Safe & Sound

but daddy i love him

taylor's pov

"relax tay" travis said, seeming as cool as a cucumber as he flicked through the tv.
"that's easy for you to say you're not responsible for carrying this for 9 months! what if they hate it and declare it an outcast!" i exclaimed, if i was rationally thinking i am well aware that wouldn't be the truth but i wasn't i was nervous as i paced around the apartment.

the day before

i still had 2 nights left in paris and travis had decided to stay with me indefinitely, i worried that he would miss vital pre-season training but he assured me all was fine. the next worry that couldn't help racing through my brain was the fact that i still had almost 7 months left of the eras tour and by then i was definitely going to be unable to perform. i hated to let my fans down and so i knew that it was best to inform them of cancellations sooner rather than later, however i knew i'd definitely not cancel just postpone for a while. 

once i'd vented all my worries to travis at 8 o'clock in the morning after another bout of nausea and a substantial breakfast he sat me down and we began to talk over logistics. "i agree with you tay 100% i think we need to talk to tree asap to get things under control, but i also think that only your mom and us know at the moment so we need to tell at least our families before we go announcing it to the world" he said, drawing patterns into my hand with his thumb. i nodded thinking his words over
"oh definitely but i really have an aversion from telling them over the phone" he nodded at that as i continued "but, it's going to have to be soon, i think. how about we call them and ask if they can fly out within the next few days? i know it's short notice but we can't wait long we will have to inform the stadiums and stuff" i said. travis agreed and with that we both called our families, my mom already being here so i just had my dad to call, austin was busy and i concluded i could just tell him over the phone. travis had also called his parents and they were going to fly in, all of them arriving tomorrow, immediately i felt the butterflies. what if they disapproved?

'just checking in then we will come up!' was the text travis received from his mom which only heightened my nerves, i know my dad was arriving in a couple hours which meant i had to tell travis's family first which for me, naturally, was more terrifying.

only 10 or so minutes later there was a knock on the door to the suite and travis jumped up to get it, i followed him as he wrapped a comforting arm around me as an attempt to ease my nerves. before we opened the door he kissed my forehead and said "they love you already tay and they will only love you more" as he squeezed my shoulder and opened the door. both his parents were stood on the other side and i watched as their faces lit up when they saw us, his dad first sharing a signature handshake with travis whereas his mom, donna, went straight for a hug with me which i felt comforting. she was an incredibly genuine and lovely person and i had bonded with her over many a long afternoon spent in the guest suite watching travis play and we had grown pretty close. after i went for a handshake with ed however he also pulled me into a bear hug, both greetings put my nerves slightly at ease, however the swarms of butterflies were still undeniably evident. 

once we had said our 'hellos' travis invited them to have seat on the couch as we took a seat on the facing one. "this feels very formal trav, is everything okay?" his mom asked and he shook his head as he beamed
"yes mom everything's fine, tay and i just have some... news" they both looked at us expectantly and i made eye signals to travis that i wanted him to do the talking so he placed a loving hand on my thigh as he looked at them and said "this time next year you guys will get to be grandparents again" i watched as donna's eyes quickly began to fill with tears as she smiled and i didn't miss the tear ed let slip as they both rushed over to us and donna took both my hands in hers as she said "you're pregnant?" i nodded, unable to stop my emotions from showing as i found tears falling "oh taylor!" she exclaimed pulling me into the largest hug before saying "oh travis!" also pulling him in as well before sniffling as ed said
"congratulations both of you, i have no doubts you will make the worlds best parents and taylor although we haven't known you long i know this is right for my son, i couldn't be happier" i thanked him for his words as i squeezed travis's hand as a 'i'm so happy right now' signal.
