Avalanna's P.O.V.
My daughter is officially a married woman. I can't believe this. My first born daughter has been through so much throughout her life. She has found the love of her life, who understands her disability and isn't embarrassed by her.
Before Taylor came into her life, Bayley had a hard time with boys. They'd lead her on, tell her they'd text her, or go on a movie date, and then they'd ghost her. I felt so horrible for my little girl. She may seem tough, but deep down she has been heartbroken a lot.
The bullying she experienced wasn't easy either. I couldn't help her. The school didn't help her. I felt like everyone was failing my baby girl. I think the teachers only cared. The principal didn't care. Even with a no bullying policy, it still fucking happened to Bayley.
I am a grandmother to her and Taylor's baby girl, Rawlings Avalanna. She's nine months old. I can't believe she's grown so big.
My oldest son, Brayden and his girlfriend, Reagan are expecting a baby. Reagan is 16 weeks along. I can't believe I'll be a grandma of two when I'm going to be 35 in January. Reagan is due in March.
I had my youngest daughter, Brittaniah in June of last year and she's now a year old. I can't believe my daughter and granddaughter are only a few months apart from each other. It's crazy insane.
I was getting our kids ready for the day, another day of school for them when my husband of 13 years came downstairs in his work clothes. He still owns his law firm in Boston and has been doing very well.
"Good morning, babe." I gave him a smile. He gave me a frown, but tries to hide it with a smile a few seconds later.
"Babe, what's wrong?" I ask, as I was packing his lunch in his lunch bag.
Zach let out a loud sigh. "I'm still adjusting to my baby girl being married." He says with a sigh. "I know she's well taken care of, but I do miss her and Rawlings being here when Bay first brought her home."
I nod my head, I wrap my arms around his neck and smiled at him. "Honey, she's married. She can't be here a whole lot because she needs to be a family with her daughter and husband."
Zach nods his head slowly. "I know, Ava, but I just feel like time went by so fast. We raised her for seventeen years before she got married and I feel like she doesn't need us anymore."
I breathe deeply. "I know, Zach. I know. I wasn't expecting her to be married so soon, but I'm happy that she's happy." I tell my husband, who still doesn't feel any better.
"Maybe you should talk to my dad later?" I suggest to him. He nods his head. "I guess so. I'll talk to him after work."
I lean in and kiss him before he leaves for work. I make sure our kids are off to school before I leave for work myself by 8:30AM. I drop my youngest daughter off at daycare before I go to work.
Bayley's P.O.V.
I woke up at 5:30AM and got ready for my first day back from our honeymoon. I got myself ready and then I made sure Rawlings was feed, changed and had everything she needed for her day at daycare before I head to school. Taylor is working a lot before he makes a decision on what college he wants to go to for the next 2 or 4 years.
After he drops Rawlings and I off, he heads to work. I walk into the school, not sure how people will treat me. I mean, I'm a married woman in my senior year.
My friends, Val, Gina, Eva and Reagan run over to me, while I'm opening my locker.
"Hey girl, how was your honeymoon?" Val asked me, causing me to blush. "It was amazing." I tell them, getting my books for first period.
My eyes widened in shock. After thinking about first period, my thoughts go right to my time of month.
I haven't gotten my period yet. Oh fucking shit. What if I'm pregnant again? Fuck.
I started panicking. My face went pale. Can I even find out now?
Reagan saw the look on my face. "Bay, are you okay?" She asked me. I shake my head.
"I think I could be pregnant..." I stutter, breathing a little heavy.
My friend's eyes all widened. They stare at me, not sure what to say to me. Finally after a minute, Eva spoke up.
"Are you sure? Did you even have your period yet?"
I shake my head. "I was supposed to have my period a few days ago. I have a feeling I am pregnant." I tell them. "Please don't tell anyone. I want to find out first before I tell anyone, okay?"
Val nods her head. "Alright girl. We won't say anything about this."
I gave a smile. "Thank you."
For the rest of the day, I have such bad anxiety at the thought I could be carrying another baby. Rawlings is only nine months old. I'm not sure if I should even mention this to Taylor. He's been working his ass off and I don't think I should mention it until I find out.
