Now I'm the one swinging the door open to the intensive care room. Everybody's face looking up at me as I enter pulling my leather jacket off with an armful of pizza boxes in my hand which I caught off the lazy delivery guy on my way back in.

"Wahey" Rachel smiles and I can tell they've been speculating just by the twinkle in her eye.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡShOFQkwEKD
"Any news?" I ask laying the pizzas down refusing to look at Taylor. Jay winks at me and I hold back my laughter.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRINOQvfsrg
"No Matty we thought you'd know seen as you're friendly with the nurse" Rachel blurts out and I wonder how long she's been dying to say that.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6F1nNCFcyR
I snort at her as she grabs a slice of ham and pineapple.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjNFa68DYc
"The nurse keeps asking me for a word alone. She just followed me to the smoking area. The nurse needs to leave me alone" I say huffing.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52PkW6Bvdr
"Yeah, yeah" Rachel laughs and I shoot her a look.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28klq01Ziv
"Just enjoy your pizza" I say sarcastically. Jay laughs and I smirk at him.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsfpGLrn2u
"Got your leathers back on" Jay comments smirking.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsshNi7vjIt
"Oh shh you" I tell him and he laughs.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvM8OpUougG
"You look fucking formal for the hospital" I say jibing at him. It's a tailored suit, pricey. He's taken off the jacket and rolled his shirt sleeves up.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlz3LuuK8JV
"I'm a COO now, Matthew. Not a student" he laughs back.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XEMEonlnU
"What's a COO" Rachel asks and I almost face palm.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsikmwHbD8K
Jay grabs pizza for Taylor and himself explaining to an ignorant Rachel what his job is. I glance up at Taylor briefly. She smirks at me her eyes catching mine and I look back down at my plate trying not to laugh. It's the most normal moment we've all had together since we heard the news about Ross.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4AkxuSnJm
"Fuck me" a small voice utters from the bed and Taylor practically jumps up chucking pizza everywhere rushing to Ross.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBerKSfbMFr
"I'm definitely still alive if I can hear Jay going on about business and smell pizza" Ross laughs.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zLk8vJ8o7
Taylor strokes his face and his hair. Jay standing just slightly behind her.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Pk98Ln2qu
"Ross" she sobs.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYiHNHTr9X
"Taylor" he croaks.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccazX21LTB
"Fucking good to hear your voice man" Jay says and I'm almost positive he's tearing up. Which is bizarre to me. He really is going soft.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62SZGnw7Fn
"Jay you look dapper" he says and we all chuckle.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL387u3REG5
"How's the pain" Taylor asks and she strokes him again.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ2MRfVzWmC
"I can't feel shit which is either really bad or really good I can't tell" he says.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSzjRDDvyg
"Ross you almost" she sobs and he shh's her.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpfD1VKjWg
"I'm here" he says and he sounds raspy but just like Ross, she grasps his hand.
"Matty" he says and I stand up.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68nLoIof3L
"Yeah man" I manage.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT8GsG1RoZ
"Before the drugs send me to sleep again. I just wanted to say, thank you. For driving around and finding me. The nurse told me" he says and Rachel rolls her eyes.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMI2IQ9AKnk
"No problem" I smile down at him.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH33dQzcrM
Taylor cries, full on cries and my instinct kicks in. I go to rub her back, quickly noticing Jay's hand is already there and end up styling it out grabbing a pizza box instead.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn38EOoUuWp
"Ross" Taylor sobs.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dN2Ro4VOw
"Hey now" he slurs slightly. He takes a full look at her and his eyes widen.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0oTEXrEuvT
"You're super pregnant" he smiles.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgza1eHiCTc
"I am" she chuckles and Jay rubs her waist.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5cLrg4I8p
"Ohhh" she looks down and Jay jumps slightly a wide smile spreading across his face.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aLxkoZeMW
"He just kicked again" Taylor announces wiping her eyes.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZepIcxQoX
"Wow guys can I feel" Rachel asks surprisingly. I never really saw her as the baby type. She's not selfless, she's usually more consumed by herself.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkvWtqOYK2
"Course" Taylor smiles.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyVoh0gODt
Rachel places her hands on Taylor's bump and we all wait. I'm sure if it wasn't for the machines we would all be in utter silence.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQKo8knFNJ
"Oh guys" she smiles eyes watering looking up at them.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdA1x42SB1
"Babies a little kicker" she says softly, and I'm altogether taken back by her interest in something other than herself.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY1xWjUzfD
"He's been kicking all morning" Taylor smiles and then looks back down at Ross.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF7qbw6SE4X
"I was worried about you the night of the accident" she whispers to him.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULFK4wGxvb
"Without knowing anything I was just worried" she adds baffled and emotional.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLVH9v9PcF
"Taylor" he whispers softly and the door opens again.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZFSenZloe
Olivia, makes her entrance. It's every hour isn't it ? I sigh knowing that all eyes are on me, including Olivia's. She glances at me and I look down at the pizza box. She smirks and I remember her comment earlier about Rachel ordering loads of pizza.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDDATfk66W
"Hey there, Ross" she says shining a light in his eyes and performing her checks.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XrWocHn2D
"Wow hey that's bright" he smirks.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y4eptDELb
"How's the pain from 1 to 10?" She asks.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLXsSo8OxP
"Be honest you don't have to be a strong man in front of me" she laughs.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXawcGTndI
"It's definitely a 9" he says quietly. Taylor looking from Olivia to Ross strokes his hair back again.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0immNaB8c
Olivia hits a button to release pain meds. Shes all business. She doesn't notice any of my friends watching her.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxc8o9wW4o
"I'm going to report back, and the doctors may decide ICU is no longer necessary. You may be moved to another bed. Your mum has paid for a private suite" she explains.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNVotK2eOL1
She fills out the chart and flips at her clipboard. I look up and Jay is trying to contain himself from making a comment. I warn him with my eyes and he takes a seat back down in his armchair.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOOXxAXHHE
"My mums here" Ross asks.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohfsdfEqUT
"Yeah man she flew over" I say softly.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBy4jF7G8T
He looks up at the ceiling as the pain medication kicks back in and I glance over at Taylor in Jays lap. His hands are on bump again and they’re giggling about how the baby is moving.
62Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06ZNicT5rs
Ross falls back asleep and Olivia leaves the room with a small nod towards me. I decide another cigarette escape would cause me more aggravation than it’s worth. I go back to watching Taylor, and wishing it was me she was laying on instead of her husband.
