Taylor's POV
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7PzOlocXR
Matthew James Henderson helped out with the whole of the ground zero cleanup in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, undeterred by Ross or Jay or even my own protestations. He came out unscathed, however a visit to the emergency room was needed to check over any related injuries due to lifting iron bars and rods. Matthew suffered a pull to his shoulder as a result of rescuing people out of the rubble who were injured or had unfortunately met their death.

The death toll was high over two thousand civilians died, however the stat that hit myself and Jay equally as hard was the ten pregnant woman and their unborn children that died as a result of the terrorist attack. The loss of life had been staggering and painful. The tragic images reported worldwide had sent shivers through me, people falling to their deaths from the towers rather than being trapped and left to die in the towers. Matthew witnessed the lot first hand and as I sit watching the Persian gulf and the crystal clear aquamarine waves I am sure that it will all have a lasting effect on him.

Looking out at the gleaming sunshine as Henry lays asleep in a Moses basket next to me which Jay had popped under a parasol, I can make out Jay surfing the waves. I think of the tragedy that he has also suffered recently with the death of his father, how having to take on the CEO position in the company has been an absolute trial for him and that on his days off surfing and chilling at the beach is what he knows. It allows him to destress and I cannot complain when my part of the deal is to lay around in my bikini drinking lemonade and the occasional iced coffee.

Fortunately due to our lifestyle we have managed to eat out at almost every cuisine of restaurant during our stay here, Henry has sampled some real food in puree form and consequently has been sleeping much better. Now he has one baby tooth and we surmised that breastfeeding although it is still comfortable for me may become more difficult. So we have embarked on Henry's introduction to food, So far he has slobbered all over rusks and pigged out on purred carrot and potato. There's a whole host of new flavours for him to try and Jay and I are enjoying the process of feeding him new things.

Jay Gilbert Scott walks up the sand with his surf board under his arm, we're on a semi private beach, it's another perk to being a CEO's wife. His shorts sitting on his hips and his tan chest catching the rays. He scoops his wet hair back and his eyes fix on me as I lay back on my lounger.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Tw3OB9uBY
"Good waves?" I ask him softly as he nods laying down on the lounger next to me, he props himself up on his lounger and smiles.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekRrqTbMX9
"You're distracting" he smiles and I giggle.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrksMcn64X
"Very distracting in this red little two piece" he smiles looking at bump and smiling.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2WjgCDAn0
"You're equally as distracting" I smirk, eyeing my empty glass he retrieves it before kissing me and sauntering off to the small beach bar. I sink into my lounger and enjoy the rays of sun beating down on me. I'm a nice golden brown since spending the week here in Dubai soaking up the high temperatures every day. Henry's hair is a platinum shade of blonde and my own has been sun kissed with caramel highlights.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJSqi9Eiey
"Here iced coffee" he whispers placing the glass down and sitting on the side of my lounger. My hand travels up his bare back and he sighs, his blonde hair tied up in a half up half down style.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA9FOpmHOc
"You're tense" I whisper feeling the knots in his back as I stroke him with my palms.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IV6T5sDzJ
"Just relax" I whisper and he giggles lounging back as I scoot over to make room for him. His keen smile and glittering blue eyes on me as his fingertips trace lines up my hips.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXJVPCG1BCp
"You're flying tomorrow and I'm worried about it" he whispers, Henry and I are travelling home to Italy whilst Jay finishes off here. My mom awaits us at home along with Rachel and Chris. The Italian sunshine and our pool are something I'm looking forward too, the tranquility and the quiet of my countryside farmhouse.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDTjEazwqSj
"Come with us" I smile cheekily kissing his lips impulsively, he gives me his all back. His tongue exploring my mouth as his fingers pull in my hips.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyrVOmk77l
"Come home with me" I whisper as he breaks away slowly watching me with eyes they are fuelled by lust.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZZORS5CHO
"I would love to" he whispers but it's laced with a tone of regret. His eyes giving away his remorse as he tells me that he needs to just spend another two weeks here, for the company. After all he is CEO.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyltqTzpwIr
"I know" I say watching him before looking down at the Moses basket and checking on Henry. His blue swim shorts on and his dummy in his mouth. Jay and I had planned to take him in the sea but on arrival Henry had demanded food. His favourite seems to be apple puree and so after his fruity lunch he has decided upon a long nap.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKHDmjpHufX
"I want to go home with you" he whispers pulling my attention back on him as I smile weakly, I am not going to demand he leaves with us. Gilbert Scott was always going to be in high demand, whatever job he found himself in. He's a natural leader and a lot of people depend on him. It's just part of his natural character to be in charge at all times, and it's clear that he enjoys the job as far as I can tell. And I will not make this a me or your job scenario, being CEO is important after all.

