Taylor's POV
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFouV66ek8J
The sunshine settles onto my bare skin as I turn in the water, glistening blue beads of water slipping down his chest as I smile. Breathing in his scent and smiling. It's a place with a view, the mountains towering over us and a huge body of pristine blue water that is still. I wonder as I look upon his face, his puckered lips which I seize in my own. Pushing his wet hair back as I run my hands down his back and gasp.

"I need you" I whisper looking upon his eyes again as he smiles, a sense of accomplishment behind his stare.

"I'll need you forever" he whispers holding onto bump. The water collects around my shoulders as he closes his mouth on mine. My Ross, my lovesick writer that composes poems and has published books. He is all mine. The one who picks flowers only to see me smile.

Squinting into the dark, the fire utterly burnt out as I gaze upon the mantelpiece. Pictures that Henry has drawn placed upon it, Henry has shown himself to be pretty accomplished when it comes to sketching. I'm sure that he has a little bit of a gift; the image of a flower placed at the centre of our mantelpiece, which for a child is advanced. Shaded and showing the light which settles over the flower. It's detailed and he has spent a few hours returning to it and making it more lifelike and real. Not a usual pastime for most five year olds, he's truly special.

Turning my gaze on Ross as he sleeps next to me, I find my dreams although accurate cannot quite manage to recreate his golden halo of hair, his skin which now shows off his time in the sunshine. Six months I think to myself, almost half a year of being with him daily. Through the absolute treacherous times of my darkest days he has stayed. And now six months later here I am sleeping with him on my sofa because neither of us wants to overstep each others boundaries, it's absurd and I giggle scooping myself up and realising I'm still in my pale blue dress from the evening before.

"Ross, darling" I whisper stroking his face as he rises.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ336lnQjnyJ
"I can't believe we fell asleep here on the sofa" I whisper looking up at him, soft blue eyes that open up before me.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ74nEV2iQue
"I can you're comfy" he giggles softly rubbing the baby bump and lifting me up as the moon continues to shine and the stars twinkle. I giggle and my legs swing as he carries me in my pale blue dress up the long sweeping staircase.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY0O1IgWrBN
"What's the time, anyways" he sighs looking down into my face as he cradles me into his chest.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sOAX0tUag
"It's just past midnight" I smile and he scoffs.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MKPMn4uFc
"Didn't anybody ever tell you Taylor that you're supposed to wake up in the morning not in the middle of the night" he smiles and I laugh. How his eyes twinkle when he smiles.

The double doors to the master bedroom open as he sweeps in laying me down at the end of the bed in my dress and I gaze up at him not wanting him to let me go. All of the rooms have large canopy beds and high arched windows. Marble floors and are decorated with quilted wallpapers. The master suite is my favourite decorated in summer yellow with an oak bed frame and white drapes around the sides.

"Lord Taylor, is this too soon" he whispers slowly and I blush watching his eyes, so full of love and sincerity. Eyes that have grounded me, a smile that has erased my pain.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s5GQBnav3
"I'm yours Ross" I tell him and he sighs kneeling before me in his shirt and Levi's. Pushing his blonde tousled hair back as he watches me bewildered.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jV4WyYkl4
"You have to tell me when I'm moving too fast" he whispers as I stare into his blue eyes awaiting him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4f5NH0GP2L
"Hold me all night long Ross" I whisper before standing before him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxR9udWEz2r
"I love you" he whispers unzipping my pale blue gown and holding me in his arms. I sink back into the cotton yellow duvet and he watches me before removing his clothes. His skin pristine and unmarked as he moves the duvet over and climbs in next to me. Wrapping my bare body up in his embrace.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7opwVLG64
"I love it when you hold me" I whisper to him, knowing how perfect the feel of his embrace is. Scooping my hair over my shoulders he watches me in the dark.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RMppt7zfj
"I can't believe I get to hold you in my arms" he whispers slowly and I smile feeling his thumbs graze my ribs and his palms rest on bump.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqC4rGOT44R
"That I get to have you for the rest of my days is a blessing" I whisper and he watches me, I have overstepped the mark but the bubbling feeling of love is consuming me. I blush heavily and look away from him, shy. His hands pull me to look at him again and the intensity of his stare sets me on fire.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi0U1IQrnw
"Taylor" he whispers softly as I get lost in his stare imagining him telling me to measure my feelings before I run away with myself, to calm down. However Ross and I have a long standing history, to fall in love with him is as easy as breathing. A best friend turned into a lover, a second part to your soul.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3knLHeclVX
"The only person I want to spend the rest of my life with is you" he whispers gazing upon me, his hands holding my face as he watches me slowly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDFFy2dSnu
"The only woman I've ever loved" he whispers before kissing my forehead. I scoop my hands around his back and feel his strong heart beating through his chest. Being held by him I fall into a deep sleep. A rest that can only be had when the person you love is keeping you safe and warm all night long.

