Jays POV
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwg4x8XOMm8
"Look at you" I whisper in Taylor's ear. We're in the water together her arms linked around my shoulders and neck. The pool lights on making her eyes glow looking up at me. I'm smiling down at her, my wife.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeExF3V462c
"Look at you" she smirks running her hands through my wet hair.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhc57B0iCza
"I like how you offered her a wetsuit" she says softly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ppy1kjbi2
"She didn't want to wear a bikini. So I figured" I tell her softly and she smiles up at me. That woman is more complicated than Matty can comprehend right now, I mean who knows what's happened or if anything has happened, I could just tell she felt uncomfortable and wanted to offer a solution. I am great at reading people.

"It was very sweet of you" Taylor whispers and I smile. I glance over at Olivia wearing my slightly baggy wetsuit, sitting in the pool next to Rachel.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF69lAr4aA6
I kiss Taylor slowly trying to ignore everybody else. My hands on her hips under the dark water.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSBIf8HJj2
"I can tell when somebodies uncomfortable" I smile.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oyKjQaIGS
"What did Matthew say upstairs" I say just coming out with it. I saw him walking up after her, he thinks he's sly but I see everything. She looks at me with a wry smile. Her hands rested on my chest.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8E4ft5AjO
"He asked me why I'm leaving, I told him I'm in love with you. He asked me to consider him. I told him he had Olivia" she says and I watch her, I trust her implicitly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYas9fvbEA4
I laugh slightly, glance over at him and he's watching her again, my wife.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFxS9uSqxLA
"Well you were pretty savage at the dinner table, saying we want to see what Italian life has to offer us" I tease her and she smiles.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnYE1ZTayZ
"I was just being honest" she smiles back.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeaAcULrlcu
The tension rolling off of him as she said it, the worry and anger on his face. I watched him closely. His possession of her coming to an end.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbEbON9xAp
"I can't imagine being in his shoes" I say looking up at the sky. I look down at her slowly and smile, she kisses my lips softly and I exhale looking at her. She makes me breathless. Knowing that it's my baby inside of her, feeling her skin on mine, her mouth on me.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZHGy1HKGZ
"What do you mean" she says curiously holding my hands under the water.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJu4Xjfrxu
"Well mon amore" I say softly looking at her tentative expression.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPJmnzX9Np
"We have a baby on the way, we have our marriage, a new home waiting for us in Italy. And he's in love with you" I explain simply.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmphWma2OI
"He doesn't fool me with this nurse, I mean look at you Taylor. He couldn't keep his eyes off of you the second he came in the house" I say softly stroking her wet hair back.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLtLFzwFbx
"I've tried Jay" she explains softly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0yax7YVOM
"To make her feel happy and accepted. To be her friend. And I told him the second he looked at me that he should be looking at her" she says.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzzKWbvAKH
"Naww not possible, he can't help it Taylor" I say looking over at Ross.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDABmu3RDfO
"Jesus you had Ross in tears when you said we were going" he says softly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPg3KlrvhS
"I have chosen my life Jay. It's mine to do what I want with" she says defiantly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUAl0PEOq7
I nod and kiss her, she looks up at the stars in the sky and sighs. I wait for her to look at me again, reading the emotions on her face. The worry and the concern for our friends.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fV0PddGFj
"Soon" she whispers pulling my hand over bump.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUEZtntJqY
"We will be in Italy with a newborn; our newborn" she says softly looking up into my eyes.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzElmysNRR
"I'm going to smother you both with love" I tell her.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIpQUvooLIM
"I look forward to that" she says softly looking into my eyes.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbslQvSsn5A
"Now though" I chuckle looking over her shoulder.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaWe7J0ZTt
"I'm going to have to fend off Rachel and the two merry men" I laugh. She turns around as Rachel is striding towards us.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFffCO8Hz2m
"Tay" Rachel says and her voice annoys me, it's shrill.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIX3qmsbmL6
"Yes" Taylor says steadying her, and it aggravates me that she's not more careful around her pregnant best friend.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHZ0OSqPwV
"Can Christopher and I stay?" She asks slurring and I can't imagine how she see's herself getting home in any instance.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqiZJbI23R
Christopher approaches rolling his eyes slightly and I smile over at him. He's almost sober, even though he's drunk the same amount as me. My kind of guy, keeps his whits and emotions in check no matter what.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtvJ6kOnNb5
"Of course man stay we have the room" I say to him.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WebAC1kXC
