Travis' POV

"Peekaaaaa....boo!" Taylor giggled, dropping the baby blankets she'd been holding in front of her face. Elsie - Jason and Kylie's new three month old fourth daughter - burst into giggles at her aunt's antics, and Taylor started giggling as well.

I could hardly look away from the pair as I stood in the kitchen, making dinner. Taylor had been elated when Jason and Kylie had asked us to watch Elsie for the evening, and she'd been doting on her for hours. It was so incredible watching her with a baby, knowing soon we might have one of our own. She would be such a good mother.

Taylor continued playing peekaboo endlessly with Elsie as I finished dinner, not getting bored for a second even though it was the same thing over and over again. When I was finished and had assembled some plates and a bottle for Elsie, I paused at the kitchen counter and looked over at the pair again. Elsie was in her little baby rocker, waving her hands at her aunt as Taylor played with her, cross legged on the floor, smiling just as widely. 

"Dinner's ready girls." I told them, and Taylor smiled up at me.

"You hear that Elsie baby?" She crooned, picking up the little baby and cradling her close. "Say thank you Uncle Travis, he's made us all a yummy dinner!" Taylor nuzzled their noses together as she carried Elsie over and I smiled fondly. "Does Uncle Travis want some baby time?" She asked.

"He does." I admitted, and Taylor passed Elsie over into my arms. We sat at the table, Taylor across from me, and I sat feeding Elsie and occasionally taking a bite from my plate. She wouldn't stop chattering to Elsie as she ate, to me, talking away adorably. I split my attention between the baby in my arms and my fiancé sitting across from me, making sure Elsie wasn't drinking too fast. 

Once she was finished, I rested her up against my shoulder and gently rubbed her back as I finished my dinner. Taylor did the dishes so I could hang out with Elsie for a bit, and then she came to join us in the living room. She sat down next to me, smiling fondly at our youngest niece. There was so much love in her eyes, so much adoration, maternal softness. 

I put an arm around her shoulders as Taylor leaned forwards, helping Elsie grasp onto one of her toys. She spared me a little glance and gave me that smile only reserved for me, making my heart flutter. I smiled back, knowing that if I kissed her, I wouldn't stop. 

"Hey!" I heard Kylie call down from the front door not too long later, accompanied by her knock. She knew it was fine to come in, and I looked around a moment later to see my sister in law coming down the front hallway.

"Hey." I smiled. "Did you have a nice time with the girls?" They'd spent some time with their older three daughters after being so busy with a newborn, making sure they still made all their girls special. 

"It was great." Kylie sighed, dropping onto the couch beside where we sat on the floor. "Jason's putting them to bed now. How has she been?"

"Perfect little angel." Taylor told her. "It was so amazing to have her Ky, she's so precious."

"God isn't she?" Kylie smiled adoringly at her daughter. "I swear I could keep having baby after baby if I didn't want to have a nice elderly couple life with Jason one day." We laughed at her, and she shook her head. "Last one, I swear." Kylie wiggled her fingers at Elsie. 

She stayed for short while before taking Elsie home, thanking us for looking after her. Taylor peppered kisses on our niece as she left, flushing and waving as Kylie drove away. When she closed the door and turned around to face me, she sighed happily and leaned back against it.

"I love babies." She whispered. 

"I know you do." I smiled, reaching out and tucking some hair behind her ear. "You're going to be such a good mom baby girl."
