Taylor's POV
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5WkDtJ6HVH
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzHO2sUA3Z
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jl5j7ImE2
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NOQRi5H8o
"I think, a room with an en-suite even just for a week would be perfect" he says to me and I smile.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk76M5LKGkQ
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiikUKIZsZS
"Does Matthew know?" He asks softly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJp4mQxI84
"No but he'll be okay" I say sure of myself.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUBsCDIylT
"You sure" he asks me and I look up at him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhX6LF8NA4A
"I'm sure" I say to him and I give him a small hug.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSETIx5T0P
Disengaging myself from him I sigh and hold onto bump.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNsXBEzE5j
"I'm sorry Taylor" he explains and I look up at him, confused.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOe3myvD3Y
"It's just I know this would have caused you stress and you're like pregnant" he says and I smirk.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3tY8mkwssZ
"Don't be so silly I was more worried about you" I say and I mean it.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy2xWBGK2T
"I'm such an idiot driving around and not paying attention to anything" he says frustrated.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrVzzAuMfH
"Oh no you don't, remember we focus on the here and now. Not the things we cannot change" I say feeling oddly philosophical.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D6fe8SF6F
"Yeah but" he begins and I shh him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxGsuON9Gcp
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYoEmXTSaiy
"What's the news" he asks a cheeky smile on his face.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aoK82g60d
"Well" I say softly appraising him and taking a seat whilst we wait for Jay.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H45Oa3mi7
"Matthew is with Olivia. Christopher is with Rachel" I say laughing slightly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtraRgAS3B
"Right who the hell is Christopher and what happened to Nate" he laughs.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQWE0nVLfB
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyhkJWOTA4
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSmOMgZtbS
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3m5IPESq34
"Honestly, how are you" he asks again.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ywBAMTxc6
I sob openly and he places an arm around my shoulder.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tMQ2JBTDR
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixxu0Ih9IU
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wnayAEjc7
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4kh5zBKHS
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8TkMM5Ikm
"We have all moved on from it now" I say softly and he shakes his head.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkHGzJvuFhs
"What's he doing with the nurse" he asks.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKWcFTRMGJ
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmJDptunAG
"He's being off. What a mess" he says laughing and I stroke his arm just once.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8tmxApoTXB
"What would you like me to cook later seen as it's your celebration meal" I ask him, changing the conversation.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOioTMmv5jx
"Hmmm you know you could make pretty much anything" he smirks.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8bxrydXUEH
"And I would be over the moon" he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXxsEuTMFV
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomyEcQP7wK
"Fajitas and burritos?" He smiles over at me.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGXL91m54Z
"Yes easy to make veggie options" I smile back at him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE7g2fF7k0j
"Hey can you drink?" I ask him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1RwUpe9wq
"Jay will let us know when he comes in with the forms" he smirks.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiFjj2urie
"I missed this" he says stroking my leg.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmOinivuxs
"I missed you being well" I tell him, he looks at me concerned.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIKEtNECUI
"I know" he whispers softly his hand moving up to my cheek. He strokes my face and then removes himself from my vicinity.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2mYHkn9JZj
"How's you and Jay" he asks cheekily, a grin spreading across his face.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVz7zTLDwvh
"We're great" I smile at him and he scoffs.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSwSbkUCVy
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNdyMHFw4f
He holds my hand briefly and then scoffs. I look up at him curiously.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBnkevi6Bl
"I had the engagement ring in the car" he laughs and I look up at him bemused.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8oJMResQNe
"Were you planning on placing it on somebody else's finger" I laugh and he smirks down at me.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmzpSkwyL8
"Hey shhhh" he says teasing.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeWmwarBXZo
"That's not fair" he laughs briefly looking at my engagement finger. My wedding band, JGS tattooed underneath it. My husband.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbtYKonNZa
"I'm happy if you are happy" he says softly and more seriously looking down at my lips.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLJ7dC4u5B
"Im very happy" I say softly and he sighs.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUI2caBYH5
"Mmm well isn't that always the way" he smirks.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4mwvcdhkL
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mu1IU30i4
"Where is my car anyhow?" He laughs and I can't help but to look up at him and chuckle.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBOq2YaBDL
"That's a question for Matty" I reply and he scoffs.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyw5TGqjM5N
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3itIMlWjQb
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrAurVwz8IL
"Hey careful" Ross says steadying me, holding onto my hips briefly as I stand up.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvDMZwGw4G
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFvLw0myKR
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsewS6XW5ap
"Sorry" I laugh wiping my eyes and they all chuckle slightly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUOh6Qan15
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P8zqfOjW7
"Olivia" I laugh.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToxq4cG4q4
"I promise you I'm not usually this emotional" I say defensively. She laughs slightly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExFtNWTPdY
"Honestly, Taylor you're pregnant it's fine" she comments and I smirk.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Up4xfrKVz
"So we've decided" I say looking at them both.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFxek8oler
"A celebration dinner tonight at mine, I'll be making veggie fajitas and chicken fajitas" I say smiling and Matty nods.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcKTcwNK9a
"Sounds nice to me" Olivia says and I smile at her warmly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwnPexeZ4l
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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36V3dsvfHf
"Your hair always looks wonderful" she reciprocates the comment.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3cc5nRh0pD
"Jay did my hair this morning" I laugh and Matty smirks.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QBhsjDX5y
"Yes, something for you to tease him with." I smirk back winking briefly at Matty.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSGFK07OO4
"Tease who with what" Jay enters laughing and I smirk at him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopgTbff3vO
"Here we go dude, I tried to sign them for you but the women gave me a filthy look" he laughs.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23H9YelSEe
"Prescription is for pain meds, no drinking sorry" he laughs.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVlwccXdR3
"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.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEI8hrrXOOM
"Taylor needs help dressing and everything and what can I say I'm more than happy to oblige" he smirks.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYUorJcBRQ
"Missed my calling should have been a hairdresser" he laughs and Olivia snickers.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1qlv5ptU6
"Darling we're hosting a party tonight" I say looking up at him, he laughs.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjBLlQEE6l
"Are we now" he smirks and I kiss him.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MprQsHxFI
"Yes to celebrate Ross being out" I say and he nods.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq6JbRptRzt
"Don't worry I'll be cooking" I tell him my hands resting on his chest.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZBt9lqYaw
"Mmm okay" he says softly and I kiss him again.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZTwZ9LXuD
I look over at Ross signing his forms and smile from ear to ear.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHrQvmpmMt
"So I can now actually leave hospital" he says laughing and Jay claps him on the back.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcA5AelYNhT
"No more accidents mate" Matthew says and I smile at him looking away quickly as Olivia stares me down just briefly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ozL2QoOha
"Well done Ross" I say hugging him briefly.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVbx9KtEVZ
"I always knew you'd make it" Matthew laughs and I smile up at Ross.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIGF0dJ4hy
"I'm very happy that I get to leave with all of you" he says softly and I wipe my eyes.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxWtIwAVoF
"Okay stop now, if you want me to make you all dinner instead of crying all night long" I smile, wiping my eyes.
26Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvefnbd0Cfa
Jay takes my hand in his own and we leave walking behind the others.
