Everything Has Changed

She Is Having A Baby

"Travis she will get crushed. She can play flag football if she wants to. Or any other sports but not something as rough as football."

Travis smirked, clearly accepting that he was not going to win this fight very easily. Dawn was breaking and there was something so peaceful and beautiful about sitting with the woman that you love and watching the sun rise over the treetops together. However that peace was soon disturbed by three young girls crashing out onto the veranda, demanding Uncle Tracy's famous chocolate chip pancakes that were reserved for only when he visited Jason and Kylie in Philly. The plan was to get the Christmas tree that day and then announce Taylor's pregnancy during that week. They hadn't gotten around to doing it yet and Tree had been on their backs ever since Taylor's flying visit to the emergency room six weeks ago.

She admired herself in the floor length mirror of their bedroom. Her belly had finally popped now that she was sitting at a comfortable almost twenty four weeks pregnant. According to the app she had on her phone, the baby was now the size of an ear of corn. She felt lucky that it was winter because the only things that she fit into were maternity clothes and anything oversized, mainly clothes she had stolen from Travis' closest. She pulled on with difficulty a pair of thick wool lined black leggings, pairing it with a black turtle neck top and old fashioned Christmas jumper. Travis pulled on the emerald green Christmas jumper Taylor had laid out for him, getting him into the Eagles spirit but he paired it with his chiefs Christmas hat to continue his solidarity and loyalty to his own team. Taylor finished off her simple makeup look with a red lip, placing on the diamond earrings and matching necklace that Travis had made for her for her birthday. She couldn't quite believe that this time next year, they would be choosing out a Christmas tree as a family of three. The tree they would have for their daughter's first Christmas.

"Auntie Tay, Uncle Trav look at my jumper!" Elliotte shouted just as Travis placed his foot down on the living room floor. Jason wasn't joking when he said that Elliotte was like the energiser bunny. That girl did not stop and it would be a miracle if she made it into adulthood completely unharmed.

"Wow so cool Ellie. Now go get your shoes on or we will be late to go see Santa."

"Yay Santa!!!" The three girls yelled as Travis followed them to help get their shoes on. And to help Taylor who was clearly struggling to lace up her snow boots.

"Ugh I literally can't do regular day to day tasks and I still have a good sixteen weeks of this left."

"You can do this babe. I am right here beside you." He smiled, helping her up from the sofa and over to where Kylie and Jason were getting the coats onto the girls who were dressed in snow boots and Christmas jumpers like the rest of the family. Despite it not being official on paper, Taylor truly felt like a member of the Kelce family, loving it for all its faults and flaws. Because it was hers, and to her it was perfect. And everything she had ever wanted. It reminded her of home.

The drive to Pine Ridge Farm was anything but peaceful. Christmas songs were blasting out from the radio of Travis' car and filled the air with joyous Christmas cheer.

"Looks like we are here..." Travis said, and he was right. Taylor recognised it immediately and all of the memories came flooding back. The times of making snowmen and snow angels with Austin, and their little jack Russel dog getting buried in the snow by her dad in a little game that they liked to play. So many happy memories had been shared there, and Taylor was excited to make new ones too.

"Good afternoon. What can I help you guys with this afternoon?" A politer older gentleman asked, coming over to greet the family of them.

"Well we are looking for two Christmas trees and they are looking for one." Travis said pointing over at where his brother was showing the girls where Santa's grotto was. "But I think the girls want to go see Santa first." The gentleman nodded, walking over to his little cabin to wait until they needed assistance. That had been their job when they were younger, to help alongside their dad Scott. Her mom was the one who dealt with a lot of the admin stuff as she wasn't able to chop down the trees like Scott could.
