Everything Has Changed- A Taylor Swift Fanfic

Chapter 16

I sit in the rocking chair, rocking slowly and feeding Ryan. He soon dozes off. I hold him close, but softly not wanting to wake him. Meredith is at my feet, watching over us.

Getting him home wasn't much of a hassle. Yes, there was paparazzi craning to get a view of him. Ed closely clutched Ryan wrapped up in a blanket. We're lucky we got home with Ryan. 

Ed sneaks in to get a picture of Ryan and I. He got awoken by the camera flash, but fell back asleep. Soon I doze off too, holding him.

I awake after what seems like hours, but was only half an hour. Ryan is no longer in my arms. I hear the soft strum of the guitar. I slowly tiptoe in Ryan's room, stopping outside of the doorway. Ed's softly strumming his guitar while Ryan's in his crib. I stand there for a minute appreciating the wonderful husband and child I've been blessed with. I take out my phone and take a picture to capture this moment and remember it. I sneak back downstairs to the living room.

I upload the picture to Twitter saying "Blessed with my beautiful son and husband."

I also check Ed's Twitter to see if he uploaded the picture of Ryan and I. Sure enough, he did. I re-tweet it and set it as my picture.

While Ed's watching TV and Ryan's in bed, I start to cook dinner. I clip the baby monitor to my belt. That's what every new mom should do. 

Ryan is fed one more time before I head to bed.

I wake up in the middle of the night, hearing the floor boards creek. Ed's right beside me, dead asleep. It's probably Meredith. I go to check on Ryan. He's sound asleep, and breathing, thankfully.  I enter the bathroom when I see something on the mirror written in red lipstick.

It reads "BETTER KEEP AN EYE ON RYAN." 

Somebody is trying to get him, and kill him. I run to get Ryan and clutch him close. I then run to wake up Ed.

"ED!" I yell.

"What's happening?" Ed springs up.

"Come see the bathroom mirror."

"It's your reflection." He  says lying back down.

"There's something written on it. Come on"

I show Ed what it says. Something's added on to it. "AND MEREDITH TOO."

"We have to call the police!" I exclaim.

Ed rushes to get the phone and within minutes the police are here. They take multiple samples and watch the security footage. 

The suspect is dressed in all black, from head to toe. She's spotted writing on the mirror just as I wake up. She sneaks out into the towel closet. I ran to get Ryan and she added on to the writing. She sneaks out the window. As the suspect climbs out the window we get a glimpse of deep red hair.

"We'll have to do some more investigating. But we will find the suspect." Says a police officer.

We no longer live in safety. There's someone on the loose trying to kill my baby. My Ryan.
