Taylors POV
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6wxfgLW6k
Standing up in our bedroom in the hazy morning light I look down and realise that my jumper dresses may not be enough to conceal this bump that is forming, the usually loose T-shirt that I wear to bed is already stretching around its circumference. The material collecting around my middle as I stand before Matthew and he bends and kisses me there.

"You feeling okay today?" He asks me looking up at me through his brunette curls.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QABisvxq4
"Feeling heavy down there, like everything's been growing. I don't know I can't explain it" I tell him. We've showered together and I'm deciding what to wear, something that is both comfortable and doesn't make me look overly pregnant. I pull out a silk scarf from the wardrobe with Burberry patterning on it, a black jumper dress and tights. Thanking the cold weather for allowing me to hide under my wool coat for most of the day at university.

"Maybe we should start measuring it" I suggest smiling over at him as he pulls a jumper on.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbRRg76tyr
"It's been growing, I can tell" he smiles standing up and ruffling his hair.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzce58Yy6L
"We may be close to telling the others" I say softly and he nods watching me.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY8lrYGOpxX
"I got some things from the store yesterday" he explains and I eye him.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTavmaP0nEn
"Prenatal vitamins" he smiles and I hug him, everything sets me off. A relatively small gesture has me in tears.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49sNuzfRNj
"You went out to get vitamins" I smile at him and he chuckles hugging me.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxShIE44Vjx
"Of course I saw how tired you were and thought it might help" he says.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzZidCkGMb
"Thank you, daddy to my babies" I say smiling.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN161HgrI9
"Do you think we will have girls or boys" he smirks and I kiss him. Imagining a boy and a girl, Both of them with brunette hair and blue green eyes.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKiCTx1Bzk
"I think we will have one of both" I smile and he giggles.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhsE3R3tr4
"If we have two boys or two girls we can twin their outfits" I explain and he blushes.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ydAJ7DC4R
I insist on making us eggs on toast for breakfast as he stands behind me stroking bump occasionally, kissing my neck and humming in my ear. We eat in each others arms refusing to sit down but instead spooning forkfuls into each others mouths.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmZgNEXx3t
"Oh" I say feeling decisively sick.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFJSXES8No
"Sickness" I say disengaging myself from Matthew and running upstairs. Much to my own disgust I throw everything back up.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIowv9owXJ5
"Taylor" Matthew says rubbing my back.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg6ncUhxaA
"Ugh I'm so hungry" I say brushing my teeth again.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegOn9vwx4r
"Shall we try something else to eat" he asks and I smile up at him.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFESxgfnkf
"Doughnuts and shakes on the way in, what babies don't like doughnuts and shakes?!" he smiles as I reapply my lipstick and spritz myself with perfume. I nod to him happily and he guides me down the stairs, shrugging on my pale grey wool coat and beanie before we leave.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaof549M9HS
Carrying my bags to the car, he straps me in and smiles down at me. Driving just a touch slower than he normally would so as not to jolt me around too much. We pull into a drive thru and he orders cheesy fries and milkshakes and two doughnuts. I smile over at him as he chuckles when I take a bite of the fries.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SuH3ExVoK
"So far so good" I tell him as he rejoins the highway.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdN0Z4Bvz5s
"Babies love takeout" he smiles and I kiss him on his cheek.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz9txYKi8Hh
Matthew reverse parks in the university parking lot in our usual bay next to Jays car. He eyes me possessively as if he doesn't want to leave me at all, and I feel the familiar pull towards him.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJp9hk9qJp
"Have you got any mints, I'm craving mint." I whisper and he laughs.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnvck1f4HO
"Course" he smiles reopening the car door and retrieving a pack of mints from under the dash.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvlDNjxehe
"It will make me feel less sick" I say as I take one before heading off to our lectures. Matthew kisses me before depositing me at the door for psychology, telling me to relax and take it easy.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz06ja2XJKc
I climb the steps in my boots up to my usual seat, glancing up and expecting to place my bag down on Jays seat, I take in the blonde southern viking sitting there before scanning the immediate vicinity for Jane.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDzslXvKgbD
Taking a seat wordlessly next to him, I pull my stuff out feeling his eyes on me.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYToS7g5NDO
"Thought anymore about the kitchen counter" he smirks.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8y9cChCbHC
"Have you?" I ask finally facing him and staring at him.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeX5QhUuT0T
"I'm sure it's hard to see it every day and not think about what I told you I wanted" I laugh and he smiles broadly.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZI0GnkDtBP
"I think about it and other things almost all the time" he says absolutely charmed.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRFQ0z8XvQ
"What with Jane?" I ask quietly.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPsdomXbJs
"No, not with Jane" he scoffs.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYIzZDQhup
"She has no interest in the kitchen counter" he laughs out loud.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfoYUzjgpM
"What's happened? Did you suggest it and then she ran to the hills" I ask him setting up my tablet and waiting for Ross.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7higuKI2UL
"No not quite. Wow now I'm really getting mixed messages here today. One minute you're touching me and telling me you want to be bent over my kitchen counter and the next you're throwing it in my face" he mutters and although he doesn't know that I'm pregnant, he's doing well at aggravating me.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWjryqyFV6
