Part 3 of only the young Part 2 of out the country Requested by: @Athena2083
The quiet seclusion of their Melbourne home was just what they needed. Far from the prying eyes of the world, Taylor and Travis could live in peace, shielded by the safety of their privacy. It had been months since they had returned to this retreat after their marriage, and now they were preparing for the most intimate moment of their lives: welcoming their first child.
Taylor had just finished a late-night recording session for her new album. This album, the most personal one she had ever created, would share the story of her recovery after the attack, her journey toward healing, and the joy of her marriage to Travis. But there was something more—something they had kept private for months. Taylor was five months pregnant.
Sitting on the couch, Taylor stared at her phone, fingers hovering over the screen as she prepared to share the news with the world. The album cover was a simple, intimate shot: Taylor's hand gently resting on her belly, a soft glow from the room's warm lighting highlighting her growing bump. The photo captured the happiness that had come from healing and growing together. With a deep breath, she hit "post."

Family & Friends Reactions (Group Chat):
Travis's phone buzzed as he sat beside Taylor, his arm wrapped around her, both of them looking at her phone. The moment was here. The world knew. Their family and friends had no idea about the pregnancy, and now they were all finding out at once.
Group Chat: "The Kelces & The Swifts" (Travis, Taylor, Jason, Kylie, Andrea, Ed, Scott, Donna, Austin)
Jason: "Hold up... is this real??"

As the messages flooded in, Taylor leaned into Travis's side, a soft smile playing on her lips. She had kept it hidden for months—her pregnancy, their joy—but now the world knew. And somehow, it felt like the most natural thing in the world.
"Everyone's freaking out," Travis chuckled, his hand resting on her belly. "But I'm glad we can finally share it."
Taylor nodded, resting her head on his shoulder. "It feels like the right time. We've been through so much, and this is the next chapter for us."
A Few Weeks Later:
The anticipation was building. The baby was due soon, and Taylor and Travis were both eager and nervous. The hospital room was calm but filled with the hum of nurses preparing for the arrival of their daughter. Taylor's hand gripped Travis's as contractions came in waves, the final hours of her pregnancy bringing them closer than ever.
"You're doing amazing, Tay," Travis whispered, his voice full of awe. "I'm so proud of you."
Taylor smiled through the pain. "I'm ready. Let's meet our little one."
And with that, their daughter was born. Her cries filled the room, and as Taylor looked at Travis, their eyes locked, a mixture of exhaustion, relief, and overwhelming joy. The love they felt in that moment was indescribable.
She was here. Their baby girl. The one they had kept to themselves for so long.
They named her Elizabeth Mae Kelce, but for now, the world wouldn't know. They weren't ready to share her name just yet. This moment, this precious first step in their journey as parents, was theirs alone to hold. The world could wait.
The first chapter of their new life as a family had begun, and they were ready to face it together.
