Taylor's POV
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4O7plMua5
"Let's be honest" I say softly to Ross. It's discharge day today at the hospital, I've helped him to pack his bags and he's had a shower and changed into normal clothes. Jay has gone to collect the documents from reception that Ross needs to sign.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEbDPVQzRk
"I'm sure you're happy to be going home" I say softly. He looks up at me and stands up gingerly. I steady him with my hands and he smiles.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtTj73R3uV
"The offer is there" I say to him. Jay and I have previously discussed this and we're happy for Ross to stay in one of our spare rooms, if he should so choose. Walking is still difficult, and it would be ideal for him to utilise the room with an en-suite. I'm not busy, and I'm happy to make sure that he eats until we leave. It would give Matty a break too. I would even be happy for him to stay there once we leave and travel back to Italy, but we'll discuss that as a couple closer to the time.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWQQ0SOeuL
"I think, a room with an en-suite even just for a week would be perfect" he says to me and I smile.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡem8UgYqAm7
"Say no more" I say, in all honesty I feel terribly guilty for what happened. That I wasn't here, and this is just my way of being here while I can still be of help.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJnH4ojS7N
"Does Matthew know?" He asks softly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DxPkIHFKO
"No but he'll be okay" I say sure of myself.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG24dw3JBYR
"You sure" he asks me and I look up at him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWE7DuHwV0j
"I'm sure" I say to him and I give him a small hug.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uLTSbQLfS
Disengaging myself from him I sigh and hold onto bump.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA5WF9huZ77
"I'm sorry Taylor" he explains and I look up at him, confused.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe3EmoBggc
"It's just I know this would have caused you stress and you're like pregnant" he says and I smirk.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRepZaNtDBY
"Don't be so silly I was more worried about you" I say and I mean it.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgslkRmaBi
"I'm such an idiot driving around and not paying attention to anything" he says frustrated.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtI12lTWmj
"Oh no you don't, remember we focus on the here and now. Not the things we cannot change" I say feeling oddly philosophical.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡppR88QLZQA
"Yeah but" he begins and I shh him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tsHfWNrmV
"You recovered and you're being discharged. I'm cooking tonight, we'll have everybody over to celebrate" I say to him, reassuring, smoothing my dress out.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QvnRzhc3b
"What's the news" he asks a cheeky smile on his face.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAapNL8wie
"Well" I say softly appraising him and taking a seat whilst we wait for Jay.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4XhYR3kaS
"Matthew is with Olivia. Christopher is with Rachel" I say laughing slightly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8TSdlYQyY
"Right who the hell is Christopher and what happened to Nate" he laughs.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWL8PCnwGk
"Christopher is actually really nice, she met him in the coffee shop downstairs. So think of it as a service, you've hooked your friends up with new partners" I say to him teasing.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBRVdfAYG0
"How are you" he says seriously, and I know that he knows everything. Matthew and the whole affair. I look down at bump and cradle him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3a5f4mtUUM
"Ross" I say softly and he stands coming over to me. Wearing a khaki T-shirt he tucks his blonde messy hair behind his ears. It's grown out, and his blue eyes assess my own. He takes a seat next to me on the sofa, and looks at me earnestly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRoFy6aa1O
"Honestly, how are you" he asks again.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwrnsEB94Z
I sob openly and he places an arm around my shoulder.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnS9RoEGzzc
"I thought you were a goner for a long time, I mean who the fuck survives two car accidents. One on a motorbike and the other being hit by a lorry" I say and he shh's me. I wipe my eyes and pull myself together.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKEfQH9pLY
"So I'm happy now, that you're okay Ross" I say softly. He strokes my arm just once and then puts his hand behind his back, stretching out and wincing slightly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6KFpcNhJH
"There was no need for him to strike at that time" he says under his breath. I look up at him softly and he apologises.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYfSbQR8of
"Of course I know. What's wrong with him trying to get with you, when you were upset and feeling vulnerable. I love Matty but Jesus" he says.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMWV1xmdVm
"We have all moved on from it now" I say softly and he shakes his head.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0X07yPmfmV
"What's he doing with the nurse" he asks.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUfjh9Fzs9x
"I don't know; I'll invite her later and you'll see what I mean when I say she is off" I say to him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfNfKwj9EV
"He's being off. What a mess" he says laughing and I stroke his arm just once.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCfS6xCL6h
"What would you like me to cook later seen as it's your celebration meal" I ask him, changing the conversation.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBgoVecqlN
"Hmmm you know you could make pretty much anything" he smirks.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMZfNOENa3
"And I would be over the moon" he smiles.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvvapxJ7a4N
"Oh she's veggie too" I groan, she is going to be judging my food to the extreme. But I will not cause a problem.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4GK0Lr9Iv
"Fajitas and burritos?" He smiles over at me.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vpSqjxZoa
"Yes easy to make veggie options" I smile back at him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7S4653y37s
"Hey can you drink?" I ask him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89SpALr0hA
"Jay will let us know when he comes in with the forms" he smirks.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SjKNXXCio
"I missed this" he says stroking my leg.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKTOg7GDGU
"I missed you being well" I tell him, he looks at me concerned.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbolGdp1k3
"I know" he whispers softly his hand moving up to my cheek. He strokes my face and then removes himself from my vicinity.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqy2GTFMuW
