And there Taylor stood again, in front of her mirror, deeming her outfit smart enough for court. It was simple, at least this time she wasn't working with a twin bump. A black, tight skirt, cutting off just above her knee, with a white blouse, she ditched a blazer, since it was warmer as it was approaching summer.

" you look beautiful baby " Travis assured Taylor, as she straightened her skirt out flat again, looking over herself in the mirror

She half heartedly smiled at him, thanking him and making sure he was fully ready to go – which he was. Anna was there for the kids, thankfully so they didn't have to worry about that. Making their way down the stairs, Taylor smiled at her babies, playing in the living room, Colette occupied with her dolls whilst the twins crawled aimlessly around, but they were happy and that's all that matters.

" ah ah knoxie, don't pull dibbles' tail please, she doesn't like it " Taylor quickly crouched down, pulling the baby's scrunched up fist free from Olivia's tail as she had unfortunately tried to befriend with the twins, but they haven't quite learnt how to gently interact with the 3 little cats yet. Benji doesn't really mind if they mess him up, but Taylor knows Olivia is less accommodating to being bothered like that, as it's no secret she's a very independent creature. Taylor thinks she's going to be more like Meredith soon, who you wouldn't even know existed unless for dinner time, where she can be quite helpful at hoovering up the boys mess from under their high chairs.

" mama " the 11 month old reached to her, a little upset that he'd been told off

" I've gotta go baby, you're staying with Anna " Taylor tells him, but her decline of his request only made him more annoyed

Taylor sighed, bidding goodbye to Noah and Colette also, before leaving the house. It wasn't an overly long drive so they were there pretty quickly. Of course, paparazzi were camped up waiting to watch her enter the court, but she really didn't want to expose herself right now, so she did what she knew best, as they hid under some umbrellas, just to shield them from the cameras until they got inside. Yet again, her parents were there and they soon took their seats accordingly. Taylor couldn't even look at Joe, she hadn't seen him since the last time they were in this room, and it was almost ridiculous to believe that they were back here again just over a year later. Travis offered Taylor a hand on her thigh, wanting to reassure her and let her know he was there. As the judge started talking, Taylor felt uneasy; sick to her stomach, like she could throw up at any given moment.

" t-trav, I'm gonna throw up " Taylor quietly whispered to him, barely above a mumble as she felt like she couldn't open her mouth wide without her breakfast reappearing

" are you sure baby? it's probably just nerves or something " he muttered back, squeezing her thigh gently

" no, I'm being serious, please, I don't wanna throw up here- " she could barely finish her sentence before she had to dash out the door, into the closest restroom, her stomach churning as she emptied the contents of it. She was so embarrassed, she had no idea if she was allowed to do that, but quite honestly, she lacked the choice. Travis wasn't far behind her, rubbing her back and handing her some tissue to wipe the excess off of her face.

" are you okay sweetie? " he questioned as her vomiting session was over, she did look pale, but it was just most likely nerves
