new years day (a tayvis fanfiction)

welcome to new york

taylor swift's pov

      i was awoken by a sudden puddle underneath me. shit. "travis get up i think my water just broke!" i shook him until he got up in a panic.

     "are you positive?" he asked. "yes i'm fucking positive!" i say in a snappy tone. i grabbed my phone and called my mom to come over and watch gracie.

     when she arrived i thanked her and travis and i loaded up in the car. the contractions started to kick in and i felt like i was dying. of course the apartment is 30 minutes away from the hospital.

     i screamed and held my stomach as each contraction felt like i was being stabbed. "almost there, you're going to be okay." travis assured me but i didn't believe him.

      eventually we made it to the hospital, travis parked the car and came back with a nurse and a wheelchair. she pushed me inside and immediately brought us back into the maternity wing. i was then handed a gown and travis helped me because i was in too much pain.

      soon our usual doctor that delivered gracie and aria came in. "hey taylor! this is so exciting." she said and sat down in a rolling chair. i nodded even though i was in pain. travis held my hand tightly and told me to squeeze as hard as i could whenever a contraction was coming on.

     the doctor asked me the same questions as every time before. she also did a quick ultrasound so see what position the munchkin was in. thankfully she was facing headfirst so that would be easy.

     gracie decided to come out feet first, that was not a pleasant feeling.

     i was given an epidural and they started to dilate me. my heart was racing and all i was thinking was i wanted this to go well. travis must've noticed me panicking and took my hand. "tay, it's okay." he rubbed my hand in an attempt to calm me down. "i can't do this." i squeezed his hand as i felt a sharp pain.

"yes you can taylor. i'm going to go get you some mac and cheese, hang tight." he placed a kiss on my forehead before leaving for the cafeteria. his words made me feel safe. i calmed down for a moment before i was hit with another pain in my lower abdomen.

     i waited impatiently for travis to return with my food. food was the only thing that could make me happy in this moment. i had been through this twice already, yet it feels so brand new each time. my first two pregnancies both had many complications. i hope this one runs smoothly.

      travis came in with my food and sat on the edge of the hospital bed. "how are you feeling?" he asked and put a hand on my belly. "to be honest, i feel like absolute shit. but i hope it's all worth it once she's here." i placed my hand on top of his.

     a few hours had passed and i took a nap to hopefully speed of the dilation process. when i woke up the doctors alerted me i would need to start pushing soon. my stomach filled with butterflies, i knew the pain would be unbearable, but soon i would get to see my little girl.

     my contractions inched closer together and i knew it was time. the doctors piled in the small room and helped me prepare.

      i grabbed travis's hand tightly and pushed the first time. i screamed so loud it echoed around the room. "come on tay, you got this." travis encouraged me even though i was squeezing him tight enough to break his hand.

      a few more push's and her head was visible. "she's got a ton of hair!" the nurse laughed. i felt like laughing in the moment but all i could do was scream in pain.

     swear dripped down my face as i breathed heavily. one more push and i heard the cry of my sweet baby. i looked over to travis and saw the biggest smile on his face. "you did it tay." he kissed my hand. "we did it." i smiled back.

     the nurse handed me my baby girl. she was so slimy and gross but i didn't care. she was so beautiful. she had a head full of dark curly hair.

     "trav, she looks just like you." i laughed. gracie looked exactly like me, but this little one looks just like her dad.

     after a bit of cuddle time, the nurse took her to get cleaned up. in the meantime, they handed us the birth certificate. we had come up with a name a few months ago.

     we both completely fell in love with the name madelyn brooke. after we looked at our little gir, we knew it was perfect. i wrote the name down and checked for any spelling mishaps like five times.

    soon the doctor came back with our clean little baby. "have you decided on a name?" she asked and handed her to me. "yes, hi madelyn." i said and handed her the birth certificate.

      she blinked her tiny eyes open and revealed her gorgeous green eyes. "travis she even has your eyes." i giggled. "she's perfect." he admired her. he has such a special connection with children, part of the reason why i fell in love with him.

     i handed madelyn to travis and his face lit up. "hi pretty girl." he stroked her tiny head. i admired him and smiled. i'm so glad i met this man.

     "what are you smiling at?" he looked up and asked me. "just you." my face turned pink. "i love you so much." he leaned over and placed a kiss on my lips.
