A Swift Romance - Tayvis

Newborn Bliss

"Hi Sisi, I love you, I love you so so much even if that means I can't sleep anymore" I walk to the living room where Travis is sitting and kissing Sienna's little nose as she's sleeping.

"Travis, you're annoying her, she's sleeping"

"I know but I can't get over her, she's so tiny and has little squishy cheeks...I love her"

"I know...she really is adorable, I did a great job"

"You really did" he gently kisses me before turning back to his daughter, the most important thing to him right now

"Well since you're here obsessing and I'm exhausted, can I go take a nap? Will you be fine?"

"Sure we'll be fine, I can handle her"

"Alright, you're mom is there to help if you need any, and if you need anything wake me up" I smirk and get upstairs to our bedroom.

Travis's POV

"Morning sweetie"

"Morning mom"

"Awww that's the cutest thing, you know you can put her in the bassinet too, and sleep next to her"

"No I'm good"

"Poor you, you don't even really realize how sleeping is important yet"

As I'm about to put her down she starts twisting and opening her eyes, letting me know her nap is over "Mom she's doing something weird"

"She's hungry honey"

"How do you know that?"

"Because she's twisting, that means she's either hungry or in pain...but she's not crying so she's probably hungry"

"How do you know all that?"

"Well I had two kids Travis, and believe me you were not the easiest one"

"Really? Dad said I was the cutest thing"

"Cute yeah, eating maybe too much and incredibly noisy and...you ruined my breasts"

"Gee Mom, well that's nice"

"It's the truth, so if your daughter is half like you were, Tay is screwed...maybe you should bring her upstairs before she starts crying"

Travis carefully gets up not wanting to disturb his sleeping baby, and gratefully getting away from his moms rants about him ruining her breasts.

"Alright, let's go eat princess"

As I get upstairs Tay is sleeping quietly, she seems so comfortable I almost don't wanna wake her up but Sienna does the work for me, starting screaming

"What's wrong, did something happen?" Tay slowly sits up and starts feeding Sienna "Nothing she's just being a drama queen again...she does that quite a lot"

"Haha well, I guess we'll get used to it"

"Tay do you think she's going to ruin your breasts? Because my mom said that I did that to her and I dont want it happening to you. Maybe we should give her formula. I like your breasts how they are now."

Taylor rolls her eyes.

"Oh my God..." she tries not to laugh as she cant take me seriously "Travis she's a baby."

"But really I don't want that to happen. What if she eats too much like me? It would be terrible if they're ruined they're so nice."

"Babe I'll be fine. We aren't using formula unless we have to, and certainly not just to save my breasts for you. I love you but you're losing your mind."

"I'm just trying to think about things. This could be important. Like look, she's still eating. She's little this is crazy."

"Well she's not always eating. Sometimes it's just the sucking that helps soothe her."

"Daughter like father I guess"

She's opening her mouth to retaliate when my mom walks in.

"Hey, I thought since they woke you that you might be hungry. I made some soup."

My mom walks in completely ignoring me and my hunger, setting a tray with some soup and fruit next to Tay.

"You have to eat enough so your milk supply stays good."

"Uhhh I'm hungry too mom."

"And? You didn't just push someone out of you. She's sore."

"But I helped."

"Travis holding your child's head as your wife pushes her out is not a huge help in the long run. Cute that you wanted to be there but you didn't go through the pain."

"Well fine. I'll go make my own sandwich."

"Actually, I think she's done eating. And she needs changed. You can make yourself useful."

I take Sisi, watching her squirm around in my arms as I carry her over to her room. My mom follows me for help, stepping up once I open the diaper.

"What the hell is that? No way in hell! That can't be human!"

"Travis it's normal. Babies have to poop too."

"But mom look at that! Its colors and it's gross. I can't touch it."

"You're a dad now. You have to step up and deal with some things."

"The smell though... and the color and blaaaahh."

She pushes me aside to save me from the hell that my poor baby unleashed, taking care of the situation.

"Okay. You can at least put a new diaper on her."

"Oh yeah, that I'm amazing at."

I walk up to do my job, noticing how happy Sienna is now that she's clean. She laughs and makes faces at me the whole time until I notice her looking different...

"Mom! Mom!"

"Oh my God. I'm in the same room as you Travis. What could have happened now?"

I hold up my hands, showing her exactly what happens as they're dripping wet.

"She peed on me!"

"Calm down. Jesus you're more of a baby than she is."

She throws a wipe at me and once again takes over.

"What's going on in here? Why are you yelling?"

"Because you married a child, and as his mother I apologize for that. I should have taught him better."

"Travis. What happened?"

She looks over at me, the only glare besides my mother's that scares me to my core.

"Why is your mother doing simple things you can do?"

"Because, uh, I kinda got scared."

"He couldn't change her diaper. And when I made him put the new one on she peed on him and obviously that means death."

"Do you have any idea how many times she has peed on me in the last few days, Travis? Seriously grow up."

"Well I mean you didn't see what I did when I opened that diaper and it was scary, Tay. There were colors and I didn't expect to see them."

"She's a baby though. You've watched me change some scary diapers already."

"I just wasn't prepared... mentally."

"I'm really sorry, Tay. I'm really, really sorry this is what you have to deal with."
