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.

"This baby has grown infinitesimally" he laughs his hands rubbing bump. Both palms going over me.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxzy8mU67U
"I know" I smile back at him, waiting for the little kicks.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyIYNGCotD
"Today I'm going to take you to a lemon grove" he announces smiling rubbing me still; no little kicks.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBU9HkcELvk
"Lemons are pretty much a speciality in the amalfi coast" he smiles as I stroke his hair again and his jaw.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Msowt5pwo
"We can even purchase some limoncello" he smiles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6mCv0TsiPt
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbZZfqtDK9
"Mhmmm" I respond, trying to remain calm and wait for the kicks and jabs.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy0qwXqL2eX
"Can you put your hands there again" I ask him and he looks at me; concerned by my tone.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBoEWMJpO67
"It's just" I say softly. He sweeps his hands over Henry and I feel nothing.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbZ5F8QbiKc
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQW3SOCSDL
Once the call connects he calmly explains our concern and nods waiting. He watches me whilst he's on hold.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOUT9b5sCo
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMaiBam2ZxM
"Yes, general health is good, checkup was last week too" he explains.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs3rjTOMxIA
"We most certainly will try all of those" he says calmly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Z7AVcfWKu
"Would you mind ? That would be fantastic" he adds softly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FmqSVAjsE
"Of course" he says thanking the midwife and ending the call.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywLS04qEf9
Placing his phone on the side he lays down next to me. Pulling me into him, with his arms around my hips.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSNhFhiyMA
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg7wDRZzN9Q
"Or a short little burst of exercise" he smiles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gvM4uGYY1
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz88GIluH8E
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsqlJUlcZu
"It's super cold" he says coming back into the room with a glass of ice cold water.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89pFOCv8w6
I take a sip and he kisses my forehead, wiping my eyes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbYVtWChmE
"Darling" he says softly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxuv8BbgHQ8
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwhesnZS9R
He glances down at Henry, moves his hands down and bends in front of me in just his boxers.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcBqpoq9O0h
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqxMoPKtqo
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91B5tLYjix
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZLQ9hgxQW
"I'm going to hold you when you're sleeping" he smiles and I wipe my eyes.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9IY9EEhw4
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRb2wTmO41U
"Mummy says no, but we can have sleepy cuddles" he smirks looking at my tummy.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWiuqP0BOb
He kisses my tummy and I play with his hair again.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8ApopMWL8
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhRXRGgxO3
"I love you" I whisper and he smiles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLD49GnMCN
"I love you" he says.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiUunB1bTN
"Now let's get everything checked anyways, everything is okay but just to ease your mind" he says softly, stroking my hair back.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq8wWcRmP3
"Plus I would like to see my boy" he says softly kissing me.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTlVIeK8z0
"In Italy" I ask, melting into his touch.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrcMCrWTHBv
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVR7e3ltve
"Jay you're already the best daddy ever" I say softly.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBbHE6LAQC3
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgTpkoiGAz
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40RdvOPSFp
"Hey, do you remember that shower we shared in my dorm room" I laugh and he scoffs.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FBZzJ5qUs
"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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbw2pDWFQ4
"Look at us now; married, pregnant and in a fancy shower that's almost the size of that entire university bedroom" I laugh.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpRpcuZe8s
"You know" he whispers turning me around and letting the water stream down my back.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡll31EY88p8
"I used to think about all of this back then" he whispers.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrWbRDY6IU9
"Babies and fancy showers, with you as my wife" he smirks.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURCDFPGkZ7
"Ohh really" I ask him and he turns me back to him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtiRs6QZnd
"Yes really" he smiles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0PGb1NBGM
"And that reminds me actually; baby shower, mum has been going on about dates" he says water dripping down his slick hair.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVRLTtN87n
"I can't wait" I tell him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrScIFRuu9
"I'll give you her number and you can plan" he explains as he turns the shower off and grabs towels for us.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjxsAVPFen
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbICAqLSbFu
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg5QsMLMNsd
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.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUUfkVhMJ8
"You don't need makeup" he whispers looking at me through the mirror.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPtTPNCkgi
"You're glowing" he smiles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1A0gZ0fu3y
He massages my shoulders and I look up at him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzEz40EAWo
"All booked" he says softly kissing my neck.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJanGeFKkRZ
"I'll drive us after breakfast in the Mazda" he laughs, and I swat him.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHYzKJCZy3
“Maserati, Mazda same thing!” I laugh and he chuckles.
69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUP1QYJGyQ4
"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.
