Karlie's P.O.V

Waking up from probably one of the best sleeps I've ever had to some struggling and a few light taps on my face. "Urgh Kimby go away..." I groan, snuggling into the pillow in my arms. But I wake up pretty quickly when she starts to cry. "Oh for god sake's Kimby..." I state sitting up but find that I'm unable to. "Wazz going on?" a voice mumbles from beside me, stirring. I quickly close my eyes and hope that I'm not secretly naked. "Karlie?" someone questions from next to me and the voice sounds surprisingly like Taylor. I turn over and face the voice and open my eyes to see a sleepy Taylor looking down on me. "Hey Tay,"
"What are you doing here?" I question but still realising that something is moving in my arms. I look down and see the small cute face of one Aubree Swift. "Oh my god, is this real?" I question looking at Taylor who frowns at me. "What do you mean?" she questions as I sit up and move Aubree so she's sitting next to me. I move and shove my legs over the side of my bed like I've been doing every day for the last almost six months. "Karlie?" Taylor questions once more, but this time she places a hand on my back lovingly like I've wanted her to do for months but instead I took that choice from her. "I'm sorry." I state looking at the door,
"What for babe?" Her voice hits me, and I can hear the emotion in her voice and the way she says 'babe' I can tell that she isn't bothered by the past few months but it bothers me, "I'm sorry I pushed you away and I never told you." I state turning back to face her with Aubree sitting in her lap. She looks at me and Aubree looks at me her eyes watching me like she is curious. "Karlie," she states making me look at her, "I was initially angry at you but I understand. I understand why you did what you did and I understand that you did what you felt was best at the time no matter how angry I was, I'm not anymore." She states making me look at her in shock. I know that if she had done to me what I've done to her I would be super mad. "It's not okay Taylor. I think I need you to be mad at me." I state feeling a frown cross my mind as I begin to think about what I just said, Taylor looks shocked and as she places Aubree down next to her she moves towards me and sits in front of me. Taking my hands in hers she makes me look at her and says, "Karlie I waited all this time to see you with my own eyes so I could tell you how much I love you." I look into her eyes and see the emotion there and I know that she is telling the truth. "I love you too." Taylor smiles at me and moves in and I quickly pull her in for a kiss. Our lips meet and I can feel the fire that burnt earlier on the couch is lighting quickly again. "Mmm...Karlie....Aubree." I move back from her and kiss her one last time on her nose and when I pull completely away I see that Aubree has made her way between Taylor and I and has protectively wrapped herself around Taylor. I chuckle to myself and say, "are you hungry?" I question. Taylor looks at the clock behind me and says, "Well it's almost bath time for Aubree so why not a quick dinner and then you can help me." She states making me smile and nod.
"Okay sounds good."

I climb off the bed and offer a hand to Taylor but Aubree smacks it away, Taylor scolds her but I burst out laughing. "Oh Taylor its fine," I laugh as Aubree buries her head into Taylor's shoulder. "Karlie she can't just hit people." Taylor states as she stands and we start to walk downstairs. I get to the bottom of the staircase and turn to help Taylor and to avoid Aubree hitting me again Taylor sets her down and she walks a few steps before stopping and sitting down. "Karlie is that you?" my mom questions. "Yeah mom, it's me." I say as I move towards the kitchen holding Taylor's hand. "What are we having for dinner tonight?" I question as we move through the kitchen, I feel Taylor turn around and once she sees that Aubree is following us she turns back around. "Oh my god, Tay is that you?" I turn around and see Kimby sitting at the table, I feel Taylor pull her hand away and make her way over to Kimby who is struggling to get up off her seat and they awkwardly fall into a hug that seems to last for at least five minutes. I smile and look at my mom who smirks at something behind me. I turn around and see Aubree watching Taylor and Kimby and she quickly stands up and wobbles a bit before almost running towards where Taylor is and as she gets ear me she reaches out and hugs my leg before crying out, "mama no!" I try to move to the side to let Aubree keep on walking towards Taylor but she doesn't she turns and looks at me and lifts her hands like she wants me to pick her up and for a second it reminds me of when she was little but I know that she didn't appreciate me kissing Taylor ten minutes ago so I'm a little reluctant. "Aww Aubree." Taylor coos as she comes closer but Aubree screams, "no!" and cries more hysterically which makes Taylor stop and look at me. I'm frozen in my place because I'm not sure what to do but Taylor looks at me and Aubree continues to cry and then my mom says, "oh for god sake's Karlie pick your daughter up!" My eyes open wide and Taylor turns towards my mom shocked, "what?" Kimby states. "Did you guys get married or something?" I reach down and scoop up Aubree who turns into my arms and stops crying as though she is comforted by me. "No Kimby, we did not. Mom, a word?" I question gesturing to the living room. She has her mouth open staring at me in shock. I move towards a still shocked Taylor and try to hand off Aubree, but she won't let me. "Just keep her with you Karlie, I need some air." She brushes past me and Kimby stands,
"I'll go with her. You talk to mom." I nod and turn to my mother who is still standing there shocked and to be honest I don't know what to say to her so I decide to be honest. "What was that mom?" I question as she looks at me, "I'm so sorry." She whispers as she moves towards the table and sits down.
