A Lifetime With You

The Start of Something New

10 months later
Taylor's POV
Well, today is the first day of tour and we're currently in London. It's 11 AM and I'm finishing getting ready and I grab my backpack before getting ready to leave. "Bye baby" I said kissing Joe. I also kissed the kids bye. I get in the car and I'm taken to the arena.

2 PM
It's super hot outside, but I'm putting all my effort into this rehearsal. "Ok, I think it's time for break." I say. I grab my water and head towards the inside of the stadium because I was hot and needed to cool off. I went into my dressing room and sat down for a minute in front of the fan. I then got up to go pee. "Seriously? Today?!!" I say, very irritated. I started my period and it was my first one since giving birth to Elijah. I reach in my purse and grab a tampon. My phone started ringing. "Hey, babe...I'm gonna have to put you on speaker for a second. Just long enough to put this tampon in." I said. "Okay, that's fine. The kids miss you" he said. "I miss them so much." I say. "Watch a one year old and an almost 2 year old is exhausting." Joe said. "Yeah well try carrying them for 9 months and pushing them out of a very small hole. Sorry, I didn't mean to snap like that. It's probably just my period making me moody." I said. "It's okay, honey." Joe said. I start washing my hands and put my phone down to go through my bag. "Shit! And I forgot my breast pump" I said. "Do you want me to bring it to you? Honey, I think it's about time to wean him, don't you? He's already a year old" Joe asked. "We tried and remember how that went? It was a disaster. He's attached to me and I'm not complaining because there's gonna be a point in his life where he is gonna hate us." I say. "That's definitely true. Alright, well I'll bring you your pump. I'll be there shortly. Love you" he said. "Thanks. Love you too." I say.

3 PM
Joe arrives with the kids and I let them into my dressing room. I start pumping while I talked to Joe and the kids played. Out of nowhere, Elijah started crying. "Come here, buddy" Joe said. He lifted him onto his lap and Elijah lied against his shoulder. "It might be teething pain" I said. After I finished pumping, I put the milk in a bottle and gave it to him. "Ma-ma" he said, reaching out to me. I pulled him onto my lap and he started pulling on my shirt. "There's none in there right now. It's right here in the bottle." I said. He lied back and started drinking his bottle and he eventually fell asleep on my lap.

8:20 PM
I'm sitting in my dressing room, nursing Elijah. I've got my makeup on and my hair is done, I just need to get into my first outfit. There was a knock on the door. "Taylor, sweetie...we've got to be out there ASAP." Tree said, knocking on the door. "Ok, I'll be out shortly. He's almost done." I said.

8:30 PM
Elijah was now sleeping so Joe carried him and Avery held his hand as they walked to the stadium. I quickly got changed and got to the stage as soon as I could.

Joe's POV
It's currently 10 PM. Elijah and Avery are sitting on my lap, happily watching their mom sing. Andrea, Scott, and my parents were sitting with us, in a secret area where we could be hidden. "Ok, I'm gonna be completely honest with you guys. In all the years I've been doing this, I haven't ever been late, but tonight was different. I got my hair and makeup done and I was on my way to get changed, but my son, Elijah, started to cry for me. If you would've asked me 3 years ago what I'd be doing today, I wouldn't know, but I've been a mom for almost 2 whole years now and I can honestly say that my babies are the best thing to happen to me. I would've never pictured myself loving motherhood this much, but having these little people follow you around everywhere that call you "mommy" is the best feeling ever. Anyway, I was on my way out here and he wanted to nurse so that's why I was 30 minutes late. I'm soaking in these moments because they don't last forever. This next song is one you guys won't know because I wrote it when I was pregnant with my daughter so I hope y'all like it because it means a lot to me." Taylor said before she started playing her guitar. When she started singing, I couldn't help but smile. I remember her singing this to her belly every single night when she was pregnant with Avery. The rest of the show went amazingly.

Midnight
"You did so good, babe." I said, walking out of the bathroom. "Thank you" she said. She was curled up in a ball and she was cuddling a pillow. "I'm cramping so bad." she said, almost on the verge of tears. I go in the bathroom and fill up our huge tub with hot water and bubbles. I hold out my hand and Taylor takes it and I pull her out of bed. I lead her to the bathroom and I strip and get into the tub and she sits on the toilet to take out her tampon. "That's a pretty bad blister on your foot" I say. "Yeah, the shoes are gonna take awhile to get used to." she said. She strips and joins me in the water. She leans back against me. "This water feels so nice on my back and abdomen." she says.

Taylor's POV
Joe is massaging my lower stomach in the bathtub and it feels so nice. "This is so gross. I don't see how you're bathing with me right now." I said. "Because you're my wife. It's not gross, it's a part of the female life." he said. I'm lying here secretly wishing he would touch me. My hormones during periods are almost the same to pregnancy. I'm always wanting some type of sexual interaction with my husband while on my period. "Just close your eyes and relax" he said softly. I felt his hand travel downwards, touching my most sensitive spot. "Oh my god, thank you" I say. He placed a single kiss on my neck. A few minutes pass and I can feel my cheeks getting red and I'm starting to get hot. I moan softly and bite my lip to try to keep from moaning any louder. Seconds later, a shiver is sent through my whole body as I reach my climax. "Maybe that will help you. I know it has in the past." he said. "Thank you" I said. "In about a year, we can start trying for another baby. I'll be done with tour by then. It's crazy that I'm gonna be touring for a whole year. I'm excited though" I said. "I'm glad you're excited. I'm excited too" Joe said. "I'm getting sleepy. Can we go to bed?" I asked him. We get out and get into our pajamas and get into bed. I snuggle up next to him, my heating pad on my lower stomach to help with cramps. He cuddles me in his warm embrace and places a soft kiss on my temple. "I love you" I say. "I love you too" he said as we both fade into a deep sleep.
