this is a short little chapter, and I'm mostly just posting it to let you all know that i've started writing another book! it's a forbidden love, and i've taken lots of inspiration from The Notebook, because it's one of my favourite movies. the first chapter will be out soon, i just want to write as many chapters as i can before i start posting so that i can stay on top of things.

p.s. if you haven't seen The Notebook, PLEASE WATCH IT!! it's one of Taylor's favourite movies, if that convinces you...

love youssss 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Taylor's POV

"Welcome home my babies." I said quietly as I stepped inside, glancing down at the newborn baby lying fast asleep in my arms. She was so perfect. Everything about her, just perfect. I could simply stare at her all day, every day, for the rest of my life.

I walked slowly through the house, Travis only a step behind me with the hundreds of bags we had taken to the hospital, as well as our little baby boy laying comfortably in his arms.

Very gently, I sat myself down on the couch, and leaned back into the seat. "Can you believe they're ours?"

"Can you believe there's two of them?" Travis added after dropping down the bags, and sitting down next to me.

"Actually– I can believe it. They both came out of me." I giggled, and Travis smiled at me.

The first night in the hospital with the twins had gone well, but we also had nurses and midwives there to help us out. Now, we were all alone with them. Just Travis and I, and our babies. I would be lying if I said I wasn't a little bit terrified. I felt like everything I'd learnt about newborn babies had suddenly slipped from my mind.

"Since they're both sleeping, why don't you try and get some sleep as well." Travis offered, and I snapped out of my thoughts, and looked at him.

"I'm okay. I'm not tired." I smiled softly, focussing my attention back on the tiny baby girl in my arms.

"Baby, you barely slept last night. You know what they say; you should sleep when the baby sleeps. Especially with twins." Travis said, but I just shook my head.

"I'm fine, Trav. It's okay." I turned my attention to my son, whose eyes were still closed, but his mouth was making little sucking positions. "I think he's hungry, swap?"

Travis sighed, but looked defeated in the whole 'sleep' thing. He nodded, and I placed Aria gently in his left arm, then took Aidan from his right arm, and laid him across my chest. After I pulled down my shirt, my baby boy very quickly latched onto my right side, and started suckling away.

"You're such a good little eater!" I exclaimed softly, watching my son in awe. This whole breastfeeding thing felt so new, and so different to what I'd expected. It was weird, and a little bit painful, but still somehow one of the most amazing feelings ever.

"Oh- I think Ari's hungry as well." Travis said, and I looked over at my daughter, who was laying, now suddenly wide awake, with her tiny mouth hung open.

I giggled at her little facial expression, "Can you grab me the pillow?"

"Sure." Travis smiled, and with Aria in one hand, and the large, round-ish pillow in the other, he helped me wrap it around my body, and got me situated with both babies on both nipples.

It took a little while for Aria to latch on, and my overtired, hormonal self got frustrated very quickly, but Travis helped me, and it wasn't long before both babies were happy suckling away.

"I feel like a cow." I sighed, and looked down at my babies.

"But look how happy they both are!" Travis grinned, and I smiled softly.

A few minutes later, I suddenly gasped, and sucked in a sharp breath through my teeth.

"You okay?" Travis asked, and I gritted my teeth in pain.

"Um– fuck." I whispered, then used one of my hands to gently tug my breast away from Aidan's mouth.

He started to wail, and tears welled in my eyes.

"What happened baby?"

"I don't know– maybe he wasn't latched right? Fuck... I don't know it really hurts." I whispered, tears still dripping down my face. "Can you make sure Ari stays on the pillow? I need to help him."

Travis nodded and placed a hand near Aria's back, more just in case, since she already was pretty secure and comfortable on the pillow.

I tried my best to guide Aidan back into position, but he was so busy screaming that he wasn't latching on. 

"Trav– I don't know what to do." I fretted, my breathing quickening as I started to panic.

"Hey, take a deep breath."

"I'm already failing Travis." I whimpered softly.

"Hey, no you're not. It takes time to learn your babies." Travis assured me, and I nodded.

I kept trying, and failing, and trying, and failing, until eventually, he latched back on and started happily suckling away.

"Oh-... he did it." I smiled proudly, and glanced back to my daughter, who was still happily eating.

"I'm so proud of you, Tay." Travis smiled, planting a soft kiss onto my forehead. "I love you."

"I love you too."
