I take my dress off intending to bin it. Call it dramatic but I don't want to remember my hen-do.

"Sorry for throwing you a shitty hen-do" Rachel says and she looks at my tears which just don't stop. She grabs me some pjs from the dresser and hands me them.

I flinch moving out of my dress, looking down at my hips which are marked again. Remembering how I hit the table as I fell down to the floor. This is my fault, of course it is. I should have been clear with Ross, I shouldn't have led him to believe that anything could happen between us.

I'm eyeing it in the mirror how the old bruise has popped back up and no doubt there will be a fresh one in the morning. Jay comes in and we're both stunned looking at him because he's crying. Rachel hasn't ever seen Jay cry but he's always magnificent. He gets down on both of his knees. Inspecting my skin and the marks on my hips and he just cries.

"I'm sorry" he kisses my waist.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1lcBQedRia
"Are you okay, is baby okay?" He asks looking up at me, protective tone to his voice.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu0nSywKTI
"Baby is okay" I tell him and I notice Rachel busying herself. Shes staying near, to protect me ? To have my back?
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOkdQBHxal
He kisses my bruises over and over, again. Stands and then cups my chin in his hands.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPmzvCF19V
"I'm not good at this, I love you and I thought I was losing you and I just reacted" he says.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDwzBz8NVH
"I'm not good at this either. I was trying to tell you before, but because we were having such a nice evening and because I'm going to marry you and not Ross I didn't want to ruin it" I say sobbing.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGYdPeNV7J
"I'm sorry I ever even doubted you" he says and he's crying.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZSgWZzYbL
He searches my eyes. And it's the most I've ever melted looking into his own.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnWo62fquF
"That was careless, and reckless and stupid" he says tracing lines on my hips.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30sMUZE4rT
"Taylor Elena Harris" he says and he gets back down on his knees. Rachel gasps and I assume she's watching in shock.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBADNMftsH7
He indicates that I give him the ring again.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5gljTssjp
"Will you still do me the honour of being my wife, for the rest of our lives" he asks me.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8IsIjfskp
"Will you keep me, have me and hold me every day and every night" he says tears escaping his eyes. This is actually the third time that he has proposed and I've said yes every time.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKLQ9X5CaT
"Will you bare all of my children and live with me for the rest of our lives watching our children grow up" he smiles and wipes his eyes.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYztyC3nxY
I place the ring back on my finger laughing slightly at how I'm in suspenders and lingerie, a marked dress on the floor.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9voy6LFtA5
"Yes always, forever yes" I say crying and he rests his forehead on my tummy. Kisses me lightly and breathes out a long steady breath.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdJ1BF4CKS
“I’m so sorry Jay for holding that information from you. I never ever wanted to hurt you or for you to have to go through that” I say softly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSvJ7ovUenI
“I understand, I love you. I was more worried you had changed your mind” he says and he kisses bump.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7JPqy406O
“I love you. I’m having your baby Jay” I say looking at him.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgMVnHxcYw
He stands and kisses my lips wiping my eyes. Looking at me with amazement and wonder. He laughs slightly looking over my shoulder.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOijLvYSbN
"Pull yourself together Rach" he laughs and she splutters laughing and crying her eyes out at the same time.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPgOEAQIZZW
"That was beautiful" she sobs.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5F1fQ8OVj
“Pass me those pjs” I smile. I pull them on and he links his arms around my waist cupping my belly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCIE4m991x
“Lord I hope Nate proposes to me like that one day” she laughs.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp7P9Gq6yj
“That’s the third time Jay has proposed” I laugh.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbV4cXsVCV
“First time was here on the beach, second was after that punch up at the party when we were in the lake house. This was my favourite” I smile at him.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycqOSmsTzP
“You really really love each other.” Rachel smiles.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiHI8PURZA
“Shall I talk to Ross” Jay says
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kmhQzW6pV
“I won’t punch him” he adds smirking.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyaRL5pWju
“I owe it to him to clear it all up” I say.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSiQURjKXrw
“I need to do it” I say.
I pull my hair up in a ponytail and sigh in my sleep shorts.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSLq6lxKtM
“Wow this is a lot for a hen do” I sigh.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtVizXGlm7
Rachel laughs.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfcIrJ2jfP
“Sorry again for the shoddy hen do” she smiles.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZ8OPk7duU
“No need to apologise” I smile.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflbgTCicIJ
Walking downstairs you could hear a pin drop in the living area everybody is on edge. Jay waltzes in and takes a seat with Matty. Matty looks up at him and he knows I’ve chosen Jay. He looks at me carefully, I can always tell what he’s thinking even still. He’s concerned because he knows that I will now be telling Ross, and his expression tells me that he’s here if he needs me. I smile at him weakly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQLQ4wi8kF
“Can we talk” I ask Ross.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifKPEGbDsc
“Of course” he says and my heart sinks.
