Taylor's POV

"I'm telling you" he smiles at me in bed as I stroke his hair back. He opened the terrace doors which overlook the pool and the sea beyond, because we both woke up very warm.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiqgvh6E39
"This baby has grown infinitesimally" he laughs his hands rubbing bump. Both palms going over me.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGo8oNeRZg
"I know" I smile back at him, waiting for the little kicks.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIvBioOuBS
"Today I'm going to take you to a lemon grove" he announces smiling rubbing me still; no little kicks.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡup6xdvGlnt
"Lemons are pretty much a speciality in the amalfi coast" he smiles as I stroke his hair again and his jaw.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RJOZD2Zgm
"We can even purchase some limoncello" he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpwF37RJjX
"Taylor" Jay says dipping my chin up to his as I stare at bump waiting, I can feel the breeze rustle through the doors and I cling onto bump. Slight worry setting in.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuS7DgMopZ
"Mhmmm" I respond, trying to remain calm and wait for the kicks and jabs.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIEAgmQweW
"Can you put your hands there again" I ask him and he looks at me; concerned by my tone.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgEvhUlGtf9
"It's just" I say softly. He sweeps his hands over Henry and I feel nothing.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTbgAHLdLe
"There's no movement this morning" I say panicking. He kisses me softly and then stands to grab the pamphlets straight away. Pulls his phone from on the side and dials the number on the contact form for advice.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20vEVRoRe3
Once the call connects he calmly explains our concern and nods waiting. He watches me whilst he's on hold.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzqaJz1oH0
"Hi" he greets the person on the other side of the line. He explains my concerns and waits for a response. Distantly I can hear a female voice.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DW4x5BsXu
"Yes, general health is good, checkup was last week too" he explains.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgnqONyKli
"We most certainly will try all of those" he says calmly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAkU2oLLLS
"Would you mind ? That would be fantastic" he adds softly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHRZoc7Hi6
"Of course" he says thanking the midwife and ending the call.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJme7hlHqr
Placing his phone on the side he lays down next to me. Pulling me into him, with his arms around my hips.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1xImjgBqn
"They say it's likely that baby has been moving all night long, and is resting. We should try ice cubes; or sweet food to wake him up" Jay says.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp57p11MGcl
"Or a short little burst of exercise" he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvHCKtN7H2
"Let's do them all" I say to him getting up. I do a few little jumps on the spot, looking like an absolute fool whilst he heads down to the kitchen for ice.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsmBwbEnsn
I hold onto my bump the entire time he's gone.
Trying to not let the panic and anxiety take over me. Tears roll down my cheeks as I wait for him feeling numb but jumping up and down either way.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl97bv4CQkB
"It's super cold" he says coming back into the room with a glass of ice cold water.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppM8EKKOHA
I take a sip and he kisses my forehead, wiping my eyes.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLkFTj8CAiz
"Darling" he says softly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYvHt5dcak
"You are going to be just fine" he says and his hands hold onto bump. I drink the water swallowing as he rubs bump slowly whilst looking into my eyes. A soft and caring expression on his face.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHuEWa1xnt
He glances down at Henry, moves his hands down and bends in front of me in just his boxers.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtSQ9CP1eoM
"Hey sleepyhead" he whispers to bump and I smile as Henry jabs, a strong kick which I couldn't miss.
He glances up at me a smile on his lips.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ds4PgbD4p
I continue drinking the cold water, it's actually pretty refreshing. Henry jabs a little more, and I smile down at Jay who is still on his knees.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ObMUOyU7L
"Were you just a sleepy baby" he says softly and my eyes cry happy tears as I watch him. Henry goes wild for Jays voice and I smile.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhXE56xsMx
"I'm going to hold you when you're sleeping" he smiles and I wipe my eyes.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaLXaQUXRP
"You know they say you should put them down when they sleep" I say and Jay looks up at me a wry smile on his lips.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjxIdl6bfd
"Mummy says no, but we can have sleepy cuddles" he smirks looking at my tummy.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW9GAeM1ZDc
He kisses my tummy and I play with his hair again.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvdUEH3B7ZV
"Let's make sure we don't worry mummy again, by having long sleeps" he says softly and then stands up, taking the water from me which I've finished.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbPqyTzEml8
"I love you" I whisper and he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjf6gF6T8Y0
"I love you" he says.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnQ3Ihj938
"Now let's get everything checked anyways, everything is okay but just to ease your mind" he says softly, stroking my hair back.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0Mlv2dY1q
"Plus I would like to see my boy" he says softly kissing me.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbbL1qzwnwQ
"In Italy" I ask, melting into his touch.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUyMSSWgwU
"Yes the midwife will email me the details of a private clinic, we can also have a 3d scan there too" he suggests and I smile up at him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsRuoq7VSZ
"Jay you're already the best daddy ever" I say softly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYFdfEEaj9
"Did you see how worried you were; you're the best mother ever. Plus what kind of husband would I be if I didn't sort out all of our worries and take care of everything." He kisses me guides me to the shower.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAaNadvOZc
Pulling off my slip he turns the shower on and I walk in ahead of him. He stands under the water with me and kisses me slowly and passionately.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFxfIHu07K
"Hey, do you remember that shower we shared in my dorm room" I laugh and he scoffs.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgqsPzyzqM
"Horrifying" he says, he used to complain endlessly about the university shower. He negotiated that I should come and move in with him purely for the need of having a decent shower.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOz3n1CUAx
"Look at us now; married, pregnant and in a fancy shower that's almost the size of that entire university bedroom" I laugh.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdW5xT5xtGn
"You know" he whispers turning me around and letting the water stream down my back.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40QqQPACv2
"I used to think about all of this back then" he whispers.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN4ef1cjlS
"Babies and fancy showers, with you as my wife" he smirks.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUQyjersGI
"Ohh really" I ask him and he turns me back to him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy0ttVbJI3
"Yes really" he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkPOIzhk2u
"And that reminds me actually; baby shower, mum has been going on about dates" he says water dripping down his slick hair.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI6oH2KkD1
"I can't wait" I tell him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIbeikvsEe
"I'll give you her number and you can plan" he explains as he turns the shower off and grabs towels for us.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCnU4NVBFuP
Jay wraps me up in a towel and I follow him back through to the bedroom. It's not an en suite; this is a traditional building with large rooms and high ceilings. Ornate architecture rather than clean lines. It's rich in colour with terracottas and oranges and warm ivory walls. I follow him down the hall and head into the large bedroom.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvDRV1mvyB
The ceiling reaches high, and the terrace outside has vines and flowers trailing around the balcony. The bedroom features an ornate bed, which is adorned with white crisp linens. The walls are a warm ivory and there's a traditional dresser with an oval mirror.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1WWzuU0cv
I dress in some white shorts and a black off the shoulder top and sit in front of the mirror drying my hair out. Finally I apply a little bit of makeup; blush, lipstick and some mascara.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uuZDleq3y
"You don't need makeup" he whispers looking at me through the mirror.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskneNk32NQ
"You're glowing" he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgT7lI9Zyg
He massages my shoulders and I look up at him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9fpBcrKaC
"All booked" he says softly kissing my neck.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT4sQjNvhdf
"I'll drive us after breakfast in the Mazda" he laughs, and I swat him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0ow1jqzC0
“Maserati, Mazda same thing!” I laugh and he chuckles.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedBqmLS9S0
"I'm gonna go make us eggs and toast" he smiles and then kisses me before he leaves. His stare lingering on me before he goes.
