Taylor really wanted us to support Travis at his first game this season. She thought it would be a bonding family experience for all of us. Theo and Maisie were super excited, dancing around the house until past their bedtime, choosing their outfits days in advance. And now the day has arrived.
I woke up to Maisie jumping on my bed, yelling at me to get up and ready for the game. Taylor was standing against the door with a cup of coffee in her hand, smiling at Maisie and I. I wondered where Theo was, until he came in and hugged Taylor's leg. She ruffled his hair, making him smile.
"Okay fine, I'll get up." I tickled Maisie's stomach to hear cute little giggles erupt from her.
"Stop please!" She laughed as I stopped and followed them downstairs. Taylor made us pancakes for breakfast, reminding me of our first morning here where she did the same thing. I had been getting slightly better with my food recently, being able to stomach meals more. It was just taking the first bite and trying to get over the guilt of eating afterwards. I really struggled with the guilt, which taylor had promised it'll get easier and I trust her. After managing to eat two pancakes, I headed up to get changed. I put on a white pleated skirt and a chiefs jersey, which Travis had got the three of us our own customaed jerseys.
I walked downstairs to see Maisie in a similar outfit to me, she had her denim shorts and her own jersey on. She was in Taylor's arms, babbling away about wanting to start football lessons. Theo came down the stairs in a full chiefs kit, with the cap and all. He honestly looked like a mini Travis. Taylor grabbed her chiefs sweatshirt, making us all pose for a family photo. Before leading us all out the door and into the car.
She helped the younger two into the back and then sat beside me, checking her phone to make sure we would be there in time. I glanced out the window as we drove past new places we'd never seen before, heading to the stadium. Theo and Maisie were singing to the radio in the back and Taylor was just watching the world go by.
Over the past few days, it had been really busy with school, friends and the younger two. Who had started a range of activities at school, and I realised Taylor and I hadn't actually spoken one on one in a while. I put my head on her shoulder, happy that she was next to me. She kissed the top of my head in response, resting her cheek on my head. Knowing neither of us had to say anything to know that we're loved by each other.

We arrived and the paparazzi were wild, I had flashbacks to them grabbing my arm. My stomach sank, knowing I'll have to walk past them again. I felt sick at the thought as I started to panic.
"Tay," I whispered, "I can't do it."
"You can," she smiled, "Travis is meeting us at the car, you'll stay in between us."
Taylor had already predicted this and thought out a plan to help me overcome my fears, she truly was the best person I've ever known. I smiled at her, squeezing her hand.
"Thank you."
Like Taylor had mentioned, Travis opened the door to the car and picked Theo up first, he held his hand out for me helping me out of the car. He kept me close to him as he held his hand out for Taylor. She picked Maisie up, before putting a hand on my back, guiding me beside Travis.
We made it inside and Travis squeezed my hand as he set Theo down.
"All good?"
I nodded, "thanks Travy."
He smiled and said his goodbyes before heading towards his locker room. We made our way upstairs to the vip lounge, where Taylor found loads of her friends and Travis' family. His parents came over to meet us first, wanting to know their grandchildren. They fully accepted us into their family without questions, Maisie and Theo were glad for all the attention they were receiving as Taylor stood by me with her arms wrapped around me, resting her chin on my shoulder.
"You okay?" She whispered as I nodded to her. It was overwhelming but knowing all of these people just want to know and love us was heartwarming. She kissed my cheek before going to greet her extended family. I felt someone cling to my leg, thinking it was Maisie. I looked down and spotted another little blonde girl.
"Hello, what's your name?" I crouched down to her.
"Wyatt," she replied shyly, "are you my big cousin?"
Those words filled my heart with so much joy, I had heard Travis discussing his nieces last night about how he was excited for us to meet them, "I am indeed." I smiled at her, giving her a hug.
"Who are they?" She asked pointing to Theo and Maisie. Somehow Maisie was in Taylor's arms, looking sleepy while Theo was talking to Donna.
"My siblings," I smiled at her gently, "that's Maisie and Theo."
"Can I say hi?"
"Of course you can, do you want me to introduce you?" She nodded as I took her over to Maisie first, I knew they'd be about the same age.
Taylor turned around to see me with Wyatt, setting Maisie down to greet her cousin. Maisie put up a little protest, until I got her attention.
"Mais, this is Wyatt. Our cousin," I smiled, "she's the same age as you."
Maisie became so shy, holding her hands out for me to lift her. I took one of them bringing her closer, hearing a muffled hi come from her. Wyatt returned the gesture as they started discussing Bluey. I left them to it, finding a place beside Taylor. I sat beside her, feeling her wrap an arm around me.
"This is Havyn," she spoke to her friend, Brittany.
"Oh my god, Tay, she's your double!" Brittany had a shocked expression on her face, "hey Havyn! So good to finally meet you."
I smiled, "hi."
Taylor had obviously been talking about us to her friends, without telling us about them. I had no idea who this girl was but she seemed okay. I stayed with Taylor, glancing at the little two every now and then.

The game started and Maisie found her way to my lap as Theo sat beside me. Taylor's arm extended around both Theo and I, allowing me to hold Maisie closely.
"I wanna do that." Maisie pointed at the men running on the field.
"Do you?" I was trying not to laugh, she was so little compared to any one of them on that pitch.
She nodded, "Travy says I can catch the ball really well so I think I'd be good at it."
"You can be anything you want to, Maisie." I smiled at her, wanting to encourage her into sports.
She tapped Taylor's arm, who greeted her with a big smile.
"Hey Maisie Moo!"
"I'm hungry." She whined, making grabby hands towards Taylor who picked her up off me.
"We can get food if you'd like?" Taylor suggested, "anyone else hungry?"
I shook my head but Theo agreed with Maisie, I looked at Taylor. She seemed to want to stay and watch the match but wasn't going to say no to them either.
"Why don't I go and get them something? You can stay and watch Travis." I offered to her.
"Are you sure?" She thought for a moment, her face concerned.
"Yeah the food carts just over there." I smiled, reassuring her that I was okay.
"Okay call me if you need anything." Her worried expression loosened slightly as I stood up and walked over to the food cart at the back.
I ordered some chips for the little two and Taylor incase she was hungry as well. Before standing and waiting for it to be ready. I lent against the wall, waiting to hear my number being called out. Watching my siblings and Taylor as they pointed towards Travis on the field. I was glad they were happy, we were all in a good place for the moment and I hoped it stayed like this for a while.
That's when I felt someone grab my shoulder.
