Taylor's POV
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz1eosp6KW
Matthew James Henderson helped out with the whole of the ground zero cleanup in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, undeterred by Ross or Jay or even my own protestations. He came out unscathed, however a visit to the emergency room was needed to check over any related injuries due to lifting iron bars and rods. Matthew suffered a pull to his shoulder as a result of rescuing people out of the rubble who were injured or had unfortunately met their death.

The death toll was high over two thousand civilians died, however the stat that hit myself and Jay equally as hard was the ten pregnant woman and their unborn children that died as a result of the terrorist attack. The loss of life had been staggering and painful. The tragic images reported worldwide had sent shivers through me, people falling to their deaths from the towers rather than being trapped and left to die in the towers. Matthew witnessed the lot first hand and as I sit watching the Persian gulf and the crystal clear aquamarine waves I am sure that it will all have a lasting effect on him.

Looking out at the gleaming sunshine as Henry lays asleep in a Moses basket next to me which Jay had popped under a parasol, I can make out Jay surfing the waves. I think of the tragedy that he has also suffered recently with the death of his father, how having to take on the CEO position in the company has been an absolute trial for him and that on his days off surfing and chilling at the beach is what he knows. It allows him to destress and I cannot complain when my part of the deal is to lay around in my bikini drinking lemonade and the occasional iced coffee.

Fortunately due to our lifestyle we have managed to eat out at almost every cuisine of restaurant during our stay here, Henry has sampled some real food in puree form and consequently has been sleeping much better. Now he has one baby tooth and we surmised that breastfeeding although it is still comfortable for me may become more difficult. So we have embarked on Henry's introduction to food, So far he has slobbered all over rusks and pigged out on purred carrot and potato. There's a whole host of new flavours for him to try and Jay and I are enjoying the process of feeding him new things.

Jay Gilbert Scott walks up the sand with his surf board under his arm, we're on a semi private beach, it's another perk to being a CEO's wife. His shorts sitting on his hips and his tan chest catching the rays. He scoops his wet hair back and his eyes fix on me as I lay back on my lounger.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJVMNi5jQu
"Good waves?" I ask him softly as he nods laying down on the lounger next to me, he props himself up on his lounger and smiles.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBb0oxaD5P
"You're distracting" he smiles and I giggle.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBoU0bqLW6
"Very distracting in this red little two piece" he smiles looking at bump and smiling.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPzKN9wCjy
"You're equally as distracting" I smirk, eyeing my empty glass he retrieves it before kissing me and sauntering off to the small beach bar. I sink into my lounger and enjoy the rays of sun beating down on me. I'm a nice golden brown since spending the week here in Dubai soaking up the high temperatures every day. Henry's hair is a platinum shade of blonde and my own has been sun kissed with caramel highlights.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjYLrqgMDp
"Here iced coffee" he whispers placing the glass down and sitting on the side of my lounger. My hand travels up his bare back and he sighs, his blonde hair tied up in a half up half down style.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj36382nM5o
"You're tense" I whisper feeling the knots in his back as I stroke him with my palms.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq2uS5HYxj
"Just relax" I whisper and he giggles lounging back as I scoot over to make room for him. His keen smile and glittering blue eyes on me as his fingertips trace lines up my hips.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uu4Fs6dA9
"You're flying tomorrow and I'm worried about it" he whispers, Henry and I are travelling home to Italy whilst Jay finishes off here. My mom awaits us at home along with Rachel and Chris. The Italian sunshine and our pool are something I'm looking forward too, the tranquility and the quiet of my countryside farmhouse.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ542H6nouMK
"Come with us" I smile cheekily kissing his lips impulsively, he gives me his all back. His tongue exploring my mouth as his fingers pull in my hips.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8upWrRWjLb
"Come home with me" I whisper as he breaks away slowly watching me with eyes they are fuelled by lust.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHq762sPcO
"I would love to" he whispers but it's laced with a tone of regret. His eyes giving away his remorse as he tells me that he needs to just spend another two weeks here, for the company. After all he is CEO.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSIhBvpfKZ
"I know" I say watching him before looking down at the Moses basket and checking on Henry. His blue swim shorts on and his dummy in his mouth. Jay and I had planned to take him in the sea but on arrival Henry had demanded food. His favourite seems to be apple puree and so after his fruity lunch he has decided upon a long nap.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUlgt2ty9g
"I want to go home with you" he whispers pulling my attention back on him as I smile weakly, I am not going to demand he leaves with us. Gilbert Scott was always going to be in high demand, whatever job he found himself in. He's a natural leader and a lot of people depend on him. It's just part of his natural character to be in charge at all times, and it's clear that he enjoys the job as far as I can tell. And I will not make this a me or your job scenario, being CEO is important after all.

