A Lifetime With You

Baby's First Trip

Taylor's POV
"Babe, are you sure you packed everything for the kids?" I asked Joe. "Yeah. I double checked everything. You finish packing for yourself" he said. I pack what I needed to. After we made sure we had everything packed, we went to bed. "Are we taking the bassinet or no?" Joe asked. "Nah, we can take the dock a tot and she can sleep in between us" I said. "So, no action for us then?" he asked. "Joe, I gave birth two weeks ago. You have two hands. Before we started having sex, I know exactly what you were doing. I know you still do it now. You'll have to continue to stick with that. Plus you're highly mistaken if you thought we were gonna do anything sexual in your parents' house. No. Not happening. Goodnight." I said, giving him a quick kiss.

2 AM the next morning
We got the kids dressed and fed them breakfast. Of course, they struggled to get out of bed considering it's super early. Joe fed the baby while I did my makeup. I put on a simple outfit and Joe passed Everleigh to me so he could put the bags in the car. He got the kids into their car seats and I buckled baby girl into her car seat and we left for the airport. "Mommy, where are we going?" Elijah asked. "We're gonna go see your other grandma and grandpa in London" I said. "Oh so it's a trip?" Avery asked. "It is a trip. We have to be super calm and patient on the plane because baby sister will probably be sleeping most of the time, ok?" I said. "Ok" Avery and Elijah agreed.

2:30 AM
We got on my private jet with all of our bags and car seats. I got the kids occupied on their ipads, which probably won't last long.

5:00 AM
"Mommy, daddy...I'm sleepy" Elijah said. "I'll get your blanket out of your suitcase" Joe said. Everleigh started getting restless in her car seat. She opened her eyes. "Hi, pumpkin" I said, in my mom voice. She didn't cry, instead she just yawned and started getting heavy eyed again. "Let's check your diaper" I said. I lifted her up and lied her on the seat. I took her little baby leggings off and she stretched. "Babe, can you pass me a diaper and the wipes?" I ask Joe. He did as I asked. "Is it a poopy diaper?" he asked. "Nope, just pee" I said. I change her and put on some hand sanitizer. She started getting fussy. I got situated and latched her onto my breast. "This is gonna be a long flight" I said, yawning.

10 and a half hours later; 7 PM in the UK (1 PM in Nashville)
We just landed in London. All of us are exhausted and ready for bed. We got off of the plane into our driver's car. We grabbed some dinner before we headed to Joe's parents' house. Joe got the baby out and I unbuckled the kids and we all went up to the door and I knocked. Elizabeth, Joe's mom, answered the door. "Surprise!!!" Joe and I shouted. "Oh my God. Hello my lovely grandchildren. And oh my goodness...look at her. She's so tiny" Elizabeth said. "Sorry, please come in" Elizabeth said. We all sat in the living room and Joe brought the stuff in. "Taylor, you look fantastic" she said. "Thanks. I certainly don't feel like it, but it means a lot to hear it from someone other than Joe. He always tells me I look good, but I feel like he's only saying it because he loves me" I said. "No, sweetie. I can reassure that he means it. I mean, she is only 2 weeks old and look at you. You're stunning" she said. "Thank you so much" I said. "Richard should be down soon. He went to bathe" she said. I nodded. "Would you like to hold our newest addition?" I asked her. "I'm dying to" she said. I unbuckled Everleigh from her car seat and handed her to Elizabeth. "She's so tiny. I'm in love. Thank you for coming and surprising us" she said. I smiled. "You're so little, sweet girl. Is your mum not feeding you?" Elizabeth said, jokingly. "She eats a ton. She should actually be waking up soon" I said, looking at my phone to check the time. "Mommy, I'm tired" Avery said. "Ok. Elizabeth, I hate to cut our visit short, but I'm gonna go get these two in bed. I'll let you snuggle her for a bit." I said. I take Avery and Elijah upstairs to one of the guest bedrooms and tuck them into their beds. I kiss them goodnight and turn on a night light. I go to the bigger guest room where Joe, Everleigh, and I will be sleeping. I wash my makeup off and get undressed. I panic when the door opened, but it was just Joe. "You scared the shit out of me." I said. I put on my pajamas. "I need our daughter. Your mom has her" I said. Joe went back downstairs.
