A crumbling relationship is what Taylor Swift was facing. Alongside a pregnancy she didn't ask for but she could fix it. She would fix it. Wasn't he the love of her life?
The weeks passed faster than Taylor could have ever anticipated and he bump was growing, she was about to enter her seventh month of pregnancy and it was now September, Taylor had released an album in July and she did want to release another one. She had gotten all pictures done back in June when her bump wasn't visible, she named the albums Folklore and evermore, or as Jack liked to call them her second and third pandemic baby. She was happy she did both photoshootings at the same day because around a week later her bump really started growing.
Joe was still in London and she was missing him dearly, it's been over two month since she last saw him. The whole in her heart seemed to grow with every passing day, she hated this, going through everything all alone, Joe still called her almost everyday and he asked about her but never really about the baby. She didn't know the gender yet, she wanted to find out with Joe, together.
After a bunch of COVID testing and every safety precaution that was ever thought of, Taylor was sitting at home in New York with Blake and Gigi. Taylor's bump was not huge but of course very visible.
Gigi, who was almost at the end of her pregnancy was sitting beside them, her belly alot larger than Taylor's and Gigi had really what you would call pregnancy glow. She was looking flawless and was probably the only person who would wear a crop top being 39 weeks pregnant.
"I seriously wouldn't wanna swap with you guys, I hate pregnancy." Blake said taking a large sip of her wine
"You've done it three times." Taylor pointed out while one hand was resting on her belly the other one reaching to grab a glass of alcohol free wine. The worst supplement for wine that was ever created. But everything for this baby.
"I won't ever do it again." Blake stated confidently and both Gigi and Taylor shook their heads, so far Blake had said that during each of her pregnancy's.
"So Tay, you got any name ideas? Since you refuse to know the gender." Gigi asked snd Taylor shrugged
"I really only have girl names, I just have this feeling it's gonna be a little girl." Taylor smiled and Gigi chuckles "What if it's a boy?" and Taylor chuckled slightly but if she was honest she really wanted a little girl, she couldn't imagine herself as a boy mom
"Impossible, I want a little niece to spoil and so she can have all of my daughters hand me downs that I am too emotional to give away." Blake said and Taylor rolled her eyes
"Yeah you have to give birth to our children's bff, so that when they are teenagers they can have sleepovers and talk about boys and oh my god two generation girls night." Gigi squealed and both Blake and Taylor laughed.
Being surrounded by friends felt so good, she missed the closure of other people "You were in London a couple weeks ago weren't you?"
"Yeah, I talked to Joe and he's coming back ins couple of days so we can find out the gender together and finish the nursery." Taylor smiled thinking about him coming back, feeling him close again, knowing he's there and she could be back with the love of her life.
"I don't think he's a good boyfriend Taylor." Blake said honestly pulling Taylor a little bit closer
"He is, just his family lives in London and he has to compromise." Taylor defended him instantly, she didn't know what made Blake think he was a bad boyfriend, which he wasn't, but she assumed that was what this all was about.
"I don't think that's what she meant Taylor, he never seems to care about your pregnancy or anything regarding it." Gigi said and Taylor protectively put her hands on her belly
"He still has to get used to the idea of a pregnancy it's all so new for him and he needs to process it." Taylor defended him using the argument she always used to convince herself, after each of their phone calls, even when they met in London. And it wasn't just him, his entire family which had always welcomed her with open arms seemed cold and distant to her and it hurt. Taylor wasn't gonna pretend it didn't.
"He could still support you." Blake pointed out and Taylor shook her head "He does, I know he does, he loves me and little miss sunshine in here." Taylor said and Blake rolled her eyes and Gigi pretended to gag
"Who actually thinks he is a good boyfriend?" Gigi says and Taylor felt herself getting more and more furious with them. Why couldn't they see how amazing and loving he was.
A tiny voice in the back of her head kept on telling her that if she just had an epiphany she would realize that what he was doing was wrong but to her it wasn't wrong. He was the love of her life and he was always gonna be.
"It doesn't matter what people think, I know what's right to me." Taylir almost yelled and both Gigi and Blake backed away a little
"Sorry." Taylor muttered under her breath and Blake hugged her and whispered "We're just looking out for you T, we love you that's why we care."
"Yeah, we're really just worried." Gigi said as she squeezed Taylor's hand
"I know, love you too guys, it's probably just my hormones going crazy on me." Taylor said quietly, she knew this time it probably wasn't her hormones and she had a feeling Blake and Gigi knew too
"How about we do something a little more fun?" Gigi said and Blake nodded and Taylor faked a smile
"Wait, Taylor you didn't do a maternity shooting or?" Blake asks and Taylor rolls her eyes "Honestly with COVID it's a bit too much orbs risk for me and not necessary." Taylor confessed, she wanted to do one but she didn't even spend much lonely ok maternity clothing she just lived in bike shorts and Oversized band shirts "Okay, I'll go and find you a perfect spot and Gigi will take care of your hair and make up." Blake said jumping up and immediately starting to search for the perfect spot
"What's wrong with my Hair and make up?" Taylor asked slightly offended and Gigi just brushed it off as she struggled to get up and waddled over to Taylor's bathroom to get some make up and hair supplies
They took a couple of pictures which Taylor liked and Taylor posted them on her privat insta wanting to show off to her friends a tiny bit

@blondie13: pregnancy going good so far
As she was sitting in her bed that night scrolling through her phone she saw an incoming call from Joe. That is weird usually she is the one to call
She quickly picked up and heard the familiar British accent echo though the room "Why did you post that?" he asked, very harshly Taylor thought. She felt her heart clench and she was hurt by this
"What's wrong with it?" Taylor asked innocently and she felt bad, what was wrong with the picture? What did she do for him not to like the picture.
"It's just I don't think it's very flattering. I mean I thought I had a hot girlfriend." He said nonchalantly and Taylor felt the anger boiling inside her
"What is wrong with it Joe?" she asked trying to remain calm, she hated comments on her body and she thought he would know. After all he was the one who helped her get over her ED, he was the one who kept assuring her that she was beautiful, what happened
"It doesn't matter, I'm just calling to tell you I'll be back in the states tomorrow."
Taylor felt a lump in her throat and tears in the corner of her eyes, she didn't realize what she did to make him think something was wrong with her. She didn't know what but she knew she had to fix it
