Taylor and Travis had been married for two years and were about to celebrate their second anniversary. As Taylor looked back at their wedding pictures, she couldn't help but feel emotional. She was heavily pregnant and hormonal on their special day, and she wished she could have celebrated their anniversary like she had planned, with lots of sex and chocolate-covered strawberries. But now, all she could do was cry as she thought about how much their lives would change with the baby.

Travis had been looking forward to their anniversary for months. He had planned to surprise Taylor with a romantic dinner at their favorite restaurant, followed by a night of passion and intimacy. But as he walked into the house, hearing Taylor's sobs coming from the living room, he deserted his own wishes and plans. Instead, he quickly kicked off his shoes and threw his practice bag on the ground before rushing toward her to comfort her. When he saw his wife sitting on the couch, wearing his sweatshirt and crying uncontrollably, his heart broke.

"Hey, baby? You okay?" he asked softly as he rubbed her back.

"No. This is so stupid," she replied, tears streaming down her face.

"What? Nothing you do is stupid," he said, reassuring her.

"This is," Taylor sobbed. "Time has flown so fast since the wedding, and now, the baby is coming, and everything is changing, and I have to be a mom. Oh god."

Travis carefully tilted her chin to look her in the eyes. "Tay, you're going to be a great mom," he said with a smile.

Taylor's eyes filled with tears at his words, and she threw her arms around him, holding him tightly. "Thank you," she whispered. "I just feel so scared and overwhelmed."

Travis held her close, feeling her body shake with sobs. "I know, baby. But we'll get through this together. I promise."

Taylor nodded, feeling a sense of comfort from her husband's words. She knew they were in this together, which gave her some comfort. As they sat there silently, Travis stroked her hair gently, calming her down.

"You know what?" he said suddenly, breaking the silence. "I have an idea."

"What?" Taylor asked, looking up at him curiously.

"Let's do something fun and spontaneous. Something that will take our minds off everything for a little while."

Taylor's eyes sparkled with excitement. "What do you have in mind?"

Travis grinned mischievously. "How about we go on a trip? Just you and me."

Taylor's eyes widened with surprise, and a smile spread across her face. She couldn't believe how thoughtful Travis was being. "Are you serious?" she asked, her voice trembling with excitement.

"Absolutely," he replied, pulling her in for a kiss. "Let's fly somewhere and make it our babymoon."

Taylor hugged him tightly, grateful for her husband's love and support. She knew that this trip would be exactly what they needed to recharge and reconnect. As they spent the rest of the night packing and planning, Taylor felt a sense of anticipation and excitement for the new chapter of their lives ahead. She knew that, with Travis by her side, anything was possible.

The next day, they boarded a plane and flew to Hawaii. The sun was shining, the air was warm, and the breeze was refreshing. They spent their days lounging on the beach, swimming in the ocean, and exploring the island. They ate delicious food, drank fruity cocktails (mocktails for Taylor), and laughed until their bellies hurt.

As the sun set on their final night in Hawaii, Travis surprised Taylor with a private dinner on the beach. The table was decorated with candles, flowers, and seashells, and the waves crashing against the shore provided the perfect soundtrack for their romantic evening.

Travis took Taylor's hand and looked into her eyes as they sipped bubbly juice and ate steak. "I love you, Taylor," he said. "And I can't wait to start this new chapter of our lives together."

Taylor felt her heart swell with love and gratitude. As they walked back to their hotel room, hand in hand, Taylor felt a sense of peace and contentment wash over her. She knew that, no matter what challenges lay ahead, they would face them together with love, strength, and courage.
