Safe & Sound- (A Taylor Swift AU)

~chapter 33~ Flamingo Pink

Taylor's POV (February 4th)
I am officially 20 weeks pregnant! And since it's twins I'm definitely over halfway there. They will most likely come before 40 weeks. Today I have an appointment to find out the genders of the babies. Travis has now seen his therapist 4 times and he is already so much better. He is improving a lot. And thankfully he wants to come to my appointment with me today. He wants to be involved with the pregnancy but I'm still not 100% convinced he wants the babies. With him saying everything he did it's probably gonna take me a while to believe he wants them. But maybe his reaction to the genders will spark something in him? Maybe his reaction will make it very obvious that these babies are something he wants.

"Chloe if you are going with us you need to get your shoes on. If you don't get your shoes on you're staying with nana," Travis announces. Chloe screams and attacks him, "No shoes!" He gently grabs her wrists so she can't attack him with her fists anymore and he helps her get her shoes on. She throws them off, "Im staying with nana you jerk face!" Travis's jaw drops, "Did you learn the word jerk face from your mom?" Chloe nods proudly, "Mommy called you a jerk face." Travis nods.

I walk over to them after grabbing my purse and everything I need, "Okay, bye Chloe, bye Donna. Travis let's go." Travis nods and leaves with me. We get in the car and make our way to the OB. When we get there we are let in privately and they situate us in a private room. My OB comes in. "Hey Taylor!" She says happily. I smile, "Hey Dr. Montgomery." She smiles, "How have you been feeling?" I shrug, "Pregnancy wise, great." She nods, "Okay. Ready to see the babies?" I giggle, "Yes! Absolutely!" Dr. Montgomery puts the cold uncomfortable gel on my belly and gets out the ultrasound machine. She gently puts it on my belly and starts searching for the babies.

"We wanna know the genders today right?" She confirms. I nod with a smile forming on my lips as I look at Baby A on the screen. She nods, "Okay well, it looks like Baby A is a little girl, congratulations." I look over at Travis who has tears streaming down his cheeks and he has the biggest smile on his face. He's happy. Such a girl dad. I look back at the screen and smile the biggest smile. Baby A is a girl. That's so exciting. I'm having a baby girl.

She then searches for Baby B and finds them. "Okay here is Baby B, also very healthy, but a bit smaller than Baby A," Dr. Montgomery announces. I smile as Travis speaks up, "That's normal right? For one baby to be a little smaller." She nods, "Yes, that's very common actually." Travis was genuinely concerned. That makes me feel a lot better about all of this. "Okay, are you ready to know if Baby B is a little boy or little girl?" Travis and I both nod eagerly. She smiles and types out "it's a girl." Travis and I both start sobbing. Twin girls! We are now gonna have 3 little girls. Dr. Montgomery then points to my placenta, "This is your placenta, the girls are identical congratulations."

We just sit there and cry for like 10 minutes before we finally get pictures printed and leave. On the way home Travis puts his hand on my thigh, "Seeing those babies on that screen made me so happy." I look at him as he continues. "We're gonna have twin girls. Identical twin girls. I can't wait," he smiles. I put his hand on my belly for the first time in weeks because I feel he finally deserves it. He tears up, "Hi babies. This is your daddy. I know I've said a lot of bad things, but I didn't mean them. I hope one day you guys can forgive me. I love you my little munchkins, my little girls, and I cannot wait to meet you."

I close my eyes and let him talk to them. I let him rub my belly.  I let him back into the babies developing lives. Let's hope he can prove his place.

"Hey so now that we know the genders we're gonna do a gender announcement photoshoot and I know we are broken but we need to pretend we're happy for the photoshoot. I have everything we need at the house we just gotta get changed, get Chloe, and head to a park," I smile. Travis nods as the car pulls up to our house.
