[ FAMILY ] t i e s. - a tayvis story.

[ FIVE ]

"You and the kids are welcome to join us whenever. I love you."

Kylie looked at the text from Taylor and lt out a sign. The girls were so upset when they left the Splash Pad that they cried until they fell asleep for an afternoon. Donna and Ed were such great grandparents to Wyatt, Elliotte, and Bennett, but she understood why Taylor and Travis wanted absolutely nothing to do with them or why she didnt want them near thier daughters.

"Talk to your parents. Tell them to leave Taylor and Travis alone." Kylie told Jason, as she paced around the small space that was their room. "We're all on this boat to have a good vacation, and to be frank, they are ruining it for everyone, including me. I have finally found my friends again, and I want to spent time with them. My friend is married to your brother, and the girls have cousins. I want them to know their cousins. But if you and your parents can't be civil, you can all stay away from me while the girls and I spend time with them."

"Why are you so defensive of them?" Jason asked. Kylie stopped pacing. She turned to look at him, an eyebrow raised. "You haven't seen either of these girls since you were a child, but they've become your top priority just because they are on this boat with us." 

"You will clearly never understand the love and loyalty you have for a person you have know your whole life," Kylie told him. She started to walk towards the door of the room. "You couldn't even be loyal to your own brother. So I know you don't understand sticking by a friend that you have a close bond with."

"I never stopped loving him Ky," she heard the words that he had said, but she was already out of the door, it closing behind her. Something about his words sounded genuine. They sounded true, but she also didn't know what to believe. She still hadn't wrapped her mind around the fact that he had a brother that he never once mentioned. He knew almost every aspect of her life, but she felt like the biggest part of him was missing from his stories.

Kylie walked and walked until she reached the suites where Taylor said she and Travis had been staying. She knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. She could faintly hear the girls' giggles on the other side of the door. Taylor opened the door, her hair no longer in the ponytail it was in before.

Taylor pulled Kylie into a hug, seeing every emotion on her face. They had upset her, and Kylie wasn't the type to show her emotions. Taylor pulled her into the room, her arms still wrapped around her as she closed the door. Kylie wrapped her arms around Taylor, hugging her as tightly as she could without interfering with her pregnant belly.

They finally released each other and walked further into the room. "This is a really nice room," Kylie said, looking around the room. The way was far bigger than the one she was in with Jason and three girls. Taylor climbed back into the bed, laying next to Travis, who pulled her into him. The girls were sitting on the floor, playing with some toys.

"Hi, LeLe!" Koa called out to Kylie from her spot on the floor.

"Hi, Lele!" Khi repeated after her sister. A smile was on both girls' faces.

"Hey, beautiful girls," Kylie said back to them. She sat down in the chair across from where Taylor and Travis were lying in bed. "I'm sorry for leading them to you guys. I made sure I turned off the tracking app on my phone so that it doesn't happen again." Kylie told the two of them. She forgot that Jason could find her that way. She also didn't think Jason would bring his parents around Taylor and Travis.

"It's alright," Taylor said, feeling Travis burying his face into her neck. She already knew what that meant. He was about to drift into a nap. He pulled her body a little closer to him, and his hand slipped under her shirt, rubbing her pregnant belly. "You didn't do it on purpose. We understand."
