Taylor's POV
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokA2yKnwH6
I place my phone down face first and ignore it temporarily. Jay is sipping beer, and I'm trying to work out his body language. Since he hugged me in the hospital, he has removed himself from my vicinity.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaxIwVrvxHj
He watches me place my phone down and stares at me for a few seconds I'm cooking for us and usually he would be around me or on me in some way. Matthew has messaged me that he misses me and I can't encourage him.

"How was Dubai" I ask him softly, stirring the pot.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5XxqiYBMh
"It was actually fine, some of the board members remember me as a six year old" he laughs and I chuckle glancing up at him. He's staring at a collection of papers on the table. He stands, stretches and heads on over to me slowly. Putting his arms around my waist and holding me close. I savour the physical contact.

"Matty found time to draw you huh?" He asks slowly in my ear.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7G9H9QsTO
I gulp slightly, not even realising where the drawing had been left. It's a wonderful portrait, of my whole entire body and it must be on the dining table. This looks bad, but of course that's not even the entirety of it.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsn2SPoBbnB
"Matty drew me" I say slowly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpBwZSNwNqu
"What else did Matty find time to do?" He asks slowly kissing my ear and I'm confused. Is he annoyed? Or is he turned on? Who knows?
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPaSps3Ff5
"Jay I ugh, need to say" I begin slowly and he pulls me closer, standing behind me.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvcXob01vU9
"Oh Taylor, I want you to understand and be very clear on what I'm about to say." He says whispering.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAvtegz6JO
I nod slowly his hand holding onto bump.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1vaQNB37b
"I'm sure that something happened. Absolutely positive. But you are my wife, you are to be honest with me. And then we can find a solution here" he whispers and I can't look at him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLchyTEDTLB
I spill the beans, and I don't cry or whine or pretend I'm blameless. I don't blame the pregnancy hormones, I don't even blame Matthew. I blame myself. The whole entire thing comes out, the shower, the picture and Matthew "thanking" me. He looks down at the floor the entire time, and I just keep going.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj44Poqq4q2
"He slept in our bed" he asks softly coming to stand behind me.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0C6b7BBNd
"Jay" I say and he shh's me.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKyZ6Ew3i7
"He saw you completely naked?" He asks.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAuZ3UQLPfq
"That's a yes" he says pulling the picture out of his pocket.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOHu9tr1dV
He steps back and puts the picture on the side. I can't read him, at all. His body language is too calm.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlfFcJYdAq
"It's beautiful" he says running his hands through his hair. Just the slightest hint of frustration.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuahYsD7Kup
"Why?" He says lounging back on the counter, arms folded over his chest as if he's asking me about something trivial like what's for desert or what the weather will be like tomorrow.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ1ZeeSQyn
"Did he have sex with you" he asks not letting me answer.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYnU3ZACNU
"No, just what I told you" I reply instantly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1GYT1ryYr
"Taylor so help me God, no lies. I can take this shit, I've done it to enough women in my time. Granted not ones I had been married too. But I will not take lies." He says and he's adamant.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h7ZI4k3sa
"No he just slept in bed with me." I say. The pot boils over and I remove it from the hob.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7Iv2ndn6X
He watches me for a few seconds, just evaluating as if he has a lie detector over my head.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLEtz71Mgm
"He came to the scan, and after that he asked me to leave with him. Which is totally crazy." I begin slowly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexZCW69wWc
"Well not totally you had been in bed with him, sex or no sex" he says and I wince.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRDx9GUwPc
He sighs and pushes his hands through his hair.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBC25DJfx0Y
"But why Taylor" he asks softly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk85q85gvqJ
He walks over and stands facing me again.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNQBlAZNal
"Am I not enough for you, is this not enough for you" he asks holding onto bump.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvOryRkxYH
"Yes you are, this is everything to me" I say softly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnybRgBY9G
"I was gone for a few days, Tay" he whispers and I cry.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTt2HqdvXNT
"I told my father that we would fly over together next time. But only if baby is okay" he says looking down at bump. And I'm sure that he's gone into shock.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXbDbPq8m9
"I spent the entire time imagining you there with me" he says.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNvapPcqiO
"The whole time" he says.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMuxTNG2G9W
"I'm sorry" I say and I cup his face in my hands.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQLyeSM6la
He looks at me briefly, and then shakes his head unbelieving. I remove my hands from his face.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5rg0IaO7M
"This never ever happens again" he says looking down at bump.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLW73UkugC
"I want you to text Matthew right now" he says and he's all business, emotion removed from his expression.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4MhOJ70WC
"I'm sure he's been messaging you all evening. Tell him I know. And there is to be no fighting." he mutters.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqRmP7xe6M
"Oh and tell him, never will he be around you alone again" he says.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDxnt03vx9
I look up at him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBn5ZbrRM4
"Got it" I tell him wiping my eyes. He passes me my iPhone and I unlock it. Opening up our chat and typing out the message. He watches me press send and I place the phone down. Not wanting to see Matty's response.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5u5TpF19Rq
