Today was date night. Taylor was stressed. Leaving her 6 week old twins and her 5 year old with a stranger, scared her. But she trusted Blake and she knew that Blake wouldn't use them if she had any doubts herself. Taylor and Travis had worked collaboratively on settling the kids and putting them to bed, the boys and Colette, out like a light. In the small time they had before Anna arrived, Taylor worked on getting herself ready. Wearing floaty black pants, a black corset like top and black and gold wedged heels. She had a gold chain necklace on, small and delicate but also complimented the outfit very well. Her hair was tied effortlessly back in a bun, her bangs straightened and neat, classic winged eye liner and red lip to tie it all together. As they would leave, she would pair it off with a long, grey coat and a small black shoulder bag. Travis wore brown pants, a half cream, half white button up shirt and white sneakers. The couple were ready to go, just as they heard a small knock at the door.

" hey Anna, lovely to meet you, I'm Travis and this is my girlfriend Taylor " Travis greeted her, shaking hands as she smiled at both of them. She was probably around 22/23 if Travis had to guess.

" ah hey, nice to meet you guys " she smiled, walking into their home

They showed her around a little, telling her where to find stuff to eat if she was hungry and to just help herself, where their room was and where Colette's room was, along with the bathroom as well.

" so we'll be back around 10pm, they just had a feed so should be good until then, if they do wake up, their pacifiers are in their bassinets and in case they are hungry they're also pumped bottles in the fridge. I measured them all out so you don't have to worry about that, just heat them for about 40 seconds and they should be good to go " Taylor rambled, clearly a little nervous to leave the twins " and Colette shouldn't wake up, but if she does, just lie with her until she falls back asleep " 

" it's okay, you guys have a good time. I've got the kids and I'll be sure to call you if anything happens " Anna softly told them with a smile, ushering them out the door so they weren't late for their reservation.

Taylor took a deep breath, and shut the door, her hand in Travis' as they got into the car. Travis was yet to tell her, but he was very proud that she had accomplished her fear of leaving them. He knew it was something that was definitely bringing her a great deal of stress but she didn't let up. The drive to the restaurant was pretty quick thankfully, it not being too far from their home. They arrived promptly, taking a seat and ordering some drinks, them both having a glass of white wine; Taylor could only have a glass or two at most, because she was still breastfeeding. Soon after, they ordered some food too, and now they were just left, left to perhaps discuss the sagas of the last few weeks.

" Tay, I think we should maybe talk about how we've been making each other feel the past few weeks " Travis spoke, reaching across the table and taking Taylor's hand into his " what's making you so worried baby? "

" to be honest, I'm not really sure. My anxiety was obviously high when Noah was in hospital but now he's getting better, I'm just not sure what it is " taylor told him, trying to be adult about the whole situation, but expressing her feelings, especially when they were sad ones, definitely wasn't her specialty and it was even harder when she wasn't entirely sure how she felt herself.

" I hear you babe, I was so worried too. But we took it too far when we kept arguing, we weren't doing each other any favours by calling each other names or accusing each other of wrongful things. I'll admit, I'm not a saint, I definitely took it too far too, so I suppose I should apologise properly, some of the stuff I said was completely out of line " he apologised, rubbing his thumb over the back of Taylor's hand
