[jan 2017]

CHRISTMAS PASSED QUICKLY, and the couple enjoyed being with their families.

one saturday morning in mid january, sam awoke at around one am to a wet bed. at first glance, she thought it was piss but then she looked closer to see it was blood. it wasn't from taylor, the blonde took the pill which stopped her cycles completely, which meant one thing, it was from her.

"shit, shit, shit." sam mumbled as she waddled into the bathroom to clean off. as she surveyed the mess of her pyjamas, her mind raced. she felt hot, like she had a fever, and her legs collapsed under her, leaving her lying there on the bathroom floor.

hours later, taylor woke up to an empty bed, which was an unusual occurrence since they'd made up. she noticed the open bathroom door and approached it slowly, seeing sam on the floor in a pool of blood.
"sammy? sam! sam, wake up!" she begged, checking the woman was still breathing. she was, but lowly and shallowly. the grays eyes fluttered open as she weakly mumbled, "tay." before collapsing again. taylor pulled out her phone and called an ambulance, giving them her details.

the hour and a half she waited for the ambulance was one of the worst waits of her life.

when they finally arrived at the hospital and sam was rushed off into a separate room, taylor waited in a cubicle for her to come out; security not needed due to the fact they were in the middle of nowhere.

at least another few hours passed before sam reentered the room, a old looking doctor wheeling her in.
"miss swift?"
"yeah." the blonde murmured, standing up quickly and watching sam look at her sadly.
"i'm afraid miss gray has had a miscarriage. i'm sorry for your loss."

the blonde felt a singular tear roll down her face as the doctor delivered the news.
"miss gray will be discharged later today, she'll need to be on bed rest for a bit at home before resuming normal life."
"thanks doctor." sam muttered weakly, watching the doctor leave.

"tay, i-"
"i'm sorry you lost the baby sammy." the blonde murmured, grasping sams hand.
"it's not my fault. and it's not yours either. it's just somethin' that happens." the actress assured, rubbing her finger along taylor's palm,"it would've been nice to have a kid with you, but it obviously wasn't our time."
"i know. but that doesn't make it hurt less though." taylor muttered.
"i just want to go home and cry on our bed with the cats."
"sounds good. i'll go talk to the doctor now."

soon, they returned to the cottage to see the cats gathered at the window, obviously worried about their owners absence.

sam almost collapsed in pain walking from the door, causing taylor to put down her bag and carry her to bed. the singer didn't mind, the brunette had been caring for her for months and it was only right that she returned the favour during this difficult time.

as long as they didn't shut each other out, they'd be okay.

[ffeb- july 2017]

THE DAYS WENT BY QUICKLY, sam only really left their bedroom to shower and use the loo; leaving taylor to do everything around the house. although the physical process had passed, the mental strain on both of them would reside for a long time.

one thing sam was sure to do was not lock taylor out, like the blonde did in july. taylor was grateful for that, it made her feel like they were more of an united front.

even though they were both taking a break from work, the swift had arranged one singular concert for 2017 in february and a probable album release later on in the year. sam on the other hand, currently had to be in america for marvel filming once more. her mental state obviously wasn't in the best place right now, but she insisted she was fine and was currently flying between the cottage and la.
