Quiet Signs of Love (YukiUchiha &Lexxy)

(Yeah sure ^~^)


Victoria woke up to her cousin screaming and fighting. She sighed. She was just a few days away from graduating and leaving to go to Juliard. She got accepted and that was really the only thing she was looking forward to it. She couldn't stop thinking about Taylor however. She missed him and she really didn't know why but she had a boyfriend now.

(Like six years xD )


Taylor had graduated successfully from college to successfully become an ASL interpreter for those who had no access to the hearing world whatsoever. It was a rather rewarding career and he enjoyed it because for the most part he was an interpreter for Deaf children. He loved it when they realized their were others just like them and they were accepted. He had no relationship, they just weren't a priority.


Today, he was called into a Elementary school to translate for a student. Walking into the class he smiled and set down his things. This was obviously going to be a daily thing now, it was only the first day. The teacher pointed him to the little girl and he waved in hello and signed. "My name is Taylor, what's yours?" The little girl was obviously scared of these new surroundings.
 
(Ah my bad. Wasn't sure xD )


The little girl looked over at Taylor and became super shy. She didn't want to sign back because of how shy she was, plus she didn't exactly like her surroundings. She finally looked up at Taylor again and signed, "My name is Rose." She was a shy little one and she was scared.

(Plot twist: Rose belongs to Victoria xD )


Taylor smiled at the little girl's shyness, most of them were at first, boys were usually frustrated because they couldn't communicate with the hearing people around them. He watched as he followed her fast little hands and nodded grabbing a chair. "Hi Rose, don't be scared I'm here to help you." He signs with a smile. "I'm going to tell you what the hearing people say, okay?"
 
(That's what I was thinking!!!! xD )


Rose simply nodded as she noticed her teacher began to talk. She watched Taylor's fast hands and was able to pick up on everything the hearing kids could hear. She didn't feel so left out anymore and when lunch came around, she sat at her desk while the other children left for lunch. The teacher told Taylor that Rose's mother came to have lunch with her everyday and sure enough, Rose stood up and went to hug her mother. Victoria smiled down at her little one and picked her up into her arms. She thanked the teacher for finding someone who would help Rose and when Victoria saw Taylor, she froze. "Mom?" Rose signed as she looked at her confused. Victoria didn't have a boyfriend anymore. In fact, he left her right after Rose was born.

Taylor nodded towards the teacher and watched as Rose ran to her mom. He didn't really pay attention to her mother though until he heard her voice and that's when he looked over in disbelief. She hadn't noticed him yet but when she did their eyes met, he knew it was her but he simply waved and stood.
 
"Mom!" Rose signed once more becoming a bit upset that she was ignoring her and just standing there. "T-Taylor.." Victoria whispered and set Rose down. "Go set up our lunch on the table please." She signed, fast just like her daughter and Taylor, and Rose nodded. She took the bag and went over to the back table. "How've you been?" She asked him. She would have never thought they'd meet again.

Taylor watched with amazed eyes at how well the two of them communicated. It was a heart warning thing to witness but he would have bed have guessed in a million years Rose. Would belong to the girl who he helped six years ago. Because she was hearing he automatically used is voice to speak, "I'm good,"he replies with a warm smile. "I could ask you the same."
 
"I'm fine." She told him as she watched rose begin to draw on a piece of paper. It killed her because her daughter reminded her so much of Taylor, except, hearing aids weren't even an option for her. "Thanks for helping her Taylor." Victoria said softly as Rose looked up and waved at her mom. Victoria smiled and signed, "I love you." Rose smiled and continued drawing.

"It's my job." He says to Victoria. Rose even though different deserved to know what was going on around her, when he saw her start to draw he smiled and laughed to himself before walking over to the little girl and getting on her level. "You like to draw?" He asks with interest,
 
Rose looked at Taylor and nodded as she smiled and continued drawing. She looked at her mom as Victoria walked over to her and signed, "Do you know Taylor?" Victoria smiled and nodded and her daughter blinked. "How?" She signed and Victoria smiled. "High school." She signed back and Rose nodded. "She doesn't have anyone else but me so take care of her for me at school please. I know you will." Victoria said and smiled.