"How's you and Jay" he asks cheekily, a grin spreading across his face.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60b6xm6Ecg
"We're great" I smile at him and he scoffs.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY09GpevSKF
"What a dude" he laughs and I laugh along with him. He means forgiving me for almost sleeping with Matty again, but he won't say it out loud as he wouldn't want to upset me. Typical Ross.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGBEEMlI3p8
He holds my hand briefly and then scoffs. I look up at him curiously.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwwKtxypTP
"I had the engagement ring in the car" he laughs and I look up at him bemused.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyUHkRODvj
"Were you planning on placing it on somebody else's finger" I laugh and he smirks down at me.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6gTRrCKKWi
"Hey shhhh" he says teasing.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAovIcS5VQo
"That's not fair" he laughs briefly looking at my engagement finger. My wedding band, JGS tattooed underneath it. My husband.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKcGkbXVLo
"I'm happy if you are happy" he says softly and more seriously looking down at my lips.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9vLF7owRi
"Im very happy" I say softly and he sighs.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fqPu85WDO
"Mmm well isn't that always the way" he smirks.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxLCbjzNUP
I place my hands over bump and look down at the floor instead of at the man who proposed to me just days before my wedding. The man who has been my best friend from the beginning.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdVkDCG7nf
"Where is my car anyhow?" He laughs and I can't help but to look up at him and chuckle.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpINcUveOjn
"That's a question for Matty" I reply and he scoffs.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKpSrMhlJQY
The door clicks and he shuffles over slightly wincing as he does. Matty enters, looking every bit Mr tall dark and handsome in his black leather jacket and jeans. I smile up at him and his eyes soften.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkNNjrQd0c
Olivia follows in after him and I smile up at her, wearing a shirt and jeans, she looks like the ultimate tomboy. I avoid judgement of her outfit choice and instead stand up to hug the both of them.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CUFDSqjih
"Hey careful" Ross says steadying me, holding onto my hips briefly as I stand up.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VYfQnejVT
"I'm sorry I'm just happy that we're all you know." I say tripping over myself to get to Matty. I wrap my arms around him and he holds me back. I breathe in deeply and sigh, tears rolling down my cheeks.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduA6sjaF4q
"Olivia" I say attempting to hug her, she puts her hands up in a gesture that says don't touch me. I respect her need to be distant and smile all the same. Matty's eyes baring down on me, I stand back and glance up at Ross.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHyfhgM1Zu
"Sorry" I laugh wiping my eyes and they all chuckle slightly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93dgYSU2Fm
"I saw my mum yesterday, and since then...my eyes are watery" I laugh and Ross rubs my back.
Matty eyes the gesture and looks away.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8kijSzHyr
"Olivia" I laugh.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46Z3AEnH6I
"I promise you I'm not usually this emotional" I say defensively. She laughs slightly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xV5G4vNGZ
"Honestly, Taylor you're pregnant it's fine" she comments and I smirk.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwBk40JtbT
"So we've decided" I say looking at them both.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevOtPcwOlH
"A celebration dinner tonight at mine, I'll be making veggie fajitas and chicken fajitas" I say smiling and Matty nods.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsiWwumRze
"Sounds nice to me" Olivia says and I smile at her warmly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBPhGTrXKy
Her hair is curly today, and she's wearing a Smokey eye with nude lips. I tell her that I like what she's done with her hair and she smiles genuinely.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJFI8rJ2Bz
"Your hair always looks wonderful" she reciprocates the comment.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJcByDi35T
"Jay did my hair this morning" I laugh and Matty smirks.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXwlzyMaCU
"Yes, something for you to tease him with." I smirk back winking briefly at Matty.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPgr8InzzH
"Tease who with what" Jay enters laughing and I smirk at him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOiyB9LzV1
"Here we go dude, I tried to sign them for you but the women gave me a filthy look" he laughs.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdRx3d9nIo
"Prescription is for pain meds, no drinking sorry" he laughs.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3cKVSpwjN
"Teasing you with the fact that you dried and styled my hair this morning" I say hugging him whilst he hands Ross the papers, pulling a pen out.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOeEaeXuj6L
"Taylor needs help dressing and everything and what can I say I'm more than happy to oblige" he smirks.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga4LeASdlh
"Missed my calling should have been a hairdresser" he laughs and Olivia snickers.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tjt5ShBRk
"Darling we're hosting a party tonight" I say looking up at him, he laughs.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡph90h6iXI5
"Are we now" he smirks and I kiss him.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqcCvd3wsNQ
"Yes to celebrate Ross being out" I say and he nods.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllxInuhTDF
"Don't worry I'll be cooking" I tell him my hands resting on his chest.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmlOpZqUBG3
"Mmm okay" he says softly and I kiss him again.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcn6gNBRqx
I look over at Ross signing his forms and smile from ear to ear.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCIzkp4ZDCj
"So I can now actually leave hospital" he says laughing and Jay claps him on the back.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbZM4NWbr2
"No more accidents mate" Matthew says and I smile at him looking away quickly as Olivia stares me down just briefly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorvwuuNhXr
"Well done Ross" I say hugging him briefly.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGc4znoRg8x
"I always knew you'd make it" Matthew laughs and I smile up at Ross.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ103edbi9SI
"I'm very happy that I get to leave with all of you" he says softly and I wipe my eyes.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2OuZgLkHO
"Okay stop now, if you want me to make you all dinner instead of crying all night long" I smile, wiping my eyes.
18Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKx1BQDEze
Jay takes my hand in his own and we leave walking behind the others.
