Taylor's POV
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9vt9SIHv8
"Let's be honest" I say softly to Ross. It's discharge day today at the hospital, I've helped him to pack his bags and he's had a shower and changed into normal clothes. Jay has gone to collect the documents from reception that Ross needs to sign.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHy6GDvzSKR
"I'm sure you're happy to be going home" I say softly. He looks up at me and stands up gingerly. I steady him with my hands and he smiles.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHke5X7YER
"The offer is there" I say to him. Jay and I have previously discussed this and we're happy for Ross to stay in one of our spare rooms, if he should so choose. Walking is still difficult, and it would be ideal for him to utilise the room with an en-suite. I'm not busy, and I'm happy to make sure that he eats until we leave. It would give Matty a break too. I would even be happy for him to stay there once we leave and travel back to Italy, but we'll discuss that as a couple closer to the time.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhH8f9jmA6
"I think, a room with an en-suite even just for a week would be perfect" he says to me and I smile.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2SMSGeT9w
"Say no more" I say, in all honesty I feel terribly guilty for what happened. That I wasn't here, and this is just my way of being here while I can still be of help.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTwV7CZRFO
"Does Matthew know?" He asks softly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdM2BdEhVz
"No but he'll be okay" I say sure of myself.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsko4VisKa
"You sure" he asks me and I look up at him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7B2wheHo8
"I'm sure" I say to him and I give him a small hug.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYfwUefeKXz
Disengaging myself from him I sigh and hold onto bump.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4z8h3k4Kb
"I'm sorry Taylor" he explains and I look up at him, confused.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMXPGKCpRc
"It's just I know this would have caused you stress and you're like pregnant" he says and I smirk.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AEZT2xyjb
"Don't be so silly I was more worried about you" I say and I mean it.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIRXHxYQND
"I'm such an idiot driving around and not paying attention to anything" he says frustrated.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt78QQ4i8gE
"Oh no you don't, remember we focus on the here and now. Not the things we cannot change" I say feeling oddly philosophical.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kpwIYJerW
"Yeah but" he begins and I shh him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8wnPPa1Ms
"You recovered and you're being discharged. I'm cooking tonight, we'll have everybody over to celebrate" I say to him, reassuring, smoothing my dress out.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdK273LLdx
"What's the news" he asks a cheeky smile on his face.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWqOtYoM8i
"Well" I say softly appraising him and taking a seat whilst we wait for Jay.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqz97Bs9Hl
"Matthew is with Olivia. Christopher is with Rachel" I say laughing slightly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadYpdL9HZW
"Right who the hell is Christopher and what happened to Nate" he laughs.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YM90DCGgW
"Christopher is actually really nice, she met him in the coffee shop downstairs. So think of it as a service, you've hooked your friends up with new partners" I say to him teasing.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCToHgPeWpV
"How are you" he says seriously, and I know that he knows everything. Matthew and the whole affair. I look down at bump and cradle him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHa4WnIo9v7
"Ross" I say softly and he stands coming over to me. Wearing a khaki T-shirt he tucks his blonde messy hair behind his ears. It's grown out, and his blue eyes assess my own. He takes a seat next to me on the sofa, and looks at me earnestly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7iZiA8eFJ
"Honestly, how are you" he asks again.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPgW6DkHHN
I sob openly and he places an arm around my shoulder.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1DTDRFppsN
"I thought you were a goner for a long time, I mean who the fuck survives two car accidents. One on a motorbike and the other being hit by a lorry" I say and he shh's me. I wipe my eyes and pull myself together.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSTHPPaXIv
"So I'm happy now, that you're okay Ross" I say softly. He strokes my arm just once and then puts his hand behind his back, stretching out and wincing slightly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX78qoOI3P
"There was no need for him to strike at that time" he says under his breath. I look up at him softly and he apologises.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm61VE58XYL
"Of course I know. What's wrong with him trying to get with you, when you were upset and feeling vulnerable. I love Matty but Jesus" he says.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhfZhBLtP9
"We have all moved on from it now" I say softly and he shakes his head.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrM4bRzYkMf
"What's he doing with the nurse" he asks.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pKRhXtORJ
"I don't know; I'll invite her later and you'll see what I mean when I say she is off" I say to him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkg5ty6YmS
"He's being off. What a mess" he says laughing and I stroke his arm just once.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAefCAmrfmo
"What would you like me to cook later seen as it's your celebration meal" I ask him, changing the conversation.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvch68RRx3P
"Hmmm you know you could make pretty much anything" he smirks.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBncx5dkcHK
"And I would be over the moon" he smiles.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3vGIIx1N6
"Oh she's veggie too" I groan, she is going to be judging my food to the extreme. But I will not cause a problem.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXppYfEJJZ
"Fajitas and burritos?" He smiles over at me.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGQGXTgGyY
"Yes easy to make veggie options" I smile back at him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlg12W7TRI
"Hey can you drink?" I ask him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv77QXKW6Q
"Jay will let us know when he comes in with the forms" he smirks.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpT6bnXErs
"I missed this" he says stroking my leg.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6aiaiHqet
"I missed you being well" I tell him, he looks at me concerned.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwK2iwCYlbl
"I know" he whispers softly his hand moving up to my cheek. He strokes my face and then removes himself from my vicinity.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgf5DUNCQU
