Jay's POV
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fRdoqIDv8
Taylor and I scatter clothes everywhere when we reach the first floor of our farmhouse. My shirt falls to the oak floor and I just about wait until we get into our room before I get my hands on the zipper of her dress.The dress peels off of her skin as I place her down before our canopy bed watching her stare into my eyes. Taking in my jaw and the fresh trim she smiles broadly telling me that she adores me. Pulling me close, it's an assault to my senses. I place my palms on bump and smile.

"Am I bigger" she giggles as I straddle her on our bed the white fresh sheets crumpled around her.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9no0B8cBU
"Bump has grown again" I whisper in her ear.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN5WlHcfMV
"You look incredible" she sighs as I complete her with my thrusts.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGknzxd3kZ
"You like it?" I whisper lowering my body fully down to meet hers, kissing her lips slowly. Her perfume fills my senses and I let her take over me.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54GFPEtrAN
"Mhmmm very much so" she sighs running her hands over my neck and back.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpp3tZ8hCPr
"That good huh" I sigh as she arches her hips up to meet mine.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMVnQeGJpq
"Mhmmm Jay" she calls out and a broad smile falls over my lips.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFx7N2myLW
"Ohhh Taylor" I sigh as one golden blonde curl falls over my forehead and I feel her beneath me surrendering to my body fully. It's a rush that takes over me all of a sudden and I'm desperate for her. Holding my wife's hips, her delicate hands behind my neck. Everything centre's for me once more, I left Dubai to be in her arms again. The distance had been gnawing away at me.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77Av9lo6rP
"Please baby" I beg her as she opens her eyes smiling up at me.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtagTH5X6UC
"Come for me, Taylor" I whisper and she smiles lustfully. Watching her orgasm pulls me under and I surrender to her again. Whilst she's getting her breath back I explore her body with my hands and my mouth. Not an inch goes without my attention before I look down at her and she giggles.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNp3OHz8Rm4
"Jay you're absolutely I don't know I can't put my finger on it" she teases me and I smile messing up the curls on the top of my head.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODLV0JWdMP
"You're radiating pure magnetic energy right now" she smiles and I scoff.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMIM0mt4B7
"You look hot as hell" she quips and I full on laugh.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2FmHw0f3Q
"You look like heaven" I smile down at her before laying down next to her on our bed. Taylor faces me and I place my hands on bump as she grins just staring into my eyes.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvySloDqoAl
"My darling you're stuck with me for a long while" I say in my southern accent and she giggles resting her head in my chest. And just like that after a week or so apart, we're like we were before. As I look down at her palms on my chest, registering how we are stronger looking at the rings on her fingers. Stronger than before the disaster and the demise of my father. Even the turbulence that was Matthew at the beginning of our marriage seems somehow utterly inconsequential as I hold onto the bump in her tummy.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCFDmfAK7rR
"I'm very very happy that I'm stuck with you" she whispers wiping her eyes of tears and I kiss her face over and over.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3ohVjO6LB
"Happy emotional pregnancy tears" she laughs and I smile.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW55GOgpyZl
"It’s just" she smiles watching me.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRqAQEnl847
"You're happy and I can feel it and I just" she sobs and I smile looking down at her and wiping her eyes. The air feels different between us, before the love was evident but there was this fractious energy behind it. My emotions; my worry and insecurities clouding the atmosphere continually. Taylor’s anxiety and guilt had been evident as we had processed the events of the past year.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BpVkR2F69
"I have neglected you and your needs" I say simply with a grin on my face and she shakes her head. Whispering the word no and rubbing my back.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SgOxArHEG
"Yes with all of the stuff that happened. Everything I let it all swallow me up" I tell her.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM87sWwPd0A
“I neglected you whilst I was wallowing, and although there was no way of me seeing past it all. It doesn’t make any of it right” I admit.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8p83iPdNI
"I can see that now" I explain as she pulls me into her body and holds me.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDo5qbxKRt
“This is only the beginning for us” she smiles holding my hands onto bump, my hands rubbing over her soft skin. I gaze up at her eyes that close briefly and the soft grin on her face. And honestly at first I cannot be sure of it, but the small jabs on my fingertips tell me that my baby is well inside of her womb. Tears fall from my eyes as she opens her own, her face aghast.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMSRLfGgGI
“Jay did you feel that” she gasps and I smile wiping my eyes.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxaK4EWXRo8
“Yes that’s our baby” I whisper.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrhJ8wMO1j
“That’s the first I’ve felt her move” she whispers as I watch her face in the moonlight.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeC27YmaHk
“Her?” I question as I run my hands over her soft skin and feel the tiny little jabs.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhuEAAhBp5
“I think it’s a girl” she clarifies.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdHKlWzmhf
“Do you now” I tease rubbing her waist.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcW89nSr1am
“Mhmm” she whispers kissing my lips slowly before we get lost in each other’s arms one more. She holds me behind my neck and I gaze into her eyes whilst the stars glimmer through the window.

