Kaylor Family One-Shots

Quinn and the Bear named Oscar

Karlie's P.O.V

"Quinn, come on we need to go." I call looking at Taylor who is nursing our youngest Andrew who is only four months old and still needing to be fed every four to six hours. "I'm here mama," she says as she walks in and looks over at Andrew with a bit of disgust. I give her a weird look and pick up the keys to our car before ushering Quinn out the door. As we exit I can see that security is doing a sweep of the property while also looking at myself and Quinn as we get into our new 2017 BMW X5 M SUV which was a gift for Taylor and I when Andrew was born in January. We also got the entertainment booster pack which included TV screens in the back of the driver and passenger seats which will keep Quinn entertained when we are traveling anywhere. But for now my goal is to take Quinn shopping and make her feel special.

The road to the local shopping centre near Rhode Island doesn't have many clothing stores for Taylor or I but for Quinn she's more interested in toys so the big Toy Warehouse that it only thirty minutes from our house is the perfect place to take Quinn, she's been such a good help to Taylor and I since Andrew arrived but I know that she's not enjoying no longer being the apple of our eye. She was excited to be a big sister six months ago when we were buying her lots of books about being a big sister but now it's like a switch has flipped and she no longer cares about being the best big sister. The books no longer sit out where they used to on display with her being proud of them.

As we pull up to the Toy Warehouse Quinn starts to struggle with her booster seat and the seatbelt but she soon stops as I look at her after turning off the car. "Quinn..." I speak sternly making her pause and look at me, "mama, I sorry..." she states stopping her movements and waiting for me to get her like always, I nod and gather my purse together before opening the door and stepping out and moving towards Quinn's door. I open the door and look at Quinn who is patiently waiting for me to reach in and undo her belt, "do we need the chair Q?" I question as she shakes her head, "you gonna be a good girl then?" She nods and grins at me,
"Yes mama, Quinn'll be good." I nod at her and undo the belt before lifting her into my arms, as she cuddles into me I hold her tightly and shut the door, locking the car I move towards the shop and as we enter the girls toy section I put Quinn down and she stays close until she sees the teddy bears at the end of the row, I watch a big smile cross her face and then she sprints towards them and looks in wonder. "Can I mama?" She questions looking at me.
"Well, I think that you can have a little teddy and then come and pick some blocks for you to play with." I say making Quinn nod and grab the brown teddy bear that looks like Mr Smuff at home, Mr Smuff is Quinn's teddy that goes everywhere with her even going to preschool with her three days a week. "What are you gonna call him missy?" I question Quinn as she hugs the teddy close. "Oscar," I look at her and smile.
"Bunny, you can't name him after Oscar the security man," I state laughing as she giggles.
"Yes mama, yes..." she cries as I smile and hold out my hand to hold the bear while she grabs some blocks for herself.

It only takes her an extra ten minutes to get the blocks before we are making our way towards the checkout. A familiar face peers over at us from behind the desk and looks down at Quinn who giggles, "Shan-non..." Quinn states sounding out her name as Shannon is our regular Rhode Island babysitter for Quinn, she's been to visit Andrew but not babysat both at the same time, I don't think either Taylor or I would ever subject Shannon to taking care of both. "Yeah baby it's Shannon, can you hand her Oscar and the blocks?" Quinn hands them over to Shannon who scans them and hands Oscar back to her as I take the blocks and hand over the money, Shannon accepts, thanks us and we leave so I can take Quinn for ice-cream. "How about some ice-cream Quinny?" I question as I strap her in and she smiles and says, "chocowate?" I nod and kiss her forehead with love before getting into the drivers seat and driving us to our favourite café which does the best ice-cream ever.

"Well if it isn't Mrs Karlie Kloss, come to see us again?" Sonia calls from the counter as I bring Quinn in with me and set her down next to my feet, she doesn't say much only staying next to me and waving to Sonia. I smile at her and say, "how about that ice-cream?" I question as Quinn looks up at me and nods. I quickly order us a chocolate ice-cream in a bowl for Quinn and myself an iced chocolate. We sit at the table and I look at Quinn before I say, "you know that no matter how much you avoid your brother he will still be here no matter what." Quinn grabs a scoop of ice-cream before shoving it in her mouth and looking at me. "Yes..." she begrudgingly states looking at the ice-cream and nodding. "Your mom and I love you and Andrew equally okay, that's not going to change. We love you Quinn." I watch as she nods and when we leave she hands me Oscar, "no you hold him Quinny, we're going home." I say as she continues to hold him so I take him, then Quinn says, "give him to baby..." I nod and say,
"Maybe you should give him to Andrew, he'd like that." I say and Quinn nods taking the bear back and taking my hand so I can put her into the car.

The moment that we arrive home and I let her out and open the front door she rushes towards the lounge where she last saw Taylor with Andrew and she says, "mommy, Oscar, baby..." she states running out of breath and Taylor looks to me and says, " what is she on about Kar?"
"She means Oscar, her new bear. She wants Andrew to have it okay." Taylor nods and takes Quinn by the hands and leads her upstairs I assume to Andrew's new nursery that he's just begun to sleep in during the day. When Quinn returns five minutes later she heads for the crafts table in the corner and begins drawing up a storm. Taylor returns with Andrew and hands him to me, I rest him on my chest and he settles as Quinn brings me a drawing and places it next to Andrew and I saying, "for Drew mama." That's when I knew that my talk with Quinn had an impact and that she now appreciates Andrew and accepts him which makes me think that I've gained some knowledge about parenting and I now don't feel so inadequate. It makes me prepared to handle Andrew when Taylor starts talking about number three.