"How's you and Jay" he asks cheekily, a grin spreading across his face.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtgKrULp3Ju
"We're great" I smile at him and he scoffs.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0g6znX55W
"What a dude" he laughs and I laugh along with him. He means forgiving me for almost sleeping with Matty again, but he won't say it out loud as he wouldn't want to upset me. Typical Ross.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxQRPwImqv
He holds my hand briefly and then scoffs. I look up at him curiously.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pZtA7z4dp
"I had the engagement ring in the car" he laughs and I look up at him bemused.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CBkuyKYur
"Were you planning on placing it on somebody else's finger" I laugh and he smirks down at me.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyZr3UI3PJ
"Hey shhhh" he says teasing.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWI6Nh77mzb
"That's not fair" he laughs briefly looking at my engagement finger. My wedding band, JGS tattooed underneath it. My husband.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dHfe1WdRh
"I'm happy if you are happy" he says softly and more seriously looking down at my lips.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd7EbOtd4D
"Im very happy" I say softly and he sighs.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7mRBubrz6
"Mmm well isn't that always the way" he smirks.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTWOf8dP0ZK
I place my hands over bump and look down at the floor instead of at the man who proposed to me just days before my wedding. The man who has been my best friend from the beginning.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SkN5OTLgS
"Where is my car anyhow?" He laughs and I can't help but to look up at him and chuckle.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFLlGsCJqLt
"That's a question for Matty" I reply and he scoffs.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fFm5PddUP
The door clicks and he shuffles over slightly wincing as he does. Matty enters, looking every bit Mr tall dark and handsome in his black leather jacket and jeans. I smile up at him and his eyes soften.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BmbJmDn5Y
Olivia follows in after him and I smile up at her, wearing a shirt and jeans, she looks like the ultimate tomboy. I avoid judgement of her outfit choice and instead stand up to hug the both of them.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOlCFGhyrRt
"Hey careful" Ross says steadying me, holding onto my hips briefly as I stand up.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgueHvABGqH
"I'm sorry I'm just happy that we're all you know." I say tripping over myself to get to Matty. I wrap my arms around him and he holds me back. I breathe in deeply and sigh, tears rolling down my cheeks.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0woeNol3PO
"Olivia" I say attempting to hug her, she puts her hands up in a gesture that says don't touch me. I respect her need to be distant and smile all the same. Matty's eyes baring down on me, I stand back and glance up at Ross.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WpJm476q4
"Sorry" I laugh wiping my eyes and they all chuckle slightly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dqQhl3GNH
"I saw my mum yesterday, and since then...my eyes are watery" I laugh and Ross rubs my back.
Matty eyes the gesture and looks away.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNWmZTZOVD
"Olivia" I laugh.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5degSZzKP
"I promise you I'm not usually this emotional" I say defensively. She laughs slightly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vbaFIh75Q
"Honestly, Taylor you're pregnant it's fine" she comments and I smirk.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJtiUmdJVV
"So we've decided" I say looking at them both.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUeWV4bWho
"A celebration dinner tonight at mine, I'll be making veggie fajitas and chicken fajitas" I say smiling and Matty nods.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhyqm6ru6X0
"Sounds nice to me" Olivia says and I smile at her warmly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVjeCvXNcCV
Her hair is curly today, and she's wearing a Smokey eye with nude lips. I tell her that I like what she's done with her hair and she smiles genuinely.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7ZNhlkTEa
"Your hair always looks wonderful" she reciprocates the comment.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWvPV9X40B
"Jay did my hair this morning" I laugh and Matty smirks.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAa2ROzRv9H
"Yes, something for you to tease him with." I smirk back winking briefly at Matty.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkkHaTPe4W1
"Tease who with what" Jay enters laughing and I smirk at him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMIk0Ukqhk
"Here we go dude, I tried to sign them for you but the women gave me a filthy look" he laughs.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EyGP8iRFh
"Prescription is for pain meds, no drinking sorry" he laughs.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaqrXf5w92
"Teasing you with the fact that you dried and styled my hair this morning" I say hugging him whilst he hands Ross the papers, pulling a pen out.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8JRsFFpHN
"Taylor needs help dressing and everything and what can I say I'm more than happy to oblige" he smirks.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeho3MWWi63
"Missed my calling should have been a hairdresser" he laughs and Olivia snickers.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fdvYWNNhY
"Darling we're hosting a party tonight" I say looking up at him, he laughs.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3cn5AnL0Z
"Are we now" he smirks and I kiss him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7j9EausYWz
"Yes to celebrate Ross being out" I say and he nods.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sXV9mbn1q
"Don't worry I'll be cooking" I tell him my hands resting on his chest.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWeZ7KsIOl
"Mmm okay" he says softly and I kiss him again.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulBOLIGr1v
I look over at Ross signing his forms and smile from ear to ear.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzS6paH2QN
"So I can now actually leave hospital" he says laughing and Jay claps him on the back.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqehNdoMOW
"No more accidents mate" Matthew says and I smile at him looking away quickly as Olivia stares me down just briefly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIlKe9fVkM
"Well done Ross" I say hugging him briefly.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fzpTCOme8
"I always knew you'd make it" Matthew laughs and I smile up at Ross.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc10gtyRC57
"I'm very happy that I get to leave with all of you" he says softly and I wipe my eyes.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UsfsBYbrF
"Okay stop now, if you want me to make you all dinner instead of crying all night long" I smile, wiping my eyes.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMxZSBmKZI
Jay takes my hand in his own and we leave walking behind the others.
