Taylor's POV
39Please respect copyright.PENANAotbC1ofnAc
It's kind of like waking up with a hangover, but without the fond memories of dancing all night long and sipping Prosecco. Only the leftover misery and sadness lingers from being emotional and worried, all night long.

I feel for Henry straight away when I wake up looking through the voiles out at the searing Californian heat. My hands going around bump and stroking, his little kicks, and movements reassuring me instantly.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA6XPHRDgmMB
Glancing over at Jay, I stroke his face and his hair. Moving in closer to his chest I kiss him. And he begins to stir. I take his hands and place them on bump whilst he's still waking up. Henry reacts jabbing away and I smile. Half way through pregnancy I think to myself, looking over at Jay and imagining us in twenty or so weeks changing diapers.

"Morning" he says in his southern drawl.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyaPFo39jEI
I chuckle and he opens his eyes, hands still cradling bump.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiQgpZpNXRk
"Good morning" I say softly and he smiles at me.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAiEEsZyGiSj
"You don't know how good it is to hear you say that" he says chuckling.
39Please respect copyright.PENANApUNtItHGLX
"My baby and my wife" he mutters just before kissing me.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAtz2G9e2Org
Getting lost in his kisses I climb on top of him, he smirks whispering in my ear that he's missed waking up like this.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA3qUK7z4QuE
With his boxers pulled slightly down, I manage to work him into me instantly, intending on giving him the ride of his life.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7w0LdH1sMR
With Jay it's always pure passion, he never leaves out any part of my body. His hands are everywhere and I gasp and moan as he lifts me up and places me down on my back. Hiking my leg up and moving into me more forcefully.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUEaFnXiyRO
"God Jay" I shout out and he smiles his eyes watching me the entire time.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAnWlnQLlhmX
"Good girl" he whispers as I unravel underneath him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAktvPHinHOW
"I love you" he whispers in my ear.
39Please respect copyright.PENANALJqjfDJwpV
"I won't ever leave you" he adds.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ2bnZbu15
He kisses me for a long time afterwards, not moving off of me. Keeping his arms wrapped around me and his lips locked in my own.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAAj761Mr70V
"You know" he says softly breaking the kisses for a moment.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAd6d1hbSR9B
"We have a honeymoon to finish" he smiles. I smile back at him instantly, but Ross? I need to be here for Ross my mind tells me. I squash that thought and focus on Jay and what he is saying to me.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGcfrYQOxTx
"Where would you like to go" he ventures and I gaze into his eyes. He needs to be away from Matthew, and he also wants me away from him too.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA1NsEi4tZGr
"We could go to Australia, back to Tasmania, Aspen? Anywhere Taylor" he says fingertips on my face stroking.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAyhPgzSUleI
"Although" he says slowly looking down at bump and smiling.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcLNOGsps9K
"It might be worth sticking to places with accessible healthcare" he laughs.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9NS8BhQvM1
"How about somewhere entirely new" I say to him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAsyFzduDf7v
"Greece or Italy" I suggest and he grins. Jay is a traveller at heart, he loves being in new places. Seeing new things and experiencing different cultures.
39Please respect copyright.PENANACZQJqbfXDy
"The Amalfi coast" he smiles, and he gets that sparkle in his eyes before he kisses me.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA7aTvMBQqpr
"Think of all the pizza and pasta" he laughs and I can't help it I laugh along with him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAp0bmxUSAL8
"Tonight" he presses me and this escalated quick.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA77L1XjG5MO
I smile up at him and he won't move off of me until I give him what he wants, until I let him whisk me away again.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAT9Xvau2ZyL
"We can be dining by the coast tonight" he says smirking.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAMQEBJE9WUv
"Jay" I say softly and he watches me, intently.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAJPMzoSdEfo
"Shall we go the hospital, check on Ross first and then decide" I say reining him in.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAy1N2iBXpmh
"Of course" he says to me and it wasn't the right answer.
39Please respect copyright.PENANATsevIov9l1
"Taylor" he says slowly, and his grin disappears. He moves off of me propped up on his elbow, looking down at me and bump.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAzz83uNlApN
"You do want to go away with me don't you?" he asks slowly and I pull him back into me.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAGt9uJ6a8y1
"Yes of course I do" I smile and he kisses me.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAFNwQ9vgWRB
"I just want to make sure that Ross is okay recovery wise" I admit looking into his eyes.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAcZtQPFKHvm
"And this has nothing to do with Matthew?" he asks and I flinch slightly.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAE5ry0BZ4v3
I lay on my back and I can't help it I just cry. Because this is my fault, and because I know this will have a lasting impact on our relationship.
39Please respect copyright.PENANATvneCMAC45
"No this has nothing to do with Matthew" I say slowly.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAR6fbXYpiNt
"I'm sorry" he says and his arms go around me.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAX9zhuu5z4J
"That wasn't fair. I just got worried. I'm sorry" he explains. He looks down at me and I see the little cracks in his composure, the insecurities. The problems I have caused.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAa2uoQ0qpCK
"This isn't going to just go away" I say slowly.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAxcbLlhmQ1f
"No, I'm sorry Jay, this is my fault" I say and I wipe my eyes.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA2bWAO4MP9P
"I can assure you this has nothing to do with Matthew" I say softly looking up at him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAUgWZB4IQmc
"Here's the plan" I say stroking his face whilst his hands are on my hips. Jay needs direction, he needs things to be moving and then he is okay.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAPG5QPTm99w
"We go to the hospital, check in on everything. And then we book for tomorrow morning. Plus we have to pack" I smile at him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAZJUqPugo6U
"That sounds like a perfect plan" he smiles.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAME0pVCubxo
I stand up off of the bed and he follows me into the bathroom. We have a large en suite. The walls are a grey marble, with spotlights which highlight the classic bathtub. He turns the taps on and the water starts flowing into the bath.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAhMCMvqPdGu
"I'm going to grab us some breakfast from downstairs and we're going to bath together" he says kissing my lips.
39Please respect copyright.PENANA9d0Ig8Uaia
"Another perfect plan" I tell him.
39Please respect copyright.PENANAadfrkGtsWZ
Once he's left the bathroom, after holding onto me for a fraction longer than he normally would. I begin to feel better about the whole situation. I plan the bikinis I'm going to take away with me and imagine us in a jacuzzi or strolling through the winding little streets of Italy. I start to think that maybe we could begin to repair this. It is my duty to make this work, to take the little pieces I have shattered inside of him and begin to place them back together. And perhaps I can just build him up again, and give him enough reason to trust me; all over again.
