Taylor's POV
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jH7do60o0
"My darling" I whisper to Jay, he's fast asleep having been looking after me and Ross all of yesterday. I stroke his hair and he blinks slowly.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcKGBV0meA
"Your mother will be here in a couple of hours" I say softly. Claire has insisted that she sets up for the party/baby shower. Not sure how much she needs to set up, I was thinking more along the lines of a drinks table and a few balloons. Clearly she is way better at parties than myself.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ509msCCXJe
"Mhmmmm" he whispers closing his eyes, and I chuckle tickling him. To him his mother coming over means rolling out of bed pulling on some shorts and bingo he's ready. To me it means exfoliate and shower, apply moisturiser, think for twenty minutes about appropriate classy pregnancy outfits. Apply makeup, and actually get dressed. I sigh and he opens his eyes again.

"My darling" he says softly.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNa9ykVhr4S
"It will be fine, you just gotta let her get everything done and you can relax" he says.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhkWwxDkbf
"Jay what should I wear, it's like 50 degrees. And I'm heavy and like a beached whale. I want to be in a bikini but I can't strut around with my boobs hanging out with our guests" I say getting worked up. He smiles slowly at my little outburst.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtVgkEfvAL0
"Plus what if they start leaking everywhere" I say flustered and he pulls me close.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiJTxHVG5z
"You wear what you please Mon amore. Your boobs leak and I'll pull you aside and attend to them" he smiles.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQCsFuH8g9E
"Don't worry about my mum she's been pregnant and knows what you're going through. Ross looks at your boobs, I'll give him the eye and he'll stop" he adds.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9iddmPga4
He rests his hands on bump smiling, feeling the little kicks and jabs.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TFettxzOI
"I spoke with Ross yesterday when you left" I say not wanting anything to be between us. He listens rubbing my waist.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqaZ0OWkap
"He didn't try anything, but he mentioned how I married you even though he proposed" I say and he nods.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLN4EoU7TAj
"I ended up telling him about the miscarriage, because he was going on about how he wished he'd said something earlier than he did." I tell him and he looks up at me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIfdkyZdb2j
"It's why he's acting weird" I add. Every now and then last night I would catch Ross and meet his eyes, his expression one of concern. Of questions and worry.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPiujR6qmFZ
"Are you okay" he asks concerned, knowing how much talking about the baby I lost upsets me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzxcUL7B5hx
I smile at him and stroke his face, his chiselled cheek bones and his soft lips.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1eKtqCfrk
"Oh, Jay I love you" I tell him, he is considerate and caring at all times.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDRlbNKf2eB
"I love you too" he says softly.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU0h1Lia7RF
"Must have been a shock for him" he says and I nod.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBwIFwlynZ
"He was emotional. I think he needed to know, especially after everything" I explain.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzGbijUwvC
Jay scoops me up into his arms and into his lap on the bed.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLZ1dpKeJo
"I had a dream by the way" he says softly, stroking my hair back looking into my eyes.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkLecvErRxc
"What was it" I reply intrigued.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUc00ei0w0z
"You went into labour" he says smirking, holding my face in his hands.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYkpEWg1Mu
"Don't! If I go into labour here then that will stuff up our plans of an Italy birth" I say laughing.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZwmkAM8ci
Jay picks me up, and I laugh my head falling back.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpuTN6h20z
"You seriously cannot be serious I must weigh a tonne" I chuckle.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarPif1sTNv
"Guns" he replies smirking looking into my eyes.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQ5OdNWpjg
He carries me into the bathroom, setting me down on the tiled floor. He begins drawing a bath in the classic bath tub.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCJgSw7say
"I think it was my subconscious, preparing me for the most important moment of my life" he says looking up at me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9DsFoKT8x
"Safe delivery of my first child, and safety of the love of my life" he explains brushing my hair back.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpeoeCzbFa
"I will make sure you are both safe" he says hands on bump.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbIXvFdQC6e
"And even if you do Taylor go into labour here, we can still do the whole Italian ever after" he smiles up at me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEGKYmr1OX
We bathe together and it relaxes me, I rest back onto his chest and he strokes my hair. I opt for a bikini and shorts, honestly I tried all of my clothes and they either don't fit or they make me feel as though I'm suffocating.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3ZkiEZpUz
"You look wonderful" he comments as I walk out of the walk in wardrobe in my combo. I look over at him in his jeans shorts and polo neck and sigh. He looks like a model and I feel like a huge walrus.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1zf3BDnCss
"No you look wonderful" I say softly.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGiraKGv0B
