Taylor's POV
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74pMdObkHh
"My darling" I whisper to Jay, he's fast asleep having been looking after me and Ross all of yesterday. I stroke his hair and he blinks slowly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TqtpYfnOX
"Your mother will be here in a couple of hours" I say softly. Claire has insisted that she sets up for the party/baby shower. Not sure how much she needs to set up, I was thinking more along the lines of a drinks table and a few balloons. Clearly she is way better at parties than myself.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj2dKyCtgO
"Mhmmmm" he whispers closing his eyes, and I chuckle tickling him. To him his mother coming over means rolling out of bed pulling on some shorts and bingo he's ready. To me it means exfoliate and shower, apply moisturiser, think for twenty minutes about appropriate classy pregnancy outfits. Apply makeup, and actually get dressed. I sigh and he opens his eyes again.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2ebX35JmR
"My darling" he says softly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIE2l7Q5T2F
"It will be fine, you just gotta let her get everything done and you can relax" he says.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2Ixw3ygz9
"Jay what should I wear, it's like 50 degrees. And I'm heavy and like a beached whale. I want to be in a bikini but I can't strut around with my boobs hanging out with our guests" I say getting worked up. He smiles slowly at my little outburst.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uGjnRTyUr
"Plus what if they start leaking everywhere" I say flustered and he pulls me close.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTCuLCx4Dj
"You wear what you please Mon amore. Your boobs leak and I'll pull you aside and attend to them" he smiles.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebEqcuShXr
"Don't worry about my mum she's been pregnant and knows what you're going through. Ross looks at your boobs, I'll give him the eye and he'll stop" he adds.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jf9g4WgSA
He rests his hands on bump smiling, feeling the little kicks and jabs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUsh3tKx57J
"I spoke with Ross yesterday when you left" I say not wanting anything to be between us. He listens rubbing my waist.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGFohJl6Q1
"He didn't try anything, but he mentioned how I married you even though he proposed" I say and he nods.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsR4VCnN6Be
"I ended up telling him about the miscarriage, because he was going on about how he wished he'd said something earlier than he did." I tell him and he looks up at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRKELc6xA4
"It's why he's acting weird" I add. Every now and then last night I would catch Ross and meet his eyes, his expression one of concern. Of questions and worry.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1wNiNoi0x
"Are you okay" he asks concerned, knowing how much talking about the baby I lost upsets me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1qBxKxPhD
I smile at him and stroke his face, his chiselled cheek bones and his soft lips.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnE3M4Y3Rux
"Oh, Jay I love you" I tell him, he is considerate and caring at all times.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZ4GGOSuHD
"I love you too" he says softly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcku5XNL7m
"Must have been a shock for him" he says and I nod.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV3HjytvAj
"He was emotional. I think he needed to know, especially after everything" I explain.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1253sd7jg
Jay scoops me up into his arms and into his lap on the bed.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnOzEVfSmX
"I had a dream by the way" he says softly, stroking my hair back looking into my eyes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NRXE6onHJ
"What was it" I reply intrigued.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZEjqwGT0F
"You went into labour" he says smirking, holding my face in his hands.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rVVnjkyJ1
"Don't! If I go into labour here then that will stuff up our plans of an Italy birth" I say laughing.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdv4jZK6v4S
Jay picks me up, and I laugh my head falling back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9uv2mjDP48
"You seriously cannot be serious I must weigh a tonne" I chuckle.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbiQCtZH0N
"Guns" he replies smirking looking into my eyes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxi6L0XW5w
He carries me into the bathroom, setting me down on the tiled floor. He begins drawing a bath in the classic bath tub.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0wCd9ilWb
"I think it was my subconscious, preparing me for the most important moment of my life" he says looking up at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaykOQ5Kj40
"Safe delivery of my first child, and safety of the love of my life" he explains brushing my hair back.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhTEr9o2G0
"I will make sure you are both safe" he says hands on bump.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucMM11KZqY
"And even if you do Taylor go into labour here, we can still do the whole Italian ever after" he smiles up at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiUwNTBs8hX
We bathe together and it relaxes me, I rest back onto his chest and he strokes my hair. I opt for a bikini and shorts, honestly I tried all of my clothes and they either don't fit or they make me feel as though I'm suffocating.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLgvpKDG2T
"You look wonderful" he comments as I walk out of the walk in wardrobe in my combo. I look over at him in his jeans shorts and polo neck and sigh. He looks like a model and I feel like a huge walrus.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVM6hMyNbYE
"No you look wonderful" I say softly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRBbFqrPXYy
"Blue suits you" he says looking at the pale blue bikini top.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRmcksVVaEq
"This is the closest fitting one" I say and he smirks.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gprOjdfXi
"Taylor you're the most perfect pregnant woman I've ever seen" he smiles reassuringly. He tucks my curls behind my ear and we leave the bedroom.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeWRlMj8zy
Once we're downstairs he opens up the bi-folding doors to the terrace and thankfully a breeze flows through the kitchen as I make up breakfast.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQGj1jmFr9l
"Morning guys" Ross comes in as I'm frying up the bacon and eggs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1HdokzVBf
"God Jay, I see what you mean about losing all interest in the gym" he laughs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fWPrN0yJg
"Told you" he winks at him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBz25jLBjB
"However you and I" Jay smirks at him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa2dvtIUjn
"We're going to be doing some physio together" he announces and I turn to him laughing.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqvEnYA7kb