But yet again, he's my husband. I don't want to hide something like this from him. He deserves to know as the father of the baby. I can't hide my anxiety from him.
When I get home, I see my husband on his laptop. I took the bus home from school. I have been studying for the permit test. I can't wait to finally have a license.
When I walk into our apartment, I put my bag on the coffee table and Taylor looks up at me.
"Oh, hey baby. I didn't hear you come in. How was school?" He asked me, but my thoughts were somewhere else. I started panicking again.
Fuck me.
Can you not panic like he isn't your husband for once?
Taylor saw the distress look on my face. He got up from the stool and walked over to me. He puts his hands in mine and then walks me to the couch. "What's wrong, baby? Why are you panicking?" Taylor asked me, as he pulls me into his arms, trying to calm my nerves.
I was fighting back tears. They were burning in my eyes. I shouldn't be crying, but here I am - crying over the fact I could be pregnant again with my husband.
"I-I think-I think I'm pregnant!" I half yell, breathing heavily as tears came streaming down my face.
Now, Taylor's face turned into happiness, something I wasn't expecting. I thought he'd be scared, like me. But he wasn't. He places his thumb on my chin, causing me to look at him with my tear dried face, with maybe fresh ones wanting to come, I force them back.
"You'd be happy if I am?" I ask, with a stutter in my voice. He nods his head. "Of course I'd be happy, Bayley." He pulled me closer into his arms. "You wouldn't be?" He asked with a frown.
I bury my head into his chest as hot, fresh tears began to fall down my cheeks. I don't know what to say. "I-I don't know! I wasn't planning on having another baby so soon, Taylor. I don't to feel like I can't give Rawlings the attention she needs when I could be caring for a newborn in a few months, if I am pregnant." I say, truthfully, wiping my face on his shirt.
He didn't care that I was getting tears on his shirt. "Baby, I know. You'll still be her mother. Nothing will change that. I can promise you that." He kisses my head.
Zach headed over to his father in law's place after work. He needed to know how to deal with the fact his baby was married and that he's not the main man in her life anymore.
Cody opened the door and saw his son in law. He let him inside and they headed to the couch.
"Cody, I need some advice. I know is gonna be really weird, but I need to know how did you deal with Ava being married to me at first?" Zach asked.
Cody pauses for a minute. "Well, I knew you were going to get married since you had two kids together, and were pregnant with your third. It didn't take long for me to get used to it. You already showed me that you'd be there for Ava and your children. I didn't have to tell you." Cody says.
"Why do you ask?" He asked.
Zach sighs. "I'm having a hard time with getting used to Bay being married and I'm not the main man in her life anymore. I don't know how to take it all in, you know?"
Cody nods his head. "I know. My wife's dad gave me advice that to this day, I kept to my heart. I'll tell you the advice he gave me and I hope you keep it close to your heart."
Zach nods as Cody starts to tell him. "As you know, my father in law didn't really like me at first when I first met him, but by the second day, he did give me permission to continue dating Ava's mother, as long as I treated her the way she wanted to be treated. I kept that promise."
He smiles. "Taylor hasn't given you a reason to not like him. He treats Bayley and Rawlings very well, and cares for both of them with everything in his soul. He doesn't treat Bayley like a disabled woman, he treats her like she's a normal person."
Zach smiles at that thought. "I agree with that. He loves her and I'm glad he does treat her so well. He will always protect her."
Cody nods his head. "Yes, he will. I know that won't ever change. He was raised how to treat a woman. I know Rawlings will know how she'd want to be treated."
"I'll be happy as long as they are happy, and they are." Zach says, smiling. "Thank you for the advice."
Cody smiles. "You're welcome."
Zach leaves after a few more minutes and then heads back home for dinner.
Avalanna's P.O.V.
"Hey honey." I smile at her husband, who seems more relaxed. "How did it go?" I asked him as I was finishing up making dinner.
"It went well. I think I can get used to Bayley being married and I'm not the main man in her life."
"Good, I'm glad." I tell him. "You'll always be her dad, honey. That's not going to change."
Zach smiles at me. "I love you."
I smile back at him. "I love you more."
AN: I hope you enjoyed this chapter!
