Taylor's POV

"I'm telling you" he smiles at me in bed as I stroke his hair back. He opened the terrace doors which overlook the pool and the sea beyond, because we both woke up very warm.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA90GC94kJLl
"This baby has grown infinitesimally" he laughs his hands rubbing bump. Both palms going over me.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQsUtascvdf
"I know" I smile back at him, waiting for the little kicks.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOSccRAv7Pq
"Today I'm going to take you to a lemon grove" he announces smiling rubbing me still; no little kicks.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdPoEcNHbht
"Lemons are pretty much a speciality in the amalfi coast" he smiles as I stroke his hair again and his jaw.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAZQqNbsrPVw
"We can even purchase some limoncello" he smiles.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAHpVcY9h0qJ
"Taylor" Jay says dipping my chin up to his as I stare at bump waiting, I can feel the breeze rustle through the doors and I cling onto bump. Slight worry setting in.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAU9eDo25lbF
"Mhmmm" I respond, trying to remain calm and wait for the kicks and jabs.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAdyMAW51x3H
"Can you put your hands there again" I ask him and he looks at me; concerned by my tone.
68Please respect copyright.PENANApseXnqBbaI
"It's just" I say softly. He sweeps his hands over Henry and I feel nothing.
68Please respect copyright.PENANABP0UkACpeW
"There's no movement this morning" I say panicking. He kisses me softly and then stands to grab the pamphlets straight away. Pulls his phone from on the side and dials the number on the contact form for advice.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAuLvq3e2MPB
Once the call connects he calmly explains our concern and nods waiting. He watches me whilst he's on hold.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAALYaEbxnET
"Hi" he greets the person on the other side of the line. He explains my concerns and waits for a response. Distantly I can hear a female voice.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmP8mHO6t3j
"Yes, general health is good, checkup was last week too" he explains.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOGOVt7kE4e
"We most certainly will try all of those" he says calmly.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAS8bLIYgLiI
"Would you mind ? That would be fantastic" he adds softly.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAqIIrayq1y6
"Of course" he says thanking the midwife and ending the call.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAK47lOcCIfZ
Placing his phone on the side he lays down next to me. Pulling me into him, with his arms around my hips.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAFAle7EmBS1
"They say it's likely that baby has been moving all night long, and is resting. We should try ice cubes; or sweet food to wake him up" Jay says.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAnvSNW6ry3f
"Or a short little burst of exercise" he smiles.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAiBTeFlInUk
"Let's do them all" I say to him getting up. I do a few little jumps on the spot, looking like an absolute fool whilst he heads down to the kitchen for ice.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAvq4CTNEgmv
I hold onto my bump the entire time he's gone.
Trying to not let the panic and anxiety take over me. Tears roll down my cheeks as I wait for him feeling numb but jumping up and down either way.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0iPC5QgkyA
"It's super cold" he says coming back into the room with a glass of ice cold water.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEwAUdc9aVX
I take a sip and he kisses my forehead, wiping my eyes.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAA7hQS3a3zq
"Darling" he says softly.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAp2NX2KADcU
"You are going to be just fine" he says and his hands hold onto bump. I drink the water swallowing as he rubs bump slowly whilst looking into my eyes. A soft and caring expression on his face.
68Please respect copyright.PENANANLiYGLImlB
He glances down at Henry, moves his hands down and bends in front of me in just his boxers.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUDt1CYd5jB
"Hey sleepyhead" he whispers to bump and I smile as Henry jabs, a strong kick which I couldn't miss.
He glances up at me a smile on his lips.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAmsnmdz0w7Z
I continue drinking the cold water, it's actually pretty refreshing. Henry jabs a little more, and I smile down at Jay who is still on his knees.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWF7KiWa3s2
"Were you just a sleepy baby" he says softly and my eyes cry happy tears as I watch him. Henry goes wild for Jays voice and I smile.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6QVccvgm7o
"I'm going to hold you when you're sleeping" he smiles and I wipe my eyes.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAShuiwssN76
"You know they say you should put them down when they sleep" I say and Jay looks up at me a wry smile on his lips.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcGgMRvizir
"Mummy says no, but we can have sleepy cuddles" he smirks looking at my tummy.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAcY4EgU9LEP
He kisses my tummy and I play with his hair again.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA4kDUGKpIxk
"Let's make sure we don't worry mummy again, by having long sleeps" he says softly and then stands up, taking the water from me which I've finished.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAkj2TpZtRHy
"I love you" I whisper and he smiles.
