Taylor's POV

"I'm telling you" he smiles at me in bed as I stroke his hair back. He opened the terrace doors which overlook the pool and the sea beyond, because we both woke up very warm.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsOWGfA3pF
"This baby has grown infinitesimally" he laughs his hands rubbing bump. Both palms going over me.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3C4wnSJO2W
"I know" I smile back at him, waiting for the little kicks.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLFUhUK0GK
"Today I'm going to take you to a lemon grove" he announces smiling rubbing me still; no little kicks.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8cxjOPo05
"Lemons are pretty much a speciality in the amalfi coast" he smiles as I stroke his hair again and his jaw.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5aw0mJeAp9
"We can even purchase some limoncello" he smiles.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTtmvkP222z
"Taylor" Jay says dipping my chin up to his as I stare at bump waiting, I can feel the breeze rustle through the doors and I cling onto bump. Slight worry setting in.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsc96h4At7
"Mhmmm" I respond, trying to remain calm and wait for the kicks and jabs.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡax13VaPiaV
"Can you put your hands there again" I ask him and he looks at me; concerned by my tone.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfouCX4RaQL
"It's just" I say softly. He sweeps his hands over Henry and I feel nothing.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡynUOpD0Z8w
"There's no movement this morning" I say panicking. He kisses me softly and then stands to grab the pamphlets straight away. Pulls his phone from on the side and dials the number on the contact form for advice.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDogIiwm0v
Once the call connects he calmly explains our concern and nods waiting. He watches me whilst he's on hold.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ip1QgGXhh
"Hi" he greets the person on the other side of the line. He explains my concerns and waits for a response. Distantly I can hear a female voice.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmFrPX94O62
"Yes, general health is good, checkup was last week too" he explains.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs7SCMdfvh
"We most certainly will try all of those" he says calmly.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCVz5Z3TeQ
"Would you mind ? That would be fantastic" he adds softly.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNperv0IVel
"Of course" he says thanking the midwife and ending the call.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbdDEe1wqNU
Placing his phone on the side he lays down next to me. Pulling me into him, with his arms around my hips.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCL7UJb3ea
"They say it's likely that baby has been moving all night long, and is resting. We should try ice cubes; or sweet food to wake him up" Jay says.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAh0XABwP3Z
"Or a short little burst of exercise" he smiles.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOq0mF62yi
"Let's do them all" I say to him getting up. I do a few little jumps on the spot, looking like an absolute fool whilst he heads down to the kitchen for ice.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEdRA2bdIhW
I hold onto my bump the entire time he's gone.
Trying to not let the panic and anxiety take over me. Tears roll down my cheeks as I wait for him feeling numb but jumping up and down either way.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhaV3raj6C
"It's super cold" he says coming back into the room with a glass of ice cold water.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOginuvv3j
I take a sip and he kisses my forehead, wiping my eyes.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt5utw5WO3
"Darling" he says softly.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuTpFTJHwR
"You are going to be just fine" he says and his hands hold onto bump. I drink the water swallowing as he rubs bump slowly whilst looking into my eyes. A soft and caring expression on his face.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgztxq44SH
He glances down at Henry, moves his hands down and bends in front of me in just his boxers.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFEu3tpmlv
"Hey sleepyhead" he whispers to bump and I smile as Henry jabs, a strong kick which I couldn't miss.
He glances up at me a smile on his lips.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeKSOgfIaL
I continue drinking the cold water, it's actually pretty refreshing. Henry jabs a little more, and I smile down at Jay who is still on his knees.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhANGYz5yra
"Were you just a sleepy baby" he says softly and my eyes cry happy tears as I watch him. Henry goes wild for Jays voice and I smile.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NHRjWCAOh
"I'm going to hold you when you're sleeping" he smiles and I wipe my eyes.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wZnrxq28J
"You know they say you should put them down when they sleep" I say and Jay looks up at me a wry smile on his lips.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLrxbiGqUr
"Mummy says no, but we can have sleepy cuddles" he smirks looking at my tummy.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD08mUwqjBK
He kisses my tummy and I play with his hair again.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXotv4q1fJd
"Let's make sure we don't worry mummy again, by having long sleeps" he says softly and then stands up, taking the water from me which I've finished.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQqzOJaqxB
"I love you" I whisper and he smiles.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLrWHZbO1I
"I love you" he says.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvJP7sUfKRn
"Now let's get everything checked anyways, everything is okay but just to ease your mind" he says softly, stroking my hair back.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeIkcm1wj0
"Plus I would like to see my boy" he says softly kissing me.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3Y8cQT6Qc
"In Italy" I ask, melting into his touch.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdsj0Af72R
"Yes the midwife will email me the details of a private clinic, we can also have a 3d scan there too" he suggests and I smile up at him.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9btMxE5g6
"Jay you're already the best daddy ever" I say softly.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnzkxvD4ww
"Did you see how worried you were; you're the best mother ever. Plus what kind of husband would I be if I didn't sort out all of our worries and take care of everything." He kisses me guides me to the shower.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CUlWcnVP7
Pulling off my slip he turns the shower on and I walk in ahead of him. He stands under the water with me and kisses me slowly and passionately.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYviDtsioN
"Hey, do you remember that shower we shared in my dorm room" I laugh and he scoffs.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtsd7Gmiam
"Horrifying" he says, he used to complain endlessly about the university shower. He negotiated that I should come and move in with him purely for the need of having a decent shower.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWvtXZYTVh
"Look at us now; married, pregnant and in a fancy shower that's almost the size of that entire university bedroom" I laugh.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr0FbQYPx7
"You know" he whispers turning me around and letting the water stream down my back.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lARogc55S
"I used to think about all of this back then" he whispers.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz3YB3jIgJm
"Babies and fancy showers, with you as my wife" he smirks.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5HA6R5LSz
"Ohh really" I ask him and he turns me back to him.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8aSKLlKVi
"Yes really" he smiles.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1b8iLY5DK
"And that reminds me actually; baby shower, mum has been going on about dates" he says water dripping down his slick hair.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnt2Te1QUH
"I can't wait" I tell him.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPYzgv6WB9Q
"I'll give you her number and you can plan" he explains as he turns the shower off and grabs towels for us.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡql8FNPg1S4
Jay wraps me up in a towel and I follow him back through to the bedroom. It's not an en suite; this is a traditional building with large rooms and high ceilings. Ornate architecture rather than clean lines. It's rich in colour with terracottas and oranges and warm ivory walls. I follow him down the hall and head into the large bedroom.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Q8Ou54FV8
The ceiling reaches high, and the terrace outside has vines and flowers trailing around the balcony. The bedroom features an ornate bed, which is adorned with white crisp linens. The walls are a warm ivory and there's a traditional dresser with an oval mirror.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRE0StTVWoA
I dress in some white shorts and a black off the shoulder top and sit in front of the mirror drying my hair out. Finally I apply a little bit of makeup; blush, lipstick and some mascara.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZTx4GD21A5
"You don't need makeup" he whispers looking at me through the mirror.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXrhPgYTWs
"You're glowing" he smiles.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2j0mxvCvB
He massages my shoulders and I look up at him.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfppFMbHPT
"All booked" he says softly kissing my neck.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJuzxGuSkXs
"I'll drive us after breakfast in the Mazda" he laughs, and I swat him.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9mLl6u4QZ
“Maserati, Mazda same thing!” I laugh and he chuckles.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkN9YR9Fdd
"I'm gonna go make us eggs and toast" he smiles and then kisses me before he leaves. His stare lingering on me before he goes.