I look up into his eyes and he watches mine intently.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MpHz0gd5U
"Taylor" he whispers.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qz2Mzlbnk
"Jay" I say softly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV70FvFK7t8
"I love you with everything I've got. This is final, no more. Okay we're not doing this again. We will have our children and then some more and grow old together" he says looking at me tears running down his cheeks.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kFr5jIZrW
"If you feel something for him though now is the time to admit it" he says and how can I possibly explain this to him. Matthew was my future until fate twisted things. I've told Matthew that I love him, I erase the moment from my mind.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3JtZ4RBhR
"I love you, Jay" I look up at him, and I do love him. I'm surprised he hasn't shouted. But he hasn't not even once. He's a better man than I am a wife.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AV4xEoxq7
"I love you and our baby. Not Matthew" I say softly. He watches my eyes assessing me; finally throwing caution to the wind and wrapping his arms around me. Breathing me in and resting his hands on bump.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGV5oqh8a1
My phone illuminates on the side and I wince slightly ignoring it.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbwxKDovGcE
"Check it" he says slowly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFY76M6GOf
I pull the messages up and read. He's just asking whether I'm okay. He's concerned and he's worried. About me. Not himself.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD81JjVIj4
"He's just said are you okay and do you want me to come over" I tell Jay.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvqa3rcuXt
He scoffs laughing slightly. Pushes his hair back and wipes his face, as I type out that I'm fine and that he doesn't need to worry.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRG8z9tc0D
"Now" he says softly kissing me, I’m sure that he’s gone into shock. I suppose he is acting normally around me, but inevitably there is this distance.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA1AT6bQVU2
"We've made a mess of this food" he laughs.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRM9bdJPbN
"Let's order and eat in bed" he suggests and I smile weakly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3HwMev7EfK
He walks away from me and calls up the pizza place for a delivery. I empty the pans into the bin and set up the dishwasher. Silently. Glancing at the picture just temporarily and placing it back on the table, under a mound of paperwork. I wipe my eyes and tell myself this is all just a consequence of my own selfish behaviour. I take a seat at the table the dishwasher whirring behind me and place my head in my hands.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmvg43Iwvj
"Tay" he says from the doorway and I wipe my face.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJaenRn7YJW
"Mhmm" I manage.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64ELQND2nv
He comes to stand behind me. I feel his hands first on my shoulders as he massages me.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk595o0o3c
"No don't cry, it's over now" he says as I sob. How is he comforting me? It should be me comforting him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyxtcCd274
"I'm so sorry" I tell him facing the other way still.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmA1v6QGH2a
"Marriage is about making things work” he says softly. He turns me around to face him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvJJiQ2u36
“I couldn’t leave you even if I tried” he whispers.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzlEr1dvCo
He pulls me up and I just stare at him, his shirt off and his hair pulled back. The love I feel for him intensifies, I feel it more than ever before. The dependency I have worries me, and I begin to imagine him leaving. I kiss him, all but smothering him with kisses. He just forgave me, for doing something that was unforgivable. I cry and kiss him, everywhere.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYdyHGEbPA
"Darling" he says raspy and I look up at him.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bRlm9uEbb
"I love you, I'm sorry" I whisper.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjtTnrJPyW
“I’m so sorry” I tell him, and I think I’ve gone into shock or some kind of emotional hysteria. I pull him into me and he yields to me. Slowly I feel the tension ease off from his body. The way he was holding onto his jaw trying not to cry, his fists clenched and his body language held back. Eventually he lets go, and I pull him under with me.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLpSLhMIIK8
I must know whether he feels anything for me anymore. I’m needy, and I can’t let him walk away from me again. I hold onto him and he gasps breathless, from our continuous kissing.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtg0CoS7WnP
He sits me on the table, his eyes watching me. I feel the heat behind them, and I watch him carefully. I decide he needs to have sex with me; he needs to take me. And there is nothing else I want more than him. I take off my clothes. And should he reject me, then so be it, I will understand. He stares at me, I have to know if he can still have sex with me. I just have to be sure that we haven't lost our attraction, our passion. I need to know if he can still touch me. And yes maybe it’s pretty early to test it out, considering my betrayal and the pain I have just caused. But if I know Jay, offering him my whole body, and heart for that matter is the ultimate apology.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdOPv0q8d8
He smirks and I smile up at him. Feeling my blood rush through my body as he accepts me putting his hands on me again. He thrusts into me instantly and his hands cradle bump.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnW6PJeq1tW
"I did that" he whispers in my ear.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkjE6ZT56R
"I put a baby in you" he says softly and I moan in his ear.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19dPUnNb4r
"It's bigger again" he chuckles.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3boLXZzVmB
"He's growing" I smile and he kisses me, telling me that he loves me.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1OiaDETLa
"I'm going to have to open the door for that pizza" he chuckles pushing my leg up.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnO8oNKgJh
"I want you, not pizza" I smirk laying back as he takes me.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYL2xcpozef
"I want you" he says slowly.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dTG4uuO20
"For the rest of my life, Taylor" he says as I lose myself.
33Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNxKKrKcro
"For the rest of our lives" I tell him.
