Matty's POV
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGbNkDKU39
The snow, which is now falling heavily, is oddly peaceful. At one am nobody is walking about and disturbing it. The car park is still almost devoid of people. Pulling my phone out, I arrange a tow for the 4x4 online so that it gets sent back home for tomorrow.

Taking a long pull on my cigarette and looking up I see Jay eyeing me. Give me a break, I think to myself, it’s already killing me that he’s been with her alone. Wondering what he might have said to her, how he would have comforted her.

"You okay man" he asks dragging on his own cigarette.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozVI4ZkQIT
"I'm all good just towing the car home." I tell him simply.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIYMLfzWVP
"Is she going to be okay" he asks tentatively.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSRs51hC4Q
"Not seen her that way before" he adds softly as I turn to inspect him.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHNCbgOCdCr
"I know. It was tough on her I think she thought he was a goner." I explain pocketing my phone and facing him.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7jRVEpY29
“She was collapsed in the snow beside him when I found her. Completely cold through and through, grasping at his hands and checking for a pulse” he explains looking into the parking lot.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55XuYvbTDy
The guilt I feel for not being able to help her in her time of need is immense. However at the time, without my car he was the best option to help her, to stop this from becoming an absolute nightmare where she ends up physically hurt. The prospect of her having conceived my child was very much on my mind the entire time.

“Are you okay man?" I ask him, aware that he may also be feeling a sense of shock.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEX7AXrPR4A
"I’m fine, she isn’t" he says simply.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOleCvdS4A
“She cried a lot in the car” he adds, sighing slightly.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNUh12fyyM
"You think she's got him talking yet?" He asks turning to me, one hand in his pocket as he smokes.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX245mNd0X7
"Well I guess we will see" I say knowing that Taylor will not stop until she talks to Ross, and makes sure that he is okay.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuZL6nZxGG
"She ugh is a very caring person" he says oddly.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdqKrhztAx
"Well don't give her too much credit!" I laugh sarcastically.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTgP9gN8Q5
"No I just mean, the way she reacted to him in the hospital bed. And how she has been trying to get him to wake up" he explains.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnp3WYQik9B
"Yes? Do you not know Taylor? At all? She hung up on me in the car and went looking for him putting herself in danger" I retort.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rIasOiK9u
"She's like that, always has to do the right thing. Risks herself over stuff like that." I say and is it coming across that I'm proud of her?
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIIuVqulb2
"She would even do it for you Jay" I laugh.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxHcegAZ2xo
"It's fucking admirable." He says taking a last drag on his cigarette and then drop shooting it into an ash tray.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8au4asDRUP
I shake my head and follow him back through the revolving doors, he eyes the receptionist on the way in and she blushes.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8SuvfYgyF
Pulling him and his Barbour jacket over to the food hall, I notice it’s similar to Taylor’s jacket and sigh. He pulls his black beanie off of his head and blonde waves tumble down almost to his shoulders.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgGP4yFxHa
“Let’s grab some food” I tell him as he follows me, a whole host of female attention on him as he strolls around casually pushing his wavy hair back.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi3DrKrJiA
“Chocolate is not food” he snarks heading over to the deli counter and purchasing meat and fancy cheeses.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4eqS7ATr1
Taking the elevators up to the west wing, he inspects the chocolate and fizzy drink I’ve bought her and smiles. I roll my eyes at him whilst imagining the smile she will give me when she sees it.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZBkQTocAj
Jay strides through the wing of the hospital as nurses move out of his way and smirk at one another. He clicks open the handle on the door and I distinctly hear Ross’ low chuckle. Jay looks back at me smirking as I think to myself that there is nothing that my girl cannot achieve.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwJ4vE3cHJ
"You're incredible and I got you a chocolate bar" I smirk watching Taylor turn to face me.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaX0ngFyUB
"Thank you" she smiles.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu95BJ3x0mC
“I got you a selection of meat and cheese” Jay laughs and Ross scoffs.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpo7kuLxk9
"Glad you're back with us brother" I tell Ross as he nods at me weakly.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1MCs3YkU3e
"What did you say then" Jay asks Taylor as she grabs some pastrami and cheese and eats it.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8gOWfFtWcU
"She was telling me awful jokes" Ross laughs, smiling to himself.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PfBwkIiTJ
“Hey you did laugh at some of them." She teases him.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqImyfhuGQ4
“They were that bad I took pity on you” he smirks.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5KsqrN7Jl
“You’re very lucky that I cannot hit you” she smirks heading to the duffle bag I bought over from home. Placing her Barbour jacket on the recliner chair she stands and stretches out in the little skirt and jumper she’s still wearing.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuwLlbOnI8
"I brought you a shirt if you wanna change by the way" I explain as she rifles through the bag and pulls out my check shirt that she always ends up wearing.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDwzZ6n7vbi
"Perfect" she says heading into the small bathroom.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpattT74MlD
"You got my tooth brush too" she smiles over from the en-suite.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcS831vuTl
"Well yeah I was waiting for the cab thinking what should I bring, Did I do good?" I call over watching her strip down and smiling to myself as I recline back on the chair.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqOaE2kDvY
"Perfect as always" she laughs heading back into the room in just my shirt. Seated in the recliner next to mine she lays down on her side facing me. I can't not look at her. She's literally been crying all day, but she looks amazing all of the time.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8JITZ6usK4
Placing a blanket over to her for her to use when she wants to sleep. The nurses couldn’t say no to Jay before when he explained that driving in the snow was far too treacherous, and so they have allowed us to stay.

