Taylor's POV
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCkY4zBaKK
Honestly, it's a different shade of blue, the kind of blue that tells you you're abroad in a hotter warmer climate. An azure blue sky that fills the landscape ahead of us as we drive the lambo through the one track roads of Tuscany. Jay had left the car in the airport parking, the payment was high but totally worth it as I watched his face light up when he saw our car again. I hid my smirk, Henry harnessed to my chest as Jay opened up the car with glee. We had also already installed a baby seat into the back; as if part of us knew we would be returning with a baby. Parenthood is based on effective preplanning, I tell myself gazing into the back of the Lamborghini at my sleeping baby.

"The heat is different here" I explain looking through the dash at the olive trees lining the sides of the roads, the occasional building. All small farmhouses, stretched far between one another. The rolling hills and lush green land just as I remembered.

"It's hot but it isn't too hot" he laughs, his sunglasses pushing his blonde hair back as he carefully cruises the car through the countryside. Looking out at the horizon, grinning, his face just emanating how happy he is. Truly free and relaxed.

"How do you remember where to go" I laugh slightly, realising he's driving without any navigation. The road signs are almost non existent in the rural parts of Tuscany.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVNYajekuZ
"This is me we're talking about, plus mon amour, we have one direction at the moment north or south" he smirks looking over the one track road just surrounded by farmland.

"America's different huh, highways and interstates and neighbourhoods." He comments looking over the land.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIuA0dnX7M
"Italy is a lot more free, I genuinely feel a difference in myself just being here on an open road" I chuckle agreeing with him.

Henry's lullabies twinkle in the back of the car and I check on him through the little mirror noticing how his lips are still pursed and his eyes closed. I smile to myself, pulling the straps of my camisole up slightly and resting my hair over one shoulder.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm0irfkpMFI
"You, Mon amour, are going to step into our farmhouse, and not even touch the packing. I want you to just relax, enjoy being home" he smirks and I stroke his thigh.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbB3yWeCrPB
"Home, that sounds nice" I smile over at him, as he pulls into the lane that I recognise. The one which is but one track leading up to a magical home that is surrounded by quiet hills and nature. The greenery and trees emanating a sense of calm and stillness. The white wooden gate at the end of the lane finally appears before us, as Jay steps out of the Lamborghini and I watch him open it up before striding back over to the car in his white shirt. The breeze rustling his hair as he pushes it back smiling.

He parks the car up outside of the marble steps that lead up to the front door of the building. A curved staircase which is surrounded by vines and a trellis covered in lilies and carnations, the building itself a red brick farmhouse which manages to be both large and stately and the perfect comfortable home. Set off with large sash windows that adorn all four floors of the home, trailing vines and flowers adorning the walls of the building. I smile reminding myself of the last time I climbed out of this car and how I was double the size. Carrying Henry in my womb instead of in his little car seat.

Jay unclips him and hugs him into his chest, holding my hand he guides both of us up to our home. As a family unit, we walk over the threshold and into the warm tiled hall, the rustic feel and charm to the place makes me feel instantly at home again. The terracottas, contrasting with light bright open spaces.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8Y7NH1d2L
"Today we're going to eat dinner on the veranda outside" Jay smiles down at me and I smirk.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXrHLgwfIr
"There are wood fired pizza ovens if I remember correctly, and with the views, high up over the hills, Mon amour we can watch the sunset together" he smiles and I giggle excited, clasping his jaw in my hands and kissing him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdORJyd4VN
"Plan out the land too, we can see it all from up there" he explains as I break away from the kiss imagining us plotting our empire together.

"Jet lag is real, when you're a new mama, rest while he's still napping" he instructs as he walks Henry through to the snoo in the living area. A large room with high ceilings, traditional architecture with rustic wooden beams stretching over the ceiling. Contrasting with the cream walls, and the large modern windows that look out over the hills, a set of double doors that leads out to the gardens, the view calling for you to explore and soak up the adventure of the outdoors just beyond. Gardens that are filled with olive trees, a shade of green that is pale rather than the leafy emerald of traditional trees. Grapevines that are in fruition and beyond all of the plants and flowers is the outdoor pool which I fully plan on soaking up the sun next too.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNukIWB6gL
The snoo rocks Henry back and forth as he continues to rest, I open up the white double doors to allow the soft breeze in filtering through the drapes. The flatscreen although magnificent, is not something I bother with, instead I focus on the sun and how it colours my Italian paradise. The golden glow of light passing through the grape vines.
Lying down on the ivory linen upholstered sofa, I rest finally at home listening to the soft noises of the Italian countryside; a European goldfinch settles on the other side of the window sill and I smile. The bird with its crimson face and white breast looks out at the expansive land for a brief moment. Tweeting its birdsong before flying away to be free. As I lay there imagining how Matthew would draw it, how he would see its colours and distinctive look and bring it to life on a page, I close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep alongside my baby.

