Jays POV

"Henry" I look down at Taylor holding our newborn as we walk out through the hall.

"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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nV8t5y6oj
“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.

"Jay" she says softly handing me Henry.

"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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfx53g8WqQH
"Of course" I smile down at her.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qBEoGTmXi
"We need to take pictures too" she whispers looking up at me.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFny018oAXz
"I'll take them, that way you can both enjoy the moment" Matthew says and I turn and smile at him.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgBzTLkxLL
“Thank you Matthew” she tears up and I rub her back as we walk into the living room at cherry tree.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Xd8cAL0mu
“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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADrUyuFN3x
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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSdXP20tSs
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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplKKsmzx5F
She holds Taylor tightly.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcKMERrza7f
“Thank God you’re okay” she says and Taylor smiles hugging her.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxDPsvM97F
“Always” Taylor says softly wiping her eyes.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFnBgBsgOY
“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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4pVqAhADt
"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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFBWbhOVcr
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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ28LTUyZ6
"This is your grandson" I finish handing him the little bundle that is my child. Our flesh and blood.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWAHdB1op3
“Henry Andrew Gilbert Scott” I say and Taylor clutches my arm.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKccZAAFWF
“Henry Andrew” he chokes.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9zIS0Eyw6
“Yes dad it was Taylor’s idea” I say not wanting to take her due credit.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCoLgl5lsVQ
“I happen to think her ideas are always on point” I say smiling at her.

“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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKR6i1RcvMV
“Congratulations boy” he says looking up at me.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNdj39N1G9
“Now” he begins.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2SZ2BYeS2
“You have everything” he smiles and I couldn’t agree more.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CTdflp11r
He gazes down at Henry with Taylor and they chatter.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeWmmkfXPL
“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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTlVrLbN82
“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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPFETxY18p
“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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMr3ZChvDaE
“That’s a keeper of a picture” he smirks.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHNSa4GnYn
“I’ll capture it Jay Gilbert Scott realises that he was wrong” he laughs and I jibe with him.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0t2N3F8np9
“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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOieXLSSix4
“Okay Andrew” my mother says and Taylor glances up at me smiling.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmqYDAnvceR
“Share the baby around” she says and he extends the baby for my mother to hold.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3CePv0tE3
She cradles him in her arms and holds him watching the way he moves his lips and sleeps like an angel.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOFcTXBc4j9
“What an amazing mummy and daddy you have Henry” she smiles.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjraJY4mYK
“You will be the most loved baby” she smiles handing him over to Taylor’s mother, Evelyn.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtz6lWwBztj
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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrAv9421hp
“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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB27YObdlaP
“Thanks mom” Taylor tears up.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qr9YZEL3C
“Congratulations my darling” she says kissing Taylor on her forehead and hugging me.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09NqN5JtaQ
“Matthew” Taylor says handing him Henry next as I take my phone out ready to take a few pictures.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUE1GKz314
“He’s truly wonderful isn’t he” Matthew smiles up at her. She looks at Henry and smiles touching his hair.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSNk9HA9Fj
“Thankyou Matthew” she says softly.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ot44Omb1E
“For being there for us” she says.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkcvV0FvyA
“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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnFXMtVvD4
“Of course” he smiles looking into her eyes.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCr59yFw4nh
“Congratulations” he says softly to the both of us. Gently handing Henry back to her as she embraces him.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1HsmCKofu
“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.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYf4u2F9L49
“Ohhh” Rachel says looking down at Henry as Taylor places him in her arms.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpWOdf27Bia
“He’s beautiful like you Tay” she smiles and she’s spot on.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3aDxWSwLy
“What a little dude” she laughs.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMv2aCYQGv5
I stand next to Matthew watching the others coo over our new baby.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN070VLU8RB
“Congratulations” Olivia smiles sitting with Ross as they both look down at the baby in Ross’ arms.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGGYrJWpqt
“Looks like you might be next man” I whisper to Matthew watching Olivia. He gives me a wry smile.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fMNFlb29R
“I have a feeling” he whispers.
27Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhWdRI85myU
“You’ll be having another one by next year”
He smirks and I pat him on the shoulder, laughing.
