Everyday

~ january 2024 ~

Brittany POV
With the new year now in progress, things are starting to get a lot more hectic. Charlie is back at school now and Trevor is back at work. New Years celebrations are over and we are back to normal everyday routines. We are about to get out for a bit, do a quick grocery shop before we are meeting Victoria and her son Luke at a cafe downtown. Pey and luke are really close so they will keel themselves entertained and it will also give vic and i a good chance to catch up.

Over Christmas, Trev proposed to me again and we should be getting married again after the new baby comes in April which I'm really excited about. We are also taking a baby moon" holiday to Australia in about two weeks so we are preparing for that too.

Trevor POV
"Hello?"
"Yes, hi my name is John Accabell from 'Shuffle & Step Studio' in London, England"

Oh shit. This is serious.

"I am calling you to ask about a new opportunity for yourself. I have recently watched all 6 seasons of your show The Next Step as well as a couple of online performances in recent competitions you have been part of. I have seen your talent and your technique. You are working at home at the current time, is that correct?"

"Uh, yes sir I am"

"Perfect. Well I am now, upon the request of myself as well as the staff and student here at Shuffle and Step, offering you a position as co-owner of our studio. We think you have the capability and organisation Trevor and we would be delighted if you would accept our request" he said and I gulped

"Uh, wow thank you so much John. I really appreciate it. I will get back to you as soon as possible"

"No problem. I'm sure you and your wife will make the perfect team"

"Woahhh- wait...my wife? You offered her a position too"

"Well uh, yes. I did say co owner sir..."

"You do know my wife is pregnant John. She's on maternity leave at the end of this month"

"Yes. Yes of course. That's why this position is only commencing at the end of August. That is- if you're up for it Mr Tordjman. I'll be calling Brittany later today to let her know"

"Okay. Yes well as I said sir, I'll make sure I contact you as soon as possible"

"Thank you very much. Looking forward to it"

"Okay, talk soon John. Bye"

"Bye"

I have no idea how I'm going to bring this up with Brittany. Or how she is going to respond. All I know now is, I'm really nervous.

Britt POV
"I can't believe you actually had to chase her around the entire beach!!"
"I know! She was just sitting there eating sand way up from where we were sitting. I had no choice. She kept running away from me. She wanted more Brittany!" she tells me and I can't stop laughing.
"Kids...I tell you now" I laugh
"Speaking of which... how are you holding up?"
"Yeah yeah, good. I've got about 3 months left"
"That's amazing. I can't believe you're on your 3rd Britt. I mean I can't even balance 1"
"You thinking of trying for another one?" I ask, sipping my Diet Coke. She nods.
"Isaac is desperate. He wants at least a 2nd. Luke keeps him entertained though but I think we can both agree that we want a girl. One of each would be nice I guess" she says and I nod
"This is a girl right?" She says rocking my stomach. I smile.
"Yeah. I accidentally let it slip to Trev one night. He wasn't too happy..." I say and she laughs
"Yeah that sounds like something B-Ray would do"
"Even when you guys got engaged it wasn't long before I got alerted" she giggles and I nod, laughing with her
"Exactly! It's not like something I would do out of the ordinary. He proposed to me again actually. On Christmas Day. It wasn't my main present though so I didn't really bother telling many people but yeah, we're off to Australia for a baby-moon at the end of this month, back in time for my birthday"
"That's exciting! It'll be fun getting remarried again too. Am I invited?" She asks me quietly. I laugh.
"Of course! I was going to ask of you could be my bridesmaid...again actually?" I ask her and she nods furiously
"Yes! Yes yes yes definitely Britt" she says and I laugh
"Great!! Anyways I better get going, go pick Charlie up from school..." I say standing up
"Pey! Come on buddy lets go get Charlie!!" I say and his face lights up as Beatles my hand and we start walking
"Bye Aunty Vic! He says and runs up to give her a hug
"Bye Peyton. Luke say goodbye" he waves at the two of us, being a little younger than pey.
"Bye beautiful. It was so lovely seeing you again" I say to vic, giving her a tight hug.
"We'll have to catch up with the boys as well once you come back from Aussie" she suggests and I nod
"Sort our some wedding plans too" she smiles and hugs me again before we part ways.

We arrive home, greeting Trevor at the door. Charlie slams her school bag down and I start getting some afternoon tea ready.
"Heyyyyy how's my amazing wife going?" Trev sneaks up behind me and hugs my waist kissing my neck in the process. I smile
"Plus 1" he adds and I giggle
"We're going great. How are you?" I ask turning around and giving him a long kiss
"Good, yeah. Longgggg day"

**
"Caught up with vic and luke today" i tell him.
"Oh yeah. How is she?" He asks me as I turn the main light off next to our bed and turn my bedside one on instead.
"She's doing well. Told me all about the time she chased luke down the beach as he was eating sand" I chuckle and Trevor laughs with me
"Oh god. That's got to be a Lupien gene"
"He did the same?" Trevor nods and I laugh
"How is he?"
"Yeah he's good. Over in Vancouver for the week on a dance camp"
"Nice" he says and he looks down.
"You okay?" I ask and he sighs
"This was going to come up but I better off tell you now then never."
"What's going on?" I ask now quite concerned
"Did you get a call from a man named John Accabell today?" He asks me curiously
"Uh, no. I didn't why?"
"Damn, he must be calling you tomorrow then"
"Trevor.."
"No no no. It's fine. He just called and offered me a job"
"Oh. Oh my god that's awesome!!"
"Yeah. It was a request for the position of studio head of Shuffle & Step"
"Oh!! I've heard of that before. Ahhh where's it from. I swear it's somewhere I know...it's supposed to be really good and close to where we live--" I say but am stopped by my husband
"It's in London, Britt" he says and I freeze
"As in London, England?" I say after a while. He nods slowly
"Yes..."
"Wow..... I mean that's a long way Hun. For the kids, for us, our family" I say and he nods
"Wait--what's that got to do with me?" I ask him confused
"They wanted you to be co-owner" I open my mouth.
"But I'm pregnant. How am I supposed to do that Trev?" I ask starting to get agitated
"It starts in august. We would move there in July" he tells me and I smile at what he's saying
"I mean it's a good offer trevor. I think we should think about it" I suggest and he nods pulling me close
"I think we should too" he replies
"I just...I think it would be different living away from where we have always been" I whisper and he nods, giving me a kiss on the forehead
"We'll be alright Britt"

I hope so.
