Kaylor Family One-Shots

Friendly Divorce

Taylor's P.O.V

"Well if that's how you view it then maybe you should just leave!" I scream at Karlie as she slams the door and exits the house. But before she can step even three feet from the door it flies open. "For fucks sake Taylor, that wasn't what I meant about it. But don't you think that as the mother of two that you should maybe change that image that your management so desperately wants? Hmm, what will Jackson and Isabella think in a few years when they are old enough to navigate the internet and they find that their mother was still having shirtless dancers involved in her shows at the age of thirty five." I turn around and face her really quickly and before I can say anything Karlie keeps on talking. "So what am I supposed to do, apologize for thinking about our children and the future that they both have ahead of them even in the spotlight with us." I shake my head in disbelief. "So let me get this straight, you don't like the fact that I am in my thirties and that I have a few shirtless male dancers onstage while I sing, and your now afraid that it's gonna affect our children. That's your excuse for your outburst, that's pathetic Karlie and you know it. So while you think over this big outburst that you've had tonight I'm going to be spending the night at my parents. Call me if anything changes but I don't know, maybe this is it." I state as I turn back towards the garage and climb into one of our family cars. Reversing out of the driveway I'm shocked to see Karlie still standing there watching me as I drive away.

A few hours pass and usually my phone would have rung and Karlie would be trying to talk to me and we would begin to sort things out but tonight nothing is happening and I'm not going to call her first. "Honey, maybe you need to consider something." I hear mom enter the room and talk to me and as I turn to face her I see the look on her face. "Mom...I-I..." she sits next to me and says nothing and barely shake her head. "What are you talking about Taylor, you and Karlie have been married for almost six years now. You have two beautiful children in Jackson and Isabella but is the fighting worth it. Is the fighting really worth it anymore?" Mom questions as she sits and looks at me. I burst into tears and she moves in so she can hug me. I pull back after ten minutes and say, "I think I'm done mom." She looks shocked but nods like she understands and that's why I stand up from my mom's embrace and reach for my cellphone.

Karlie picks up the call after four rings and says, "well I didn't expect you to call me," I can hear the sneer in her voice and it makes me sigh, "yeah I didn't expect to call you either but I did and I think we need to talk." I hear her sigh as she sits down most likely and then she says,
"Okay talk. What do you want to talk about, I'm sure you don' want to apologize so what is it." I sit down and my mom leaves the room to give me some privacy. "I think we should get a divorce Karlie. All we do is fight and while you're concerned about the dancers on tour that's not all there is to be concerned about so I think we need to sort this out." I state finishing quickly but not before I hear her gasp slightly. "So you want to get a divorce so we don't ruin our children's childhood but you want to interrupt it through sending both our three year old and one year old to different houses every week. How is that what's best for them?" Karlie questions as I sigh,
"Karlie why should we stay together when we fight constantly and it's clear that you and I don't see face to face on some aspects of our lives." I state trying to prove my point but all I hear is silence. "Karlie? Are you there?" I question into the phone.
"Yeah I'm here, but I don't want to discuss this anymore over the phone. So I guess we will both talk to our lawyers and go from there." Karlie states and it sounds cold and heartless but I know that it's my fault for it being that way due to the way that I've dumped this on her. The moment that we hang up I sigh and put my head back, it feels like a weight off my shoulders.

Karlie's P.O.V

Hanging up the phone from Taylor I lay my head down on the table in front of me and I sigh deeply. This decision seems like a weight off my shoulder because as out of the blue as the decision for Taylor and I to get divorced is it seems like the right choice and if it means that we have to do week about with Jackson and Isabella then I guess it's what we will have to do. I'm sure that if Taylor and I can manage to be best friends before we became wives then anything is possible.

Three months later...

"So it's all in the suitcase then?" I question Taylor as she gives Isabella and Jackson one last hug and kiss before handing them over to me for the next week. We managed to fast track our divorce since we lived in Nashville and not in New York which meant there were less hoops to jump through to get divorced and despite the fact that we have never signed a preup both of our lawyers pushed for us to take 50/50 from each other but one look at Taylor and the look on her face I could imagine that it was matched on mine. We both said that we wouldn't take anything from each other and so all we really had to figure out was property and child custody for the kids. It was agreed that we would both remain in the same city for the next five years so that's why we've both decided to stay in New York for the foreseeable future. "Yeah and the medicine that the doctor gave me last week for Jackson's asthma is also in the suitcase. Just in case he needs it," I nod and smile at the kids.
"Sounds good bab... I mean Taylor." I state covering my tracks but I catch the blush on Taylor's cheeks. It's hard to try and go back to the relationship that we had before we were married or even dating but we are trying for the good of the kids. I watch as Taylor then walks back away and down the stairs towards the SUV waiting outside, I know that she's planning a night out with Gigi and Martha who are in town, I caught up with them a few days ago and they said they were gonna have dinner with them. It's nice to think that we can still have the same friends and hang out and it's not awkward.

Six Years Later...

Taylor's P.O.V

I keep watching the clock, "mom when will mama be here?" I turn around and see a cute little version of Karlie watching me. "Isabella she will not be here any quicker even if you ask me every thirty seconds," I look down at the Kloss pout on her face and say, "look here missy, you need to make sure that you're ready for when mama comes so while I put out the rest of the treats for a little girls birthday party, you go and find Jackson." I watch Isabella nod and rush towards the living room where Jackson was last spotted playing video games. The next half an hour passes quickly and before I know it my parents have arrived, Karlie's parents are here and enjoying time with Isabella and Jackson and as our friends and family begin to arrive I get nervous. Karlie isn't here yet and the party started twenty minutes ago. "Mommy, where's mama?" Isabella questions me tugging on the end of my dress. Right at that moment Karlie rushes through the door and scoops Isabella up into her arms. "I'm so sorry that I was late baby, my car broke and I had to run here so I'm sorry, mama is so sorry." Karlie states as I smile and breathe out glad that at least Karlie is here now. Hours later as Isabella's birthday party ends with a lot of presents littering my living room but Karlie is still here, helping me tidy up and as we work side by side and chat about our day to day lives I'm thankful that even after all this time since we initially divorced that we have been able to remain friends and keep the friendship in tack. It's now that I know that it is possible in this crazy culture that we live in that you can have an amicable divorce and remain friends afterwards, Karlie Kloss and I are proof of that.
