Taylor POV:
A couple weeks later and school for the kids was finally over, something that I loved at there age but now dreaded, since I would be in charge of five kids for a couple months. My solution was to invite Selena over to help me.
"Come on Lily, eat the peas!" , I begged, holding out a heaping teaspoon for her.
"Uh!" , she protested, immediately shutting her mouth.
"Mommy, can I go to Ellie's house today?" , Patricia asked.
"I don't think there will be time, honey."
"Why not?"
"'Cause I want to go to the park." , David whined.
"I want to go to the mall." , Daisy said.
I sighed, putting my face in my hands, I needed Joe and where was Selena. But just as I was thinking that someone knocked on the door, and I bolted it open, revealing Selena, with a huge smile on her face.
"I heard you needed some help with the kids?" , she asked.
"No. I asked for us to hang out." , I argued.
"But you want me to help with the kids, right? Be honest."
"Yeah." , I mumbled. "Thank you so much for doing this." , I hugged her, shutting the door.
"That's what friends are for."
"Waaaaaaaaaah!!" , Lily screamed right on cue.
Selena gasped. "The baby! I've never met her before! Where is she?!"
"In the living room." , I announced. "I haven't seen anyone so happy to hear her cry since...", then I stopped myself, realizing what I was about to say.
"Since when?" , she asked lifting Lily out of her chair. "Hi, sweetie."
"Since...Adam came over." , I said slowly.
"Woah. Woah. What happened?"
"Mommy!" , Patrica yelled making Lily cry even harder. "I'm waiting!"
"Why don't you and your siblings play in your room for a while and we'll all do something fun together later."
Patricia looked confused at first, never having met Selena, but her eyes began to brighten. "You're Selena Gomez!" , she shrieked.
"Um...yes I am." , Selena said slowly.
"I did a project about you in school." , she exclaimed.
"Patricia...", I scolded her. "You shouldn't say that."
"No, it's fine." , Selena replied. "It's really nice to meet you, Patricia." , she stretched her arm out that wasn't holding Lily to give Patricia a half-hug.
"Bye, Selena!" , Patricia said after running away.
"How do you do that?" , I asked awestruck as we sat down. "Patricia never listens to me anymore."
Selena shrugged. "I don't know. But tell me more about what Adam did. And where's Joe?"
After I told her about Adam visiting and him telling me about his feelings, and Joe getting a role in a movie, but him not being happy about Adam kissing me. She listened carefully while Lily teethed on her fingers. When I was finished with my long, emotional story, Selena was quiet for a moment.
"Wow." , she said. "Wow. I kinda get why he's mad."
"What?" , I asked surprisingly. "You...you aren't going to defend me?"
She scoffed. "You cheated on him!"
"I have defended you so many times and helped you through so much!"
"Name one time." , she said standing up and crossing her arms.
I scoffed back. "Justin?! I still don't think you're over him and I can not even count how many times I talked you out of going over to his house and begging forgiveness."
"I didn't need you then."
"Yes, you did. And you still do!"
Just then, there was a thump and I looked down to see Lily had fallen off the couch and onto the ground as she started screaming.
