Taylor's POV
28Please respect copyright.PENANA8GsWhr36iI
A cherry red satin slip nightgown is definitely appropriate for a first evening spent with your husband in your new Italian farmhouse. I let the silk fall down to my thighs and tumble my hair over my shoulders. Glancing in the ornate mirror which stretches from the tiled marble floor up to the ceiling and smile. Imagining my tummy filled with another baby, a second child that would be just as treasured as our first.

Pacing over the heated floor I notice that Jay has made up the bed with fresh sheets and attached the next to me crib to the side of our canopy bed. His thoughtfulness continually places a smile on my lips. The spaghetti straps of my camisole silk dress I decide should not be covered up even though the air is cooler in September even in Italy. However I know that Jay will have switched on the outdoor heaters as I confidently leave the room striding down the hall in my slip dress and heading for our veranda.

Reached via the second floor of the farmhouse, at the very back past all of the bedrooms almost like a hidden secret room. I walk through the terracotta hall, pacing over the floor with my bare feet out to the balcony. The outdoor heaters are on, as Jay sits at the ornate table set with Henry in his arms. I note that he has changed him into his sleep suit and swaddled him in a thick blanket as Henry lays there suckling on his pacifier.

The stars shine brightly over the open landscape, an inky night sky that is decorated with a glittering moon. Jay turns to me, his lips curve into a smile when he takes in my slip dress.

"You look wonderful" he whispers standing up and kissing my cheek as I eye up the open wood fired pizza ovens and the two large handmade pizzas currently cooking in them. The table set holding a bottle of red wine, from our own stock in the cellar. The stone pillars of the balcony intertwined with flowers and the outdoor twinkling lights illuminating our little spot.