Two hands stroke my face, warm hands that make me smile as I feel his body over mine. Light kisses trailing down my neck and over my jaw.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNw6TikMeH
"Jay" I whisper giggling hearing his chuckle and smiling before opening my eyes.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVz7CwH5oC
"Henry" I question as he stokes my hair back.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdO3DmvrnXE
"Has had two bottles" he whispers and I crane my head to see him resting in the snoo, the soft light of the lamps illuminating the now dark living room. A light breeze rustling in through the double doors as I gaze out briefly at the stars, the open sky which is completely visible through the expansive landscape. Unobstructed by buildings or skyscrapers, the stars truly shine and twinkle over the land and I almost gasp at the sight of just the night sky.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJ9KskenQA
"You're amazing, do you know that?" I whisper to Jay as he slowly kisses my cheek.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6EcBYnYkIi
"You managed to unpack and feed the baby, and I just slept" I giggle and he shakes his head, a small grin falling over his lips as he looks over me lounging on the sofa below him. Still in his jeans, I pull his T-shirt up and over his head to expose one of my favourite parts of his body; his chest.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg29UTrJPAH
"I had to begin to make up for the days and nights I was away" he whispers eyeing me again.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdxMJrP9Mn
"Mmm you have, by being my forever after" I smile before his lips find my own again. Locking and intertwining with my own as I kiss him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8U2z1jaeEC
"I'm so happy" he says softly looking into my eyes as the moon shines behind him in the distance.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqva0Sxvyy
"And not because of the grande farmhouse or the moon shining and being able to see the stars from my living room. Although those things help. But because I'm with you Taylor, and we have our baby. And he's perfect. And you're perfect. And now we're here together, with our little family" he smiles down at me as my hands rub his back.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2kBBVRBfd
"I'm so happy too because I have the most perfect husband in the world" I smile as his lips fervently kiss me until we are practically devouring one another, drunk on each other's love.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Mu1UPcoV
Clothes become irrelevant as we discard them leaving them behind entirely until I can feel his bare skin on mine.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnEQG7Z5MPZ
"I want another baby" I whisper to him unsure of where the notion came from in my mind, not even knowing that I had desired it all again so soon until the words left my mouth. I watch his face as he breathes in deeply, before wordlessly pushing his hips into me as I whimper.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKGFfuKEpT
"Jay" I whisper before kissing him again.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMxUEiqfpa
"I want all of your babies" I tell him as he thrusts into me, on our new sofa in our new farmhouse.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoS2DDDGZ4
"I want to give you everything" he sighs breathlessly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgsGhrn2oa
"I want to give you another one" he whispers in my ear and my tummy flips as his lips graze my neck.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfF2mHEwIQ3
"I'm going to give you my whole life Taylor" he sighs nibbling my ear a little as I pull his hips into me over and over.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTLFkgdIOm
"Me too, Jay" I say feeling his whole body under my touch. The chest that I adore so much, his blonde hair that I comb through with my fingertips and his muscular arms that rest either side of my face. I lay looking up into his eyes, the azure blue that matches the sky, kissing him occasionally as he stares back into my eyes which could never be half as beautiful as his own. He holds himself deep into me whilst we finish, hands clasping onto my hips and eyes baring into my soul.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOPBIuCCOf
"Mmm Taylor" he smiles as he climbs off of the sofa retrieving a blanket to place over us.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83MBOKgoQF
"How can you ever expect me to resist you asking me to put babies inside of you" he smiles as I chuckle pulling him back into my embrace. I blush and rest my head into his chest, as his hands stroke my hair back delicately.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1MahzyCUx
"I love you, I hope we manage to conceive again too by the way. I loved having you pregnant and you are the most perfect mother and wife." He says softly as I kiss his chest.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eCm83u5GD
"You're the best daddy" I giggle looking into his face again. He kisses my lips slowly before smiling.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkRHD0puKS
"The veranda has outdoor lighting and heaters, I checked." He grins and I imagine him exploring the property and setting everything up whilst I rested earlier.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIWiqHOOIC
"Fancy pizza? I'm going to surprise you with my pizza making skills." He laughs as I rub his back.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjb4x2OWg9
"Mhmm I would love your pizza" I tell him before he helps me off of the sofa, the blanket wrapped around my bare body. Jay pulls on his jeans before holding Henry into his bare chest as he looks out at the night sky. I watch him cradle our baby and smile before setting off upstairs to retrieve a night gown just knowing that he will have unpacked everything and placed all of my clothes into the ornate wardrobe.