68Please respect copyright.PENANARVFR3MQDIA
"I love you" he says.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAWcaTSihzEw
"Now let's get everything checked anyways, everything is okay but just to ease your mind" he says softly, stroking my hair back.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAIfy2monXb6
"Plus I would like to see my boy" he says softly kissing me.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAgzPdJUYb3l
"In Italy" I ask, melting into his touch.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA3rlUuEykhC
"Yes the midwife will email me the details of a private clinic, we can also have a 3d scan there too" he suggests and I smile up at him.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQJTSnVRE4n
"Jay you're already the best daddy ever" I say softly.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6Gc9cl2SR3
"Did you see how worried you were; you're the best mother ever. Plus what kind of husband would I be if I didn't sort out all of our worries and take care of everything." He kisses me guides me to the shower.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAINU6ObhYXx
Pulling off my slip he turns the shower on and I walk in ahead of him. He stands under the water with me and kisses me slowly and passionately.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVnRQmy0bGo
"Hey, do you remember that shower we shared in my dorm room" I laugh and he scoffs.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA0cEelgiiir
"Horrifying" he says, he used to complain endlessly about the university shower. He negotiated that I should come and move in with him purely for the need of having a decent shower.
68Please respect copyright.PENANALUpmMHTuFB
"Look at us now; married, pregnant and in a fancy shower that's almost the size of that entire university bedroom" I laugh.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1zfZfJrHaP
"You know" he whispers turning me around and letting the water stream down my back.
68Please respect copyright.PENANABwU134R0eb
"I used to think about all of this back then" he whispers.
68Please respect copyright.PENANART3kyELvAJ
"Babies and fancy showers, with you as my wife" he smirks.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA6FzMerS1tW
"Ohh really" I ask him and he turns me back to him.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAb6sNhA8p97
"Yes really" he smiles.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAjo7bDWqQgJ
"And that reminds me actually; baby shower, mum has been going on about dates" he says water dripping down his slick hair.
68Please respect copyright.PENANARCoo2bvTVW
"I can't wait" I tell him.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAQ08jg6uc5U
"I'll give you her number and you can plan" he explains as he turns the shower off and grabs towels for us.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAooVBAyEnQ1
Jay wraps me up in a towel and I follow him back through to the bedroom. It's not an en suite; this is a traditional building with large rooms and high ceilings. Ornate architecture rather than clean lines. It's rich in colour with terracottas and oranges and warm ivory walls. I follow him down the hall and head into the large bedroom.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAUVzPtIUSTr
The ceiling reaches high, and the terrace outside has vines and flowers trailing around the balcony. The bedroom features an ornate bed, which is adorned with white crisp linens. The walls are a warm ivory and there's a traditional dresser with an oval mirror.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAVQSvunMcJk
I dress in some white shorts and a black off the shoulder top and sit in front of the mirror drying my hair out. Finally I apply a little bit of makeup; blush, lipstick and some mascara.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAOH0v69N6tB
"You don't need makeup" he whispers looking at me through the mirror.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAbloJdX1XTL
"You're glowing" he smiles.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAEZf8U0lhoS
He massages my shoulders and I look up at him.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAhYETVA5EOf
"All booked" he says softly kissing my neck.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAfaFtC8SfpD
"I'll drive us after breakfast in the Mazda" he laughs, and I swat him.
68Please respect copyright.PENANAb8tUWeXZZo
“Maserati, Mazda same thing!” I laugh and he chuckles.
68Please respect copyright.PENANA1lVPtNCriH
"I'm gonna go make us eggs and toast" he smiles and then kisses me before he leaves. His stare lingering on me before he goes.