"Are you still with her?" I ask him.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkfGJTqWux
"No" he says softly, glancing up at the front of the hall as Ross enters.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx8fS13EYy4
"Well why not ?" I ask him eyeing Ross and shooting him a quick smile as he descends the steps to our seats. Girls glance at Ross as he walks by but he doesn't notice any of them.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77cDyvehmA
"You know why" Jay explains.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOKEky7TYW
"Oh no I don't Jay, don't pull me into your romantic dramas" I laugh.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcatjeJje3z
"Morning. You two at it again?" Ross laughs taking his bag off and sitting down next to me.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeD00vApSBj
"Morning Ross." I say softly refusing to get wrapped up in the Jane and Jay drama as she turns around and looks at him with derision.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8r7i0VeMC9
Carter begins the lecture, and we all hush. Jay eyes me a couple of times and I look resolutely at the front. He lounges back in the chair crossing one leg over the other and sighing slightly. Ross moves in next to me and places his hand on mine. He strokes over my arm and I relax leaving speech to text to do its work. I glance over at Ross, his hand on my own and I can't help but to catch Jay's expression of confusion as I decide that perhaps I need better boundaries with Ross from now on.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFU4FTSKLZ
As the lecture finishes we hold back to allow Jane out first, I notice that Jay seems a little on edge and I smile at him reassuringly before getting ready to leave. A slight feeling of sickness comes over me and I chew on a mint. As the three of us amble into the canteen, I begin to worry how I'm going to eat anything and not run off to the toilets.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Cq0rbItwf
Purchasing a sub for Matthew, I take a seat next to Ross and place my tray on the table in front of us eyeing Jay drinking and espresso opposite me.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bRpW506XI
"Not going to eat anything, Tay?" He asks me.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7V52dmmj7
"Do you have to comment on everything I do and don't do?" I retort and he laughs.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LI2IkTRnC
"What can I say you fascinate me" he smiles.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj9X5eIrUO7
"That's great, you infuriate me Jay" I laugh and Ross snorts trying to conceal his laughter. Jay smirks and winks at me, spurred on by our little argument.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPer9wn1eK
"Incoming Jay, she looks pissed" Ross says smirking glancing over at the door. Jane purposefully strides through the canteen, in a polo shirt which is her own. I notice she no longer is wearing Jay's clothes. Her eyes trained on Jay as she moves chairs out of her way to get to him.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ69u731Nj8s
"Jay, how fucking dare you. You inconsiderate piece of shit." She shouts angrily. He falters, the usual smile wiped off of his face. I watch him briefly and decide to stand up for him. He looks out of his depth and I decide to diffuse the situation. Or at least try too.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF91CymlaN
I stand up just behind Jane as she faces him seething. Gilbert Scott eyes me warily telling me to get back. However I lightly tap her arm to get her attention.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiShcLY8vjJ
"Jane I'm sorry I know you're pissed.." I begin softly.
The next few minutes happen very quickly, I feel myself being shoved in the direction of Ross as he catches me from behind holding me up. My mind instantly thinking about the babies and going into turmoil as I feel winded and unable to get my breath back.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI01ViZH5fx
Clearly Jane went into fight or flight mode and she had to take it out on me. I cough and sputter trying to catch my breath as Ross cradles me. Jane turns to me feeling embarrassed. And I worry instantly. I kick myself mentally for being so stupid and exposing myself and my waist.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ54Pk8LaWC
Matthew appears as Ross steadies me, he pushes his hair back looking at me seriously concerned. I look at him, pleading him not to worry or make a scene.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomGnRnF2xk
"What the actual fuck" he says scraping his hair back.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofiYcP3TKD
"I didn't realise it was her" Jane stutters, a still annoyed and reeling from Jay and his dismissal of her.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq6poSaOlk
"Really though Taylor I heard what you lot were saying though anyways so you kinda deserved it you bitch" she says turning to Jay. Bursting into tears, because she just shoved me, I feel my worry intensify just swirling around my tummy making me feel even more sick.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRu7QpKhlZ
Shooting a glare at Jay, Matthew instantly walks me away and outside of the building. Leaving my bag, the food, everything behind. When we're outside he sits me down on a bench and it's cold and I shiver. Trying to hold myself together. I feel like a sniffly child who just got herself into a scrap.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHp0KLjFirc
"Are you okay, what do you feel like?" He asks me looking into my eyes holding my jay in his palms as he searches my eyes.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmncGCBQOL
"I'm okay Matty" I tell him and cry again. He pulls his phone out and I watch as he googles the implications of a blow to the waist whilst pregnant.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCcIRQFVHO
"Any pain or discomfort or new symptoms?" He says and he sounds like doctor Matty.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGXApeQ67E
"No pain, I just feel sick still" I tell him as he frantically scrolls on his phone. He breathes out a sigh of relief mixed with frustration.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uhwfmDG9K
"Fuck" he says and shoves his phone in his pocket.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFEjuuKORC
"Let's go to the clinic and check?" He suggests looking into my eyes.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8duKPkwyzH
"Yes, I left my bag" I begin and he strokes my face.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmZyu5Y5YO
"I'll go get it stay here" he says before storming back into the refectory to retrieve my belongings.
