are you my daddy?

The story of Olivia Charlotte Swift

Taylor POV

"I guess the story starts when we broke up. Or before that really, when we were on holiday. I guess that's where Livy really, um, began her life. A little holiday souvenir." Harry chuckles as I say this, "So when we broke up, for whatever stupid reasons it was, I was devastated and poured myself into my tour. As you know, I had already got most of it planned so really it was just rehearsals and organising the travel element and stuff. It was probably about the beginning of February when I began feeling unwell, but I chalked it up to not having slept well for a while, and the nerves for the upcoming tour. I was very good at downplaying it, so the only person who really worried was my mom, but she worries about everything so that didn't faze me. I wasn't till the middle of March, when I had been on tour for about a month that I noticed physical changes. Despite basically doing a full on cardio workout almost every night and eating healthily, I seemed to be putting on weight and my breasts were sore. When I had a few days off I came back here to LA under the pretence of visiting Selena but really it was to go to the doctors. I had an inkling of what was going on but didn't want to believe it till it was confirmed. Basically the doctor confirmed it then and there in my appointment. I was almost 12 weeks pregnant. Despite having thought that could be the case, I was in shock. I called Selena who ended up being the first person I told. I cried a lot that day trying to figure out how I was going to cope. Selena rightly told me I needed to talk to my parents, who were both in Nashville, so I booked the first flight out of LAX and went to surprise them in more ways than one."

I stopped and took a drink from my diet coke. I couldn't quite make myself look at Harry as I spoke.

"They were shocked to say the least, still thinking I was there innocent little girl not a 23 year old. But straight away they were very supportive telling me they would help in whatever ways I needed. I then went back to tour, but hired a doctor to go on the road with us to make sure everything was OK. I didn't start really showing till I was almost 5 months along. At that point I had to tell my band and dancers. Caitlin was really excited, while the guys started treating me like I was made of glass which didn't bode well for them as I was very hormonal a lot of the time. I rescheduled all my tour dates from July till October so I could rest and get ready for this little angel's arrival. I knew from around May that she was a girl and chose her name pretty quickly"

"Olivia, like from Law and Order SVU right?" Harry says

"Yeah that's right and Charlotte because I always loved Charlotte's Web as a child." I reply, continuing my story" She was a week early which was scary, but she was perfect, not a thing wrong, acing all her baby tests. I was so proud of her, even as a few hour old, scrunched faced, little one. The first few weeks were exhausting but I had all my friends and family around me to help. By October she was on a schedule and I was back on tour. Mom and Dad took turns coming to shows to look after Livy while I was still in the US. When I went abroad, I hired a lovely British nanny who came with us to Australia, Europe and finally Asia with us. I couldn't have left her alone for that long. I would write songs while Livy slept and take her to the studio with me. She loves wearing her little ear defenders when she's there or in the stadiums. I decided me and Livy needed a fresh start as the tour was finishing up, so decided to move to New York. The last year hasn't been the easiest but I've made so many new friends, all of whom know about Livy but mostly don't know she's yours...I felt the fewer people knew, the better as I wanted it to be our decision. That basically brings us up to now. Sitting here. With you and Livy." I say, finishing the story

"Wow. You're amazing. You have accomplished so much professionally while dealing with so much personally." Harry says to me.

We just stare into each other eyes as he lifts my chin up. I smile at him, blushing a lot, and leaning back into his shoulder closing my eyes.
