Natalie opened her eyes, and looked over at her still sleeping husband. They had gone out for a romantic dinner the other night, while her best friend Kate and her husband watched their five kids. They had gone to McGill's, a steak house at the top of the Hard Rock Hotel. Taylor had ordered them the best wine off the menu, and beef wellington as an appetizer. She had ordered slow roasted prime rib for the main course and he had ordered prime filet mignon. For dessert, they had crème brûlée.
After dinner, they had gone to pick up their kids. Only Kate told them to go on home and continue their romantic evening alone together. So while their kids spent the night there, they did just that. They went home and opened up a bottle of wine, listening to some good music and talked. Taylor asked her to dance at one point, which eventually led to a make out session that ended up with them in bed.
With a smile on her face, Natalie kissed him softly on the cheek. " Good morning my wonderful, husband."
He opened his eyes, and smiled back at her. " Good morning, sweetheart. How did you sleep?"
" Amazing." She kissed him on the lips. " Last night was the best, Taylor. We need to do that more often."
" I couldn't agree more." He kissed her back. " What are you hungry for? Let me make breakfast this morning."
" Surprise me. Anything is fine." She slowly climbed out of bed. " I'll just make up the bed and shower while you cook."
" Alright." He got out of bed and dressed in a blue button up shirt and blue jeans, heading downstairs.
She made up the bed and then went to take her shower. She happily began singing one of her favorite songs as she got all cleaned up, and then got dressed in a white floral print shirt and black jeans. She sprayed a little perfume on herself called cashmere mist, and headed downstairs herself.
Upon entering the kitchen, she smelled bacon and saw Taylor flipping an omlette on the stove.
" Breakfast smells great." She smiled at him.
" It's almost done if you just want to get yourself a cup of coffee." He smiled back at her, feeling as happy as she did. He had just as an amazing time as she did the night before, and was glad that his brother Zac and Natalie's best friend Kate had kept their kids for the night.
She did just that, and sat the table. " What do you have planned for today, honey?" She asked him.
" Well, not much other that going into the studio to record some music. I think we are meeting there in a couple of hours to get some stuff done." He told her as he served her an omlette and some bacon.
" Sounds like fun." She took a bite of the omlette. " I might take the kids shopping today for some new clothes. They are starting to grow out of what they have."
" Yeah. They are growing up too fast." He sat down with a plate of food himself. " It's amazing how time flies by so fast."
" I know. I can't believe how old they are getting." She sipped on her coffee.
When they were finished with their breakfast, Natalie was the one to clean up while Taylor left to go pick up their kids.

Ashley was going through some of her stuff as she continued to get ready for her move away from her husband. She was taking her two kids with her back to Oklahoma, where she was originally from. Her son Christopher wasn't too happy with the idea of moving, but her daughter Arielle was more than ready to get away from everything. She found an old love note from her ex boyfriend and smiled as she opened it to read it.
Ashley,
I know things right now seem impossible, but we will make this work. I promise. We will have this baby, and have everything we ever dreamed of having. I will do whatever it takes to make you happy. Even if we have to run away to be together. I don't want to live my life without you in it. You mean the world to me.
I love you,
Taylor
She folded it back up just as Arielle popped her head into the bedroom. " Are you ready to go yet, mom? I don't want to be here when dad get's home."
" Yeah. I was just... packing up some old memories." Ashley had tears in her eyes, that she quickly wiped away. " Get into the car and I will be right there."
Arielle looked at her mom curiously. " Are you okay, mom? You look kind of down, like maybe... your having second thoughts about leaving dad?"
" No, I'm not having second thoughts at all. I was just going through some old stuff and packing it away, sweetie. I'm okay." She looked up at her daughter. " Go ahead. I promise I will be right there."
Nodding her head, Arielle left the room and she packed up her remaining old memories she wanted to look at some more later on when she had the chance. She missed the old days, when she had been so happy with her ex. He had always made her feel so alive, and so special. More than anything, she hoped to re-connect with him. She knew he was married now, but she hoped that what they had in the past was still there for Taylor as it was for her. She had truly never stopped loving him.

Back in Oklahoma, Zac and Kate were in the middle of having breakfast when the doorbell rang. They had made up pancakes and eggs, which the kids were enjoying. Although Taylor's youngest was playing with her food. Kate laughed. " Stop playing with your food, honey."
" She's nine months old. She doesn't understand a word your saying." Zac laughed. " I'll go see who that is at the door. Try to keep her from making a mess."
Kate nodded, taking a bite of her pancakes. " I'll do my best."
Zac went to the front door and opened it to see Taylor. " Hey. How was your night last night?"
Taylor smiled. " We had an amazing time. Thanks for giving us a night alone together, bro. It means a lot."
" Well, I know you would do the same for me." He let him in, and led him into the kitchen. " As you can see we are just feeding them some breakfast."
Taylor looked at Wilhelmina, and laughed to see she was making a big mess. " It looks like all she wanted to make a mess of herself and the kitchen."
Kate was on the floor, picking up some eggs that she had thrown onto the floor. " Yeah. She doesn't seem to want to eat this morning." She looked up at Taylor and smiled. " You have a good time last night?"
" It was amazing. And you two are the best for giving us some alone time. Thank you." Taylor smiled back, walking up to his daughter and cleaning her up.
" Anytime. Just let us know." Kate threw the eggs into the garbage, and noticed the other kids were done eating. " Bring me your plates please."
Taylor finished cleaning Wilhelmina up and picked her up. " You sure know how to make a mess, sweetie."
" That's for sure." Zac laughed. " But she was good otherwise. They all were."
Zac and Kate each gave the kids hugs, and said goodbye. Their own kids gave them hugs as well as Taylor, and he left with them.
Kate then settled their kids Junia and John in the living room with a movie, and helped Zac clean up their mess from breakfast.
After dinner, they had gone to pick up their kids. Only Kate told them to go on home and continue their romantic evening alone together. So while their kids spent the night there, they did just that.