Dressed in a silk robe Taylor waltzes down with me past the hall where I collect up the tulips to place them in a vase. My shirt slung over my shoulders, it’s a new look for me. Not the usual baby blue but a more muted grey. It's sophisticated and she keeps eyeing it up. It is more grown up and less college boy.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PtVzXv74g
Taylor breezes into the kitchen and Rachel makes a big show of our antics, glancing at her watch and marvelling at how we’ve been up there for hours. Once she glances at me, her jaw drops and her eyes widen. It’s a stare I’ve reviewed a fair amount from various woman on my way here including the flight attendant and even the waiter who was wearing his pants a tad too tightly in first class.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR3RzWBD8r2
"Jay you look bloody hell- I get it all now Taylor" she laughs placing her hand on Christopher's arms reassuringly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF92eKUqhR
"Nice look man" Matthew says first slapping my shoulder as he always would. He pushes his own hair back and eyes Taylor quickly at my side before looking over at my baby and her mother, Evelyn. I’ll dissect his behaviour later.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5fRT4cF8BH
“Jay my man” Chris smiles and I hug him, we get on very well. I reflect on how he’s becoming almost like a younger brother to me. A subtle nod between us means we will be discussing business later. Christopher swipes his almost identical hair back, the shade I realise is almost exactly the same as my own and I notice how open and easy his body language is. There’s nothing hidden with him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVANYwGkIt
“Yeah I fancied a change” I say rubbing my hand over my hair and taking in the scents of the meat and roast. Taylor’s mother stands and embraces me, and honestly her acceptance and welcome means the most to me. I live to be good enough for her daughter.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yf4J3UHs5
“Mmma ma” Henry gargles and I gasp looking from Taylor to our little boy and laughing unbelieving. Henry has a small bowl of mash that Evelyn, Taylor’s mother, had been feeding him.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZlo6NYxUv
“He just…” I begin smiling over at him. He squeals excitedly when I approach him, his legs kicking as he watches me and his arms raised as I pick him up.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4ENnLmKuV
“You’re such a clever boy” I smile holding him upright as Taylor smiles broadly.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeGXM9dO18
“Hungry darling?” She asks me rubbing my back with her palm as she gazes into my eyes.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HvVOARJaQ
“Always I have missed your food” I smirk and she giggles assembling me a plate of food as Rachel informs everybody that she helped cook too. I find my tolerance levels have improved to her continuous onslaught of conversation and I nod smiling. Funny it is how when you’re no longer in the depths of despair you can better handle your emotions.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jEBZyOIT3
“Here boy” I say to Henry as I sit him up in his high chair and begin feeding him with the plastic spoon.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KAPBWhqR5
“So the wedding has been moved forward Jay” Rachel informs me and I nod smiling at Christopher as he smirks.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70Y105UxiD
“We bought Taylor’s dress today” she explains and that piques my attention. Taylor places a heaped plate in front of me and I smile as she takes a seat opposite me with her own food. Her bare foot makes contact with my leg under the table and I watch her curiously as she smiles mischievously.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH8FqqdjTe
“It’s beautiful” Rachel nods and I smile over at Taylor who is brushing me with her foot.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3o2WnTLQx9
“And pink!” Rachel laughs and I nod unable to remember a time when Taylor has worn pink.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbY0JEcmSnG
“It’s like a dusty pink colour” Taylor corrects watching me.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU03SXtMt5
“Taylor suits pink” her mother chimes in as I taste my wife’s cooking again.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ61MSWfuL1Y
“When Taylor first did ballet, she wanted a navy ballet outfit like the boys wear. However the teacher refused and so I bought her the pale pink tutu and leotard” her mother explains.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fsmHOS4e2
“I just didn’t understand why to dance I had to be a pink ballet girl” Taylor laughs as Rachel scoffs.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqP6q2BouHq
“I think it suits you” Rachel smiles.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkTq0XW0Fh
“It suited her didn’t stop her becoming principal in her dance classes either” Evelyn, her mother chuckles.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyEtqw8inh
“A talented pink ballet girl” Ross giggles and Taylor laughs.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiWcv78A4m
“We also chose Rachel’s wedding gown” Taylor explains changing the conversation to deflect the attention away from herself.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkNNuaZrM0
“Let me guess it’s pink too” Ross quips as Rachel laughs out loud, a high pitched sound that Henry balks from.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eJNs5uhRx
“No silly it’s white” she explains as Taylor shakes her head.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvysyH4Wkgd
“It’s pale ivory” she corrects.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxkuEQiZje
“And she will look every bit the beautiful blushing bride” Taylor announces before standing and grasping our baby from the high feeding chair, the blue sleep suit with bears on it looks sweet on him. He stares into his mother’s eyes and she cradles him close. The chatter continues around the table, Ross talking about the upcoming trip to the States for the wedding and Rachel gushing over details of the day. My eyes remain on Henry falling asleep in the arms of his mother, her exposed neck and the bow ties around her silk robe. Her lustrous hair and the way her eyes light up when she laughs. Being home with her is everything to me, so captivated by her that I refuse to analyse Matthew and the way he watches her every now and again. How his eyes linger on her lips and chest only makes me value her being my wife. And not his.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOeZYMypK7
The candles die down, the wax burning all the way down in drops to the glass trays holding them. The scent of honey and vanilla filling the large kitchen and the wooden beams above holding the chandeliers. Taylor stands in the low light holding our sleeping baby.
14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfwWD4BvVN
The joy of living in the countryside, acres surrounding you from any other life gives you a sense of security without having to double bolt all of your doors and so I leave the others to their night, following Taylor up the stairs and all the way through the corridors to the master suite. We fall asleep as a family in our cavernous bedroom, the moon shining light onto her skin as she lays beside me holding onto my chest.
