Jays POV
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPnWPlWWQoj
"Henry" I look down at Taylor holding our newborn as we walk out through the hall.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA0jEonSEk8i
"Henry Andrew Gilbert Scott" she smiles looking down at him. In true Gilbert Scott style he is currently asleep in his mother's arms. His lips closed together, porcelain skin and blonde curls. He inherited my hair colour and Taylor's wavy curls, it's truly adorable.

“Do you like it?” She asks and I smile at her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAQKvJevmuL5
“It think his perfect” I say my eyes glistening. Having my father’s name within his full name is a wonderful idea, Taylor is full of the best ideas. She thinks about everybody and how to please them.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA04pFGqiNTH
"Jay" she says softly handing me Henry.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAb3fHfC21ax
"You okay, mon amour" I ask her Matthew is behind us, somehow since he potentially saved her life, he doesn't aggravate me anymore. Moreover since I have a child, that Taylor quite rightly so indicated, is looking up to me it’s not my place to be bitter or to be angry. We created a child together, I couldn’t ask for more in my life, apart from maybe a second little baby. The true miracle that is new life has taken me and altered my perspective on the future.

"I'd just like you to hold him, please show him to your dad. It may make me cry considering how excited he's been" she laughs and I cradle my son into my bare chest. Currently he's a very content baby, I mean what baby wouldn't be having a natural wonderful mother like my wife.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAy7DuqdNbZM
"Of course" I smile down at her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANALH0tsH4U9G
"We need to take pictures too" she whispers looking up at me.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAWjvIJfmdBf
"I'll take them, that way you can both enjoy the moment" Matthew says and I turn and smile at him.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAf13f4Enf7O
“Thank you Matthew” she tears up and I rub her back as we walk into the living room at cherry tree.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAkK6hmBEPKs
“And I’ll take the one with you in, holding the baby” I say. He beams at me, my friend that looked out for my wife when I needed him too.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAa6FbrhwduI
My mother smiles up at me, pure pride on her face seeing me hold my little baby. I always knew it would mean a lot to her, but really actually living in this moment far exceeds any imaginary life I could have made up to please her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA07XitTbHHu
Rachel hugs Taylor straight away, and I’m taken back by her need to know that she is safe. I already assumed Rachel to be un-feeling but her and Taylor have become close.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAHWlaIPbOOY
She holds Taylor tightly.
52Please respect copyright.PENANABeI0hQoN37
“Thank God you’re okay” she says and Taylor smiles hugging her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPoIXfcEvZt
“Always” Taylor says softly wiping her eyes.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZMzw1PBJaO
“How’s the baby is it a little boy” she smiles and Taylor nods. I show Henry to our friends before taking him over to my dad. Promising hugs and cuddles with them as Rachel swoons at his little face and cheeks.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAaP6kKd0JJk
"Dad" I say softly as he looks at me with more pride and respect than he ever has done, more than when I became a COO to our company. This achievement, and this honour of becoming a dad far exceeds any other title.
52Please respect copyright.PENANASATSmw7RV2
My father crying is not something I have ever imagined would happen, a tear forms in his eyes and I wipe my own. Taylor is balling, my mum wiping tears away from her face as she stands next to us. Matthew snapping pictures to my left.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAwKjtYU0qka
"This is your grandson" I finish handing him the little bundle that is my child. Our flesh and blood.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAXW6q7ht78Y
“Henry Andrew Gilbert Scott” I say and Taylor clutches my arm.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAUS6EghwtdZ
“Henry Andrew” he chokes.
52Please respect copyright.PENANApYfTi4e47E
“Yes dad it was Taylor’s idea” I say not wanting to take her due credit.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAkPucDjyuGe
“I happen to think her ideas are always on point” I say smiling at her.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA74L0sPthua
“Taylor you are the most wonderful woman, my son could not have married another. And no other would put up with him” he chuckles and Taylor hugs him. Not one woman apart from my mother hugs my father, no other person would dare for the fear of being pushed away by such a stoic sensible man. But Taylor he adores her, embracing her. I begin to wonder whether my mum having another child, a daughter, would have changed his personality. I was such an unbearable son, in my younger days.