Taylor's POV
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0kHNJl6ZW
So in a bizarre turn of events we are all sitting watching TV in Ross' hospital room. Another movie playing out on the flatscreen. And through their constant chatter I’ve realised that Matthew and Jay actually get on very well.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiC92arsy4
Ross murmurs a little, he's been drifting in and out of sleep. I stand up and ask him if he's okay as Jay eyes me from his chair.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLPAFVhUnA
"More morphine? Maybe" I ask Ross.I feel his forehead. And he's just ever so slightly warm.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk5Y7Uwlnc
"You're kind of warm" I say pushing his hair back, feeling the perspiration and worrying.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNQ7kBzvu0
"I'll call for the nurse" I say.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPMpwdtRkv
"I thought you were one" Jay laughs as I look at him, and stick out my tongue.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBZcZby8lS
The nurse arrives. An older lady, with brunette hair tied into a plait, she reminds me of my mum. I speak with her as she enters. She smiles at me warmly checking Ross over.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKswYIrcJHd
"He is warm, you're right however the morphine will sort that out" she tells me pressing the button and sorting out the drip.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfoBRRhvHE
"Are you interested in being a trainee dear" she asks before she leaves. I chuckle turning my attention back to Ross.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8lvn11aeW
"Told you" Jay smirks and I roll my eyes.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDuyxDUoIQ
Matty eyes me quickly and smiles. It's a shame that I can't lay in his arms tonight. I stare up at him laying on my side. Blanket around the end of my legs. It is warm in here. Hospitals are supposed to have a lack of funding but they sure have the money to heat them.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtFP8ol2QY
"Babe don't look at me like that" Matthew whispers.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHX8U7NKXT
"Like what!?" I say smirking.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAx2U4HqnC
"You know what" he chuckles and tickles me.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfVnmzJcxZ
"Get some rest" he warns me placing his hand under my chin and guiding my lips to his. After a long kiss he lets me go.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxeMFMQSq55
"I’ll deal with the patient" he says softly.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcN5wvRZK7P
The nurses have allowed us to stay on the recliners over night because of the disruptive weather and heavy snow. I had imagined us all having to ride back in Jay’s range however it appears we’re all having a hospital sleepover instead.
111Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bLgPqZrWf
Lying on my back, I finally rest, closing my eyes for hopefully a dreamless sleep.
