Taylor was sitting in her music room like so often, Taylor had her knees pulled up to her chest, Joe had to travel to London because he said he missed his family. Taylor missed her parents too, very dearly, yet she didn't want to put them or her baby at risk with COVID going strong.

There was one person she dreaded telling about her pregnancy, this was highly unplanned and horrible for almost every business decision made recently, it would push all their plans back even more than COVID did.

She didn't know wether she should click on the contact button or not, she knew Tree cared for her more than a publicist cared about their client and Taylor cared more about Tree than just as a publicist, Tree has always been there for Taylor and over the years they have formed a close friendship, Taylor valued both Trees professional and personal opinion and she was always someone who would listen to Taylor's problems even if they were minor. Taylor appreciated that very much knowing not many people in her area of business were lucky enough to achieve that with their publicists even after years of working together.

Tree would be happy for her on a personal level but for Taylor's career that was a major set back and would make everyone's job alot harder in the future. There was so much to discuss

As Taylor finally managed to click on the contact button and the phone began to ring a very groggy Tree awnsered the phone.
"Taylor, it's five in the morning."

That was the first thing she heard that morning, Taylor hadn't realized what time it was with New York being an hour ahead of Nashville and Taylor getting up early almost every morning to throw up she forgot that not every person is up at this time on a saturday.

For a second Taylor debated wether to tell Tree it wasn't important and that she should just go back to sleep however Taylor found this was more rude than just telling her

"I think I kinda have an issue." Taylor whispered, her voice a lot weaker than it usually was since she had just thrown up ten minutes ago

"Are you alright?" usually Taylor would have been able to deal with questions like this but somehow today her hormones were running crazy playing tricks on her mind. She felt tears rolling down her cheeks

"No." she sniffles and she heard Tree sit up in her bed and she could her Tree whisper something to her husband
"It's just Taylor, do you want me to go to the livingroom?"

Taylor sniffled some more, Tree was married, Tree didn't have to face issues like she is with a partner who couldn't care less at the moment and is currently in another continent

"Taylor what's wrong? You're starting to scare me." Tree said, a lot less calm than she was just a minute ago

"I'm pregnant." Taylor said, her voice as steady as she could force it to be and the tears that were now freely running down her cheeks kept on coming back

For a moment in time there was total silence on each end of the line before she heard Tree take a deep breath
"How are you feeling?"

"Honestly, like shit, I'm throwing up non stop and everyone is telling me to be excited and I am just there are so many things I am scared of, I am so overwhelmed but like I can't visit any of my friends or even parents because I don't want to put anyone at risk, Selena has Lupus I am so not gonna risk her and all my other friends have really young children at home or are too far away and I am just so overwhelmed and I can't stand this whole being lonely." Taylor sobbed, she had admitted that before, Blake had told her it was normal to feel this during pregnancy and it would all get better but Taylor didn't have much faith in that right now

"Taylor," Tree began, Taylor could hear the sympathy in her voice and she knew Tree was genuinely worried
"This is probably very unexpected and new for you, but you will get used to this, this will be alright. What about Joe? I'm sure he is around to help you."

"He is in London, he didn't react well and just when I thought he was finally on board he suddenly had to visit his parents in London and I'm just so alone and everyday is a struggle." Taylor sniffled while petting Benji who was now curled up in her lap

"Do you want me to track him down? I can do that." Tree said in a very serious voice and Taylor knew she wasn't joking but regardless the absurdity brought a tiny little smile to her still tear stained face.

"Thanks but he said he'll be back in three weeks or so, I just needed to get all that out of my system." Taylor says, combing her fingers through her curly bangs

"If you need someone to talk to, I'm here, I am just gonna assume that you want none of this out to the public?" Tree said and Taylor could hear Tree walking and she could assume that Tree was walking to her office so she wouldn't disturb her husband.

"Nothing, this pregnancy can't get out to the public and no word about this baby will be leaked to any magazine, I can't risk that. I'll keep my child a secret for as long as possible and if it all comes down we'll have to pay magazines not to publish anything." Taylor said and the anger and fear was evident in her voice, no innocent child should be exploited by the media.

"I'll deal with it, I assume NDA's for the team?"
Tree said and Taylor nodded before she realized Tree couldn't see her

"Yeah, for anyone but my family, Blake and Ryan, Selena, Gigi, Kelleigh and some other friends, I'll have to check who else and of course you don't have to sign one because it wouldn't make sense since you're the one who keeps it from getting out and you would sabotage your own job with it." Taylor concluded and she could hear Tree chuckle at the other end of the line

"and I love you and wouldn't do anything to harm you or your child. But if you need me too you know I would."

"That too." Taylor said now chuckling as well, her hands on her belly and she gently tried to feel if she could feel her baby move, form the outside, over the last week she had felt the baby move a couple of times, she didn't felt it that strong but she felt it and everything it send happy tears down her cheeks that lately were only covered in sad tears.
