A Lifetime With You

Thankful

Taylor's POV
Today is Thanksgiving. I'm so ready to put this out there, but so nervous too. I'm 13 weeks in so I think we're in the clear to announce it. I'm not quite ready to announce it to the world yet, but I will soon. My morning sickness is slowly going away. I only throw up once a day now so it's better. The bump is definitely becoming more noticeable so I wont be able to hide it much longer anyway. I put on my shirt, an orange cardigan, some skinny jeans, and some boots. I put on some light makeup and wear my hair down.

Joe's POV
"3 more weeks until we get to find out what we're having. I'm so ready." Taylor said. "Me too." We head to the car and we drive to her parents' house. When we get there, EVERYBODY is there. Everybody as in Taylor's parents, her brother, Abigail, Selena, Todrick, Karlie, Gigi, my parents, my brothers, and a few more friends. We walked inside, Taylor's sweater crossed in the front and her arms crossed. Everyone came to hug us. We all migrated to the living room and she took her sweater off. We sat there for about 20 minutes talking and then there was awkward silence. Next thing you know, Andrea screams and everyone looked confused, thinking something was wrong. "Stop! Are you kidding? You guys..." she started getting emotional. "Are you serious? You're joking. Joe is this real?" I nod. Everyone caught on. "It is in fact true. Wasn't planned, but it's happening and we're excited." Taylor said. She got up so everyone could see her bump. Everyone was happy for us, but both our parents were ecstatic. "How far along are you?" Todrick asked. "13 weeks" Taylor responded. We all head to the dining room as the food was finished. We sat at the huge dining table and joined hands to pray.

Taylor's POV
"Taylor, sweetie, what would you like to drink?" Joe's mom asked me. "I'll just take a water. Thank you." Everyone was hung up on one topic at the dinner table—my pregnancy. I was actually enjoying talking about it.

9 PM
Everyone is gone except Joe, his parents, and I. We sat in the living room with my parents. "It's crazy because I just found out 3 weeks ago. I was already 10 weeks in. I had no signs whatsoever. Took the tests and they came back positive so the next day I had an appointment to confirm everything and sure enough, I was definitely pregnant. After I found out, that's when my morning sickness kicked in. It's getting better though." I say. "Have you felt any movements or anything?" my mom asks. "No, but I can't wait." I rub my belly which was so bloated now because of all that I ate. We finish talking and Joe and I head home. By the time we get home I'm asleep in the car so he carries me to bed. I dream of baby names and baby clothes. I couldn't wait to find out the gender.