"Thanks Jay, appreciate it" he says openly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyXLCtNv2t
"I was assuming everybody would be staying" I say looking over at the others, the two merry men and Olivia. It must be around midnight by now, and I don't expect anybody to have to find a way home after drinking that much alcohol.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewYePBbRxv
Taylor strokes my arm all the way up to my shoulder, massaging it slightly. Gazing into my eyes peacefully before a realisation dawns on her face and she curses under her breath.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRFTWTkGaT
"Ross" she says suddenly and he regards her from across the pool.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQFOzijq4Z
"The medicine" she says in a hurry. I steady her, not wanting her to rush around in the pool. Not wanting her to slip in the water. But she's out of the water before I can protest. It is not on her to remember everything but often she shoulders all responsibility for everything.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqlvSemdEl
Olivia smirks over at Ross who is still standing almost pain free in the water.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSftVU2c5a2
"See water is good isn't it" she says to him, sly and he smiles slightly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrobIqAmqQ
"It's helped" he says to her pushing his blonde hair away from his face and wincing just ever so slightly at the movement, she laughs.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbtsd0Rq51h
Matty walks in behind Taylor to help her get the medicine so naturally I follow them in. Taylor is stressing out, I can tell by her movements but this isn't on her, Ross is not solely her responsibility. Matthew is placating her softly although I am losing my patience with him, I have exceptional emotional composure for a husband who has had several whiskeys and whose wife has been hit on continually by her ex.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuYRwVW94J
I cross our marble floor to get to her to help out as she is rummaging through the hospital bag soaking wet, but Matthew is already there beside her. Like they're husband and wife, like they're an item.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iZXg7cY7Q
"Here, let me" he says touching her back. And my patience is faltering. She steps back and he takes over lifting the bag up and eyeing her.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhh6McywWt
I intervene standing in between the both of them. She glances up at me worried and I can't imagine how she's going to be with her own baby. We're going to be overprotective parents for sure.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUad72UPqB
"What if he gets a lot of pain, we're like three hours late" she says softly worried.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80JTjrexME
"Got them" Matthew says and I watch him just briefly looking at her.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SN5M26ufu
"He'll be fine" he says handing her the medicine.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQmnyUx6rd
"I'm sure" Olivia says as she hurries past her.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf85mRTkSxL
"That it will be fine, Ross is fine at the moment. Maybe it's a good test, we've seen that he's not so reliant on the pain meds" she says logically not getting the stress.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwX1a5Lu0C
Matthew rolls his eyes and Taylor watches him handing Ross the pain killers.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFA8PVX6Yg5
"I'll be fine" Ross smiles at Taylor's worried face.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUQowY7fPq
"Thank you" he says softly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvc07uqdtIC
"Dare I ask" Rachel saunters over to us.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡveORoPdxLv
"We play a drinking game" she says not taking any notice of the pill commotion. Swaying slighting as Christopher steadies her.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZpFxjCwMZ
"Matty" she demands and he eyes her.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVmCjndfu9
"No weed, Rach she's pregnant and Ross is recovering" he says definitively.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiD07hyizZj
"Looks like it would help Ross out a whole lot" she smiles as we all move out of the pool up to the terrace.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKS5vgyUgn
"I mean that's pretty risky, I wouldn't advise drugs on top of medication" Olivia mutters and Rachel snickers.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPgrEWovzn
"No cannabis around my wife, please" I say putting my foot down, I eye Matthew and he nods.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGObp6HzJM2
"Let's play then, we can't just go to bed" Rachel whines.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOxmKUp9y1v
"Oh Rachel you just have to ask me" Taylor laughs, smirking at her.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKkJrAAfWji
"You don't have to disguise your love for me in the guise of playing truth or dare" she chuckles.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOgWCE6oj2C
"Taylor, I've decided I love you and you cannot leave me ever" she says drunkenly.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1p84BgrNZX
"Please" she says grabbing a beer bottle.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgblqskXcMY
"Pretty please" she giggles and Taylor perches on my lap.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0J5ZLUXbOV
"Hey you're going to be leaving me for Italy soon" she guilt trips her.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89ATdIsm9E
There is little to no reason for any of us to be playing games, we're all taken. Apart from Ross. I'd much rather go up to bed and lay with my wife. However I leave it up to her, what she decides goes, she's the boss.
42Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡanKhRbRkg1
"One round" she says looking up at me, my hands over her hips. I wink at her, and she chuckles holding onto me.
