Taylor's POV
62Please respect copyright.PENANAKgOnbWhLRH
"It's okay, I'm here" I'm telling ross, stroking his hair back. He was so calm yesterday, the medication is wearing off and it's left him in a state of despair. Worrying about his legs, suffering from flashbacks of the accident and feeling the pain.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAmImC7m03vh
"The fact that you can feel pain, is actually a good thing" Matthew says.
62Please respect copyright.PENANApuiMZQmkd4
"Means that your nerves are all working" we tell him together. I hold onto him, I will not let him go. He looks up at me with glassy eyes. His hand holding onto my own.
62Please respect copyright.PENANACIZe4RBQ6C
"How are you" he says looking up at me.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAFiTxI2MLrR
"I'm great, baby is moving now" I say to him and he smiles. I place his hand, avoiding all of the wires running up his arm, on bump and feel the little kicks.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAz8N0AhHKtk
"That's incredible" he smiles softly. He holds onto me and the baby jabs at him, it makes me chuckle and he laughs smiling up at me.
62Please respect copyright.PENANACaZ1PBRot2
"Where is Jay" he asks.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAFdb7tXKR4o
"He's on a business trip to Dubai" I reply softly stroking Ross' hair back.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAaw21FaFoub
"Business trip" he scoffs.
62Please respect copyright.PENANADmy3v4p0z4
"It's an important one" I tell him.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAvkuX4aYWei
"Hey I'm sorry" he says softly looking into my eyes as I start crying in front of him. Matty rubs my back and I wipe my tears away.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAw2CueNLbrR
"I thought" I sob and he shh's me.
62Please respect copyright.PENANADpBMWBswfL
"I thought you might have fatally hurt yourself Ross" I say sobbing again.
62Please respect copyright.PENANA6m2jlfPr95
"I know, I know" Ross says softly as there's a rap at the door.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAq3TbjWEA2V
Matthew goes to attend to the knock and I stand staring at Ross; tears in both of our eyes. I missed you he mouths to me and I mouth it back to him not breaking his eye contact. The nurse is back, just when Matthew thought that he was off the hook. She begins filling out charts an air of importance about her.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAmCPWRLtely
"Breakfast" Matthew says to me and I face him.
62Please respect copyright.PENANARQWKeMOGBN
"Here" he says handing me an egg muffin.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAioAwWbEtIm
"Are you making sure that Taylor is okay" Ross says softly.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAvWKVkmvwMd
"Of course" Matthew says sitting down next to me.
62Please respect copyright.PENANARaGx3mURVE
"Jay wanted to hire professional bodyguards" he jokes and Ross scoffs.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAm9ulpentaF
"It must be important to leave you for a few days with this one" Ross laughs eyeing up Matty with disapproval.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAmWsyH2Erwr
"He's alright, he cooked dinner last night" I chuckle and I stroke Matty's arm.
62Please respect copyright.PENANArvaQTixA6Z
"He's pretty good isn't he" Ross laughs looking at me.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAUbFpdpReVM
"He cooked a lot at mine" Ross clarifies chuckling.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAgaQhHo3RDv
"It was a lovely steak" I say looking over at Matty.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAmVy6gG7Bs3
The room goes quiet, and I glance up at Olivia as she fills out some form, the door swings again.
62Please respect copyright.PENANA8wvxsTwTWX
"Brace yourself" Matty whispers as Rachel makes her entrance.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAkx34lVWIel
"I just have to say I'm not impressed that you didn't get me any breakfast" Rachel huffs swinging her pink jacket over her shoulder. I glance at her and stand up smiling.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAVOX6XSVdtg
"Want half of mine" I ask her giving her a hug.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAJgl7VCI3ss
"Oh lord no, I am not taking food off of a pregnant woman. Matthew ?" She says demanding his breakfast. I laugh and hug him, I can't help it. He hands over his sandwich to her and the whole room eyes my arms around him.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAl10cysc2Kq
"Hey, I can't help it I'm emotional okay, you nearly died on me. And I'm full of hormones, I need hugs okay" I laugh wiping my eyes.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAzpKh1WTlhb
"Mhmmm he's great at hugs" Rachel smirks laughing and I wink at her.
