You Belong To Me- Part 2 (KAYLOR)

334.

"Mommy juice."

"You want some juice sweetheart?"

"Yes."

"Yes what Mikayla? What do you say?"

"Peese."

"Here you go honey. Where's mama?"

Mikayla just looked towards the hall and pointed.

"HEY KAR, YOU DOWNSTAIRS?"

"I'M UP HERE TAY. BE DOWN IN A MINUTE."

A few minutes later Karlie came down the stairs and rounded the corner as she made her way to the kitchen.

"Hi Mama."

"Hi bean. I love you."

"Wuv you."

Karlie wrapped her arms around her wife's waist.
"Hey baby. Miss me?"

"I did actually. What were you doing?"

"I was just on the phone with Lily, going over a few things."

"Everything ok Kar?"

"Oh yeah, everything is fine. Your dad and Lily are holding it down. It's nice to have them as part of the team. So, what is my incredibly hot wife up to?"

Karlie couldn't help but kiss the back of her wife's neck and then her shoulder, while she squeezed her a little tighter. If there was one thing Taylor loved, it was the affection Karlie showed her all the time. She loved the attention.

"I was just cleaning the kitchen as Mikayla was running around with the dogs. Babe, what are we doing for Thanksgiving this year? Are we gonna feed the homeless like we did last year?"

"We can if you like. What do you want to do?"

Taylor turned around in her wife's arms and wrapped her arms around her neck. "This might sound bad but, I kinda don't want to be here for the holiday. Like, we can still do the same thing we did last year and pay for it all but I rather just hire caterers to serve the crowd. It's just that...."

Taylor released her wife and began to walk away as she looked out the window.

"Tay, what's the matter?"

"I've been having a lot of nightmares lately of when my mom died and not having her here is really affecting me this year. I thought it would get easier with each year that passed, but it's not."

"Why haven't you said anything to me?"

"Because I know how much spending the holidays with your family means to you and I didn't want to take that away from you and be selfish."

Karlie sat on the counter top and just looked over at her wife. "Babe, come here."

Taylor walked over and stood between her wife's legs. Karlie gently pushed pieces of Taylor's hair behind her ears as she said, "Listen to me, this is our family, right here in this room, and I'm gonna do whatever YOU want to do. If you want to go away, just the three of us, then we will. My mom can watch the cats and dogs. If you want to stay here and watch home videos all day and cry, I'll do that too. I don't want you to keep your feelings all bottled up inside. I'm not going to get upset with whatever you decide. I love you and we have many years to have more Thanksgivings with all of our family. Just talk to me, that's all I ask. When you're upset, I want to know about it. I may not be able to fix it but I don't want you to ever go through it alone. Ok?"
