Taylor's POV
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM9tLjxXo6
"My darling" I whisper to Jay, he's fast asleep having been looking after me and Ross all of yesterday. I stroke his hair and he blinks slowly.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdGGIEffaWA
"Your mother will be here in a couple of hours" I say softly. Claire has insisted that she sets up for the party/baby shower. Not sure how much she needs to set up, I was thinking more along the lines of a drinks table and a few balloons. Clearly she is way better at parties than myself.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORhsOFnuUj
"Mhmmmm" he whispers closing his eyes, and I chuckle tickling him. To him his mother coming over means rolling out of bed pulling on some shorts and bingo he's ready. To me it means exfoliate and shower, apply moisturiser, think for twenty minutes about appropriate classy pregnancy outfits. Apply makeup, and actually get dressed. I sigh and he opens his eyes again.

"My darling" he says softly.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ7L01NDlB
"It will be fine, you just gotta let her get everything done and you can relax" he says.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdrpGLS907
"Jay what should I wear, it's like 50 degrees. And I'm heavy and like a beached whale. I want to be in a bikini but I can't strut around with my boobs hanging out with our guests" I say getting worked up. He smiles slowly at my little outburst.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbb5Nnwq6iP
"Plus what if they start leaking everywhere" I say flustered and he pulls me close.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBiatfXQCtR
"You wear what you please Mon amore. Your boobs leak and I'll pull you aside and attend to them" he smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWaUBMkBkj
"Don't worry about my mum she's been pregnant and knows what you're going through. Ross looks at your boobs, I'll give him the eye and he'll stop" he adds.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0UVkgFzpe
He rests his hands on bump smiling, feeling the little kicks and jabs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjqgUp4OK0
"I spoke with Ross yesterday when you left" I say not wanting anything to be between us. He listens rubbing my waist.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkD86kVGeo
"He didn't try anything, but he mentioned how I married you even though he proposed" I say and he nods.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQuVcOebZi6
"I ended up telling him about the miscarriage, because he was going on about how he wished he'd said something earlier than he did." I tell him and he looks up at me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyPgpBNKzHY
"It's why he's acting weird" I add. Every now and then last night I would catch Ross and meet his eyes, his expression one of concern. Of questions and worry.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHHJBSvs6L
"Are you okay" he asks concerned, knowing how much talking about the baby I lost upsets me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRBA4uEpQf
I smile at him and stroke his face, his chiselled cheek bones and his soft lips.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTYB5IgMnu
"Oh, Jay I love you" I tell him, he is considerate and caring at all times.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oQ7ubZ6JJ
"I love you too" he says softly.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrbvvBWXEhM
"Must have been a shock for him" he says and I nod.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NsvG45fbD
"He was emotional. I think he needed to know, especially after everything" I explain.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd6lz0jv2y
Jay scoops me up into his arms and into his lap on the bed.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek7zu6md98
"I had a dream by the way" he says softly, stroking my hair back looking into my eyes.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpcf5oTZAe
"What was it" I reply intrigued.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpQiEJXcvG
"You went into labour" he says smirking, holding my face in his hands.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeHDD4fYfi
"Don't! If I go into labour here then that will stuff up our plans of an Italy birth" I say laughing.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1OJ2sBkYN
Jay picks me up, and I laugh my head falling back.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlstrOzwENv
"You seriously cannot be serious I must weigh a tonne" I chuckle.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1mWO1jwxS
"Guns" he replies smirking looking into my eyes.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WnkA3JpuF
He carries me into the bathroom, setting me down on the tiled floor. He begins drawing a bath in the classic bath tub.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQhYvaoFQl
"I think it was my subconscious, preparing me for the most important moment of my life" he says looking up at me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3GwPNe62j
"Safe delivery of my first child, and safety of the love of my life" he explains brushing my hair back.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmZQNUkJfzj
"I will make sure you are both safe" he says hands on bump.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdGgpT39i1
"And even if you do Taylor go into labour here, we can still do the whole Italian ever after" he smiles up at me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddlkKyjmAH
We bathe together and it relaxes me, I rest back onto his chest and he strokes my hair. I opt for a bikini and shorts, honestly I tried all of my clothes and they either don't fit or they make me feel as though I'm suffocating.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtrzNMaGXY
"You look wonderful" he comments as I walk out of the walk in wardrobe in my combo. I look over at him in his jeans shorts and polo neck and sigh. He looks like a model and I feel like a huge walrus.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUUF4mxWWX
"No you look wonderful" I say softly.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv87QpQdgde
"Blue suits you" he says looking at the pale blue bikini top.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YCbTgvT8A
"This is the closest fitting one" I say and he smirks.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3krXBdRpE
"Taylor you're the most perfect pregnant woman I've ever seen" he smiles reassuringly. He tucks my curls behind my ear and we leave the bedroom.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZJRdg4KVm
Once we're downstairs he opens up the bi-folding doors to the terrace and thankfully a breeze flows through the kitchen as I make up breakfast.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLOPHbowXnY
"Morning guys" Ross comes in as I'm frying up the bacon and eggs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPdfEyniwi2
"God Jay, I see what you mean about losing all interest in the gym" he laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDvKz8JM2M
"Told you" he winks at him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uKgh1KAK6
"However you and I" Jay smirks at him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUhJ9mbOob
"We're going to be doing some physio together" he announces and I turn to him laughing.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRILMoPiNDv
