"You may want to report the incident" Dr forester is saying gently. He lowers his glasses and looks at me.

"No, I can't go through that. I just wanted to know that baby was fine. And you've given me that" I say softly. Jay has his head in his hands on the chair, he's more and more tense by the second.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAFlcLZsVEO0
"There's no time limit whenever you feel ready to talk" Forester says and he leaves it at that.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAmFc3VFYISE
He swings back to his desk and writes down some notes. I sit looking at Jay who has lifted his head and is now watching me. His eyes begging me not to mention him.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAEOz3tvWQvq
"I'm sorry I care too much about you, it's your own fault" I laugh.
61Please respect copyright.PENANACe7WyHBs8E
"Jay has been experiencing some moments of confusion since his head injury" I say and Forester looks up from his writing.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAGj8ATHZxoS
"Jay" he asks.
61Please respect copyright.PENANACywvVj6w3O
"What are the main symptoms" he says and he turns to him, looking at him like he was a young lad again. Care etched on his face.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA1DhLdZPmVj
"Just moments where I can't get my thoughts straight" he says.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAbjYI3kWOBo
"But you can remember stuff?" He enquires.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAvDNX7tJvcY
"I can remember. I just can't get it all straight" he says.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAIOvCBoS4pD
"Okay let's do an MRI scan." Forester orders.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA367whcedSG
"It's okay honestly" Jay protests.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAPBoMJM4NY2
"Let me do my job" Forester says and Jay shuts up. I smile; baby is okay, Jay is being checked. I feel relieved.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAetoRcuq0uQ
I hold Jays hand all the way down to the treatment room, he catches onto my happiness and pulls his arms around me.
61Please respect copyright.PENANARH9mPVgMy2
"I'm glad you're happy" he jokes.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAV8l5Kq7wAo
"Baby is okay, you're being checked" I smile.
61Please respect copyright.PENANACyH61BYeZ4
"I feel much better" I say and I squeeze his hand.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA8wyl4xU9UU
He heads into the MRI and I remain outside. I pull my phone out, I want to see if Rach has messaged me.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA8MNerSr7Iq
I've met up with him. Taylor he's super pissed with me still. But I feel like an adult and we've actually spoken. I'm dealing with my problems for once instead of I dunno drinking them away. Will be okay. Thanks for the advice. I hope you're okay, please if you need me reach out. R x
61Please respect copyright.PENANAjjG4ZkIb0i
I smile and message her back, telling her that I'm happy she has managed to talk with Nate, explaining Jay is taking good care of me and not to worry I will be fine.
61Please respect copyright.PENANASa6vRVTxnu
I scroll into my messages seeing that I have one from Matty and a few from Jacob.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAb98WhYnyuT
I open Matty's first.
61Please respect copyright.PENANADhAnhQhp8J
Remember that you can get through this; you are the most strong and brave person I know. I've already deferred for the year, so don't worry I'm here and not going anywhere. I'll have to tell Ross as he's busy looking at apartments still. Love Matty xxx
61Please respect copyright.PENANAl0b9KPaAc2
I send him a message back, saying that we will catch up on Monday. Sending him my love and signing it off with my name.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAbp6zGit4Jn
Next I open Jacob's message.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAkeEO4Rlhsb
What I did to you was wrong. I'm sitting thinking about it and it's haunting me, already. I'm going to take some time away from the company. This is my problem, not yours. Just know that I'm implicitly sorry for causing you pain. Sorry for making you scared, and for ruining everything. I'm reporting myself to the police. Because it's the only right thing to do. Jacob
61Please respect copyright.PENANAVzTFW0pQeU
I panic at having to be dragged into the police station to confirm his story is truthful. I place my phone back in my bag and stare at the clock. How dare he say he is haunted, I'm sure it doesn't hurt him to just to walk, or to move. Every time I walk there's pain and it's a constant reminder. To say I was scared is just wrong; I was humiliated, terrified, angry. Scared is a huge understatement. Ten whole minutes go by and I pull my phone back out.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAJIMpKJ4ZPp
I'm glad you're haunted by it, because so am I. I think it's the right move to report it. Maybe it will make amends. My hips are bruised, my arms are bruised too. I'm at the hospital, because I was so sore and worried consequently about the baby. I'm in so much physical and emotional pain and at the moment I don't ever want you to touch me again. Ever.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAt259HaDRw9
I send it off, I don't even think. This must be the second stage in processing what happened. I'm angry and I want to hit him. I wipe my eyes. And my phone illuminates again. It's Jacob and I answer it.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAWkLal6hi86
"What" I mumble.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAW78GgbDP82
"I'm sorry" he says.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAabUH61GnLn
"So what?" I reply and I'm crying.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAFM71MFcC3p
"Are you still at the hospital" he asks.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAanJgCl18AT
"Is baby okay" he says softly.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAVqxr6MR4BP
"I'm at the hospital yes" I say.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAnC8oYqGrpb
"Baby is thankfully fine" I reply and I hear him sigh with relief.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAmyGxTd82LL
"I'm sorry" he says and he's stricken too.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAN8Yiakxlfv
"Look I don't care how sorry you are, every time I move it hurts. I keep seeing you holding me down" I say and I cry.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAUoKhE6GfrR
"I have to go" I mumble.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA3udt3KrWIh
"I understand Taylor, I'm so sorry" he says.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA0WN9q8hKd4
"Goodbye" I say.
61Please respect copyright.PENANArSzXxPfQCV
"Goodbye Taylor" he says softly.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAB6rggnaCMA
I hang up and shove my phone in my bag. I've no more words for Jacob and how sorry he is. Jay comes out of the treatment room and I look up.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAnpafYsIA7S
"All done" he replies.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAdYxj3zZCPs
"Results take a few days" he says. He wraps his arms around me.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA2n6oUJuTrF
"Now come" he smiles.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAzwQXzHm1i2
We walk through the halls with his arms around me and on my tummy.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAif2OkBmsfI
"Do you remember when I said to you that I wished you would care for me as much as you cared for Ross in the hospital when he had that accident" he smiles.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAuja0Strwv2
"Course" I laugh.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAaHATCNYtz2
He smiles down at me and I blush.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAZb2Fl1i3a6
"I care for you even more" I say. We walk and he holds onto me not letting me go. We get back into the car ready to drive to the spa.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAWcNYKJ0cdX
"You and me and our little baby" he smiles.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAyXhQwxWysP
"Did you see the little nose" I smile up at him.
61Please respect copyright.PENANA92YmDuk7Mi
"I did" he says.
61Please respect copyright.PENANApWKBRsuIrD
"Did you see the other little tell tale sign that it's a boy" he laughs.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAIkEMnqalKr
"I saw, but didn't wanna shove it in your face" I say, Jay had thought we were having a girl.
61Please respect copyright.PENANAb1PH49FL4c
"Looks like you're going to have to start brainstorming boys names" he smiles and starts up the car. I recline my seat and decide to nap on the way to the spa.