"You look wonderful too" I tell him softly as he smiles shaking his head, his bare chest on show as he is only clad in his black Levi's. I rub my hands up his back as he sets Henry down in the pram which he has positioned just inside the doorway. Tucking him into the bassinet of the pram with his blanket strewn over him, Henry reaches his hands up and over his head and continues to sleep happily.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA2CEjRrK1LJ
"We have a wonderful baby" I smile and he nods, putting the brakes on the pram and guiding me over to the pizza ovens. I place my hand in his and smile feeling his wedding ring under my hand.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAAHx8Wz79TS
"I made you a chicken and pancetta pizza with cheese and a whole load more cheese. Mozarella, oh and onions garlic and some herbs" he smiles pulling it out of the oven as it's toasted nicely. I take in the bubbling cheese and smile up at him, the glorious smell of the Italian tomatoes and the roast chicken draws me in as I take the board from him and begin slicing it up.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAQnjT0j7s2n
"What did you make for yourself Jay baby" I ask him softly.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAtZshBMBqq2
"Lots of meats and cheese, but you can try mine too. I loaded it with chilli beef and peppers and jalapeños" he smirks and I kiss his irresistible lips taking a slice of my pizza and cupping my hand underneath it before I take a bite.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAXEeP2GLnkJ
"Mmm" I say closing my eyes as he chuckles.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA5mwhcQhVKv
"That's delicious, you've missed your calling you should be a pizza chef" I announce and he laughs wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me into his chest.
28Please respect copyright.PENANACN1nfZ4h2W
"This feels soft and silky too" he whispers looking into my eyes as we hear the beginnings of a small cry from the pram.
28Please respect copyright.PENANALkXc2CIUTQ
"It's most probably a good thing to give him a feed now before I have a glass of wine" I say, even though I stored some pumped off breast milk in the fridge earlier. Henry will have formula at a push, but I prefer to give him breast milk and he prefers drinking it. Who am I to keep him from the thing he loves the most, I chuckle to myself as Jay retrieves him from the pram and I take a seat on the soft sofa set looking out at the views over the vineyards. The acres of land are impressive, it reminds me of all of the plans we have to develop together and I smile looking out at our future.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA5vsnrIaaE6
"Here Mon amour" Jay smiles as I slip the nightgown down. I cradle my baby in my arms as he cries, reassuring him and cooing him before he settles into his feed. Taking a slice of my own pizza as I smirk at Jay who is smiling over at us.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA95lnFtbVSg
"Imagine Jay, you smile now but one day he'll be running around and I'll be feeding another one" I laugh and he nods.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAyFQtv9eW3M
"You've thought this through" he smirks and I nod putting down my pizza before I drop chicken and cheese onto Henry.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAN0yEs5E2ON
"This is a large home, we'll have to keep track of him" I laugh imagining Henry escaping and running around the vineyards and playing in the tall grass and meadows.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAi2NZhROxAb
"It's a very large home. I won't need to work out running around after him" he laughs as I reach my foot over the table and nudge him giggling.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAVdUp6EgWOT
"Mmm the sound of you giggling and planning our future. That's something I cannot resist" he whispers walking around and joining me on the sofa bench. Jay rests his arm over my shoulders and gazes down at Henry briefly before he takes my pizza slice in his hand and feeds me a mouthful.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAdupiZVSdzX
"Thank you Jay baby" I smile once I've finished my mouthful, he nods forking up some olives and feeding me them too. Before I hand him Henry and cover up. Placing Henry over his shoulder with the blanket around him, he pats his back and rocks him looking out into the distance.
28Please respect copyright.PENANALUQq8yEsc6
"That land there" he points briefly, as I fold my legs over one another and take a sip of my wine.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAG6STe2UfgR
"Behind the grapevine, that could be used for more" he begins thinking and I smile.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAchA0jJkC1r
"We could build something there" he surmises and I let myself dream about the future with him.
28Please respect copyright.PENANATbeepGJl9B
"We could have an outbuilding or a greenhouse" he says softly cradling Henry into his chest again as he thinks. I rest my head on his shoulder and smile. Our provider, I think to myself looking down at Henry as we both lean on Jay.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAun9BRw4bUf
"A greenhouse would help with the crops right" I say not knowing what I'm talking about. I reflect on how I've never even been a gardener, never managed to keep any of the plants in my bedroom alive yet here I am the wife of a man who owns a farmhouse.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAvXbghl5aLl
"Yes making sure there's no pests, would help us extend our growing season too" he says softly looking down at me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA3PoI8wchiW
"Throughout December and January, it can even snow here although it is rare" he tells me as I rest into his chest again.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAAaoDu1OyM6
"Would be nice seeing some snow over those hills" I giggle hugging him and Henry before I sit up again and finish off my wine.
28Please respect copyright.PENANADRqGp698DU
"Here" I say to him smiling and feeding him an olive, he takes it between his teeth and smiles at me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAVzN9tUjij9
"Thank you" he smirks once he's eaten it, a small smile on his lips as he holds me in close to his chest again.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA50uBooCpLK
"I'm going to talk to Christopher when Rachel and him visit about distribution. It's something he knows about" he explains softly and I nod as he goes quiet. The breeze rustles through the trees and I take in the scent of grapes and lemons.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAYTMOwYmwFH
"Does he I didn't know that" I murmur waiting for him to reply as the silence only grows and I smirk imagining that he has closed his eyes. It has been a long journey and he has shouldered almost all of the work getting us here and unpacking everything.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAMZvrxpGWA0
Gazing up at him, I take Henry first, holding him over my shoulder as I watch Jay’s expression change from the normal confident grin back into the lost expression I used to see after he was admitted to hospital with a head injury months before. We had been at a party and his ex girlfriend, Jane who has lashed out at me twice for different reasons, launched a brandy bottle at me. Of course Jay stepped in taking the hit on his head, the glass smashing everywhere. And the blood collecting over his head and in his hair still haunts me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAsV9Zw6Afyi
"Sorry darling what were we talking about" he says with his southern accent and I shake my head clutching onto Henry as I stare into his eyes. A sense of vulnerability behind his expression.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAliwo0gx317
"I'm all good Taylor, long day and lots on my mind it just happens sometimes" he says reassuringly as I watch him carefully. He giggles kissing my lips and I smile pulling back from him.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA8j8GiHsDY7
"We need to get a scan for your head, it's been months Jay. And for that to happen again, that's not normal" I say with conviction as he shakes his head.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAjrVVFQ4pMf
“I understand Mon amour, I’ll get it checked” he says nodding and saluting me as if to say that I am the boss. I nod finally as he stands and switches off the outdoor heaters one by one.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAAOvbYmUkwF
“Tomorrow Jay we’ll look into it tomorrow” I tell him as he smiles guiding me into our warm home.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAu0WJLiQzI2
“We also need to visit these churches for Henry” he says softly as I stare down at Henry’s pursed lips and closed eyes.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAHP3UFkNtVi
“We’ll get both done” I say watching him for any sign of forgetfulness, any hint of confusion. He smiles at me reassuringly as he guides me over to our bedroom. Pushing the large double doors closed as I settle Henry down in his crib strapped to our bedside. I stand back watching him sleep and smile at his angelic face.
28Please respect copyright.PENANApo9a4zfMR7
“Taylor” Jay whispers running his hands up my back. His fingertips swirling over the silk as I smile.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA9lxDDo9bIr
“My wife” he whispers and my tummy flips feeling his body against mine, his jeans off and discarded on the floor.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAy7R4FWK0UN
“I’m going to make sure that I put a baby in you tonight” he whispers turning me around to face him biting my lip as he gasps seizing my lips in his own. Full of passion as he lifts me up and deposits me on our bed.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAGKUR7jetd7
“Lord darling” he sighs looking down at me as he straddles me, his fingertips delicately move the satin slip up as he wraps his arms around me kissing my tummy.
28Please respect copyright.PENANApKdPVDp8xl
“I’m going to put one right here” he whispers looking up at me with sparkling blue eyes.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAgQS57cXxsy
“Another perfect little baby” he whispers as I sit up and pull my slip up and over my head.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOS2EvEt6Im
“I want you now” I demand from him as he grins watching my smile. Jay is unforgettable, he utterly possesses me and I gasp clutching onto the bedspread as he thrusts into me. The backdrop of the moon and stars behind him shining through our window as he makes me feel undeniably beautiful.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA4VjJUPN1mM
“I am going to need you for the rest of my days” he whispers in my ear as I turn my head to meet his and kiss his lips.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAXpa45lyZZo
“Mine” I say to him between kisses and he smirks.
28Please respect copyright.PENANA0hVArVaSSA
“All mine” I say looking into his eyes.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAOryNsr80HG
“I’m all yours” he whispers as my hands pull his hips into me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAk42Hl8slwC
“You’re not leaving me again” I gasp feeling possessive, like my love for him is utterly consuming all of my thoughts.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAURlW9YxlfK
“Ever Jay” I whisper as he thrusts into me.
28Please respect copyright.PENANASx0CjA4Yeq
“Ever” he smiles down at me before seizing my lips into his own.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAoiYDoeFr8O
“Our life and our babies” I gasp feeling the pleasure build to a climax.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAzWoaXMNJ4i
Jay gasps holding my arms above my head securely, kissing my lips and my chest over and over as he finishes holding himself still inside of me. His lips travel down my chest and over my ribs as he kisses my tummy before looking up at me smiling.
28Please respect copyright.PENANAaz4L3rXBgD
“Our life and our babies” he whispers before settling into the bed beside me. Pulling the cream cotton sheets over us as I lay on his chest dreaming about the next day and all of our days to come.
