Tayvis one-shots (3)

Family Dinner Drama (requested)

Taylor and Travis had been looking forward to this evening for weeks. It was a special night, one that brought together their families for a rare dinner outing. Taylor's parents, Scott and Andrea, were in town, and Travis's parents, Donna and Ed, had flown in from Ohio. They had chosen an elegant, upscale restaurant in downtown Los Angeles, known for its privacy and exceptional cuisine.

The couple arrived at the restaurant a bit early, eager to greet their families and ensure everything was perfect. As they entered the restaurant, they were welcomed by the soft glow of candlelight and the gentle hum of conversation. Taylor, wearing a simple yet stunning black dress, and Travis, in a tailored suit, were the picture of sophistication and happiness.

"Hey, beautiful," Travis whispered to Taylor, squeezing her hand. "Ready for this?"

Taylor smiled, her eyes sparkling. "Absolutely. I'm so excited to see everyone together."

Shortly after, their families arrived, greeting each other with warm hugs and handshakes. The hostess led them to a private dining room, where they settled into their seats around a large, beautifully set table.

Dinner began with laughter and stories, as the two families bonded over shared experiences and their love for Taylor and Travis. The waiter brought out exquisite dishes, each one more delicious than the last, and the conversation flowed easily.

Halfway through the meal, Scott raised his glass. "To Taylor and Travis," he said, his voice filled with pride. "You've brought us all together tonight, and we couldn't be happier for you both."

"To Taylor and Travis," everyone echoed, clinking their glasses.

As the evening progressed, Taylor felt a sense of contentment wash over her. She glanced at Travis, who was deep in conversation with her father, and felt a surge of love for him. This was her family, her support system, and she couldn't have been more grateful.

After dessert, they all decided to take a short walk outside to enjoy the cool night air before parting ways. However, as they exited the restaurant, they were met with a swarm of paparazzi. The flashbulbs exploded in a frenzy, and the photographers began shouting questions and comments, many of them directed at Taylor.

"Taylor, is it true you're planning to retire soon?"

"Taylor, how do you feel about the latest rumors about your relationship?"

"Taylor, you look like you've gained weight. Care to comment?"

Taylor's smile faltered as the harsh words cut through her. She tried to ignore them, focusing on her family and Travis, but the comments stung. Travis immediately noticed the change in her demeanor and wrapped a protective arm around her.

"Hey, back off!" Travis shouted at the paparazzi, his voice firm and commanding. "Leave her alone."

Donna Kelce stepped forward, her expression fierce. "Have some respect! This is a family dinner. Give us some space."

Andrea Swift, always the supportive mother, moved closer to Taylor, offering her a reassuring smile. "Ignore them, sweetheart. They're just trying to get a reaction."

Scott and Ed also positioned themselves protectively around their children, creating a barrier between the paparazzi and Taylor.

Despite their best efforts, the photographers continued their barrage of questions and comments. Taylor felt her anxiety rising, but she drew strength from the love and support of her family.

"Let's get out of here," Travis said, guiding Taylor towards their car. "We don't need to put up with this."

As they made their way through the crowd, Taylor felt a hand slip into hers. She looked up to see Travis's determined expression, his love and protectiveness evident in every step he took.

Once they were safely in the car, the noise of the paparazzi faded into the background. Taylor took a deep breath, trying to steady her racing heart.

"I'm so sorry, Tay," Travis said, his voice filled with regret. "I should have anticipated this."

Taylor shook her head, squeezing his hand. "It's not your fault, Trav. It's just... it's hard sometimes. But thank you for being there for me."

"We're always here for you," Donna said from the back seat, her tone gentle yet firm. "You have a whole team supporting you, never forget that."

Scott nodded in agreement. "We've got your back, Taylor. No matter what."

As they drove away from the chaos, Taylor felt a sense of relief wash over her. She was surrounded by people who loved and protected her, and that was all that mattered.

Later that night, after they had all returned to Taylor's house for a nightcap, the atmosphere was much more relaxed. They sat in the living room, sharing stories and laughter once again.

"Remember," Andrea said, her voice soothing, "you don't have to face this alone. We're all here to support you."

Taylor smiled, feeling a renewed sense of strength. "Thank you, everyone. It means the world to me."

Travis pulled her close, kissing her forehead. "I love you, Taylor. We're in this together, no matter what."

"I love you too, Trav," she whispered, feeling the weight of the evening lift from her shoulders.

As the night drew to a close, Taylor realized that no matter how difficult things might get, she had a family who would stand by her side through it all. And with Travis by her side, she knew she could face anything that came their way.
