Taylor's POV:
It gets to the next day and I begin by dressing my youngest daughter. Ev has been far more into dressing herself recently which is great on my part.
A and Catherine walk in with breakfast and Ev practically leaps on them, informing them that she's got 1st dibs. I sigh and laugh as Maya runs round madly to get some too. There's a knock on the door of the trailer and I stand to get it, I open the door widely to see someone I didn't plan on laying my eyes on for a long while.
Ed's POV:
The album is dropping next week so I decided to fly in to surprise A at her show, they have seemed to be going great as am I.
I knock on the trailer door and listen to the padding of feet come to open the door. The door swings wide open and there I see a bright, smiling, stunning woman who I just so happen to be head over heels for; except she doesn't feel the same. She notices me and her face drops, things will never be the same.
Arri's POV:
I walk to the door if the trailer that Mom had left open to see Ed. I grin and hug him tightly.
"I have something to show you," He pulls a CD out his bag. My smile widens by at least a metre and I see his do the same.
"What's that Daddy?" Ev clambers onto Ed's lap as we sit in the trailer.
"It's my music monkey,"
"Oh,"
Mom walks past us, with no acknowledgement, carrying Maya on her hip despite her ability to walk.
"Sorry A," Ed apologises, "I didn't know,"
"Nah, it's fine. She still loves you and all that though," I tell him honestly.
I sit backstage when Mom walks up to me; "A, I want to show you something," She speaks quietly and I stand up.
"Sure, what is it?"
"I've written a song, the first one since Ed." She whispers and I smile. "I recorded it,"
"Can I hear?"
"Uh, I guess." Mom picks up a guitar and sings a gorgeous song. (Song- Kindly Calm Me Down (Originally by Meghan Trainor)).
By the end Mom has single, silent tears dripping down her face.
"It's not for Tom?" I ask softly as I hug her tightly.
"It's him A, it's always been him." She murmurs as the door handle turns.
Ed's POV:
I go to walk into Arri's dressing room as I hear Taylor's voice and the strumming of a guitar. I listen to the song and fall in love with the lyrics instantly. Shame it's about Tom. It ends and I begin to knock until I hear conversation.
"It's not for Tom?" What?
"It's him A, it's always been him." My mouth drops open and I feel my hand turn the door handle. Taylor looks at me as she releases herself from Arri's arms.
"I'm just gonna go see Shawn," A stands and walks out. She closes the door softly behind her and I walk in further.
"You heard that, didn't you?" Taylor looks me in the eyes and I nod.
"I need you Taylor," I find words spilling from my mouth.
"It's not that easy Ed," She begins as I quickly land my lips on hers. She kisses back and for a second I forget everything.
"I know but we can figure it out," I whisper as she stands.
"No PDA, I can't have Tom finding out through the media," Tay gulps and sits back down again. I sit beside her as she rests her head in the crook of my neck gently.
"Anything for you darling," I say quietly as the door creaks open.
"Momma! Daddy! You together again?" Ev runs in with Maya at her heels.
"What do you think?" Tay questions as the find their way on to our laps.
"Yeah!" Maya squeals and bounces up and down in my lap.
"You guessed right little one," I say and kiss the top of her head quickly as Arri enters again.
"Well this is cute," She sighs as Taylor pulls her into a hug. "Sorry but you've got to let your big girl go now Mom, I've got a meet and greet," Taylor pouts but A proceeds to kiss her cheek as she lets go of her waist.
"Fans!" Maya giggles and holds her arms up towards A.
"Only cos you're cute," A picks her up and walks out again.
