Travis smiles as he carries Taylor's bags downstairs. He looks at Andrea and Scott, who are sitting comfortably, but a little impatiently, on the couches in the living room, fully dressed and waiting for their pregnant daughter to finally get ready. Travis signals them with a discrete hand gesture that everyone's gotta be a little careful now. In just that moment, Taylor slowly walks downstairs. One hand on her baby bump, the other in her coat pocket. She doesn't wear any make-up and the shy look on her face shows everyone that she might be a little ashamed of her hormonal behavior, as well as the delay and drama that she caused this morning.

"Are you feeling better, sweetheart?" Andrea asks gently, stands up and kisses her tall daughter on the cheek.

Taylor tries to smile a little but fails. "I guess" is her short answer.

Scott laughs a little and walks up to Travis, who's standing next to the door. He just pats his shoulder cheerfully while his son-in-law can't hide a little smirk as well. Good job. Travis knows exactly what Scott tries to tell him with that small gesture.

"So, are all Swift-Kelce's on board now?" Scott asks jokingly, as Austin comes running downstairs.

"I'm ready, guys!" he answers and everyone finally leaves the house.

As soon as they board her private plane, Taylor drops onto one of the seats. She tries to control her heavy breaths and places one hand on her belly. Travis places their luggage behind the seating area next to Taylor, while the rest of the family is getting rid of their coats and bags. They casually get ready for a comfortable one hour flight.

Travis looks at his pale wife, tries not to worry too much. "You ok?" he asks shortly and Taylor turns her head to him and nods.

"Yeah, it's just.. the stairs...it's ridiculous, I know." she answers quickly between her breaths.

Travis just shakes his head. "Taylor, please. What's ridiculous about that? You're carrying our child, come on." He says reassuringly and sits down next to her. Andrea and Austin sit down on the table in front of them, while Scott is answering a business call at the other end of Taylor's plane. "Don't you wanna take off your coat, babe?" he asks as she just shakes her head.

"I'm a little cold." she mumbles and lets her head rest on the window while she buries herself inside her big blue coat. Travis looks at her and starts to feel a little guilty. It seems as if she really didn't feel like traveling today.

"Do you want a blanket, Tay?" Andrea asks and offers her one that's stowed in the storage over the table.

"No thanks, I'm good." Taylor mumbles sleepy. Andrea, as well as Travis, gives her a sympathetic look. It takes less than ten seconds and she feels Travis grab her hand. She looks at him quickly as he mumbles "C'mere." and pulls her into his arms. Taylor lets out a little giggle and cuddles herself into his chest. Travis's hand lands on her baby bump and his lips find her hair. "My poor darling.." he whispers and makes Taylor laugh a little.

Andrea looks at the couple smiling. It just melts her heart when she witnesses these moments. To see how caring Travis is. How he always wants to make sure that his wife and baby are okay. Taylor truly found the love of her life in Travis and even though she suffers from the last weeks of pregnancy, Andrea knows that Taylor has never been happier in her life.

"Your poor darling can consider herself a lucky girl that she has such a patient husband, Travis." is Andrea's answer, as she looks at Taylor with a smirk on her lips. Taylor returns her grin quietly. She has to admit to herself that as so often, her mom is right. Travis has been unbelievably patient and selfless in these past months. Taylor lifts her head up a little and gives him a short kiss.