62Please respect copyright.PENANA8tPtA48kPp
"Oh hey by the way this one" Rachel laughs pointing at me whilst talking to Ross.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAyg3yY5NMjq
"She believes she has a psychic connection to you through her dreams" she laughs and I swat her.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAQbBQ0iEhd6
"Honestly" I say smiling.
62Please respect copyright.PENANADTruSMjnRb
"When you had your accident, we were off grid, no cells, no internet. And I had a dream" I say to Ross.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAWQxnwaPsyO
"She had a dream" Rachel repeats sarcastically.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAKWdu42Cpc9
"Shhh you" I laugh.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAKZ8qfUeiWA
"I dreamt that you needed me, you were in pain. And I made Jay fly us by private jet to the local town because I was that sure something had happened to you" I say looking at him.
62Please respect copyright.PENANABOpPtp16Gq
I stand up and look into Ross' eyes, stroke his face and his eyes water.
62Please respect copyright.PENANASgqzjuMUNt
"I needed you" he whispers.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAhzpHijbhcJ
"I'm here" I say and the nurse watches me completely abashed.
62Please respect copyright.PENANA0T0e1cIPFo
"Stop it, going to throw up" Rachel laughs.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAUMj27BzraA
"Don't waste the food I sacrificed for you" Matty laughs.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAfylQ1dYjlX
"So, Matty you're looking after Taylor" Rachel laughs, probing.
62Please respect copyright.PENANA5EqRNV3QHs
"I'm making sure it's all okay, yeah" he stutters.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAue139Shz2e
"Jay is a bit of a dick, come on asking that of you" she laughs and I sit down.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAMO0A4yaUpq
"Not at all" Matthew says.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAkuap3EGY8y
"I'm happy to do the job" he says softly.
62Please respect copyright.PENANA8W4kvyyWba
"I'll bet you are, pretending to be together again are you" she smirks.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAb3ESqvroZx
"No" both me and Matty say at once and she laughs.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAG112BSU9AY
"Rachel why are you in such a mood today and where is Nate" Matthew jibes at her.
62Please respect copyright.PENANArmugIuTyLj
"I'm not in a mood, just reading the room. Nate is actually with his family out of town. Something he didn't invite me too" she rolls her eyes.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAk9G5pbWdW1
"Oh and Matthew why are you in such a good mood this fine morning" she jibes back.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAA8vGAFL462
"Stop it" I smirk at her.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAJehg3WmX8c
"Nothing is going on here" I say softly.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAyZ3kvs7azI
"I'm watching you Henderson" she says looking at Matthew. His second name is Henderson, it suits him. The nurse places her pen on the board and stares at him briefly. She tightens her ponytail and puts on a pair of specs that I haven't seen before.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAl6bfQVbThy
"Right Ross" she says finally.
62Please respect copyright.PENANA0cuAMDnrgg
"You're all good to be moved over to your private room. Your mother has paid extra for a private suite. There you will still be monitored, and provided with pain relief. Physio will be an option going forward, you may find daily activities hard. Don't push yourself, any help with stuff like getting dressed and support with walking, we're not expecting you to get up and go straight away. Remember your ribs, legs and arms need time to heal. Overall this is great news, congratulation's you survived the ICU" she smiles.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAyxAnp37QiI
"That's amazing" I say smiling.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAiWcfVZqf4a
"Where is the new suite, get you" Rachel asks and I sigh.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAYsjwLsEppK
"It's on the other side of the hospital, the private side" Olivia explains graciously. She stares at Matthew and he pushes his hair away uncomfortably.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAcCIp2PruNd
"Thank you" Ross says to Olivia and I smile at him.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAsTVQXdJ8su
"Not at all." She says curtly.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAaGeaWcii1n
“I wish you all the best in your recovery” she says and then she removes herself from the room.
I wipe my eyes and grab for my phone, pulling up my messages and sending one to Jay. I explain how Ross is being moved from ICU and that things are looking better. I tell him how much I miss him and love him. I sign it off with kisses and my name.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAIuwMwpiK00
Matthew strokes my thigh and stands leaving the room. I nod to Rachel and she laughs.
62Please respect copyright.PENANA0NFJJP0yT0
“See” I say softly a small smile on my lips.
62Please respect copyright.PENANApQst7ftMzr
“What he’s donking my nurse?” Ross laughs.
62Please respect copyright.PENANAPV6bSykcou
“Hope so” I laugh back.
