Safe & Sound

long story short

taylor's pov

the shows in paris were perfect however i bittersweet as i had to say goodbye to mine and travis's parents for the last time before i wasn't sure when. my mom had to get back to help with the hospital she volunteered at however she had assured me that if travis had to leave she would be on the first flight out and even if he was still here, i just had to give her a call and she would come straight away. this evening i was set to fly out to italy for a few days break before my next shows. however, this morning i had organised a lunch with tree to share the news and make a plan of action. we decided to meet in one of the meeting rooms in the hotel so it was totally private, so i threw on some jeans and a jumper before beginning to head out the door "babe," travis said which made me stop and turn
"i have to go i have this meeting" i said, worried i was going to be late
"i know, let me walk you" he said smiling as he chucked a hoodie over his head and smoothly weaving his hand into mine, kissing me on my forehead before we walked out. i checked my texts to see tree's directions to it as this was a big hotel and i hadn't had much time to explore with the tumultuous events of the past weekend. "she said floor 1 and to go through the sliding doors into the conference department and then it's room 13" i read, looking at travis confused as he lead us to the elevator and pressed floor 1. alone in the elevator he pulled me close to him, skirting his hand over my tummy as he drew my lips to his. 

he continued working his against mine, pushing his tongue against mine until the 'ding!' went on the elevator singalling for the doors to begin opening, i looked at him a little dazed as i said "what was tha-"
"just something to get you thinking of our week ahead" i laughed, giving him a quick wink before he rested his hand on my lower back and we walked together through the halls to the conference area. i could see tree in the room already so i gave her a quick wave before briefly reaching up to plant a tender kiss on travis as he smiled at me and said "text me when you're done" i nodded, feeling his eyes on me as i walked into the meeting room.

"good morning tree," i said, as tree for me to take a seat next to her. 
"morning taylor, i have to say that man is making you happier than i have ever seen you before" i couldn't help the smile that overtook my face at her remark and i agreed with her saying
"i don't think i have ever been so happy before tree honestly" i began thinking of travis and all the wonderful things he had bought into my life, the most prominent being the new life we had the privilege of bringing in together
"so what did you want to talk about?" tree asked matter-of-factly. 
"well, speaking of travis, and tree you are the only person who we have told other than our family." she smiled at that, knowing that although i was technically her boss, we worked so closely that she had become one of my best friends over the years. "well, i'm pregnant." i announced and i watched as her mouth dropped and she quickly came over to hug me, i stood up for it as she said
"oh taylor! you have always wanted this, i'm so happy for you"

once we had celebrated over the news enough we both took our seats again, both aware that we had a lot to sort out now "so, i hate to ask but why now?" she said, my life was the busiest it had ever been and she knew that best
"i mean it was kind of an accident," i said sheepishly "but a happy one! i'm just stressed that i've committed to the eras tour and i hate to let my fans down"
"taylor, i understand what you are saying but your health is mine, and i'm sure your fans too, top priority. so, do you have any thoughts on what you may want to do in terms of the eras tour, your career and also announcing it to the public?" i took a second to think through all her questions before replying
"well, with the eras tour i've been researching and i think i could do it until the end of my first trimester at least, which would mean still doing the june london shows that possibly finishing there. however, i really feel that i don't want to cancel rather postpone for a year or 6 months or something, you know?" she nodded as she said
"okay we could definitely arrange something like that, i'm going to have to look into how many performances you will be able to do while pregnant but the end of june sounds alright..." she said hesitantly, scribbling in her notebook "we will do best telling everyone sooner rather than later to prevent much backlash, and while doing that what will we say as reasoning?"
"i mean, i don't think i'm ready to announce it to the world quite yet, i mean i've not even been able to go home to tell any of my friends, but i think if we said something like 'for personal health reasons' then that would explain it when we tell them later" i said. 

for the next few hours we discussed following steps we would take, talking about announcing it and possible times to postpone the concerts to, then we got onto personal details as tree also managed that, tree suggested a private hospital which often had celebrities in so had a great privacy and security policy. all in all, i felt much more comforted in my life in general following the meeting. we arranged to call throughout this week and to have our next in person meeting the same time next week. 

afterwards i returned back to mine and travis's room to finish my packing. upon walking in i found travis sat on the floor trying to sort through my clothes to help me pack. he looked incredibly confused as i laughed, resting my hands on his shoulders as i kissed his cheek he dramatically threw his hands up saying "i tried tay i really did, but when you have 15 different bottles which all seem to be a moisturiser of some sort i don't understand!" i laughed at his outburst, running my hands throw his hair, saying
"god, you're such a drama queen! thanks for helping though trav" lowering myself to the floor i kissed him as i began to help sort out the mess he'd unintentionally made
"so what did tree say?" he asked, concern laced through his tone. i spent the next half hour filling him in on our meeting and once i'd finished i also had done packing which we took as our sign to leave our paris room which had become so significant.
