The months had flown by in a blur of doctor's appointments, baby kicks, and quiet conversations between Taylor and Abigail. Both women were deep into their pregnancies now, their bodies changing, and their excitement growing with each passing day. They'd spent hours daydreaming about their little ones, laughing about how their kids would grow up together, and speculating whether they'd have boys or girls.
Today was the day they'd finally find out.

**Doctor's Office – Ultrasound Day**
Taylor lay back on the table, her hand intertwined with Travis's, her heart thudding with anticipation. The cool gel spread across her rounded belly as the technician moved the wand, searching for the perfect angle. The faint sound of a heartbeat filled the room, steady and strong.
"Well," the technician said, smiling warmly at the couple, "are you ready to know the gender?"
Taylor squeezed Travis's hand, nodding eagerly. "Yes, please."
The technician shifted slightly, pointing to the monitor. "Congratulations. It's a girl!"
Taylor blinked, her breath catching in her throat. A girl. She glanced at Travis, whose eyes widened with a mixture of shock and joy. "A girl?" Travis whispered, his voice filled with awe. "We're having a daughter?"
Taylor's heart swelled as tears of happiness blurred her vision. She laughed, leaning into Travis's chest as he wrapped his arms around her. "We're having a little girl," she whispered, still trying to wrap her mind around it. Her eyes were locked on the screen, where their daughter's tiny form appeared. This little person growing inside her. Their daughter.
Travis kissed the top of her head. "She's going to be perfect. Just like you."
Taylor wiped at her eyes, laughing softly at the overwhelming emotions washing over her. But before she could respond, her phone buzzed in her bag, interrupting the moment. It was Abigail.

**Abigail's Ultrasound Room**
On the other side of town, Abigail and Ross were staring at their own ultrasound screen, where their baby's image flickered with life. The technician smiled, much like Taylor's had, and announced the news.
"A boy," Abigail said breathlessly as the words sank in. She turned to Ross, who was already grinning ear to ear. "We're having a boy!"
Abigail immediately texted Taylor, not knowing they were experiencing similar emotions at that exact moment.

**Later That Day – Taylor's Hotel Room**
The two best friends sat together, giddy with excitement as they shared the news. Taylor was still glowing from the ultrasound, her hand resting protectively over her bump as she leaned back on the couch.
"So, a boy for you and a girl for me," Taylor said, smiling. "I can't believe it."
Abigail grinned, her hand on her own belly. "It's like fate, isn't it? They're going to grow up together."
Taylor laughed softly. "They'll be best friends. Just like us."
The two women looked at each other, realizing how lucky they were to be going through this together, and how special their connection truly was. But for Taylor, the excitement was tinged with a bit of anxiety. The last leg of the *Eras Tour* was just around the corner, and her growing baby bump was becoming harder to hide.

**On Tour – Last Leg of the Eras Tour**
Taylor's team had been working tirelessly to adjust her wardrobe, making sure she could continue wearing her iconic bodysuits while disguising the growing bump beneath layers of strategically designed fabrics. For the past few weeks, she'd gotten away with it—fans hadn't noticed, and the press hadn't picked up on the signs. But as the tour's final shows loomed closer, Taylor knew it was getting riskier.
