What You Call Love
C25
I walk out of my bedroom as I throw my hair up in a bun since it was still wet from the shower I just had. I wasn't going to bother Ema since she was probably still sleep so when I was half way downstairs, I heard Ema.
I run back up the stairs and open the door to Emas bedroom to see her standing up in her crib. Her hands were locked on the rib of her bed asshe her eyes were locked on mine with a large smile on her face.
"Hello mommys angle." I said with a huge smile on my face. Ema held her arms up once I started to walk toward her. I picked her up and held her under my arm. She laid her head on my chest and looked up at me.
"Hi mama." She said.
I walked out of Ema's bedroom with her with me and walked downstairs to finish cooking dinner. As I entered the kitchen I stopped and examined Harry as his back faced me.
He had no shirt on, his back dimples were completely noticeable at the fact that his sweatpants her pulled down just enough to see them.
"Ahem." I cleared my throat. Harry instantly turned around from what he was doing. I watched as he looked at Ema and smiled, she smiled back. But when his eyes finally met mine, he did that smile that he knew I hated and loved at the same time. But this time, I only loved it.
Wait, hold up Taylor. You have a boyfriend! A loving, handsome boyfriend who loves you! What are you doing? I thought to myself. This whole day Terrell hasn't even crossed my mind and that's what scares me, because there was never a day he left my mind!
"Hey daddy's princess." Harry dropped the fork into the counter and walked over to where I was standing, holding Ema. He held his hands out and looked at me with his eyes asking to hold her.
I handed Ema over to Harry and just watched at how well he interacted with her. From how protectively he held her, trying to not let go to how he would make her laugh just by looking at her. It was amazing how fast they've gotten close in a short period of time.
"Here you go." Harry handed Ema back to me and walked back to what he was doing before I came downstairs. I decided to take a seat at the table and watch Harry at whatever he was going.
"Mama, I hungry." Ema whined. I got up from my seat and walked over to the fridge. But as I opened it, Harry instantly closed it back. I looked up at him with a confused look on my face.
"There's a surprise in there." Harry said holding the fridge shut with one hand and holding a bowl with a whisk in it in the other.
"Ema's hungry though. I need to feed her." My hand found the fridge again to try to open it, but Harry was just too strong, especially since I was holding Ema in one arm. So I just gave up.
"Dinner will be done in about ten minutes. Please just wait Taylor." I rolled my eyes and sucked my teeth at Harry as I walked back to my seat.
I tapped my nails on the marble counter as my right leg shakes up and down from the anticipation Harry was causing. My eyes never left Harry as he bent over and pulled something out of the oven.
"Mama! I hungry!" Ema whined again. I instantly got up from my seat as Harry laid food on the counter.
"Dinner is served." I walked back to my seat and sat down as Harry revealed the foods with a big smile on his face. My lips parted as my eyes grew wide as I looked down at the food. It was the food Harry would always cook me, my favorite.
"Harry, how did you remember?" I said shocked and in disbelief as I stared down at the food.
"How could I forget? Every moment we spent together you wanted me to cook this. When we were sitting down and watching television toy would ask me to make you this. In the middle of the night, you would ask me to make you this. If we were in the middle of nowhere, you would ask me to make this for you. But did I whine or suck my teeth? No, because if it made you happy, I was happy." Harry's voice grew into a whisper as he said the last part as if I wasn't able to hear what he said. But I heard it, I heard all of it.
Harry laid three plates in front of us as he sat down on the other side of Ema since she was sitting in her chair in the middle of the both of us. Harry handed me a fork and handed Ema a plastic pink one.
"Eat up."
A smile appeared on my face as I took another bite of the food Harry had made for us. I looked over at Ema who was munching it up like I was the last food on Earth!
"Small bites Ema.." I warned her. She looked up at me and nodded her head wildly up and down as she smiled showing all the food in her mouth off. I swear, my daughter is a handful. I closed my eyes and took another big bite of my food. Once I opened my eyes I saw Harry who was staring at me, holding in a laugh.
"And your telling Ema to take small bite?" My hand blocked my mouth as I ate. I didn't want Harry to see how fat my cheeks were in they were filled with food. I probably looked like a chipmunk! I just gave Harry a playful glare and continued eating the food.
Once we were all done, I gathered all the plates up and piled them into the sink, letting the water rinse them until I was able to actually clean them.
"Um Harry?" I asked. He looked up at me from playing with Ema, giving me his attention.
"Can you run the water upstairs, I'm going to bath Ema and I'm kind of busy right now so it would be great if you can run the water for me." He nodded his head up and down saying yes as he picked Ema up from her seat and walked upstairs to the master bathroom.
(Harry's POV)
"Time to get clean Ema.." I said as I sat Ema on the toilet as I turned the water on from the bath tub.
"Yeah! Ema getting cwean!" Ema shouted and throw her hands into the air which made me laugh. I got down on my knees as I held my hand under the water to test the temperature.
"Taylor? How hot do you want the water?" I yelled to Taylor who was downstairs.
"Not to hot or not to cold! It needs to be warm!" She yelled back to me. When the water felt about right I took the clogger
( the thing that stops the water from going down the drain)
and stuffed it into the drain. I picked Ema up and sat her in my lap as my back was held up against the wall. I took her clothes off her and protectively laid her in the water.
"Is it to hot or to cold Ema?" I said as I cupped a handful of water in my hand and dumped it onto her body.
"It's fine dada." She said and smiled at me. I heard foot steps coming from downstairs to upstairs so it must be Taylor.
"Hey guys..." She said with a large smile on her face. Ema waved at Taylor and splashed water all around as she plopped her hands in and out of the water. I scooted my body over to let Taylor have so room to sit next to me and bathe Ema.
I watched Taylor as she picked up the bottle of Baby Johnson and squirted some into her hand. Taylor rubbed the soap together in both of her hands to lather it up, and placed it on Ema's head making her head full of curls dripping wet.
As Taylor proceed to lather Ema's body in soap, I just watched Taylor. I watched as her eyes would brighten every time she would at Ema. I watched as just by the look on Taylor's face, how much she loves Ema. And when my queen and princess are Happy, I'm happy.
I instantly got cut off from my deep thoughts when Taylor asked me a question.
"Can you bathe her when I got and try to find her pink duck? That's the only duck she likes when she's bathing." Taylor said as she stood up.
"Yeah." I said as I began to rinse the soap from her hair. I heard as Taylor walked out the bathroom and Ema looked up at me, with those big beautiful eyes.
"Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful." I sung to Ema. I always dreamed that I would sing this song to my daughter one day, and the fact that I'm able to down is indescribable.
"Isn't she precious, my baby's three years old." Yeah I changed the words up. I chuckled as I watched Ema's small body move side to side as I sung the song to her.
"I never thought through love we'd be, making one lovely as she."
(Taylor's POV)
I grabbed the duck from the other bathroom and started to walk back into the bathroom where Harry and Ema was. Once I reached the bathroom I smiled.
"I foun-" I cut myself off as my heart melted from what my eyes were witnessing.
What I was watching was beautiful. It made me smile ear to ear. It made me forget about all the hurt I've been through. It was all I ever wanted.
