Taylor's POV
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uqCKXsA1N
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQtQsvU1uc
"The fact that you can feel pain, is actually a good thing" Matthew says.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLVlbvKE96z
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6T1SzgWpq
"How are you" he says looking up at me.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvKPGaAs7H
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FSRbWG6z8
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xJCMJhxcK
"Where is Jay" he asks.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmvLIp3cbCD
"He's on a business trip to Dubai" I reply softly stroking Ross' hair back.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFYVZxcwV5
"Business trip" he scoffs.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlJ3OfEKsY
"It's an important one" I tell him.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDAoVzEHps
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeV9nTVTCP
"I thought" I sob and he shh's me.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGosiffQw8
"I thought you might have fatally hurt yourself Ross" I say sobbing again.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9HZxZqTdF
"I know, I know" Ross says softly as there's a rap at the door.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZpVVMOJ6g
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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsyUM3q9Hd
"Breakfast" Matthew says to me and I face him.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GaskVOHpL
"Here" he says handing me an egg muffin.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0YfXBzrVr
"Are you making sure that Taylor is okay" Ross says softly.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN8S28nnTT
"Of course" Matthew says sitting down next to me.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11ShzUPJdt
"Jay wanted to hire professional bodyguards" he jokes and Ross scoffs.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7Wv4OaC7w
"It must be important to leave you for a few days with this one" Ross laughs eyeing up Matty with disapproval.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVabCMFu1sS
"He's alright, he cooked dinner last night" I chuckle and I stroke Matty's arm.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmYoWMSpsSD
"He's pretty good isn't he" Ross laughs looking at me.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIkBj4DYCD
"He cooked a lot at mine" Ross clarifies chuckling.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9iAHJttUqx
"It was a lovely steak" I say looking over at Matty.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG82kDP7u7
The room goes quiet, and I glance up at Olivia as she fills out some form, the door swings again.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3gXr0om3Z
"Brace yourself" Matty whispers as Rachel makes her entrance.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgxb3PTW7Rs
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdREU2WSD8
"Want half of mine" I ask her giving her a hug.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLFWcyZdLe
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEo99b1wA7
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuXtyefyJZP
"Mhmmm he's great at hugs" Rachel smirks laughing and I wink at her.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIJVk1BqrH
"Oh hey by the way this one" Rachel laughs pointing at me whilst talking to Ross.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh7FgnBEql
"She believes she has a psychic connection to you through her dreams" she laughs and I swat her.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfup4VtQiS5
"Honestly" I say smiling.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDt5bKXqTl
"When you had your accident, we were off grid, no cells, no internet. And I had a dream" I say to Ross.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTuem0wUgj
"She had a dream" Rachel repeats sarcastically.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hzEqDBAq3
"Shhh you" I laugh.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3onUsQCkor
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqjPzrolEgo
I stand up and look into Ross' eyes, stroke his face and his eyes water.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYjdf0w0JB
"I needed you" he whispers.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaRah8ALOo
"I'm here" I say and the nurse watches me completely abashed.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfq0rJYl4j
"Stop it, going to throw up" Rachel laughs.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzZif1oTCG
"Don't waste the food I sacrificed for you" Matty laughs.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWlXHsePrQ
"So, Matty you're looking after Taylor" Rachel laughs, probing.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiM1GaogZi
"I'm making sure it's all okay, yeah" he stutters.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhrMUslrwj
"Jay is a bit of a dick, come on asking that of you" she laughs and I sit down.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGeM4T0Euw
"Not at all" Matthew says.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKKwaNkLba
"I'm happy to do the job" he says softly.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDctzvWzgR
"I'll bet you are, pretending to be together again are you" she smirks.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4Gkqd4sbv
"No" both me and Matty say at once and she laughs.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5XinvoOXw
"Rachel why are you in such a mood today and where is Nate" Matthew jibes at her.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtq0t53VgQ0
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUdZb6XhyM
"Oh and Matthew why are you in such a good mood this fine morning" she jibes back.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfAzCGJtbhK
"Stop it" I smirk at her.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvObNY5ArwO
"Nothing is going on here" I say softly.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapPecg6HMo
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAkDbfbXBx
"Right Ross" she says finally.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufZp4mAfeX
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G44UrzBal
"That's amazing" I say smiling.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUdfHdSHrH
"Where is the new suite, get you" Rachel asks and I sigh.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiOEW4Sfzw
"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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn99O9NXK5l
"Thank you" Ross says to Olivia and I smile at him.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LWfsdngkL
"Not at all." She says curtly.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLj23cXRYzF
“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.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuPb8xx6b0z
Matthew strokes my thigh and stands leaving the room. I nod to Rachel and she laughs.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9f1R1tBIB
“See” I say softly a small smile on my lips.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32dewI3O78
“What he’s donking my nurse?” Ross laughs.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQOo8sywNb
“Hope so” I laugh back.
