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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZyv8DsrUt
"I know" I smile back at him, waiting for the little kicks.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29ZGb3uKPa
"Today I'm going to take you to a lemon grove" he announces smiling rubbing me still; no little kicks.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKAof2TJjot
"Lemons are pretty much a speciality in the amalfi coast" he smiles as I stroke his hair again and his jaw.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWbHJFXPsED
"We can even purchase some limoncello" he smiles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCGI3G2AE4
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCpKQSqzQpD
"Mhmmm" I respond, trying to remain calm and wait for the kicks and jabs.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiQatXnpFLE
"Can you put your hands there again" I ask him and he looks at me; concerned by my tone.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyu4OEqyqq9
"It's just" I say softly. He sweeps his hands over Henry and I feel nothing.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPjgnIVXbR
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGAfFHBpl4
Once the call connects he calmly explains our concern and nods waiting. He watches me whilst he's on hold.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEnQBRxNiD
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7WrqzLe2b8
"Yes, general health is good, checkup was last week too" he explains.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx70IX2Llec
"We most certainly will try all of those" he says calmly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQfXuiiJ92C
"Would you mind ? That would be fantastic" he adds softly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQzKX17eyP
"Of course" he says thanking the midwife and ending the call.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6TS3fmfqd8
Placing his phone on the side he lays down next to me. Pulling me into him, with his arms around my hips.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpkUW4cp7W
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJDYkR4opB
"Or a short little burst of exercise" he smiles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmmNvfSnGf
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOBuPhRw7K
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjl4aWI9RG
"It's super cold" he says coming back into the room with a glass of ice cold water.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoDasz3Bmy8
I take a sip and he kisses my forehead, wiping my eyes.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJiqoDHdTB0
"Darling" he says softly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xe12kcawl
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xwOA9yJT8
He glances down at Henry, moves his hands down and bends in front of me in just his boxers.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hgLD6QJWX
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZogv6T9bdJ
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsFJoK7Ddh
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3sCAtL75Pc
"I'm going to hold you when you're sleeping" he smiles and I wipe my eyes.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDQKVkU2DA
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2p6Ab0gHwC
"Mummy says no, but we can have sleepy cuddles" he smirks looking at my tummy.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZdaEpTZgj
He kisses my tummy and I play with his hair again.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRNTaCVMpn
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqJPvWgfUd
"I love you" I whisper and he smiles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNeo9o4nLk6
"I love you" he says.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJGmrSHvJoB
"Now let's get everything checked anyways, everything is okay but just to ease your mind" he says softly, stroking my hair back.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbYPp8h6w1R
"Plus I would like to see my boy" he says softly kissing me.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmxTrsBud2
"In Italy" I ask, melting into his touch.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOC7fBaCGN
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6P523aOSy
"Jay you're already the best daddy ever" I say softly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknTqfA32MW
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgF0kd2r5sU
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7NIHk0Ifk
"Hey, do you remember that shower we shared in my dorm room" I laugh and he scoffs.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbsgHOGS2xR
"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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBinbaUNPT
"Look at us now; married, pregnant and in a fancy shower that's almost the size of that entire university bedroom" I laugh.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGR7z7xU2zp
"You know" he whispers turning me around and letting the water stream down my back.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ58XxUzlHp
"I used to think about all of this back then" he whispers.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbXfnI3Lxf
"Babies and fancy showers, with you as my wife" he smirks.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNS3AwZPAU
"Ohh really" I ask him and he turns me back to him.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrI9PEaFY4
"Yes really" he smiles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTfeiKPe4P
"And that reminds me actually; baby shower, mum has been going on about dates" he says water dripping down his slick hair.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7StQp2TsgD
"I can't wait" I tell him.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0QDoetQ9y
"I'll give you her number and you can plan" he explains as he turns the shower off and grabs towels for us.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuoNFv6uXBc
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcp399dryr
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtdhSXXFZZ
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatxI3Ph4tY
"You don't need makeup" he whispers looking at me through the mirror.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BfKaYrX6N
"You're glowing" he smiles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaPHa34ETi
He massages my shoulders and I look up at him.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiPAOthzyB
"All booked" he says softly kissing my neck.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83crWPb3h1
"I'll drive us after breakfast in the Mazda" he laughs, and I swat him.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGTFI1CZMc
“Maserati, Mazda same thing!” I laugh and he chuckles.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXOn1mWJ9kP
"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.
