Taylor's pov
Me and karlie spent about half an hour cuddling on the couch after I had told her the news of my moms cancer. My head rested on her chest as my feet were tucked under me and her arm were wrapped protectively around me. We were enjoying the comfortable silence until we heard little feet coming down the stairs.
I turned my head to see Ava walking towards me sleepily with a tight grip on her blanket.
"Hey, baby what you doing up?" I wondered, as she climbed on top of my lap.
"I don't feel good" she mumbled into my neck as she cuddled close to me.
"What hurts baby" I asked
But instead I got no reply. She just began to play with my necklace Karlie had bought me for my birthday.
I held her close and rubbed her back in hope that she would get back to sleep.
I felt tears slowly begin to hit my shoulder, I moved my head slowly and looked down at her to see her tear stained face.
"Shhh, you need to tell me what hurts baby so I can make it better" I say wiping her tears.
She points to her tummy and cuddles back into me again.
I wrap my arm around her and begin to rub her back as my other hand rubs gentle circles on her stomach. I keep doing this and gently rock back and fourth so she can get back to sleep.
Soon enough she's asleep but has a tight grip on the neck line of my top. She often does this so me or karlie don't leave her, she first started doing this when I was away on tour and she had to stay with Karlie most of the time.
"We should head to bed, it's late" I say gently looking at Karlie
I slowly stand up still holding Ava close to me and make my way up the stairs.
I knew she wouldn't want to sleep in her bed so I didn't
Waste any time and just lay her next to me in our bed.
I was just about dozing off when Karlie slowly walked into the room. I smiled weekly as she got into bed.
"Babe" I whispered
"Hmm" she replied
"I'm scared" I admit looking up at the ceiling
"Of what baby" she says as he wraps her arms around both me and Ava
"The treatment plan for my mom" I sigh
"Don't stress about it, it'll all be okay they are going to give her the best treatment there is don't you worry" she says as she interlaces her hand with mine over Ava's sleeping body.
I nod and close my eyes letting sleep take me away.
The next morning
Karlies pov
I woke up to the sound of faint whimpers beside me, I rolled over to see Ava crying quietly into her blanket she got when she was a baby.
"Hey, shhh what's wrong princess" I whispered pulling her into my arms and quietly as to not wake up taylor.
" I-i weally don't fwe-l go-good" she stuttered
I gently played with a few strands of her hair before asking "does your tummy still hurt"
In response she shakes her head and cuddles further into me "then what is it baby"
She just shrugs
"You just feeling down huh?" I wonder as I continue to play with her hair
She nods her head.
" come on then," I say rubbing her back " just close those little eyes and try get to sleep I'm right here, your okay" I soothe her.
She closes her eyes as I keep running her back, I keep doing this for a good 15 minutes until I think she's asleep I then begin to fall asleep myself before a full on sob wakes me back up again, this time waking up taylor too.
I sit up and pull Ava onto my lap as taylor does the same and turns on her bedside lamp.
"Shh" I try and soothe her" it's okay I've got you, you're okay"
"Mo--m-my" she stutters
"I'm right here love its okay" taylor says gently as I pass Ava onto her lap.
She clings onto her and continues to sob loudly with her face buried into her Taylors t-shirt which was actually mine.

"Shh, baby it's okay mommy's
Here as so is mama" I say as I rub her back to try and calm her down.
She still wouldn't calm down and her breathing started to become a problem.
I gently got out of bed still holding her with her legs wrapped tightly around my waist and arms round my neck, as I began to bounce her slightly around the room.
"Shh, your okay I've got you" I whisper into her ear
I mouth to karlie if he can make her a bottle as I know with out one she won't calm down. We only tend to use milk bottles in emergencies like these usually it only happens with nightmares or the paparazzi but I know they calm her down, and right now I think that's what she needs, she's still only two.
I keep bouncy lightly on the balls of my feet and rub her back trying to even out her breathing.
"Shh baby copy mommies breathing" I say as I take deep breathes.
Soon enough Karlie comes back upstairs shaking the baby bottle as she hands it to me.
I gently sit back down on the bed and cradle her, as I take off the lid off and feed it to her.
Almost as if by magic she latches on it and calms down, the room is once again silent at 5am
I hold the bottle up and rub the side of her leg with my arm that is cradling her as her eyes begin to close. I keep doing this until she out like a light with the bottle hanging out from her mouth.
I take it out gently and place the top back on and standing it on my bedside table, I place her back down on the bed quietly and tuck her back in as I turn the light back off and lay down, with Karlie smiling sympathetically at me and doing the same. Ava instinctively cuddles up next to me and the three of us fall asleep once again.
