" thank you for an amazing night, Vienna!! " Taylor called out to the crowd, finishing up in her second to last city before the tour ended.

As much as Taylor hated the moment she waved goodbye to the fans after a show, tonight, she felt like she couldn't get down quick enough. It was an exciting night – test day. A little over 3 weeks ago, she'd taken a test, after she and travis had mutually decided to start trying for another baby and unfortunately it came back negative. However, she wasn't entirely shocked at this, considering it had only been a few weeks. But for some reason today, she felt different, like maybe it was going to be positive, miraculous of course, she couldn't expect to be pregnant by the second try, but she really wanted to be, it just felt right.  Unfortunately though, Travis was not here and neither were the kids, he was back in Kansas city for training camp and the kids were at the hotel with Anna, their nanny. So she was truly doing this alone, but selfishly, she just couldn't wait till she was with Travis.

Without barely even taking a break, she got changed, packed up her things and hopped into the car ready to get driven back to the hotel. She knew all 3 children would be fast asleep by now and sure enough they were. Anna filled the her in on what they'd gotten up to that evening, and how much dinner they ate, so on and so forth and Taylor thanked her kindly, before the young babysitter headed back to her own hotel room, to get some rest before she was most likely needed for tomorrow. Finally alone, Taylor situated herself in the hotel bathroom, taking two different kinds of test, and waiting. She thought about if she was pregnant, what gender she might like this time, of course, she didn't really mind, but you always had a preference. She'd experienced both a girl and boys, so really either way it didn't matter too much, but she sort of wanted another little girl, it would complete their family perfectly and she would love for the boys to have a little sister who they could always protect. Taylor thought about Travis, how he'd also probably want another little girl, another little princess for him to gush over and spoil.

Interrupting her train of thought, her alarm rang, indicating it was time. Taylor held her breath, grabbing both tests in her hand, flipping them and gasping, tears pricking her eyes. Pregnant 2-3 weeks. Glared back at her. She brought her free hand up to her mouth, cupping it in shock. She knew she had the feeling, but it didn't stop the realisation of those two lines actually being visible, the excitement but yet also the worry. In that moment, between happy tears and small joyful sobs, she knew she had to surprise travis. He was heading to London in a couple of the days to meet her at the same time, joining her on her last few shows of this tour, so that's when she had to do it. She wasn't sure how or exactly when, but this was indefinitely their last baby and so she wanted to make it as special as she could.

The butterflies had settled deep into her stomach, she was so apprehensive to tell him, but yet so so incredibly psyched to tell him. Travis' flight had just landed a mere 10 minutes ago and Taylor was at home with all of the kids, nervously waiting for the moment he walked through the door. She started to question if maybe she had gone a little overboard for this announcement to him, but like she thought before, this was their last baby, her last but also first opportunity to do something like this, with the twins, it came as such a shock that she had to discuss it with him to make sure he wanted it, but now, now she was sure that he was going to be nothing but happy.

The whole completely over the top plan was that Taylor had actually hired a photographer and she'd told Travis they were taking "family photos", which he didn't really batter an eyelid to, since he knew Taylor had wanted some updated ones for the house anyway – the last time they got some, the twins were just newborns. She would let it run routinely to start with, before towards the end suggesting the kids to wear new shirts which would have "big sister" on for Colette, since she was the big sister but then "big brother" on for the twins which would then hopefully, depending on how observant Travis is, make the penny drop for him before she pulled out a baby grow that she had made with "baby kelce no.4". Maybe OTT? But having the photographer there meant they could capture adorable pictures of his reaction as well.
