AN: Here's a chapter with Taylor's P.O.V. I hope you enjoy! Also, had to edit the dates so hopefully now it's all made sense. I had messed up how old Rawlings was due to me not adding in the age calculator. Sorry about that.

Taylor's P.O.V.
Over the next few days, I start to think about Bayley and Rawlings. I have been back at my apartment for two days, and to be honest, I miss being able to help Bayley at night. I can't always stay at Zach and Ava's. I can't not stay at my apartment. I pay for it, I better get used to staying here. It's hard having Bayley and Rawlings leave me after staying with me for two days.
My heart hurts.
I want my girls with me. Everyday.
As I get ready for work, I realize I want Bay to move in with me. I want us to be a family. She's going to be my wife in a few months and I think it would be easier for us to get used to living with each other if she moves in before our wedding.
Bayley is at school, staying to study with her friends, and Rawlings is with my mother. I miss them so much.
My friend, Kevin looked at me when I arrive at work. "Hey dude. What's with the sour look on your face?" He asks me.
I sigh. I look at him. "I miss my daughter and my fiance. I haven't seen them in two days..."
Kevin frowned. "I'm sorry, dude."
I breathe deeply. "Yeah. I can't wait for her and Rawlings to move in with me."
"Have you talked to Bayley about that?" Kevin asks.
I shake my head. "No, I want to talk to her about it later today." I state, getting to work.
Kevin nods his head. "Whatever happens bro, your girls are lucky to have you."
"Thank you." I smile.
After working until 8:45PM, I decided to go to my parent's place to tell them my plans. I know it's weird as hell that I have a baby before even marriage and even living with Bayley.
I park my car onto the driveway and get out of the car after locking it and I head to the front door with a sigh leaving my mouth.
After knocking twice, I wait for someone to open the door. After five minutes, I hear the front door being opened. I look down and see my sister, Victoria, smiling at me. "Hey T." She says, with a smile. She steps aside with her crunches.
"Hey sis." I say after walking inside. Mom sees me when I walk into the kitchen.
"Taylor? Honey, what are you doing here so late?" Mom asks, surprised that I'm here and it's almost nine at night. Concerned, she puts the last bit of dishes in the dishwasher.
"Taylor?" She asks again.
I take a sit on the bar with my head in my hands. I feel all the tears I've been holding in come down my face. Everything I've been holding in rushes to my mind and I just can't hold it in anymore.
"I want Bay and Rawlings to move in with me, Mom. I can't-I can't go on like this. I know it's only been two days but..." I breathed as tears fall down my face. "Jesus, I was there every day for Rawlings life, now I haven't seen her in two days! I feel like I'm letting Bayley down..."
Mom nods as she turns the dishwasher on before sitting next to me. She pulls me into a hug and rubs my back. She shakes her head.
"Taylor Daxton Rayes, you aren't letting Bayley or Rawlings down! You are a great dad. You have been there almost everyday before she was born and everyday since her birth. Bayley knows how much you love her. You have to have that break sometimes, honey." Mom sighs.
"How do you know, Mom?" I ask her, and she sighs before answering.
"I was seventeen when I had you. Your dad was nineteen at the time. I knew that time I wanted your dad there everyday for you, but it caused a lot of arguments for the first four months of your life. We almost broke up because of all of the fights we had. But we ended up talking about our problems and what we wanted for you. We had lots of issues, but we knew we loved each other and loved you..."
She sighs. "We decided to have a weekend of not seeing each other before making a decision to move in with each other to know that's what we really wanted to do..."
I nod my head. "So, you're saying I should give it another week until I make the final decision?" I ask her.
She nods her head. "Yes, I do." Mom continues. "I know you two are engaged. But you aren't married yet. Anyone can break out of the engagement from now to when the wedding day, okay?"
She looks at me. "No matter what happens between you two, you'll always be Rawlings's father. Remember that."
Knowing she has a point, I nod my head, deciding to give myself a week to make a final decision. I hug her before heading to my old room.
I grab my phone and call Bayley's cell phone.
Her phone contact is - My Wifey💍💕 - I wait for her answer. After 4 rings, she picks up the phone with a tired tone.
"Hey." She says through a yawn. I frown, knowing she must be exhausted, but I then know my mother's words.
Just talk to her about it.
"Hey baby. How was your day?" I ask her.
She chuckles. "It was fantastic. I woke up late, I basically rushed to your parents house with my dad to drop off Rawlings and then I had forgotten her rattle, so Ayliana literally came to my house with the baby to get it. That's why I was like so close to being late to school this morning..." She says, sighing.