"My mom will be there to pick us up from the airport, or Chris" I say instead as he glances down at the baby. Neither of us have mentioned Matthew since the attack. My reaction had been to run and save Matthew's life at all costs, my crying had been non stop and Jay initially had clearly felt shocked by my need to go to him. The moment had been almost life altering for all of us, had Matthew of not made it through it's not something I could have lived with.

Henry stirs in his basket and I smile looking up at Jay as he gazes down at him. Henry's little hands thrashing as he gurgles and tests out his voice. His small eyes gazing up at the sky intrigued.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrXpyWJpTa
"Shall we take him for a dip" I whisper as Jay kisses me, breaking away from me he nods standing up and retrieving Henry.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPkHgqSA4R
"Here" I say as he hands me our little baby. I offer him some breastmilk first as Jay watches me in awe moving my bikini top off entirely.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8SdRkDnhK
"Sun cream" I smile as he gapes at me and my bare chest, I figure it's a private beach and I'm feeding my baby.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vAUZ5kc2n
"Right" he mumbles his cheeks going pink as he fumbles through the beach bag and grabs a small lotion bottle. I watch as he carefully rubs sun lotion on Henry's legs draped over my chest. His blonde hair and blue eyes pull me in and I smile looking up at him, daddy to my children.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnl1uIS99g
"I love you Jay" I whisper as his eyes meet mine and he relaxes finally. Henry finishes up and I pass him to his daddy for a burp as I tie up my bikini. He fastens arm bands around him before looking down at me.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVgGRsh03xT
"I love you" he says softly watching me whilst the sun glares behind him. I take his hand in my own and walk through the fine sand all the way to the water as he clutches onto our flesh and blood in his arms. Henry watches us in turn and coos as he looks out at the sea. His eyes full of wonder as he looks at the waves, his legs kicking with excitement.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxsXIJ1zDl
"I promise I'll buy you a surfboard" Jay laughs, as I feel the warm water lap at my ankles. His face appraising Henry with pure joy as I imagine Henry in five years or so splashing in the sea with his daddy, his blonde hair all tousled and his boyish features. A grin over his lips as he listens to his daddy explaining how to ride the waves.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSng67QpqM
"Mon amour" he says pulling me lightly over to him and Henry, the water surrounding my hips.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFZYFmWm2L
"I'll be home before you know it" he whispers kissing my ear.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90gjcv7g3X
Henry squeals with excitement as the waves lap around us, Jay and I giggle looking down at him.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dXLH73MSe
"I don't want you to miss too much" I whisper looking from Henry to Jay.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3yCGQbvFF
"I understand Mon amour" he retaliates holding Henry in close to him.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9WB5xR9Nwl
"I'll wrap up this meeting and get everybody on track and then I'll be flying home" he explains softly.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMb5D6HUULF
"John has a strong character he will be a good negotiator between myself and the board" he whispers looking down at Henry thrashing in the water with pure joy on his face.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAzfxJ635G
“Then we can get Italy off the ground, the business there” he announces looking up at me with a wry smile. I scoop Henry into my arms and he playfully pulls at my wet hair.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kU7IHMYK3
“We can focus on being a family” he whispers looking down at me and Henry.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y7SId0hwY
“I need you” I whisper looking up and into his eyes as they glisten, reflecting the sun that shines down over us. Jay rests a hand on my lower back, guiding us out of the sea. The soft sand turning to dry granules as I walk up the beach feeling it stick to my bare feet. The sun resting on my back as my hair tumbles down in loose ringlets and Henry cradles into my chest. The breeze sweeps through the open beach as I lay Henry down on a towel and change him.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdYYvnc3hK
“Here” Jay says once I’ve placed Henry’s cotton shorts back on. He scoops him up and places him in the baby carrier fastened over his bare chest.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqMIvpCa6K
“Lucky I wish I could sleep in your chest whilst being walked around the beach” I giggle as I put my white sundress back on.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF2LXIvQ53l
“You get my chest every night” he whispers taking my hand in his own, the baby on his front and the backpack on his back.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg1DrH9jm9
“This is the last night I get your chest” I whisper holding onto his hand.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxvCgsqEvf
“Mon amour” he whispers as Henry nods off practically snoring, the waves crashing peacefully into the shore.
20Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0UkGvHkeo1
“I will make it up to you” he smiles as I link my arm through his own.
