A Little Too Late (Third book to Adopted by Taylor Swift)

Epilogue

Taylor's POV

It's been a year and a half since Audrey graduated and Mason is a senior this year. I toured in the US for my 1989 tour that lasted about six months. Harry and I got remarried for the third time and thankfully it's going well. I don't know why we've gone back and forth so many times and not actually stuck to it, but this time I know for sure that I never will let him go.

Christmas time is in the air and the family was coming over for Christmas Eve. Audrey is coming home from college and she changed her degree to journalism because of Mason's suggestion and she's super excited about the change. Her and Blake are still together and he actually moved down to the community college there just for her. I find it all kinds of adorable and it really shows the love he has for her. I'm honestly just happy she's not pregnant.

Bridget's little girl McKenna is now three and she is the most amazing child I've seen. She now knows how to walk and talk and she is so damn funny. She's kind of like a parrot where she repeats what Niall and Bridget say and to keep it clean; well... she's just funny.

Harry, Mason and I were all at the airport waiting for the couple to land. Harry was entertaining Mason on the move-able walkway as I sat watching them eating my Cinnabon. Mason tripped a couple times and my husband got yelled at by the security that he was going the wrong way, but as soon as he left, Harry got right back on it 'surfing'.

"Mom!" Audrey drops her bags and starts to run towards me. I haven't seen her since summer and it really starts to wear me down, I want her home with me but I also understand that my baby girl needs to grow. She's still the small 5'5 girl I raised but just looks way more mature and beautiful. Not that she wasn't beautiful before, she's just more pretty.

"I've missed you!" she grabs me tight and I quickly kiss her on the forehead, holding her close to me. "Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas to you too mom" she smiles and hugs Harry before jumping on Mason and ruffling his hair. I give Blake a hug and grab their bags before we all head out to the car. "You would not believe what happened to Blake the other day"

"Is this a good or bad story" Harry looks at Audrey in the rear view mirror and smiles

"good, trust me" she smiles back and Harry holds my thigh as he drives. "okay, so we were walking down the street after getting lunch and guess who we ran into!"

"WHO!?" Harry gets over excited and she punches his arm.

"Go on babe, tell the story."

"It's actually not as big of a story that she makes it out to be" he laughs and looks over at Audrey, "we ran intoLewis Hay who is a major CEO of a company I've been wanting to intern with."

"He offered Blake a job on the spot for advertising his company!" Audrey shouts and gets so excited she can't even sit in her seat

Blake chuckles and looks over at her, "yes, he gave me an internship and when I graduate I can become a worker there"

"Wow, congratulations Blake!" I turn to smile at him and he returns one. Part of me hates the fact that he got the job because if they stay together Audrey will stay down with him and I don't want to think of my little girl staying in Florida. But as Harry says "once they go to college, they're on their own" and really she is an adult now, I just half expected her to do what Bridget did and move only 20 minutes away. I am in every way proud of her though.

We make it home and Bridget surprises Audrey with a cake to the face and soon enough my house is filled with whipped cream and cake. One thing I don't miss about Audrey being here is not having to clean up after her.
