Now I'm the one swinging the door open to the intensive care room. Everybody's face looking up at me as I enter pulling my leather jacket off with an armful of pizza boxes in my hand which I caught off the lazy delivery guy on my way back in.

"Wahey" Rachel smiles and I can tell they've been speculating just by the twinkle in her eye.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4wIhqYcAh
"Any news?" I ask laying the pizzas down refusing to look at Taylor. Jay winks at me and I hold back my laughter.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmItYTa5XF
"No Matty we thought you'd know seen as you're friendly with the nurse" Rachel blurts out and I wonder how long she's been dying to say that.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFzP9lVGvAT
I snort at her as she grabs a slice of ham and pineapple.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vKmvLPkx3
"The nurse keeps asking me for a word alone. She just followed me to the smoking area. The nurse needs to leave me alone" I say huffing.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLIqFXtZBS
"Yeah, yeah" Rachel laughs and I shoot her a look.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQvm5S9iqK
"Just enjoy your pizza" I say sarcastically. Jay laughs and I smirk at him.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5hZ1WPp0w
"Got your leathers back on" Jay comments smirking.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡichLIVAd9z
"Oh shh you" I tell him and he laughs.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZKBeXGqah
"You look fucking formal for the hospital" I say jibing at him. It's a tailored suit, pricey. He's taken off the jacket and rolled his shirt sleeves up.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT66O5PKPCQ
"I'm a COO now, Matthew. Not a student" he laughs back.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLaWW3BeovW
"What's a COO" Rachel asks and I almost face palm.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvrkX791dS
Jay grabs pizza for Taylor and himself explaining to an ignorant Rachel what his job is. I glance up at Taylor briefly. She smirks at me her eyes catching mine and I look back down at my plate trying not to laugh. It's the most normal moment we've all had together since we heard the news about Ross.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hCNMkp9Oe
"Fuck me" a small voice utters from the bed and Taylor practically jumps up chucking pizza everywhere rushing to Ross.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnsyOtgGH0
"I'm definitely still alive if I can hear Jay going on about business and smell pizza" Ross laughs.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhJd90Ry9f
Taylor strokes his face and his hair. Jay standing just slightly behind her.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcUHGVB4CH
"Ross" she sobs.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpxhSNFh0q
"Taylor" he croaks.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYYFCjJFE4
"Fucking good to hear your voice man" Jay says and I'm almost positive he's tearing up. Which is bizarre to me. He really is going soft.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzOKQqTbIsq
"Jay you look dapper" he says and we all chuckle.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOKFdnGZOA
"How's the pain" Taylor asks and she strokes him again.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfIXm32kLTR
"I can't feel shit which is either really bad or really good I can't tell" he says.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw8bvjkqwMW
"Ross you almost" she sobs and he shh's her.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrGTAq1qyf
"I'm here" he says and he sounds raspy but just like Ross, she grasps his hand.
"Matty" he says and I stand up.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0EgGNje1en
"Yeah man" I manage.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwfSWSuPiXG
"Before the drugs send me to sleep again. I just wanted to say, thank you. For driving around and finding me. The nurse told me" he says and Rachel rolls her eyes.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZeQbz7HBb
"No problem" I smile down at him.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFnhCwZt7A
Taylor cries, full on cries and my instinct kicks in. I go to rub her back, quickly noticing Jay's hand is already there and end up styling it out grabbing a pizza box instead.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRObX4hTD7
"Ross" Taylor sobs.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL6Wmc4DRdr
"Hey now" he slurs slightly. He takes a full look at her and his eyes widen.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL1kL3Xrff1
"You're super pregnant" he smiles.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICgbbZOM9d
"I am" she chuckles and Jay rubs her waist.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDBEaXT6B8
"Ohhh" she looks down and Jay jumps slightly a wide smile spreading across his face.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtjF24WaT81
"He just kicked again" Taylor announces wiping her eyes.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOxKBqNoSn
"Wow guys can I feel" Rachel asks surprisingly. I never really saw her as the baby type. She's not selfless, she's usually more consumed by herself.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt4z2Dd9Cg6
"Course" Taylor smiles.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6cv5Meacx
Rachel places her hands on Taylor's bump and we all wait. I'm sure if it wasn't for the machines we would all be in utter silence.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWygkrrfFhU
"Oh guys" she smiles eyes watering looking up at them.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmXrKJnBoo
"Babies a little kicker" she says softly, and I'm altogether taken back by her interest in something other than herself.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHh61NECz5H
"He's been kicking all morning" Taylor smiles and then looks back down at Ross.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXDoMIXvhQ
"I was worried about you the night of the accident" she whispers to him.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMTuH9luam
"Without knowing anything I was just worried" she adds baffled and emotional.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrPH6yCi0v
"Taylor" he whispers softly and the door opens again.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURnzNQIR6q
Olivia, makes her entrance. It's every hour isn't it ? I sigh knowing that all eyes are on me, including Olivia's. She glances at me and I look down at the pizza box. She smirks and I remember her comment earlier about Rachel ordering loads of pizza.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtKKgJ4vmX
"Hey there, Ross" she says shining a light in his eyes and performing her checks.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhvKjhYY8S
"Wow hey that's bright" he smirks.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgHuwlImma
"How's the pain from 1 to 10?" She asks.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASFChyzsUW
"Be honest you don't have to be a strong man in front of me" she laughs.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD7k0vRLFgu
"It's definitely a 9" he says quietly. Taylor looking from Olivia to Ross strokes his hair back again.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQg7sOXe299
Olivia hits a button to release pain meds. Shes all business. She doesn't notice any of my friends watching her.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqLbsblRcl
"I'm going to report back, and the doctors may decide ICU is no longer necessary. You may be moved to another bed. Your mum has paid for a private suite" she explains.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5YiIGnJwcK
She fills out the chart and flips at her clipboard. I look up and Jay is trying to contain himself from making a comment. I warn him with my eyes and he takes a seat back down in his armchair.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgIQiLaUicl
"My mums here" Ross asks.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hujgLrKRD
"Yeah man she flew over" I say softly.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8SAPfilYi
He looks up at the ceiling as the pain medication kicks back in and I glance over at Taylor in Jays lap. His hands are on bump again and they’re giggling about how the baby is moving.
222Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlMkooA1sW
Ross falls back asleep and Olivia leaves the room with a small nod towards me. I decide another cigarette escape would cause me more aggravation than it’s worth. I go back to watching Taylor, and wishing it was me she was laying on instead of her husband.
