Taylor's POV
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5270krKLc
"It's okay, I'm here" I'm telling ross, stroking his hair back. He was so calm yesterday, the medication is wearing off and it's left him in a state of despair. Worrying about his legs, suffering from flashbacks of the accident and feeling the pain.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwWi7NVNeC
"The fact that you can feel pain, is actually a good thing" Matthew says.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51FIZdZj2s
"Means that your nerves are all working" we tell him together. I hold onto him, I will not let him go. He looks up at me with glassy eyes. His hand holding onto my own.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnQ9jCh56t
"How are you" he says looking up at me.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOxNdm4xhU
"I'm great, baby is moving now" I say to him and he smiles. I place his hand, avoiding all of the wires running up his arm, on bump and feel the little kicks.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGTqU6HF8y
"That's incredible" he smiles softly. He holds onto me and the baby jabs at him, it makes me chuckle and he laughs smiling up at me.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡziVJmj8ueH
"Where is Jay" he asks.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukz9wCO77c
"He's on a business trip to Dubai" I reply softly stroking Ross' hair back.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBys225cg6e
"Business trip" he scoffs.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2OAYrHgcj
"It's an important one" I tell him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrAfDztduJ
"Hey I'm sorry" he says softly looking into my eyes as I start crying in front of him. Matty rubs my back and I wipe my tears away.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVeZBi8Yt8Y
"I thought" I sob and he shh's me.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUqXOL32nD
"I thought you might have fatally hurt yourself Ross" I say sobbing again.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrC2b0SiFMD
"I know, I know" Ross says softly as there's a rap at the door.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRexuQRs1h
Matthew goes to attend to the knock and I stand staring at Ross; tears in both of our eyes. I missed you he mouths to me and I mouth it back to him not breaking his eye contact. The nurse is back, just when Matthew thought that he was off the hook. She begins filling out charts an air of importance about her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28MXuUZwr1
"Breakfast" Matthew says to me and I face him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgN7eOu5eSC
"Here" he says handing me an egg muffin.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIsGPcvX3U
"Are you making sure that Taylor is okay" Ross says softly.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBq1nooM0d
"Of course" Matthew says sitting down next to me.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgyPRsoFiUZ
"Jay wanted to hire professional bodyguards" he jokes and Ross scoffs.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTb2XZvQQZ
"It must be important to leave you for a few days with this one" Ross laughs eyeing up Matty with disapproval.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rYIFbC4n4
"He's alright, he cooked dinner last night" I chuckle and I stroke Matty's arm.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVWsAssieTJ
"He's pretty good isn't he" Ross laughs looking at me.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNURUDk0TID
"He cooked a lot at mine" Ross clarifies chuckling.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuixJlI0KG
"It was a lovely steak" I say looking over at Matty.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3RLgTLtaKG
The room goes quiet, and I glance up at Olivia as she fills out some form, the door swings again.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS3gCWNnGJI
"Brace yourself" Matty whispers as Rachel makes her entrance.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz72OkAW1vg
"I just have to say I'm not impressed that you didn't get me any breakfast" Rachel huffs swinging her pink jacket over her shoulder. I glance at her and stand up smiling.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRvyq4JOR48
"Want half of mine" I ask her giving her a hug.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylqMFXngJG
"Oh lord no, I am not taking food off of a pregnant woman. Matthew ?" She says demanding his breakfast. I laugh and hug him, I can't help it. He hands over his sandwich to her and the whole room eyes my arms around him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bThgN6deS
"Hey, I can't help it I'm emotional okay, you nearly died on me. And I'm full of hormones, I need hugs okay" I laugh wiping my eyes.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ8KBsIFGs
"Mhmmm he's great at hugs" Rachel smirks laughing and I wink at her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbxAPiR4cM
"Oh hey by the way this one" Rachel laughs pointing at me whilst talking to Ross.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQ0EHtzI5n
"She believes she has a psychic connection to you through her dreams" she laughs and I swat her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpcN2NfHA2
"Honestly" I say smiling.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuFUcmRyID
"When you had your accident, we were off grid, no cells, no internet. And I had a dream" I say to Ross.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9b1nSTK9I3
"She had a dream" Rachel repeats sarcastically.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AbG9trgwB
"Shhh you" I laugh.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKeztXEJLTQ
"I dreamt that you needed me, you were in pain. And I made Jay fly us by private jet to the local town because I was that sure something had happened to you" I say looking at him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKkC0V75Tx
I stand up and look into Ross' eyes, stroke his face and his eyes water.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtCkmIe48b
"I needed you" he whispers.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2cGTUdlVu
"I'm here" I say and the nurse watches me completely abashed.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYbVrCnKV7
"Stop it, going to throw up" Rachel laughs.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgOrIJykU3
"Don't waste the food I sacrificed for you" Matty laughs.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1owlbItJn
"So, Matty you're looking after Taylor" Rachel laughs, probing.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1MZlInnII
"I'm making sure it's all okay, yeah" he stutters.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡic2PJS93Pw
"Jay is a bit of a dick, come on asking that of you" she laughs and I sit down.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqyNE1pLPs
"Not at all" Matthew says.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYQyb9g04J
"I'm happy to do the job" he says softly.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5Sl9j3ZDO
"I'll bet you are, pretending to be together again are you" she smirks.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIC1uIkfE2k
"No" both me and Matty say at once and she laughs.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOGt4h0dwo
"Rachel why are you in such a mood today and where is Nate" Matthew jibes at her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlnkzQW7HQ
"I'm not in a mood, just reading the room. Nate is actually with his family out of town. Something he didn't invite me too" she rolls her eyes.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUATnUBt5tq
"Oh and Matthew why are you in such a good mood this fine morning" she jibes back.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNDtEj4726
"Stop it" I smirk at her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlVTvaEAv4k
"Nothing is going on here" I say softly.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VDfVxHcYb
"I'm watching you Henderson" she says looking at Matthew. His second name is Henderson, it suits him. The nurse places her pen on the board and stares at him briefly. She tightens her ponytail and puts on a pair of specs that I haven't seen before.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC0Fr9LdEL
"Right Ross" she says finally.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6606tuO0AQ
"You're all good to be moved over to your private room. Your mother has paid extra for a private suite. There you will still be monitored, and provided with pain relief. Physio will be an option going forward, you may find daily activities hard. Don't push yourself, any help with stuff like getting dressed and support with walking, we're not expecting you to get up and go straight away. Remember your ribs, legs and arms need time to heal. Overall this is great news, congratulation's you survived the ICU" she smiles.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZbUJuaOD8
"That's amazing" I say smiling.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl42lqbmdr
"Where is the new suite, get you" Rachel asks and I sigh.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KwTjUkhT9
"It's on the other side of the hospital, the private side" Olivia explains graciously. She stares at Matthew and he pushes his hair away uncomfortably.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0vYlWSK9i
"Thank you" Ross says to Olivia and I smile at him.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEfxSQffuI
"Not at all." She says curtly.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzy7aczamIu
“I wish you all the best in your recovery” she says and then she removes herself from the room.
I wipe my eyes and grab for my phone, pulling up my messages and sending one to Jay. I explain how Ross is being moved from ICU and that things are looking better. I tell him how much I miss him and love him. I sign it off with kisses and my name.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKE4nUwRi4
Matthew strokes my thigh and stands leaving the room. I nod to Rachel and she laughs.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3nmGXpJVAY
“See” I say softly a small smile on my lips.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpksFSXfQd
“What he’s donking my nurse?” Ross laughs.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOO4PdXW3k3
“Hope so” I laugh back.
