The Girl Between Us

The Wedding

Taylor's POV ~ 6 Months Later

Six months had flown by in a whirlwind of wedding preparations, anticipation, and love. Now, as Taylor and I stood hand in hand at the altar, surrounded by our closest friends and family, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the journey that had brought us to this moment.

As the ceremony drew to a close and the reception began, Hadley stepped forward, a radiant smile lighting up her face as she prepared to deliver her speech.

"Mom, Dad," she began, her voice steady yet filled with emotion,

"today is a day I'll never forget. Seeing the two of you standing here together, surrounded by love and happiness, fills my heart with so much joy. You've taught me what it means to love unconditionally, to support each other through thick and thin, and to never give up on the ones you love." Hadley said.

Tears welled up in Taylor's eyes as she reached out to squeeze Hadley's hand, her heart overflowing with love and pride.

"And so, as I stand here before you today, I want to thank you for being the most amazing parents a girl could ask for. I am so grateful to have you both in my life, and I promise to cherish and support your love for all the days to come. I love you both so much," Hadley finished, her voice filled with warmth and sincerity.

Taylor and I exchanged a tearful glance, our hearts bursting with love for our daughter.
As Hadley stepped back, the room erupted into applause, and one by one, our friends and family members stepped forward to share their own words of love and support.

"Taylor, Travis, you two are a shining example of what true love looks like," Selena Gomez said, her voice filled with admiration.

"I am so grateful to have witnessed your journey together, and I know that your love will only continue to grow stronger with each passing day." Selena says.

Ed Sheeran and Harry Styles echoed Selena's sentiments, offering their heartfelt congratulations and well wishes to the newlyweds.

"And to Hadley, my sweetest niece," Ed added, turning to our daughter with a warm smile.

"you are an incredible young woman, and your parents are so lucky to have you. Never forget the love and strength that you bring to this family." Ed spoke.

As the evening wore on, speeches were given by Abby, Andrea and Scott Swift, and Donna, Ed, Kylie, and Jason Kelce, each one filled with laughter, tears, and heartfelt memories.

Travis POV:

And finally, as the night drew to a close and Taylor and I shared a dance under the twinkling lights, Hadley stepped forward, a smile playing on her lips as she looked up at us.

"Mom, Dad," she said, her voice filled with love and gratitude.

"thank you for showing me what it means to love and be loved. I am so proud to call you both my parents." My 9 year old says, she 9! And so wise!

Tears welled up in Taylor's eyes as she pulled Hadley into a tight embrace, her heart overflowing with love for her daughter.

And as we danced the night away, surrounded by the love and support of our friends and family, I knew that this was only the beginning of our journey together—a journey filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities.

Taylor's POV:

As the morning sunlight streamed through the kitchen window, casting a warm glow over the room, I savored the familiar sights and sounds of our daily routine. Hadley sat at the table, munching on her favorite cereal, while I prepared breakfast and glanced over the day's agenda.

"Alright, Hadley, after breakfast, we'll head to the courthouse for the final adoption hearing," I said, trying to keep my voice steady despite the excitement bubbling within me.

Hadley's eyes lit up with anticipation as she nodded eagerly.

"I can't wait, Mom! I've been counting down the days." Hadley cheered.

I smiled at her enthusiasm, feeling a swell of pride in my heart. Ever since Travis and I had decided to officially adopt Hadley, she had been filled with excitement and anticipation, eagerly looking forward to the day when she would finally be a Swift Kelce.

After breakfast, we piled into the car and made our way to the courthouse, our hearts pounding with nervous excitement. As we entered the courtroom, I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the solemnity of the occasion.

The judge presiding over our case welcomed us with a warm smile, his eyes kind and understanding as he began the proceedings. As he reviewed the details of our adoption petition, my heart swelled with pride at the thought of finally making our family complete.

"Mrs. Swift, Mr. Kelce, do you understand the responsibilities and obligations of adopting Hadley into your family?" the judge asked, his voice gentle yet firm.

Travis and I exchanged a nod, our voices steady as we affirmed our commitment to Hadley's well-being and happiness.

"And do you, Hadley, understand the significance of being adopted into the Swift Kelce family?" the judge continued, turning to our daughter with a kind smile.

Hadley nodded eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement.

"Yes, Your Honor. I can't wait to officially be a part of the family." Hadley says.

With that, the judge declared the adoption finalized, sealing our bond as a family for eternity. Tears of joy streamed down my face as I embraced Hadley, feeling an overwhelming sense of gratitude and love for the incredible journey that had brought us to this moment.

As we left the courthouse hand in hand, our hearts overflowing with happiness, I knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in our lives—a chapter filled with love, laughter, and endless possibilities. And I couldn't wait to see what the future held for our family.
