You Belong To Me- Part 2 (KAYLOR)

370.

Two weeks have passed since the night in the treehouse and the girls were back in NY. They both agreed to not test until it was time for Taylor to get her period, to see if she misses it or not. At this point, her period is due within the next week. Taylor has been on edge and has lashed out at Karlie a few times but Karlie didn't care. The model just wanted to keep her wife from getting stressed out. She knew that with the loss of her last pregnancy, her stress level was gonna be high anyway, but she just did her best to do everything for her and make her life as easy as possible.

Taylor went back to work with her mother's foundation. It was a great way to keep her busy and her mind occupied on something other than if she was pregnant. Plus, Karlie was just a floor away and would come down to visit her wife frequently. However, with the agency booming and a fully functional staff, Karlie and Lily no longer had to be there everyday. It enabled Lily to go back to Nashville to be with her husband, since she dedicated more than eight months to her job. And Karlie decided that she would definitely be in the office at least twice a week for important meetings but aside from that, she worked with Taylor or she stayed home with the baby.

Today was one of those days that Taylor got up in a cranky mood. She woke up a little later than she would have liked and that seemed to throw her way off, even though Karlie was still home. She grabbed the baby, changed her quick and brought her downstairs to eat. When Karlie got downstairs, she reminded Taylor that she was gonna be home all day and that she'd take care of the baby.

"Oh yeah, sorry. I completely forgot. I'm gonna head in now. I'll call you later." Taylor kissed her wife and daughter and scurried out of the apartment.

"Well, it's just you and me bean. What do you think we should we do? Let's paint mommy a picture."

At Mikayla's age, making a mess is one of her most favorite things to do. Karlie and Taylor allow her to explore everything, whether they finger paint or make mud pies in the backyard, they want her to have fun but also make it educational.

The two of them sat at the table that Karlie covered with a plastic covering. She then set out two big poster boards and bowls of different colored paints. Together, they dipped their hands and then smeared them on the posters.

"Mama mess."

"Yeah, we're making a big mess but look at how pretty your picture is. Mommy is gonna love it."

After three hours of painting and then playing playing with play dough, the two decided to visit Taylor at work.

"Come on bean, let's go pick out an outfit."

Playing games wasn't the only way they allowed their daughter to express herself. Karlie read in a baby book that parents should allow children as young as two to pick out their own clothes and let them wear whatever they chose, regardless of how silly it may be. So, Karlie decided to do just that. They walked into Mikayla's walk-in closet and began to look at all of her clothes. Karlie was pretty sure what the baby was going to pick out because it was something she loved dressing in.

"Ok bean, what do you want to wear? Pick whatever you want."

She immediately walked over to her purple tutu, which is exactly what Karlie knew she'd pick. Karlie then grabbed five different pairs of leggings which were a mix of solids, stripes and polka dots.

"Pick one bean."

Of course she selected the green and white stripped tights.

"Now, we need a shirt. Which one do you think?"

"Dora mama."

"Well then, Dora it is."

Karlie proceeded to dress her daughter in a Dora the Explorer t-shirt, green and white stripped tights and a purple tutu. She then put her shoulder length dirty blonde hair in two pigtails. Two top it off, she wore her princess sneakers that lit up when she walked.
