new years day (a tayvis fanfiction)

this love is ours

taylor swift's pov

today is the day. the gender reveal. it's a little later than normal, but travis and i wanted to wait. i can't wait to know if this little munchkin is a boy or girl. we all know what gracie is hoping for.

travis helped me put up the decorations. blue and pink streamers were draped all over the house. i admired the colors and soaked up the last few moments of peace before there were hands all over my belly. i don't understand the obsession with touching a pregnant lady's belly. i allow travis because he was part of the process but that's it.

soon the house was completely decorated and gracie was anticipating the moment her cousins burst through the door.

my mom, dad, and austin walked through the door first. "hi honey!" my mom said then brought me into an uninvited hug. i was okay with it though, people love to hug me since im pregnant. doesn't make much sense to me.

"thank you guys for coming!" i smile. when gracie heard my moms voice she came running over. "nana!" she squealed and practically jumped into her arms. i love the bond they have, even if my mom wasn't completely for me getting pregnant with a man i barely knew.

many more people arrived and the house filled with laughter and people touching my belly. the little munchkin even threw in a few kicks here and there.

we played some games and did a poll on what everyone thinks the gender is. boy won by a long shot but i think they just want to give into travis' delusions.

it was getting closer to the real reveal and i was going crazy thinking about it. we're doing a really fun reveal for the kids.

we hid a ton of eggs and one has a piece of paper either blue or pink. the rest have candy though so no one feels left out.

"taylor, i'm so proud of you." blake sat down next to me and laid her head on my shoulder. "is it bad that im terrified what's going to happen once i have this baby?" i take her hand.

"no, i completely understand. two kids ago i was a nervous wreck. you are going to do so great. you're already an amazing mom and you have an equally as amazing man to help you." she smiles and gestured to travis who is playing with the kids on the grass.

"thank you. he truly is so amazing." my eyes get lost as im staring at him. what did i do to deserve him.

eventually it was time. my heart was racing. "is everyone ready?" i handed out a small basket to each kid. they all giggled in excitement, ready to bolt.

i was worried about gracie having difficulty grasping the concept of picking up eggs but she got it. i watched as she picked up an egg and looked at me for approval before dropping it in her basket.

i stood close to travis and took his hand as we watched the kids scramble for eggs. "i hope it's a boy." he chuckles. "i think everyone in the world knows you hope it's a boy. but i know you're a girl dad at heart, i've seen the smile on your face when you and gracie have tea parties." i tease him.

     eventually all the eggs were picked and it was time to crack them open and find out the gender. one by one, most eggs revealed candy.

     until wyatt cracked open a sparkly egg and found a small folded piece of paper. she was instructed to give it to me and i held it for a moment. everyone got their cameras out and travis took my hand.

       "one, two, three." i counted and then opened the small paper. "it's a girl!" i squealed. travis jumped up and spun me around. "and we all thought travis wanted a boy!" kylie said and laughed.

     two little girls. i can't believe it. "gracie you were right! you're going to have a little sister!" i picked her up and she giggled.

      later on everyone had left. travis cuddled up next to me on the couch while gracie sat in my lap. the whole night she kept touching my belly and saying "sister!" it was the cutest thing ever.

      everyone told me it was going to be hard with a toddler, that she would be jealous. but i don't think gracelyn is capable of being jealous. she has the biggest heart and is full of so much love. she gets it from travis.

     "gracie what should we name you're baby sister?" travis asked and rubbed her tiny head. "baby!" she laughed. travis looked at me with the biggest smile. "let's keep working on that one, okay?" he chuckled and gracie nodded.

     i admired my little family for a moment. i needed to soak up these moments before i had a screaming newborn who wakes up every hour of the night. thankfully everything is going well with this pregnancy so far.

       "mommy? how the baby get in your belly?" gracie asked and looked up at travis and i. my face went blank and travis and i locked eyes. "well when a mommy and daddy-" travis began saying but i cut him off before he could continue and traumatize our three year old.

      "travis. mommy ate a seed and then the seed started to grow a baby in my belly! and soon when the baby is all grown it will come out. just like baby aria, except she didn't grow all the way." i explained.

     "that is what you came up with?" travis whispered. "well it's better than whatever you were about to tell her!" i tease.

      we ended the night with a movie and popcorn. i can't wait till this munchkin is here.