52Please respect copyright.PENANARn9H7Cg3rc
“Congratulations boy” he says looking up at me.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAgT42M8I2Q1
“Now” he begins.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAPW9l9NySbC
“You have everything” he smiles and I couldn’t agree more.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAymQkIrlD3F
He gazes down at Henry with Taylor and they chatter.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAlhyNdxkHf5
“You must have fed him he’s a happy little baby isn’t he” dad laughs and I hear Taylor inform him that he’s been feed and spat some of it down my shirt. He chuckles as my mum faces me her hand on my back.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAnjOcNOovai
“Now do you remember Jay” she begins and I laugh just knowing what she’s going to bring up. The summer before I met Taylor and she took me to a dodgy fortune teller in Dubai who predicted all consuming love in my future. A family and a wife. Happiness.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAukMMSG1Gcy
“I think you owe the yogi a tip” she laughs and I snicker looking up at Matthew. He’s the only person I’ve told about the entire exchange. He smiles up at me and snaps a picture.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAnneo6oKgyS
“That’s a keeper of a picture” he smirks.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAoQYYV785Q1
“I’ll capture it Jay Gilbert Scott realises that he was wrong” he laughs and I jibe with him.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAczznxQWMrA
“Congratulations my darling” my mother smiles. I look down at Taylor, there’s not one person in this world that she cannot charm my father included.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4BLMY0631
“Okay Andrew” my mother says and Taylor glances up at me smiling.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAtUN1yjWNac
“Share the baby around” she says and he extends the baby for my mother to hold.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAVyd3EzIet7
She cradles him in her arms and holds him watching the way he moves his lips and sleeps like an angel.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA0U78fbO8vl
“What an amazing mummy and daddy you have Henry” she smiles.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAmj8VYsJ7Gu
“You will be the most loved baby” she smiles handing him over to Taylor’s mother, Evelyn.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAqUo55vIYNm
Evelyn is a very kind woman who cares deeply for those around her. She doesn’t talk too much and isn’t overbearing. Instead she shows her care through her actions.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAClUEZLoRqE
“Henry” she smiles cooing him and eventually passing him back to Taylor. I watch her mother and how she cares for Taylor, I need to make more space for Evelyn in Taylor’s life.
52Please respect copyright.PENANADxih9EDeuO
“Thanks mom” Taylor tears up.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAG4LTiVz97R
“Congratulations my darling” she says kissing Taylor on her forehead and hugging me.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA3EegKeuXOV
“Matthew” Taylor says handing him Henry next as I take my phone out ready to take a few pictures.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAbvOaQxA1Km
“He’s truly wonderful isn’t he” Matthew smiles up at her. She looks at Henry and smiles touching his hair.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5IrV5srH5R
“Thankyou Matthew” she says softly.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA4i61pXuUcr
“For being there for us” she says.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAdc50vJ5mR5
“Throughout most of this” she smiles and he tears up. He took her to the midwife appointment, he kept her safe and he was there at the birth.
52Please respect copyright.PENANACFGeDrPVpU
“Of course” he smiles looking into her eyes.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAp6CqRl4mXf
“Congratulations” he says softly to the both of us. Gently handing Henry back to her as she embraces him.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAMfbbUUrXHA
“Mon amour” I smile at her and sit her down next to our friends with the baby. I’m conscious of her tiring and fainting again.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAcDcHEXfMHU
“Ohhh” Rachel says looking down at Henry as Taylor places him in her arms.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAZxgnCEREDv
“He’s beautiful like you Tay” she smiles and she’s spot on.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAjt0pCGfML0
“What a little dude” she laughs.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAqgkusDjAgt
I stand next to Matthew watching the others coo over our new baby.
52Please respect copyright.PENANASNnEXYeBnx
“Congratulations” Olivia smiles sitting with Ross as they both look down at the baby in Ross’ arms.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAo1xGyV19UZ
“Looks like you might be next man” I whisper to Matthew watching Olivia. He gives me a wry smile.
52Please respect copyright.PENANAnnLmajXgZO
“I have a feeling” he whispers.
52Please respect copyright.PENANA5pk2bhknLt
“You’ll be having another one by next year”
He smirks and I pat him on the shoulder, laughing.
