Mama bear

Travis has always been open about wanting kids, becoming a father and following in his big brother's footsteps.

Recently the baby talk has been more often than not, so I took it upon myself to get my IUD taken out. I meant to tell Travis, obviously. But when I got home we got carried away with other topics and I completely forgot about it.

Until now. Until right now when I'm staring down at the two positive pregnancy tests. I can't believe it. I'm actually pregnant with Travis's baby. It really didn't take very long for it to happen. Just a month, maybe two.

I wanted to tell Travis in a fun way, so I called the one person I trusted with this information.

"Hey Kylie." I say with a smile after opening the front door.

"Hey Tay, I was so happy when you called, haven't seen you in a while." Ky says, stepping into the house while shrugging off her jacket.

"So I need a little help with... something." I say as we walk over to the couch and get comfortable.

"Did Travis do something? Because I will beat a bitch up for you." She says very sternly.

"No but I do appreciate your support." I laugh.

"It's actually something kind of serious." I say and she drops her smile.

"Okay."

"So this morning I took two pregnancy tests, which were both positive. I know that Trav is gonna be happy about it but I need help planning how to announce it to him." As I'm talking I see the excitement glow onto her face.

"You're gonna be a mom Tay! Oh my gosh, I'm so happy for you guys." She leans forward and engulfs me in a tight hug.

"Okay okay, do you want it to be like a big thing or something small, maybe more intimate?" She asks, still beaming.

"Well I don't want I giant thing with a bunch of people. I want him to know first— well other than you. And I want to do it here at home. Just something low key." I say as she listens, nodding along with my words.

"You could always do the classic baby onesie in a basket on the bed." She says and I shake my head.

"I want to do something original."

"Not very fancy but what if you got one of those mama bear shirts and just waited to see when he realizes?" Kylie says after a while.

"Wait. I actually really like that. It feels very us." I say straightening up a bit.

"It is very you guys. Ugh Taylor I'm so excited for you guys. Trav is gonna be so happy. He's always wanted to be a dad." She leans her head back against the couch smiling.

"I know. I can't wait to see our family grow. And being able to be the person that makes him a father, oh gosh I can't even think of it or else I'll cry." I giggle, fanning my eyes with my hands in an attempt to clear the tears.

"You might as well embrace it Tay, there's gonna be a lot of crying within the next couple months." She laughs at me.

Later that evening Kylie went out and got me a shirt, just perfect for what we were planning. We both agreed that I shouldn't go out in public since everyone would automatically assume the shirt was for me and go ballistic. So in exchange I made us some lunch.

"Okay so I'm gonna tell Trav that you asked us to babysit. That's when I'm gonna wear the shirt. Then just wait till he notices?" I repeat, making sure I understand the plan.
