~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Taylor and Y/n were having a chilled day at home, laying on the couch like slobs and binge watching old seasons of The Great British Bake Off.

It was well needed. Taylor had just finished the Mexico leg of her tour, and was able to rest at home with her daughter for a while.

However, Y/n had been getting really bad stomach cramps over the past few days, and couldn't explain why. She wondered if it was maybe just a stomach bug, and so she tried to ignore it as best as she could.

During the day, Y/n found herself in the bathroom, her thoughts overwhelmed by the discomfort she was experiencing. Taylor, noticed a subtle shift in Y/n's demeanor and approached the bathroom door, concern on her face.

"Y/n, sweetheart, is everything alright? Can I come in?" Taylor's voice penetrated the closed door, filled with genuine worry. Y/n took a deep breath, realizing it was probably time to share what was happening.

"Mum, there's red and uh, alot of it," Y/N admitted, her voice tinged with uncertainty and fear. Taylor's instincts kicked in, recognizing that this moment might be an important one in her daughter's life.

With a reassuring voice, Taylor replied, "It's okay, Y/n. I'm here for you. Can you tell me what you're feeling?"

Y/n hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak the truth. "Mum, I think I might be... getting my period."

Silence hung in the air for a moment before Taylor's voice reemerged, tender and understanding. "That's alright, sweetheart. It's a natural part of growing up. Take your time, and when you're ready, open the door. I'm here for you whenever you need me."

Y/n gradually unlocked the door and faced her mother. Taylor bent down to her level, offering a gentle smile.

Y/n's eyes welled up with tears as she confided, "I was scared, Mum. I didn't know what was happenning."

Taylor cupped her daughter's face in her hands, wiping away a tear gently. "Darling, I understand. It can be overwhelming, but please know that this is a completely normal part of becoming a woman. I'm here to guide you through it, don't worry."

Taylor took Y/n's hand and led her to a nearby storage cabinet. She got out a small package that contained sanitary pads designed for young girls. Sitting side by side on the bathroom floor, Taylor explained the purpose of pads and how to use them, making sure that her daughter felt comfortable and informed.

As Y/n absorbed the information, a sense of relief washed over her. Taylor's support and knowledge helped get rid of her initial worries, and she understood that everything that was happening was completely natural.

Taylor helped Y/n adjust to the changes, offering guidance on managing her period with patience and understanding.

Later on in the day, Y/n was still dealing with those stomach cramps. Taylor watched as her daughter curled up on the couch, clutching her stomach with a pained expression on her face. It broke Taylor's heart to see her child in such pain.

"Hey, sweetie," Taylor said, sitting down next to Y/n. "I can see you're in a lot of pain. I'm here to help you get through this. Let's find some ways to ease those cramps, alright?"

Y/n peered up at her mother, sniffling, and nodded. "It hurts so much," she managed to say through gritted teeth.

Taylor gently brushed a strand of hair behind Y/n's ear and smiled reassuringly. "I know, honey. They can be really uncomfortable. But there are a few things we can try together to make it a bit better."

Y/N looked up at her mother with hope, "Okay, Mum. What can we do?"

Taking a deep breath, Taylor said, "Well, I can give you a hot water bottle. The warmth can help relax your muscles and soothe the pain."

Y/n thought for a moment before answering, "I think something warm would be nice."

Taylor nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's grab one from the bathroom cabinet. I'll make sure the water isn't too hot."

Taylor carefully positioned the hot water bottle on Y/n's abdomen, adjusting it until Y/n felt the warmth penetrating through her skin. Y/n let out a sigh of relief as the heat began to get rid of some of the pain.

"How about distracting ourselves with something. Sometimes taking your mind off of the pain can help." Taylor suggested.

Y/N perked up at the idea. "That sounds nice, Mum. Can we watch a movie together?"

Taylor smiled. "Of course, honey. What genre are you in the mood for?"

Y/n pondered for a moment before replying, "Adam Sandler"

"He's got his own genre?" Taylor asked.

Y/n thought about it for a second "Sure", she said in a shrug.

Taylor nodded and put on 'Just Go With It'. They settled back onto the couch, with Taylor sitting beside Y/n, ready to provide comfort throughout the film.

As the movie played, Y/n's laughter slowly drowned out the pain. Taylor couldn't help but feel grateful for the distraction and laughter.

Throughout the rest of the day, Taylor made sure to monitor Y/n's comfort level, offering words of encouragement and reminding her to take any necessary pain medication. They even had some dark chocolate, as Taylor expressed how it can help with the pain. And also because it just tasted really good.

As the evening unfolded, Y/n's cramps started to subside. Taylor noticed the relief on her daughter's face and squeezed her hand gently.

"I'm so proud of you, Y/n," Taylor said softly. "You handled this so well for your first time. Remember, I'm always here for you. Periods can be challenging, but together, we'll always find a way to make it through. The first period is usually one of the worsts, but it should regulate after the next few ones."

Y/N looked up at her mother with a warm smile. "Thank you, Mum. I'm lucky to have you."

Taylor smiled warmly, stroking her daughters hair softly "And I'm lucky to have you too, my brave and beautiful daughter."