"You are really?" I say smirking at Ross. Imagining two blonde shirtless men jumping around in my garden.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4XNuUqMzO
"But first bacon, eggs and baby shower prep" he says laughing.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtY7so3fxWa
They sit down at the oak table and I plate them up two breakfasts. Setting them down on the table Ross looks at me normally and I assume he's slept off his concerns.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMmJjHZPce
I rub bump softly before eating and Jay eyes me, looking up from his eggs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwuSO5EVMs
"Lots of movement" I tell him.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwfdjv2FAO
"Do you think babies getting ready" Ross asks.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovRIEpioLi
"Who knows" I smirk tucking into my bacon and eggs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI10WkjxvT1
As they chatter and eat, I sit back feeling the baby moving around more than ever. I try to concentrate on my food but it's like he's changing direction inside of me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1f1WkcmFO
"You okay babe" Jay watches me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91JWV4or2X
"Mmmhmm" I say standing up deserting my breakfast and stretching.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zocmRHjGT
"Okay mon amore?" He asks standing up.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYIzWgiZf3
"Just baby is moving but it feels like he's, I don't know doing somersaults" I say and Ross stands too.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUbvM4Dr3P
"You think baby might be trying to get head down?" Jay asks softly touching bump.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqoMyJhFXw
I look up to see two pairs of blue eyes watching me concerned. I smile at them both to reassure them. The bell goes and Jay looks to Ross. He nods and walks out into the hall.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoqRtpDcyr
"Babies moving a lot Jay" I look up at him and he smirks before holding me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHl6F0F3b93
"I know, I need you to rest and relax mon amore" he says softly and I look at him concerned.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaNwmPAfcH
"What if he is ready" I say freaking out, I most certainly am not.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YqEpkOi0w
"Hello darlings" Claire says and Jay looks up smiling at his mum, with his arms still around me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1i6UDd2r2
I look up at Claire, her kind eyes which are just like Jays. Ross standing just behind her, smiling at me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡglQoJSFLRh
"What's got you so worried" she says to me reading my emotions.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl6XzZZa6Nz
"Baby is moving so so much" I say and she smiles at me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsj1G5QoTRk
"That's a good thing" she reassures me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzF76ELzKb
"Can I?" She says indicating that she would like to touch my bump.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaPoNFKQih
"Of course please" I say softly and she swats her son out of the way, he stands back laughing.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4REJLxiVsi
"He hasn't a clue" she smiles up at me rolling her eyes.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsGELu7iRZ
"Let me just see where the movements are" she says touching bump.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS2hPYF0He
"Like I thought" she smiles up at me, her blonde hair the exact same shade as Jay’s cut into a bob.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqJ0BndZOb
"Babies head is down" she says clearly.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3x0cf5PJV4
"He's just getting ready to make an appearance don't worry" she smiles up at Jay.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsdfq7yltnX
"Head down!?" I squeal and Ross laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDjZ1KV6HD
"Yes the kicks are in your ribs right, so his head is down here" she explains and I marvel at her.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT4GjBdg6m
"That's the pressure you're feeling in your lower belly" she explains and I smile at her.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucing9fscC
"Looks like you haven't got long left" she laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74LBgI48UY
The worry I feel dissipates around Jay’s mum, she's easy breezy but she also cares greatly. I hug her, I'm not normally a touchy feely person. But she pulls me in wiping her eyes.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sMNqsDb6L
"I'm going to be a grandmother very soon" she smiles holding me at arms length.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWd9U0dGrO3
"Right little kicker isn't he" she laughs tears in her eyes.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxKRSpW4P8C
"How long do you think we have" I ask her, she is my fountain of knowledge.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYKYjGNeiM
"Well, I have to say, I don't know for sure. It can be anything between hours and weeks Taylor" she explains.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ72klNUmLmO
"There's just no way to know until you start feeling those contractions" she smiles and hands me back to Jay.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CWjOhCZGh
"Jay dropped head down, engaged in place and was born within two days" she says and I gasp.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtDoUVqWmPI
“So let’s do this baby shower” she says looking at both of us.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdNlar8Une
“You take it easy” she glances at me.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBQQChiR3l
“However you two, will be very handy” she smiles at Jay and Ross and I laugh.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFNVAW3xdA
“Claire, what would you like to drink” I ask her and she smiles.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ490w3Lcn0D
“A coffee, I would kill for one” she laughs.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbqFNDPBhF
“I’ll get it” Jay says softly heading over to the coffee machine and firing it up.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4vwxH0dn6
Claire has bought a lot of stuff, I can tell from the suitcases lined up in the hall. And the cardboard boxes.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaUHrlvMPJ
“This is my first grandchild” she laughs at my expression.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrNSb7fkXH
I smirk and she calls Ross over almost snapping her fingers, he obliges carrying the large boxes through to the kitchen.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LXJsqtoix
“We have a balloon arch, banners. Some of those cute block things with baby written on them” she explains.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKlIXhncsg4
“Fairy lights, games” she goes on and I laugh.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxSlPGbqNdz
“Coffee mum” Jay calls over.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEOfpL7xIQ
“This is going to be the most brilliant baby shower there ever was” she says with a twinkle in her eyes.
83Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MWz0ljt7x
“Oh and I got you a sash” she exclaims.
