in her arms.

We all just sit there and wait until she comes back. I love how she's 17 but still so playful.

"Nothing?" She comes back and they all take turns holding him, then he gets fussy because of all the people passing him around.

I hand Skai his pacifier and she plops it in his mouth. Out of nowhere, flashes start to appear.

"It's the paps! They aren't even supposed to be in here." I put the baby in the stroller and everyone gets up.

Cameron pushes past them and everyone else makes a shield around me and the stroller.

"Get out of the way!" He yells.

"Are you freaking kidding me? He's 2 days old. Back the heck up!" I yell, but they don't listen.

We get onto the street and run to my house. They keep flashing pictures, even when we close the door.

"He's freaking 2 days old!" I pick up the crying baby and give him a bottle.

He doesn't want that so I give him a pacifier and put him in his crib.

"Taylor?" Ariana and Lexi come downstairs.

"Those crazy paparazzi. They attacked us. There should be some kind of rule that says they can't get within a certain distance of famous people. Your child is crying."

"Hi everyone."

"Oh, sorry. Hi Lexi." I hug her, as does everyone else, while Ariana goes to take care of Jaidon.
