The Apartment
Taylor's POV

I was woken up out my sleep by the sound of Calvin's crying on the baby monitor. I felt for Chad, but apparently he was gone. Oh right today's Monday. I dragged myself out of bed into Calvin's nursery. I hated to see my son cry. "What's wrong baby?"

He threw his fist in the air.

"You're hungry aren't you? My baby boy is starving. Come on let's get some food in your tummy wummy," I cooed, lifting him up.

I walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. I came up with a schedule. Early mornings I breastfeed, whenever necessary, which is usually every 4 hours and then I pump so later on we either use milk or formula. My thoughts were interrupted by keys jingling in the door. Chad's not due home for another few hours. The door opened and I really didn't bother getting up.

"Troy?"

"Buenos dias Taylor. Chad wanted someone to stay with you while he's gone."

"Why aren't you at the school?"

"I injured my knee last night during practice. Doctor Kelly said it'd be best if I take it slow for a few days," he walked over to the sofa but quickly covered his eyes.

"Whoa, sorry Tay. Why didn't you say you were breastfeeding?"

"Troy you've seen Bethany do it a million times before."

"There is a difference though. Bethany is my sister."

"I suppose you're right in a sense."

"I know I am."

"Fine pass me a baby blanket from the diaper bag on the kitchen counter."

He shrugged, "You could continue if ya want. I'm just saying, wouldn't you feel a bit uncomfortable with me being here?"

"Don't act like you've never seen anything on me before."

"I see your point."

"No I wouldn't feel uncomfortable Troy." I looked down to see Calvin staring at me. "Hey sweetie pie, you're really hungry aren't you?"

Troy took a seat next to me.

"He's already eating like a little Danforth."

"He couldn't be a bigger blessing though."

"How are you and Chad doing?"

"We're okay ya know with juggling his schedule and so forth. Otherwise we're alright relationship wise," I looked down to see Calvin had latched off.

"Troy can you pass me the rag next to you? I need to burp Calvin." I fixed my shirt and my bra and Troy had rested the rag on my right shoulder.

"Is he sleeping through the night now?"

"Uh yeah normally he doesn't wake up till around 6 or 7 o'clock. It's a pretty simple schedule with him." I heard a small belch come from Calvin's mouth.

"It seems easy enough."

"Yeah, if you minus him, waking up at two or 3 o'clock in the morning- with cries loud enough to wake the dead."

He chuckled, "They never said it would be easy Tay."

I looked down and lifted Calvin up. "Come on sweetie let's get you back to bed." By the time I reached the nursery he was already sleeping. Kissing his forehead, I laid him back down gently in his crib, "Sweet dreams baby."

I went back outside, quietly closing the door behind me. I was greeted with Troy who was propped up on his elbow on the chair.

"Is he sleeping?"

"Yeah he fell asleep right after I burped him. He should be asleep for a few more hours." Lately it seems as if Troy and I don't talk as much anymore. "Are you hungry?"

"If I was hungry, I wouldn't hesitate to make something to eat."

"That didn't answer my question."

"I am starving."

"Thank you. How does a cheese and ham omelet with bacon and a blueberry muffin sound?"

"It sounds delicious."

"I'm glad to hear because I'll be making that for myself while you enjoy whatever cereal Chad has in the cupboard."

He smiled, "Ha ha very funny Tay."

I skipped into the kitchen and opened the fridge to get some eggs when Troy scared the bejeezus outta me. "Holy shhh….Troy! What the hell?" I dropped everything and clutched my chest. It felt as if my heart would explode at any given moment.

He stood there in all his cockiness and satisfaction smirking at me. "Did I scare you?"

"Do you want me to hurt you?' I raised an eyebrow and sighed. "Are you gonna help me clean this up?"

He smiled, picking up the broken egg shells from the floor. He kept this…look on his face that almost made me want to ask him what devious thought ran through his mind.

"Even back in high school you and Chad always did enjoy scaring the mess outta me and Gabi. Oh yeah you were the ideal boyfriend alright," I rolled my eyes.

"I loved you nevertheless Tay," he stopped to stare at me.

"It was a high school love that I never forgot about Troy," I smiled and stroked his cheek.

Whoa, wait what the hell am I doing?! Uhm…snap..snap out of it Taylor!

I glanced down breaking eye contact. "Come on let's get this cleaned up." I don't think it's possible for me to avoid these awkward moments with Troy. There were just too many memories to avoid. He smiled again, resting his hands on top of mine.

"Why don't I pick up some breakfast from this little diner around the corner. It's clean; their breakfast is delicious and healthy and the prices are good."

"You sure?"

He winked at me, "I'll be back in a few."

S Minutes Later…

"Taylor? Taylor…? Honey I'm home!"

"I'm in here!" When Troy left, I dropped by the nursery to fold up some of the baby's clothes.

He peeked his head inside, "You still hungry McKessie?"

"Can't you hear my stomach rumbling?"

"Well let's bust down some of this food then."

In The Kitchen

He gave me a container, "here you are madam. You have the Early Bird Special-pancakes, a fruit salad, sausages, and a cup of apple juice."

"For me I have a bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich, a blueberry muffin, and orange juice."

"Oh God this is delicious Troy." It feels like I haven't eaten in days.

"I told you."

"Ya know Troy; I actually did want to cook. It's so hard finding something to do nowadays."

"What do you mean?"

"I can't find much to keep me busy lately. I'm off of work for a good bit of time and Chad is rarely here. So the time just seems to drip by so slowly."

"Why don't you take him over to Kelsi's?"

"I don't want to be a burden on anyone."

"A burden? You're joking right? I can understand why you're saying that because we have different schedules, but what makes you think we don't love our nephew?"

"I never said that Troy."

"Yes Tay, but you insinuated it and that's just as bad."

"Calvin is almost one month old. He's my child and my responsibility."

"He's Chad's too."

"Excuse me?"

You said he's your responsibility. You never once mentioned Chad. Is there something wrong Tay?" He raised an eyebrow.

"Like I said, he is my responsibility."

"So there is something-" I cut him off.

"Drop it Troy. I really am serious."

I didn't mean to respond so harshly but he was pushing a sensitive subject.

He looked down, "I didn't mean to hit a sore spot for you Tay."

"Well you did."
