Marry, kiss or kill

Chapter 21

**Travis's POV**

We welcomed Taylor's parents and settled in for drinks. Taylor was deep in conversation with Scott, so I decided to ask Andrea if she could step aside with me for a couple of minutes. Of course, I wasn't planning on announcing her pregnancy for her or discussing the fact that she was pregnant—she prefers to wait until the third month because the doctor had told us that the risk of miscarriage was still too high before that.

"Yes, Travis, you can. You can ask my daughter to marry you."

"What—what? How did you know I was going to ask that?"

"Come on, Trav, you're always the excited one, looking for any chance to crack jokes. And from the beginning, I've seen you try to pull me or Scott aside, not to mention how you keep staring at her hand. So yes, Travis, you have my permission. You've had it since the first second I met you."

"Thank you, Andrea. I'm really grateful to have you as part of the family."

She stepped toward me to give me a hug, and I returned it.

"Uh, am I interrupting something? Mom, are you trying to steal my super-hot boyfriend?"

We pulled apart when we heard Taylor interrupting us.

Taylor walked over, cupped my face in her hands, and stood on tiptoe to reach my lips. I wrapped my arms around her waist. We heard Andrea pulling herself away from where we were standing to join Scott in the living room.

I placed my hands on her belly, which was starting to round out just a bit. Only someone who was used to touching it frequently could notice the difference.

Later in the evening, I found Scott to ask him the same thing, and he also gave his approval. Now it was up to me to plan the next steps and the proposal.

**Third Month of Pregnancy**

**Taylor's POV**

The nausea finally started to ease, and I was slowly starting to regain my appetite. Today, I have an appointment with the gynecologist for my first ultrasound, and if all goes well, we'll be able to determine the baby's due date. Most importantly, we'll be able to see our baby for the first time.

When we arrived at the clinic, Dr. Arizona Robbins greeted us.

"Are you excited to see your baby?"

"Oh, you have no idea how much Travis has been talking about it," I said, turning to look at him with an accusing smile.

"It's not my fault I'm just excited to see this baby be born," he replied.

We all laughed before Arizona turned the screen completely toward us and showed us what was currently growing inside me.

"Congratulations to both of you. You're definitely going to have a healthy, strong baby," she said.

She printed several copies of the ultrasound so I could surprise both our families and friends.

Once we were home, we sat on the couch.

"So, who do we tell first?"

"I know how close you and your parents are, so why not invite them over?" Travis suggested.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Tay, I'm sure."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

I decided to call Austin, Blake, Gigi, Abigail, Gracie, Sabrina, Selena, Lana, Jack, and Aaron first to share the news.
