"Y/N? Baby, are you listening?" Taylor asked as she placed her hand on your knee.

You snapped out of your thoughts and finished chewing on your lip nervously.

"What?"

"So... that's a no, I guess." She joked before reaching a red light. "I was asking if you were hungry at all?"

"A little." You quietly replied. "I don't know if I can eat much though. Not with how much I'm overthinking and how worried I feel."

She looked around before pulling the car into a random empty parking lot and putting it in park.

She looked over at you before taking your hand into hers.

"I know you're very anxious, darling. Talk to me."

You bit your lip again and looked down at your bump.

"The baby is coming in just a couple of weeks and she's breech, Tay. I was already feeling anxious about everything but now I'm just not sure if I can do it. I'm so afraid."

Taylor squeezed your hand as you looked at the floorboard of the car.

Last week, when you and Taylor went to an appointment that you had for a simple checkup, you found out that the baby might be breech.

But your most recent appointment just confirmed it.

It was official now and you were terrified at the thought of what could go wrong and you just couldn't stop worrying about it all.

"I'm anxious about it too. God, I'm so anxious. But you heard what the doctor said - as long as you're in a hospital that can provide you with specialized care, then you most likely won't need a cesarian section."

The thought alone of that made you insanely uncomfortable.

You dreaded the thought of it.

"I know. But I'm still anxious. She's coming feet first, the doctor confirmed. Feet first, Tay. That's so scary."

"It's going to be okay, darling," She assured. "I promise you, I'm going to be right there with you every step of the way, no matter what."

You looked at her and cracked a smile over her soft and comforting words.

"I know this is scary and we went into this certain that everything would be fine the entirety of your pregnancy until the very last part of it. But just think about it this way - it could be worse and it isn't. We're still having a healthy little girl. That's all that truly matters, right? And she's coming soon too."

"I know, I'm so excited." You chuckled through your tears.

"Me too! We're having a beautiful little girl together just as we've always dreamt of. Whether she's born naturally or by c-section, whether she's head first or feet first, our daughter is going to be just fine. We'll get through it all together and we're going to be so in love when she's in our arms."

"I hope so." You sniffled. "It's just so scary."

"I know. As I said, I'm anxious about it too. But I also told you that I'm going to be here for you every step of the way. I promised you that from day one and I still mean it. Whatever we have to or choose to do, we'll do it together and I'm going to be right there by your side through it all."

You leaned in and gave her a sweet kiss before she gently wiped your damp cheek and then placed her hand on your bump.

"Just a couple more weeks."

"Unless she decided to come earlier. I'm thirty-seven weeks along now. It could be any time now. I am full term."

"I wouldn't complain."

"Me neither." You confessed before you both grinned and shared another kiss.

"Come on, let's get some food and head home and then we can look into somewhere that'll give us more specialized care so you can bring our baby into the world as comfortably as possible."

"We love you so much."

"Not as much as I love you both." She smiled brightly and kissed you again before leaning down to kiss your bump.

Although things were different than what you and Taylor hoped and planned for, all that truly matters is that you'll have her by your side through everything, and that'll never change.
