Invisible String

The Unicorn

"I went to the fairy market mommy. The fairy gifted me an unicorn," She says and Joe makes some unicorn noises. Joy bursts out laughing at the weird noises, Taylor starts giggling too.

"Okay baby have fun with your unicorn. I make us breakfast."

"What breakfast mommy?"

"Your favorite chocolate pancakes."

"That's my favorite too," Joe speaks up.

"You can't talk daddy," Joy pouts making Taylor laugh.

"Joy's bedroom now," The toddler orders and Joe chuckles before turning on his knees.

He wanders around the house with Joy on his back. He enjoys this so much it's insane. He has never felt this type of love for anyone, ever. It's just so pure and simple.

After having a full house tour, Joe decides to make his daughter brush her teeth. But on the way he bumps with Taylor's legs as he's still on his knees.

"What are you doing?" He groans rubbing his nose. It hurt.

"Sorry," Taylor chuckles clicking some pictures of them. Joy grins as she realizes her mom is doing a photoshoot. She immediately poses for the camera. She squeezes Joe's cheeks and ears, then holds his nose while Joe makes funny faces. Taylor can't stop but giggle at their funny actions, she grins constantly while taking some pics of these silly little moments.

"Mommy do you want to ride my unicorn too?" Joy asks, an innocent proposal. But a red blush appears on Taylor's face instantly, hearing one particular word. Gosh can she stop thinking dirty all the time?

"I'm sure she'd love to," Joe speaks up making Taylor blush even harder.

"Joy tell your unicorn that it's too confident. It should stop talking now," Taylor says playfully.

"Don't talk unicorn," Joy says placing her hands over Joe's mouth. He gives up.

Taylor doesn't forget to click a picture of his cute ass when he turns around to take their daughter to the bathroom.

Everything feels so easy because of his presence.

When they're done with the breakfast, the doorbell rings. Sam of course, Taylor thinks. She goes to open the door and he steps inside giving her a tight hug.

"How's my queen doing?" He grins smooching her lips.

"Good," She replies with a thin voice and closes the door.

Joe's whole body burns with jealousy watching Sam's actions. It's so clear that he's just using her for a physical attraction, nothing else. Why's he always here though. Does he not have a job or something? He frowns and looks away from them as they approach holding hands. It hurts him seeing her with someone else.

He knows Taylor is not happy with Sam. It's visible on her face. If she were happy, she wouldn't have cheated on him. She hid her vulnerability with physical actions. The same way she did when she found out about the divorce papers, which he was unaware of at that time. He doesn't know why's she punishing herself in this way.

Joe sighs and goes to the living area to play with his daughter.

Few hours later, Taylor comes to the room, holding some snacks for them.

"What are you guys doing?" She asks softly.

"I learn how to draw daddy," Joy smiles taking up her pastel colors.

"That's amazing," She says and sits down with them. She looks at her paintings and notices three people holding hands. Joy is in the middle holding both of their hands, tying them to each other.