"Of course." Taylor says before turning back to Rose, "What's your favorite animal?" He signs to her grabbing paper and pencil from his things he walked back over to her and waited for her to answer.
 
"Zebra!" Rose signed back with utter excitement and Victoria knew her little one was becoming comfortable with Taylor. When lunch ended, she kissed Rose on the head and then left to go back to work. Rose was her only priority in life. She wanted to keep her daughter happy. "Were you and mom friends?" She signed to Taylor.

Taylor laughed cheerfully at her response and began to draw one for her as she ate lunch with her mom. When Victoria left he waved to her and turned to Rose and signed. "Yes." Before he handed her the finished drawing. "What do you think?" He asks.
 
"Pretty!" She signed as she ran her hand over the drawing. "Perfect." She signed and then laughed softly. She felt so comfortable with Taylor for some reason. "Can you hear?" She signed wanting to know. Her mom told her she learned ASL for a certain person in high school but she never knew who it was.

Taylor smiled and pointed to the hearing aid on his ear and then signed. "When I want too." He signs and that's where he ended their conversation when the teacher started to speak he began to translate.
 
Rose paid attention to Taylor and what he was telling her and smiled when school was over. She stood up and stretched then looked at Taylor and smiled again. "You're lucky. I can't hear at all." She signed to him and sighed sadly. She wished she could but knew she never could.

Taylor smiled faintly at Rose He knew the only reason she wouldn't be able to hear is if Victoria didn't have the money. The technology for cochlear implants was there for people who were completely Deaf but it was expensive. Changing the subject Taylor signed. "Do you have brothers or sisters?"
 
Rose shook her head. "Nope. I'm an only child." She signed back with a smile that was big and wide. "It's only my mom and I." She signed after and then showed him a drawing she drew of just her and her mother. Victoria indeed didn't have the money but she was saving. She wanted her daughter to be able to hear because she knew that's what her daughter wanted. Life was just rough. Victoria didn't get to finish college.

Taylor took the drawing from Rose to look at and smiled at it. "Good." He signs handing it back to her. Though his job was done he decided he would sit with her until her mom got there the teacher his told him she stayed after because Ashley often worked late.
 
"You can leave if you need. You don't have to stay." She signed. No one ever really did stay besides her teacher. School finished at 3 and Rose didn't get picked up until 5. When Victoria came in, Rose got her things and hugged Taylor. Victoria smiled. She knew Rose was already comfortable with her. "I'll see you tomorrow Taylor!" She signed and then walked off to the car. "Thank you again Taylor. I can never thank you enough." Victoria said as she yawned. She was exhausted and it was noticeable. She was working really long hours now.

Taylor nodded to Victoria, "She's one of the easiest I've had." He admits. Most kids he ha to work with he had to teach then because their parents knew nothing of ASL so they didn't either. "In glad to know you learned." He says teasing her.
 
Victoria laughed softly and smiled. "Well I had to. I wasn't going to not communicate with my daughter." She said and then yawned softly again. "Thank you for teaching me the basics." She said and smiled again. "I'm hoping she will be able to hear after Christmas. I've been saving so hopefully I can get her what She wants." She added

Victoria was incredible the way she dedicated herself to her daughter. It was good for him to know some actually did try to relate to their children. "I'm sure she'll be ecstatic." Taylor says with a smile, he didn't want to keep her from Rose for too long so he waved in farewell and then drove home.
 
Victoria nodded and waved as well and went to drive her and Rose home. Victoria left Rose with her grandma and went to her night shift job. She was working two jobs just for her daughter. She loved her so much. The next morning, Victorias mom dropped Rose off at school and Rose seemed a little upset. She wanted her mom. She loved her grandma and all but she hated when her mom worked double shifts.