"Thank God the rest of the day was okay. I stayed a little longer than needed because I wanted to at least get the big project out of my way before getting Rawlings from your mom." She explains.
I give a small laugh. "I'm sure we'll have stressful mornings like that..." I say. "How's the baby?" I ask.
"She's good. She's asleep and should be asleep for a good 6 or 7 hours. But I doubt it..." Bayley says, letting out a sigh.
I nod. "Bay, I want to talk to you about something..." I say. I can tell I'm making her worried.
"What's that?" She asks.
"I was just thinking about you and Rawlings today and I want us to think about you moving in with me. My mom suggested we just think about it, okay?" I breathe, feeling my heart beating.
I can tell she's smiling, just like me. "Really? You want me and Rawlings to move in with you?" She asks.
I nod my head. "Yeah, I do. I just want us to think about the idea. Maybe we think about it for a week and then we come back to talk about it some more next Friday?"
She nods. "Okay. I'll see you at school on Monday then?"
I nod my head. "Yep. I'll pick you up so your dad doesn't have to take you."
I can tell she has a big smile on her face. "Okay! I love you. Goodnight, Tay."
"Give Raws a kiss for me." I say. She nods. "Of course I will."
We hang up a few minutes later and both of us fall asleep.

One week later, Friday, March 26, 2049
One week went by so fast and today I finally get to see where Bayley's head is at. I know I'm ready to move in with her, but is she ready?
Rawlings is officially two months old. She turned two months last weekend. I can't believe I have a two month old already. Like time slow the fuck down.
After we dropped off Rawlings with my mother, we headed to school together and we head into the school together. I walk Bayley to her locker and she smiles at me before leaning up so our lips can touch.
I wrap my free arm around her waist and lean down and we connect our lips. I smile into the kiss before deepening the kiss and then a minute later, I pull away, smiling at her.
"Have a great day, beautiful. We'll talk about moving in with each other later."
She nods her head. "See you in technology." She says, grabbing her books. As I walk away, her friends, Val, Gina, Eva and Reagan walk up to her. I don't get to know what she's talking about with them, but I know she's probably talking about me.
As I was walking into my first class, I see a new girl, sitting next to my normal seat. I take a seat next to her and she turns to me.
"Hi, I'm Amber." She says, playing with her hair. I nod. "Taylor." I say, getting back to work.
"So, Taylor. Are you taken or what?" Amber asks me, and I nod my head. "I'm actually engaged. Thank you for asking..." I add a smile on my face, thinking about my baby girl.
My baby girl.
The new girl frowns. "What? You're engaged? Already?" She asks, clearly shocked.
I nod my head. "Yes, and I have a daughter." I add, getting back to doing my school work.
Her eyes widened. "Oh my. Are you serious?" She looks at me.
I nod my head. "Yeah. I am serious..." I say, writing everything the teacher wrote on the board.
"Wow. Well, congratulations, I guess." Amber says.
Later that day after another long day of school and a long day of work, I finally head home to my apartment. I walked into my apartment to find my fiance on my couch.
"Bay?" I close the door and then lock it before walking over to the couch, where she's laying on.
She looks at me when she opened her eyes. "Hey babe."
"How did you get inside? Where's the baby?" I ask her when she sat up.
She yawns, covering her mouth before speaking up. "We found your extra key in your plant and the baby is asleep in her crib." She answers.
I smile at her. I want her to move in with me.
I love her so much.
"I want you to move in with me, Bay. Will you move in with me, please?" I get on my knee and hold her hand.
Bayley nods her head, excitedly. "Yes, yes! I will." She hugs me, wrapping her arms around my neck and leans in and kisses me passionately.
I chuckle. I grin at her. "Let's talk about the details then."
After going through the details and talking with each other, I see that it's really late.
"Oh shit, it's almost eleven..." I say, looking at my phone.
Bayley's eyes widened. "Oh! Well, let's go check on Rawlings before going to bed." She sits up and then stands up. I follow her actions and then we head to our two month old daughter's nursery.
Rawlings was fast asleep in her crib.
She's so beautiful when she's asleep.
After we watch our baby for a few minutes, we head to my bedroom to get ready for bed. I take off my shirt, and pants and leave my boxers on. Bay changed into my shirt and her sweatpants.
"I love you, baby girl." I lean down and pressed my lips on hers. "I love you too, Tay."
I roll on top of her and press a kiss on her neck. "Goodnight, baby." I give her another passionate kiss before pulling away and pull the covers over us. We fall asleep in each other's arms shortly after cuddling.
AN: I'm back with chapter 11. I hope you enjoyed this with Taylor's P.O.V. I enjoyed writing it.
