" Tay, are you near enough ready to go? " Travis called out to Taylor

Except Taylor didn't hear him, her ears were ringing with 9 month old baby screams as she cursed under her breath. It was Easter today and the family were off to Jason and Kylie's for the day, staying in a house nearby that they were renting out. It had been a manic morning with the excitement of the Easter bunny arriving, Colette already eating far more chocolate than Taylor would allow as she had conveniently asked Travis if it was okay for her to open her candy, knowing full well he was going to say yes; not having experience of a 5 year old on a sugar rush before. So he'd already got slightly under Taylor's skin with that careless attitude as well as how he'd left his coffee mug stranded for Taylor to pick up, and his pyjama pants left on the bathroom floor from when he showered, not to mention the boys bottles left aimlessly in their travel cribs and them not even being changed when Taylor came down after getting ready. Safe to say, Travis had pissed Taylor off that morning, she just wished he was a bit more hands on. Whilst she was here getting two 9 months olds dressed with a 5 year old and getting herself ready, he had the absolute easiest job of getting the bags for the day in the car along with the stroller.

" well I would be, if you actually had your head screwed on and helped me " Taylor snapped at Travis, he furrowed his eyebrows, closing the door wondering why Taylor was in a bad mood as he headed up the stairs

Noah was in the middle of their bed, crawling about everywhere, pacifier gripped between his teeth as he was whining for his mommy whom was pre occupied getting Knox dressed into his Easter outfit who was also whining.

" Colette, absolutely not, put that egg down " Taylor scolded, as Colette reached for what could've been at least her 15th mini Easter egg of the day and it wasn't even 10am.

" what do you want me to do babe? " Travis stepped in, lifting Noah into his arms

" just get these two in the car, I've done the rest " she signalled toward Colette and Noah, as Travis sighed, doing as he was told

" coco girly, come on let's get in the car " Travis took her hand as he guided them down to get in the car

Taylor finished up with Knox, placing him on her hip and slipping some shoes on, frustratedly getting them both in the car. The drive was pretty silent, apart from Colette asking how far it was and if they were there yet. It was only a 25 minute drive. Travis decided to bite the bullet and place his hand on Taylor's thigh, but she quickly pushed it off. When she was mad at him the last thing she wanted was for him to touch her.

" what's the problem Taylor? " Travis questioned, eyes still on the road as he avoided the eye contact

" you. You're the problem, it's like I've got 4 children " Taylor clapped back at him

" huh? What did I even do? " he was confused

" there. there's your answer. That's the problem, you don't do a whole lot Travis " Travis was even more puzzled as he looked at Taylor as if to ask for an explanation " you want a list? Let Colette eat 5000g of sugar before breakfast, Coffee mug left for me to move, pyjamas left on the bathroom floor, boys bottles going funny because you didn't empty them. And then, you take the easy job leaving me with the runt of getting all 3 of the kids and myself ready " Taylor rambled letting her anger out leaving Travis gulping, admittedly he was guilty.