"My mom will be there to pick us up from the airport, or Chris" I say instead as he glances down at the baby. Neither of us have mentioned Matthew since the attack. My reaction had been to run and save Matthew's life at all costs, my crying had been non stop and Jay initially had clearly felt shocked by my need to go to him. The moment had been almost life altering for all of us, had Matthew of not made it through it's not something I could have lived with.

Henry stirs in his basket and I smile looking up at Jay as he gazes down at him. Henry's little hands thrashing as he gurgles and tests out his voice. His small eyes gazing up at the sky intrigued.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgTBBPxhKl
"Shall we take him for a dip" I whisper as Jay kisses me, breaking away from me he nods standing up and retrieving Henry.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvUlohogsJ
"Here" I say as he hands me our little baby. I offer him some breastmilk first as Jay watches me in awe moving my bikini top off entirely.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj87xscuAOf
"Sun cream" I smile as he gapes at me and my bare chest, I figure it's a private beach and I'm feeding my baby.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYWmWwpMUS
"Right" he mumbles his cheeks going pink as he fumbles through the beach bag and grabs a small lotion bottle. I watch as he carefully rubs sun lotion on Henry's legs draped over my chest. His blonde hair and blue eyes pull me in and I smile looking up at him, daddy to my children.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQkZ0s5YBe
"I love you Jay" I whisper as his eyes meet mine and he relaxes finally. Henry finishes up and I pass him to his daddy for a burp as I tie up my bikini. He fastens arm bands around him before looking down at me.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucbFwNkeru
"I love you" he says softly watching me whilst the sun glares behind him. I take his hand in my own and walk through the fine sand all the way to the water as he clutches onto our flesh and blood in his arms. Henry watches us in turn and coos as he looks out at the sea. His eyes full of wonder as he looks at the waves, his legs kicking with excitement.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzRIp5ThMV
"I promise I'll buy you a surfboard" Jay laughs, as I feel the warm water lap at my ankles. His face appraising Henry with pure joy as I imagine Henry in five years or so splashing in the sea with his daddy, his blonde hair all tousled and his boyish features. A grin over his lips as he listens to his daddy explaining how to ride the waves.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOI7JSDdcI
"Mon amour" he says pulling me lightly over to him and Henry, the water surrounding my hips.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzaBmPtP9h
"I'll be home before you know it" he whispers kissing my ear.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Gh8VlFofq
Henry squeals with excitement as the waves lap around us, Jay and I giggle looking down at him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRFG3FdIMk
"I don't want you to miss too much" I whisper looking from Henry to Jay.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRmZf61rkv
"I understand Mon amour" he retaliates holding Henry in close to him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk48vD3m39g
"I'll wrap up this meeting and get everybody on track and then I'll be flying home" he explains softly.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTAfIHtnD6
"John has a strong character he will be a good negotiator between myself and the board" he whispers looking down at Henry thrashing in the water with pure joy on his face.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SV8hbRJwT
“Then we can get Italy off the ground, the business there” he announces looking up at me with a wry smile. I scoop Henry into my arms and he playfully pulls at my wet hair.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKbI2CthkZ
“We can focus on being a family” he whispers looking down at me and Henry.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNmQPXQsFd
“I need you” I whisper looking up and into his eyes as they glisten, reflecting the sun that shines down over us. Jay rests a hand on my lower back, guiding us out of the sea. The soft sand turning to dry granules as I walk up the beach feeling it stick to my bare feet. The sun resting on my back as my hair tumbles down in loose ringlets and Henry cradles into my chest. The breeze sweeps through the open beach as I lay Henry down on a towel and change him.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmp3NlTgfjv
“Here” Jay says once I’ve placed Henry’s cotton shorts back on. He scoops him up and places him in the baby carrier fastened over his bare chest.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86zaceGywD
“Lucky I wish I could sleep in your chest whilst being walked around the beach” I giggle as I put my white sundress back on.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lbXHs5typ
“You get my chest every night” he whispers taking my hand in his own, the baby on his front and the backpack on his back.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0dsOPetOF
“This is the last night I get your chest” I whisper holding onto his hand.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4NTVZl9ET
“Mon amour” he whispers as Henry nods off practically snoring, the waves crashing peacefully into the shore.
19Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSf3c9o5sli
“I will make it up to you” he smiles as I link my arm through his own.
