Taylor x Travis: In Every Life

the editing mishap

Travis' POV

"Alright nah." I chuckled, and Jason laughed along with me, shaking his head. "But in all seriousness, I do think it was a good call." I tacked on, referring to the game we'd been discussing.

"Yeah." Jason agreed. "Controversial, but hey, that's football sometimes."

I nodded, taking a quick glance at my notes as Jason seamlessly moved us onto the next section of the podcast. We talked for a few minutes about the new tweets from the 92%'s, laughing along and making comments. As Jason read out the next one, I felt something tickle my foot and jumped, looking down to see that Benji had somehow got into the room and was looking for attention.

"Earth to Travis." Jason chuckled.

"Sorry." I reached down and picked up the cat to show him to the camera. "Someone apparently wants to say hello." Benji meowed, and Jason chuckled. "I'm telling you, you and Ky should get a cat or Tay might beat you to it and get her one for Christmas."

"We are not getting one of those, I see how they weasel their way into being treated like actual babies." My brother shook his head. Then I heard a tap on the door and glanced over to see Taylor peeking through.

"Okay to come in?" She asked, and I nodded. Pushing the door open, she came over to take Benji. "Sorry, must not have closed the door properly huh baby?" Taylor crooned to her cat.

"As I said; baby." Jason commented, and I shook my head. "So Tay?"

"Hmm?" Taylor smiled at him.

"How's parenthood treating you guys?"

"Jason!" She giggled.

"Oh don't worry we'll edit it out." He told her. "I just haven't talked to you since you took Sky home from the hospital. How's she doing?"

"She's good." Taylor smiled at the mention of our newborn; Skylah Marjorie Kelce-Swift. We'd managed to keep Taylor's entire pregnancy a secret from the world, and by some miracle, no one had so much as suspected we'd had a baby. Taylor and I wanted to spend time with Sky and start to raise her in a world we could control, and we'd announch her birth when we were ready, maybe in a couple months. She was the most precious little newborn I'd ever seen, and it had been amazing getting to know my daughter.

"I swear she almost smiled at me the other day." I said.

"Travis she did not." Taylor rolled her eyes. "Anyway I'll let you guys get back to it before the little miss wakes up and gets fussy. Have fun." She waved before carrying Benji out and closing the door properly this time.

Five days later

"Oh hello my little angel." I crooned as I picked Skylah up out of her cot, smiling as I always did at her little newborn scrunch. God I'd miss that when she grew out of it. "Did you sleep well?" I murmured, cradling my daughter to my chest.

I stood there for a moment in the dim room, closing my eyes as I swayed gently from side to side. We'd been taking the time to really soak up the moments with our daughter, knowing she'd grow up in the blink of an eye. She was already so much bigger than when she was born, and I could practically feel the time slipping through my fingers.

Skylah made a little cooing noise and I looked down to see her bright blue eyes open, gazing at me. I smiled, pressing a kiss to her forehead as I rubbed her back. She wasn't the best baby at sleeping, but she made it all up with how adorable she was when she woke up from a nap. God she was just like Taylor.

"Travis!" Taylor hissed at me when I carried Skylah out into the living room.

"What?" I frowned at the panic on her face, the way she was gripping her phone like a vice.
