Taylor's POV
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj2fb0UjT2
The bugaboo fox is the pram for me. I've decided and so Jay is ordering it. We're still in the baby shop, I didn’t quite realise how much this gear is going to cost. Especially since Jay wants high end, branded stuff.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatQ4MnbDk7
I'm looking at the vests and baby grows whilst he is ordering the car seat. He's pretty good with shopping, he knows his stuff already on baby gear and I smile walking over to him holding onto a few baby clothes. Little hats and socks.

The salesman smiles at me and I stand next to Jay his arm goes around me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeRUk1aJwO
"Yes so could we choose delivery nearer the time" Jay enquirers.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbfPp2sDtW
"Of course when would you like the items to arrive sir" Greg, the salesmen asks. In this store the staff are impeccably dressed.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrE3ZkNqcxy
"Say 4 months time" Jay says looking at me for help.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Bkvqh3Fe
I smile.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqmTw5H4x3
"Yes that should work" I say.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVG7JlXMnj
"Of course" Greg replies sorting it all out on the computer.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv5cYkUjJc
"What was your colour choice ?" He smiles.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN4t3IjJYe
"I like the black but it's up to you" Jay says smiling at me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8ZdJhk5v3
"Black is neutral and classic" I say softly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsgO4G85r8
"But" he laughs.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdiUzAWny1
"No it is totally impractical" I laugh.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbbd36X6Yv
"You like the cream" he says reading my mind.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKt9cxaCbkA
“I like the cream colour” I say to him smiling.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yGjXrm4O5
Jay smiles at me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sk8JLdjEC
“The fabric is pretty stain resistant to be fair and it’s all wipe clean” Greg informs me smiling.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSJBRdwgdz
“The cream then” Jay smiles looking at me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmAvmT5JVKn
I nod and stroke his arm. We order all of the extras including a footmuff which zips up to keep baby warm. The car seat with pram adaptors so that we can clip it to the pram chassis. I thought I would be most excited about the pram but the bassinets and the cribs are just as cute. I imagine tucking in a little baby and watching them sleep.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCQwOMMwp0
Once everything is ordered, several thousands of pounds later we browse the clothes and sleep sacks.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrn11vjNwK
“What’ve you picked already” he smiles.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdifk6EXtJ
“Little socks and baby grows” I smile showing him and he holds the tiny clothes in his hands.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7A6MZGlq8X
“They’re so tiny” he says.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsxMTH2wgJ
Naturally I am drawn to the blue and he begins picking up all the baby pink stuff.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixs7pfomMt
“Maybe we buy gender neutral, until we know” I say.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLt8BVnYBr
“You wanna find out” he teases me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TsMgnpKw3
“I do I think you’re right, painting the room and buying the clothes I think actually it makes sense” I say.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuVjfhBhuCt
I turn to him unbelieving this man is mine and is going to be the father of my children. I see his smile which has softened since being with me; the once boyish brute that I used to meet only at parties has become the centre of my universe. The reason I’m happy.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYGbtgG1iG
“That’s actually really good because I’m impatient” He laughs.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMfFNLKDjs
We purchase some socks and vests in neutral colours and then we head to an Italian, my choice, for lunch. He orders, he just knows what I like. And I’m busy browsing my phone at the time.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhhSisBiAa
I look up at him, he’s thinking about something and my face falls. His usual calm self assured expression is replaced by one I almost don’t recognise on him. He strokes his blonde hair back.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBrv9nOKsJ
“You okay, Jay” I say softly reaching my hands out.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoRdBMa6t9m
He smiles at me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyY4kzROzq
“I’m fine” he says but I’m not leaving it there.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFQv8WiaGg
I stroke his hands in mine. Softly, my approach is going to be gentle.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSwBZv7x3Y
“I can’t explain it Taylor. I just felt a bit confused. Temporarily. It’s nothing I promise. I actually don’t think it’s even a thing.” He mumbles.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRLDlc3zde
“You’ve just come out of hospital with a head injury Jay” I say
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsbCVGbIrf
“It must be related, but it’s okay we can sort it” I say softly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlDgltJvlj
“Just you being here helps” he smiles. I stroke his arms across the table.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqQc4eDoGQ
“Let’s just keep an eye on it. I’m gonna look after you” I say. He smiles softly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwI1M2N3Su
“No I’m supposed to look after you” he says.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnX5DiMLeaP
“And you do, always so think of it as pay back” I smile.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBPvbfJxCmn
Our food arrives and we move our hands smiling at the waiter. He’s ordered me truffle pasta, because the man knows me so well. We eat heartily after our shopping and I keep a close eye on him. Just to be double sure that he’s not having another episode of confusion.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEFi9eSdvL
Of course I’m worried, that this might become a part of our lives. That he might not get over it. And it will all be my fault again. I fork some more pasta and eat it watching him.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdcZzBFdNsm
“No Taylor” he says.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoS86rpwwbe
“Don’t you do that this is not your fault” he says.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj5dRboufvd
“How is it you can read my mind” I say
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6UoXkRryrX
“Because I’m very good at deciphering your thoughts from your body language” he smiles.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMXHHEX6Rg
“Firstly this isn’t your fault, and second I’m not confused anymore there’s nothing to be worried about” he smiles.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcweAqrEGdX
“Are you sure” I say to him concerned.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzHkrfEm4p
“Hundred percent” he smiles.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcF2bWb9seB
“Eat” he smirks at me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaBZTbEOng4
“Don’t worry about me” he adds.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡviIiXKGZeR
We finish our lunch in peace. I cannot shake the worries I have over him. I decide if there’s another problem I will call DR forester and ask his opinion.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54gYsQHvQM
Once we’re finished we head back to the car, we’re in the Audi. I watch him, not too closely but just in case. I’ve not seen him look lost before ever. He’s the most self assured person I know. And lost isn’t something I ever associate with him.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ53pBnhoag
“We need to give our home a name” I say to him.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSMMM8Djoo
He smirks.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYXxBhwhDL
“A name?” He asks.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sZJ3k2H3E
“You know we used to call the lake house that because of the lake. We need a new name for this one” I laugh.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2bv6Y35KQ
“Hmmm okay” he smiles humouring me.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXBeC3upKD
“What about cherry tree house” he smiles
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4XueMB3KG
“Jay you are great with names” I laugh.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8wpwwqiusH
“We have cherry blossoms, it’s a feature” he smiles.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAvkabrl2w
“Our cherry tree house” he says softly.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkI59x61Dp4
“I like it” I smile running my hand up his thigh.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXUBcD0eCq
He winks at me and I smile. Gazing out of the window I watch the sun hide behind the clouds, we’ll be back home at cherry tree house soon and I can’t wait to spend another evening with just him.
