Taylors POV
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJZtNplHuf
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpANyNSCYr2
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQW4KPH08u
"It's been growing, I can tell" he smiles standing up and ruffling his hair.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRxhEtm9KTx
"We may be close to telling the others" I say softly and he nods watching me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObNz63URVN
"I got some things from the store yesterday" he explains and I eye him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5slY0Ng4c
"Prenatal vitamins" he smiles and I hug him, everything sets me off. A relatively small gesture has me in tears.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLjXYP5GH6
"You went out to get vitamins" I smile at him and he chuckles hugging me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSBClZMQXt
"Of course I saw how tired you were and thought it might help" he says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVfcQGkXdhB
"Thank you, daddy to my babies" I say smiling.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFhu91SKX3z
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWdlhnKtru
"I think we will have one of both" I smile and he giggles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI6KgcX26n
"If we have two boys or two girls we can twin their outfits" I explain and he blushes.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDtKvOheXn
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CSEI5hPoR
"Oh" I say feeling decisively sick.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C58tT1hIi
"Sickness" I say disengaging myself from Matthew and running upstairs. Much to my own disgust I throw everything back up.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qqou4MxLH
"Taylor" Matthew says rubbing my back.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjjzqmmI91h
"Ugh I'm so hungry" I say brushing my teeth again.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCyF0VMury
"Shall we try something else to eat" he asks and I smile up at him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHE9n7dUuG
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmxzeqn7nMN
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv21BcLI4OU
"So far so good" I tell him as he rejoins the highway.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpvwz9ZTo8
"Babies love takeout" he smiles and I kiss him on his cheek.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9od1dnzGZQ
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5lRXtm618R
"Have you got any mints, I'm craving mint." I whisper and he laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMCVZzSOc0
"Course" he smiles reopening the car door and retrieving a pack of mints from under the dash.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqHQJpSX5A
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4haherU3a
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2rCbQb7Ck
Taking a seat wordlessly next to him, I pull my stuff out feeling his eyes on me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnYy8hxvjb
"Thought anymore about the kitchen counter" he smirks.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3LvUvwjby
"Have you?" I ask finally facing him and staring at him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGFGTnMAjt
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLksQgEKs9N
"I think about it and other things almost all the time" he says absolutely charmed.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEs6g4ebIqt
"What with Jane?" I ask quietly.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdPOpvJFmC
"No, not with Jane" he scoffs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEKbXxBQ3u
"She has no interest in the kitchen counter" he laughs out loud.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawdLRlfkgB
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFBkYPtJTA
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEo4kzieLXJ
"Are you still with her?" I ask him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KG8mnBvve
"No" he says softly, glancing up at the front of the hall as Ross enters.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ox0939JUR
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvNgeBtPiL
"You know why" Jay explains.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp69M9v7DQ
"Oh no I don't Jay, don't pull me into your romantic dramas" I laugh.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7uUTTvv2R
"Morning. You two at it again?" Ross laughs taking his bag off and sitting down next to me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQqYwt7T9v
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqFXVMe1vR3
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhENvBs0lnc
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Sp7aQY0je
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LN7BkvcKJ
"Not going to eat anything, Tay?" He asks me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefEzqTMRjX
"Do you have to comment on everything I do and don't do?" I retort and he laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYsSHkTFv7
"What can I say you fascinate me" he smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZgMnFYc0g
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9m71anUnF5
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa4BMB6D9E
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LnN9NjXWj
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhG0cO4Jtpm
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6suAqYzmt
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BJjiOOmRb
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQi9DRYiMn
"What the actual fuck" he says scraping his hair back.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcs7bYs79e
"I didn't realise it was her" Jane stutters, a still annoyed and reeling from Jay and his dismissal of her.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysFXQUXD0c
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkccRxSFHYT
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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYcppOKK3U
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFxFlZHA0Y
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTnP31T0Qj
"Any pain or discomfort or new symptoms?" He says and he sounds like doctor Matty.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5jIYQ6zxF
"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.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiZmP4vI1u
"Fuck" he says and shoves his phone in his pocket.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmMlvZxiRe
"Let's go to the clinic and check?" He suggests looking into my eyes.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzRr4YZHwRW
"Yes, I left my bag" I begin and he strokes my face.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDU7OAORCsV
"I'll go get it stay here" he says before storming back into the refectory to retrieve my belongings.
