The Hiddlestons

Ch 17

Taylor's POV
"TOM!" I scream. He rushes up with an ice pack. He sees the blood. "Sophie, let me see your head again." Tom says. Sophie has stopped crying and was half asleep on me until I yelled. "It's alright Tay, it's only a little bit." He tells me. I sigh of relief. Thank goodness it wasn't anything major. I hear Marie start to cry downstairs. I try to get up but Sophie clings onto me. "Soph, sweetie, you gotta let go of me for a few. Tom will stay up here with you. And you need to put the ice pack on your head." I say. "But I don't want you to go." She says. "I will be right back." I say and kiss her forehead. I walk downstairs to Marie. I feed her and she falls back to sleep.

Sophie's POV
We are in a car. I don't remember getting in the car. I look at whose driving. It's dad. But he looks different. "Dad." I say but he doesn't acknowledge me. "DAD!" I yell even louder. Mom is in the passenger seat. And Marie isn't in the car. "Mom!" I say. She doesn't hear me. "MOM!" I scream even louder. "WHERES MARIE!" I scream. Somehow there is music. And it keeps getting louder and louder. I'm shaking. Really bad. "MOM! DAD!" I scream even louder. Dad just drives straight ahead. Mom faces forward. We stop at the orphanage. "Out. Now." I get told. "What?! No. Please!" I say and start crying. I get kicked out of the car.
Sophie's POV
"Sophie. SOPHIE!" I hear someone yell. My eyes shoot open and I see Taylor. I get up and hug her and just cry. "Shh Soph." She says to me. I am really sweaty too. "What happened?" She asks me. "Y- you and t- Tom were going to give me back to the orphanage. Y- you guys kicked me out." I say sobbing into her. "It's okay, you're okay. It was only a dream." She tells me. I just cry even harder. It felt so real. "I remember tears streaming down your face when I said I'd never let you go. When all those shadows almost killed you light." She start singing softly to me. I start to calm down. She continues until I stop. She kisses the top of my head.
Taylor's POV
I put Sophie in bed and went to the bathroom. When I came out, I saw Sophie thrashing on the bed. I ran over to her to try and wake her up. I had to yell to get her awake. When she woke up, she started to cry and I held her close. She had told me what happened in her nightmare and I just sang to her. It calmed her down. I kiss the top of her head. "Soph, you know we would never give you back. We love you way too much to do that baby." I say to her. She nods her head. I don't know where she got the thought of us giving her back. That nightmare was from a thought. It seemed very detailed. I grab her phone and unlock it.
There was a text from her mom. it said "Sophie, it's your mom. I want you back. Please. Taylor and Tom are trying to send you back. You don't have to listen to me but I want you to know the truth. Come back home."
When I read the text, I was upset. Not the sad upset. But angry. I'm actually past that. I'm furious. This lady is trying to get into my daughters head. That's not okay. And why the hell would she want Sophie back once she gave her away. For the second time. "I'll be right back Sophie." I say and she nods. I walk downstairs. "Tom, I need you to look at this." I say and hand him the phone. I pick Marie up out of her travel crib and sit down on the couch. "What are we going to do?" I ask him. He sighs. "There's nothing we can do darling. At least right now." He says. I take the phone and it starts to ring. Tom takes it out of my hand.
Tom's POV
I answer the phone. Taylor is looking at me very scared. "Hello?" I say into the phone. "Give me my daughter back." I hear a woman say. "Who is this?" I ask not recognizing the voice. "This is Sophie's real mom." I hear her say. "You aren't her mom anymore. Taylor is. She is under our name now. She is a Hiddleston. We are her parents." I say to her. Taylor walks up to the phone. I put it on speaker. "That little slut isn't my daughters mother. I am. She needs to stay away from her." We hear her say. Taylor is very offended by this. "She isn't a slut. And she is Sophie's mother. Legal mother." I say and hang up the phone. Taylor's eyes start to tear up.
Taylor's POV
Sophie's birth mom called me a slut. "That slut." Was all that kept playing inside my head. Tom saw me offended by that and said I wasn't and he hung up. I started to cry. Not just tears rolling down my face, but actual sobbing. You would think I'm used to being called that, but it hurts a lot. It just hurts. Tom holds me close and I just cry into him. "Shh Tay, your okay. That lady doesn't know what she's talking about. I promise darling." Tom tells me and kisses the top of my head. I stop after about 10 minutes and we just sit there. We sat there for about an hour before I heard a loud bang come from upstairs.