"You are really?" I say smirking at Ross. Imagining two blonde shirtless men jumping around in my garden.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOHYZB0o5B
"But first bacon, eggs and baby shower prep" he says laughing.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52WsFmILTQ
They sit down at the oak table and I plate them up two breakfasts. Setting them down on the table Ross looks at me normally and I assume he's slept off his concerns.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkKhjcnvNl
I rub bump softly before eating and Jay eyes me, looking up from his eggs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡljwDrBhV0H
"Lots of movement" I tell him.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxJq4dlCYh
"Do you think babies getting ready" Ross asks.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvYqE9dvcX
"Who knows" I smirk tucking into my bacon and eggs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQZ8oOtjnS
As they chatter and eat, I sit back feeling the baby moving around more than ever. I try to concentrate on my food but it's like he's changing direction inside of me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdUHnlBoPp
"You okay babe" Jay watches me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EfFSelCcG
"Mmmhmm" I say standing up deserting my breakfast and stretching.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AufLhgGxE
"Okay mon amore?" He asks standing up.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWTsyfvBDM
"Just baby is moving but it feels like he's, I don't know doing somersaults" I say and Ross stands too.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdLFnTFkj6
"You think baby might be trying to get head down?" Jay asks softly touching bump.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhWN2KDRs5
I look up to see two pairs of blue eyes watching me concerned. I smile at them both to reassure them. The bell goes and Jay looks to Ross. He nods and walks out into the hall.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5D1WHdWDqD
"Babies moving a lot Jay" I look up at him and he smirks before holding me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uSCknfBm1
"I know, I need you to rest and relax mon amore" he says softly and I look at him concerned.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQxl5dGurh
"What if he is ready" I say freaking out, I most certainly am not.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnB0nfc1Pkc
"Hello darlings" Claire says and Jay looks up smiling at his mum, with his arms still around me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrDgZioI84
I look up at Claire, her kind eyes which are just like Jays. Ross standing just behind her, smiling at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50JYJeHq6K
"What's got you so worried" she says to me reading my emotions.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NBb5CQ7Jf
"Baby is moving so so much" I say and she smiles at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ543nbjzhH0
"That's a good thing" she reassures me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoeN0Z2RHd
"Can I?" She says indicating that she would like to touch my bump.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvm6ErcExYz
"Of course please" I say softly and she swats her son out of the way, he stands back laughing.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kHeNGI487
"He hasn't a clue" she smiles up at me rolling her eyes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHkPCz4Vom4
"Let me just see where the movements are" she says touching bump.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vEmopRDii
"Like I thought" she smiles up at me, her blonde hair the exact same shade as Jay’s cut into a bob.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK39AyOyX1V
"Babies head is down" she says clearly.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXjjWMdFc3
"He's just getting ready to make an appearance don't worry" she smiles up at Jay.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNC84d07jX
"Head down!?" I squeal and Ross laughs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQBWtsjaiW
"Yes the kicks are in your ribs right, so his head is down here" she explains and I marvel at her.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNOFVorsrt
"That's the pressure you're feeling in your lower belly" she explains and I smile at her.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIHgYZYMgS
"Looks like you haven't got long left" she laughs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvKCNPljYe
The worry I feel dissipates around Jay’s mum, she's easy breezy but she also cares greatly. I hug her, I'm not normally a touchy feely person. But she pulls me in wiping her eyes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI289n3whb
"I'm going to be a grandmother very soon" she smiles holding me at arms length.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3hyBzGa5E
"Right little kicker isn't he" she laughs tears in her eyes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwGAgycAsA
"How long do you think we have" I ask her, she is my fountain of knowledge.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraQf4NdgJh
"Well, I have to say, I don't know for sure. It can be anything between hours and weeks Taylor" she explains.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlMIZMQ1xs
"There's just no way to know until you start feeling those contractions" she smiles and hands me back to Jay.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYWyjT97gvn
"Jay dropped head down, engaged in place and was born within two days" she says and I gasp.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VN51enVys
“So let’s do this baby shower” she says looking at both of us.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplvrkurjBJ
“You take it easy” she glances at me.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOuKKVWeeGD
“However you two, will be very handy” she smiles at Jay and Ross and I laugh.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXteTvZA6ur
“Claire, what would you like to drink” I ask her and she smiles.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH2QvWJ2wVs
“A coffee, I would kill for one” she laughs.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnHpggJeyY
“I’ll get it” Jay says softly heading over to the coffee machine and firing it up.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0A3VQl57sh
Claire has bought a lot of stuff, I can tell from the suitcases lined up in the hall. And the cardboard boxes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2k9KNeLbR
“This is my first grandchild” she laughs at my expression.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsd4lF6NA3
I smirk and she calls Ross over almost snapping her fingers, he obliges carrying the large boxes through to the kitchen.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvee10A0yS
“We have a balloon arch, banners. Some of those cute block things with baby written on them” she explains.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIevTJEs0H
“Fairy lights, games” she goes on and I laugh.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkGqpsN6GU
“Coffee mum” Jay calls over.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtz4PlAq5J
“This is going to be the most brilliant baby shower there ever was” she says with a twinkle in her eyes.
31Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡESjrN10dNe
“Oh and I got you a sash” she exclaims.
