Taylor's POV

Soon after Rose and Annie had gone to bed, and I was deep into my laundry, I got a call from my publicist Paula.

T: Taylor
P: Paula

T: Hello?
P: Hey T, its Paula.
T: Hi Paula!
P: So congrats on the girls! I know you didn't do it to make your image better, but it's definitely not hurting.
T: Haha, I know. I just don't want people to think its a publicity stunt or anything.
P: Of course! And that is why you are booked on Ellen tomorrow!

CRAP! I had totally forgotten about my interview tomorrow!

T: Oh...er..Right! Of course
P: Taylor, did you forget?
T: Of course not *silence* maybe....
P: It's ok. Here are the details, and I'll email them to you too.
Your flight is at 4 am but you should get to the airport by 3 and remember your an hour away, your staying at the same hotel in Burbank as always, you'll be staying over one night. The next day your flight is at 10 PM so you can spend the day in California.
T: Ok sounds good.

I pull the phone away from my ear to check the time:

8:52

Great, I had just over 5 hours to get ready, just great.

P: There will be a rehearsal 3 hours before the show which is at 2, and remember to prep the girls! The interview is mainly about them of course!
T: Ok, got it.
P: Ok Tay, good talking to you, have fun with the interview!
T: Thanks Paula. Good night

I said hanging up the phone. It's unlikely to forget about interviews and stuff like that, but I've been so wrapped up with my daughters that I forgot! I immediately start packing the girls clothes (which I had just washed) into their new little suitcases. Annie's had the characters from frozen on hers, and Roses was iconically a rosie color. I threw in a few changes of clothes, a few swim suits, a dress for each of them, a pair of sneakers, sandals and flip flops, and the clothes for them to wear on the interview. Annie would wear a cute little pink dress and darker pink stripes at the bottom, and Rose would wear black leggings with a light blue shirt with buttons at the top and a matching head band. As soon as I packed them, I packed myself. Then I packed our carry ons, which included endless entertainment for both girls. Once I was done packing I flopped down on the couch, eghaussted. I checked the time.

1:13

I had to get the girls up in about 15 minutes. I emailed the person who would take care of Meredith and Olivia confirming that they would be here. I called my specialty uber guy and told him I needed a car. Then I went to wake up Annie and Rose. I made them go to the bathroom, and eat a bowl of cereal. They both practically fell asleep at the table. I did their hair so it was out of their faces, and told them to wait in the apartment while I brought the stuff down to the uber guy who was waiting. Once I was done, I returned to the apartment, put a sleeping Annie in the stroller, grabbed my purse, and picked up a sleeping Rose (who was surprisingly very light). She nestled her head into the crook of my neck.

"I've never been on an airplane before," she said sleepily.

"It's gonna be awesome," I said kissing her forehead as I pushed the stroller out of the apartment and closed the door. We got in the car and headed towards the airport. Once we got to the airport, we boarded my private plane. And I positioned the girls next to me. All of a sudden, they were wide awake.

"Mommy?" Said Annie grabbing onto my hand. "I'm scawed."

I looked into her deep blue eyes, and I saw the fear.

"Its ok Ann," I said soothingly. "This is gonna be awesome." I look over to my left and see Rose just staring out the window.

"Hey," I say putting my hand on her back. "Don't worry." She looks over to me with a smile on her face.

"I'm not worried, I'm excited!"

"Ready for take off." We hear the captain say. Both girls immediately grab my hands as we begin to roll down the runway, going faster and faster and faster. Soon we were in the air. We all clapped happily. Once the girls were used to being in the air, they started to get sleepy again. I moved them both over to their own row so they could lay down. I went back to my row and immediately fell asleep.