"Taylor" he whispers when the sun rises in the morning and the children are pattering around in each other's bedrooms.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tpFv9ja3t
"Ross" I whisper opening my eyes slowly to his small smile. He should have been a rugby player with his broad shoulders. Two kisses on my lips has me breathless before he scoops up my bare body and carries me over to the large ensuite bathroom.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFuxXpHgY9y
"Mm this is nice" I giggle as he turns the faucet on the shower, guiding me underneath it and into his arms as he holds me around the waist. Ross is particularly good with intimacy, although we haven't done anything more than holding one another in each other's arms, he makes me feel close to him.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOEjchXyei
"No sickness" he whispers in my ear as he holds the growing bump up under his palms. The water streaming down our backs as he kisses my neck softly.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnV7UJXne3H
"You holding the weight of the baby like that is heavenly" I sigh as he practically clenches his biceps holding my bump up for me. The large ornate mirrors steaming up, the terracotta walls and the large potted ferns in the corner of the room.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpcimybpH2
"You kept the sickness away" I murmur turning to face him, as the water streams down our faces he rubs my back with his hands. Lathering soap into my hands, I rub his back and his hips. The scent of fresh lemons and the feel of his skin under my palms. The tattoo on his thigh that he had done to cover up a scar from a motorbike accident. All parts of him that I already know so well.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQSxIvaH6R7
"Let me" he whispers lathering up his own hands, turning me around and rubbing my back. Slow sweeping movements that make me feel more and more relaxed. Small kisses on my cheek and neck as he whispers how much he loves me.

We have a checkup today and I'm leaning to another home birth. Although there is still time to decide given that I have a few months left; my mind has been swayed into having my baby with Ross by my side in the pool.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfM2MGZxDH
"Can we drive out and have lunch after the checkup" I whisper feeling his kisses grow in intensity. Closing my eyes as the feel of him takes over me.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJPV4i7DPT
"Of course" he whispers his hands holding up bump.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82om4xKlZ6
"We can eat whatever you like" he whispers in between kissing me, I lose all focus briefly resting my head onto his chest as he supports my body weight.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ037wNjDMAv
"Rachel has insisted on having the kids" I tell him and he sighs sweeping my hair over my shoulder and kissing down my neck.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtlFpdkMpl9
"That's nice of her" he giggles as I turn and lock my lips over his mouth, the water streaming down over us.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Z1zzUH1Vx
"I'm going to take you for the fanciest lunch" he smiles when I break away from his lips. The glint in his eyes and the way he swishes his wet hair back. His hands protectively resting on bump.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1Nu5yDCwo
"I love you, Ross" I whisper looking up at him, he sweeps my wet hair back and watches me carefully. A small smile over his lips, a smile I cannot live without.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqCfWMRMJg
"I love you honey" he says confidently and I giggle imagining us ten years down the line hand in hand growing old together whilst we watch the children flourish.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrBpZazd42
“Honey” I smirk and he chuckles blushing.
10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AwI3XkfdZ
“It just felt right” he whispers tracing one fingertip over my lips, one brush of his lips to my own before we dry off together dreaming about our day out in the sun. Our own little date; just me, Ross and the baby in my tummy.
