A/N PART TWO AS PROMISED

IM OBSESSED WITH THE SHATTER ME SERIES AND I JUST READ THE ENTIRETY OF DEFY ME IN AN HOUR AND I FEAR IT WAS THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ IN MY LIFETIME SO I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND IT (ITS AN ACC BOOK NOT A WATTPAD ONE BTW)

Travis' POV 

What.

The. 

Fuck.

"Seriously?" is all I can manage to muster. I've always wanted kids but never this soon. I should've expected it as I wasn't exactly responsible in college but they would have at least told me right?

I'm such an asshole.

I saw her that day in the grocery store and I didn't even recognise her. She hasn't said anything all this time but she knew. She knew from the beginning.

"what's it's name" I say rougly.

She gives me a weird look at me calling them it.

"Her name" she says before pausing. "Is Valentine Florence Swift"

Florence. 

I remember it now.

I remember everything now.

*FLASHBACK*

I'm sitting there in the bar and far too sober for a Friday night when I see her walk in.

Ocean eyes and long blonde hair that drops down to her waist. She's quite slim but no one can deny she's beautiful.

She looks around as if she's looking for someone when she sees me staring.

She smiles softly and I beckon her over.

"You looking for someone?" I ask her.

"No just checking there's no one who publicly hates me in here" she says far too casually.

"What's your name?" I ask her.

"Taylor." she says. "Taylor Swift"

"I'm Travis. I'm on the football team" I say.

"Oh I know" she says flashing me a knowing look. "Everyone knows who you are"

I pat my the seat next to me and she tentatively comes over.

I droop my arm around her shoulders and she seems to lean in to me.

Fuck she's hot.

"Are you doing anything next week?" she asks me. "My friend Abi's having an Independence Day party and it's going to be so fun"

"Sorry I'm not" I say although it pains me to reject her. "I'd love to go but I'm heading on a family holiday which will probably result in my parents screaming each other's heads off and me sneaking off early."

I hate the look of disappointment on her face but she still seems interested. "Where are you going?" she asks me.

"Italy."

Her eyes widen.

"I've always wanted to go there" she says quietly. "Where in Italy is it?"

"Florence "I say. "It's my favourite city"

"Cool"

I can almost see he tension in the air so I just say what's on my mind.

"You wanna come back to my house?"

"Sure"

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I wish I was there.

"So it's her birthday?" I ask.

She grins. "Yep"

I take a deep breath before beginning.

"I want to be there for her" her eyes widen. "And you"

"I want to grocery shop with you at 4am. I want to be there for birthdays and Christmases, doctor's appointments and school events. I want to be with you forever Taylor. No one else has ever been able to do the things you do to me. No one's ever been able to have my full love and respect and loyalty but you somehow have cracked it in a few months. I know this is out of the blue and I don't think either of us were expecting it but it is the day of love after all so Taylor Alisson Swift. Will you marry me?"

"Yes" she almost whispers before I scoop her up in my arms and kiss her. I don't even think this was about the baby. She's always been perfect for me I've just been too stupid to realise it until now.

"Careful we don't want to scare our daughter before she learned to walk"

Our daughter.
