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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ro6jf1wUb
"Any news?" I ask laying the pizzas down refusing to look at Taylor. Jay winks at me and I hold back my laughter.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAukqEAZyxl
"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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2bRohLUzhJ
I snort at her as she grabs a slice of ham and pineapple.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBA88ZP9I1
"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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFTtD3chcK
"Yeah, yeah" Rachel laughs and I shoot her a look.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRsYlIbcUk
"Just enjoy your pizza" I say sarcastically. Jay laughs and I smirk at him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5SjUGAyPA
"Got your leathers back on" Jay comments smirking.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPK1JyCNGlT
"Oh shh you" I tell him and he laughs.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhKrQaJu2V
"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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrVUkkC4fdO
"I'm a COO now, Matthew. Not a student" he laughs back.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK4UD6IIPr
"What's a COO" Rachel asks and I almost face palm.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepNCfPppRs
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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDIG0emXIVu
"Fuck me" a small voice utters from the bed and Taylor practically jumps up chucking pizza everywhere rushing to Ross.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkeEgwkJ9nd
"I'm definitely still alive if I can hear Jay going on about business and smell pizza" Ross laughs.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNg9b0HHKKy
Taylor strokes his face and his hair. Jay standing just slightly behind her.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvUUaiROO1
"Ross" she sobs.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6vqLvFR2v
"Taylor" he croaks.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsQ6VFhnq2
"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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mZ0UcB9fF
"Jay you look dapper" he says and we all chuckle.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiSFGafc76
"How's the pain" Taylor asks and she strokes him again.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMw5L7hclH
"I can't feel shit which is either really bad or really good I can't tell" he says.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6hn4v47z5
"Ross you almost" she sobs and he shh's her.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZxQvtKXyV
"I'm here" he says and he sounds raspy but just like Ross, she grasps his hand.
"Matty" he says and I stand up.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofCC20nktw
"Yeah man" I manage.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDG36A9uE71
"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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sCuJTIgN1
"No problem" I smile down at him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2GSBWqitI
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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kqbVrOxTu
"Ross" Taylor sobs.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHazW7YyPn7
"Hey now" he slurs slightly. He takes a full look at her and his eyes widen.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmf7orJJGdf
"You're super pregnant" he smiles.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOURXJU6Je
"I am" she chuckles and Jay rubs her waist.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTIVPUCKMS
"Ohhh" she looks down and Jay jumps slightly a wide smile spreading across his face.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfVbbLpGImS
"He just kicked again" Taylor announces wiping her eyes.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblJNqBRUlE
"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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnuR8cNOk3
"Course" Taylor smiles.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMaX8gEW5K
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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFnLlGDsab
"Oh guys" she smiles eyes watering looking up at them.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWkyvNjySac
"Babies a little kicker" she says softly, and I'm altogether taken back by her interest in something other than herself.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouvStDVpUv
"He's been kicking all morning" Taylor smiles and then looks back down at Ross.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDvkqEBNETJ
"I was worried about you the night of the accident" she whispers to him.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVL17V10jDl
"Without knowing anything I was just worried" she adds baffled and emotional.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAjSqOyuoL
"Taylor" he whispers softly and the door opens again.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaZutl1XB3
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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieGUAOlaAk
"Hey there, Ross" she says shining a light in his eyes and performing her checks.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQj2h5L8HQ
"Wow hey that's bright" he smirks.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfK5nrwws3
"How's the pain from 1 to 10?" She asks.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡraxhxyr5Iv
"Be honest you don't have to be a strong man in front of me" she laughs.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDGinxIs8D
"It's definitely a 9" he says quietly. Taylor looking from Olivia to Ross strokes his hair back again.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzvpvolR5a
Olivia hits a button to release pain meds. Shes all business. She doesn't notice any of my friends watching her.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNiF310EVr
"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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnknR7dhta
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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3W7Nqz3d0
"My mums here" Ross asks.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QO9gGjUSF
"Yeah man she flew over" I say softly.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmCaroGvYR
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.
188Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRo0dqrQQgd
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.
