Now I'm the one swinging the door open to the intensive care room. Everybody's face looking up at me as I enter pulling my leather jacket off with an armful of pizza boxes in my hand which I caught off the lazy delivery guy on my way back in.

"Wahey" Rachel smiles and I can tell they've been speculating just by the twinkle in her eye.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSyFEeWd2R
"Any news?" I ask laying the pizzas down refusing to look at Taylor. Jay winks at me and I hold back my laughter.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVSyaoG0KV
"No Matty we thought you'd know seen as you're friendly with the nurse" Rachel blurts out and I wonder how long she's been dying to say that.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbYK9lliTR
I snort at her as she grabs a slice of ham and pineapple.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8ImscbW7S
"The nurse keeps asking me for a word alone. She just followed me to the smoking area. The nurse needs to leave me alone" I say huffing.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjKr6t259tv
"Yeah, yeah" Rachel laughs and I shoot her a look.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHFaePv3rS
"Just enjoy your pizza" I say sarcastically. Jay laughs and I smirk at him.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFLTad09fx
"Got your leathers back on" Jay comments smirking.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVyoaPjEEq
"Oh shh you" I tell him and he laughs.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG8VokuzU9
"You look fucking formal for the hospital" I say jibing at him. It's a tailored suit, pricey. He's taken off the jacket and rolled his shirt sleeves up.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxv9nUEHbA
"I'm a COO now, Matthew. Not a student" he laughs back.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JAMEzvJNF
"What's a COO" Rachel asks and I almost face palm.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32ia7EE6Z4
Jay grabs pizza for Taylor and himself explaining to an ignorant Rachel what his job is. I glance up at Taylor briefly. She smirks at me her eyes catching mine and I look back down at my plate trying not to laugh. It's the most normal moment we've all had together since we heard the news about Ross.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ivmiITvUz
"Fuck me" a small voice utters from the bed and Taylor practically jumps up chucking pizza everywhere rushing to Ross.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHeeNIYCfxB
"I'm definitely still alive if I can hear Jay going on about business and smell pizza" Ross laughs.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDoXClzDcU
Taylor strokes his face and his hair. Jay standing just slightly behind her.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICbLfDuGMb
"Ross" she sobs.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg4QjdtZRA
"Taylor" he croaks.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZg07N1jqW
"Fucking good to hear your voice man" Jay says and I'm almost positive he's tearing up. Which is bizarre to me. He really is going soft.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoL1NipAQY
"Jay you look dapper" he says and we all chuckle.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk8dVggKwd
"How's the pain" Taylor asks and she strokes him again.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd4edLDt3dh
"I can't feel shit which is either really bad or really good I can't tell" he says.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBRHZ4ZwVUY
"Ross you almost" she sobs and he shh's her.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn3l6tKoSd
"I'm here" he says and he sounds raspy but just like Ross, she grasps his hand.
"Matty" he says and I stand up.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbX6ROa9e3
"Yeah man" I manage.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg95LKgoDJ2
"Before the drugs send me to sleep again. I just wanted to say, thank you. For driving around and finding me. The nurse told me" he says and Rachel rolls her eyes.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9qOtWcgrp
"No problem" I smile down at him.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHnU5py1wCR
Taylor cries, full on cries and my instinct kicks in. I go to rub her back, quickly noticing Jay's hand is already there and end up styling it out grabbing a pizza box instead.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ298TJisgY6
"Ross" Taylor sobs.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXYPyI62TA
"Hey now" he slurs slightly. He takes a full look at her and his eyes widen.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnVqe346sr
"You're super pregnant" he smiles.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsagYxhyVxs
"I am" she chuckles and Jay rubs her waist.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6bvzrljom
"Ohhh" she looks down and Jay jumps slightly a wide smile spreading across his face.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXUvYTE1Mm
"He just kicked again" Taylor announces wiping her eyes.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzipi10zh0b
"Wow guys can I feel" Rachel asks surprisingly. I never really saw her as the baby type. She's not selfless, she's usually more consumed by herself.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLMA49k3NT
"Course" Taylor smiles.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvo3bxSnRt
Rachel places her hands on Taylor's bump and we all wait. I'm sure if it wasn't for the machines we would all be in utter silence.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNGDs8dbYE
"Oh guys" she smiles eyes watering looking up at them.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnKg9snjuj
"Babies a little kicker" she says softly, and I'm altogether taken back by her interest in something other than herself.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsYYNdmmEp
"He's been kicking all morning" Taylor smiles and then looks back down at Ross.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM72gKhBuuO
"I was worried about you the night of the accident" she whispers to him.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9gWBeuGUl
"Without knowing anything I was just worried" she adds baffled and emotional.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw22yQ9wPNZ
"Taylor" he whispers softly and the door opens again.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsmVi1VpYc
Olivia, makes her entrance. It's every hour isn't it ? I sigh knowing that all eyes are on me, including Olivia's. She glances at me and I look down at the pizza box. She smirks and I remember her comment earlier about Rachel ordering loads of pizza.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAhuFShKPw
"Hey there, Ross" she says shining a light in his eyes and performing her checks.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l5aNofzfE
"Wow hey that's bright" he smirks.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbyoygxoXV
"How's the pain from 1 to 10?" She asks.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVKJ4khrwq
"Be honest you don't have to be a strong man in front of me" she laughs.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4akQLMwYT
"It's definitely a 9" he says quietly. Taylor looking from Olivia to Ross strokes his hair back again.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96HZer7WNo
Olivia hits a button to release pain meds. Shes all business. She doesn't notice any of my friends watching her.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYpDoNsnn0
"I'm going to report back, and the doctors may decide ICU is no longer necessary. You may be moved to another bed. Your mum has paid for a private suite" she explains.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWj2issgcA
She fills out the chart and flips at her clipboard. I look up and Jay is trying to contain himself from making a comment. I warn him with my eyes and he takes a seat back down in his armchair.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9ScLfr5Li
"My mums here" Ross asks.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmJnV155Xh
"Yeah man she flew over" I say softly.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3zyPnYQGC
He looks up at the ceiling as the pain medication kicks back in and I glance over at Taylor in Jays lap. His hands are on bump again and they’re giggling about how the baby is moving.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdDKSxHayU
Ross falls back asleep and Olivia leaves the room with a small nod towards me. I decide another cigarette escape would cause me more aggravation than it’s worth. I go back to watching Taylor, and wishing it was me she was laying on instead of her husband.