"Blue suits you" he says looking at the pale blue bikini top.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1HUrLIN9AJ
"This is the closest fitting one" I say and he smirks.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzD41VkQ4BW
"Taylor you're the most perfect pregnant woman I've ever seen" he smiles reassuringly. He tucks my curls behind my ear and we leave the bedroom.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡawPWXWn4f4
Once we're downstairs he opens up the bi-folding doors to the terrace and thankfully a breeze flows through the kitchen as I make up breakfast.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLBn4NGrLF
"Morning guys" Ross comes in as I'm frying up the bacon and eggs.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZD8ySy7qsM
"God Jay, I see what you mean about losing all interest in the gym" he laughs.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefY9PF4h5F
"Told you" he winks at him.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93sSFLnTqG
"However you and I" Jay smirks at him.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyj4MUB0RQ
"We're going to be doing some physio together" he announces and I turn to him laughing.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpxKvOJGwH
"You are really?" I say smirking at Ross. Imagining two blonde shirtless men jumping around in my garden.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWdeeGnzDt
"But first bacon, eggs and baby shower prep" he says laughing.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ6IVpZ68S
They sit down at the oak table and I plate them up two breakfasts. Setting them down on the table Ross looks at me normally and I assume he's slept off his concerns.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP65efdIefk
I rub bump softly before eating and Jay eyes me, looking up from his eggs.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYIkBbeiWF
"Lots of movement" I tell him.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnpPQcdijO
"Do you think babies getting ready" Ross asks.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBGbqMtUwb
"Who knows" I smirk tucking into my bacon and eggs.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdjlPkOpo9
As they chatter and eat, I sit back feeling the baby moving around more than ever. I try to concentrate on my food but it's like he's changing direction inside of me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFrTBKRI7V
"You okay babe" Jay watches me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkji4Oqhw3
"Mmmhmm" I say standing up deserting my breakfast and stretching.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGFfcJ66Lq
"Okay mon amore?" He asks standing up.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ik2Y5vcY5
"Just baby is moving but it feels like he's, I don't know doing somersaults" I say and Ross stands too.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuLHAXBRKzu
"You think baby might be trying to get head down?" Jay asks softly touching bump.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5Fb62N1Mm
I look up to see two pairs of blue eyes watching me concerned. I smile at them both to reassure them. The bell goes and Jay looks to Ross. He nods and walks out into the hall.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW92fN83bjA
"Babies moving a lot Jay" I look up at him and he smirks before holding me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdpaF4gqpc
"I know, I need you to rest and relax mon amore" he says softly and I look at him concerned.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ENlxtWYKK
"What if he is ready" I say freaking out, I most certainly am not.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrJuVBCk66
"Hello darlings" Claire says and Jay looks up smiling at his mum, with his arms still around me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30h7H6xju8
I look up at Claire, her kind eyes which are just like Jays. Ross standing just behind her, smiling at me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEWDHg4yPxK
"What's got you so worried" she says to me reading my emotions.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv58YMyu96i
"Baby is moving so so much" I say and she smiles at me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJ9lTKQGak
"That's a good thing" she reassures me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7U30kniMy
"Can I?" She says indicating that she would like to touch my bump.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqZUOnl2MA
"Of course please" I say softly and she swats her son out of the way, he stands back laughing.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XLYymBf6X
"He hasn't a clue" she smiles up at me rolling her eyes.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6J3QR5GtT
"Let me just see where the movements are" she says touching bump.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0xplhCHPIy
"Like I thought" she smiles up at me, her blonde hair the exact same shade as Jay’s cut into a bob.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFiQqNXGdN
"Babies head is down" she says clearly.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLdxP2krOx
"He's just getting ready to make an appearance don't worry" she smiles up at Jay.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5miWioLzA
"Head down!?" I squeal and Ross laughs.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SCURHJFei
"Yes the kicks are in your ribs right, so his head is down here" she explains and I marvel at her.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnJB015e9P
"That's the pressure you're feeling in your lower belly" she explains and I smile at her.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FR8GL6kkH
"Looks like you haven't got long left" she laughs.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKA7YSWNaN
The worry I feel dissipates around Jay’s mum, she's easy breezy but she also cares greatly. I hug her, I'm not normally a touchy feely person. But she pulls me in wiping her eyes.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKs5mlcGLWp
"I'm going to be a grandmother very soon" she smiles holding me at arms length.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6TFanj4rr
"Right little kicker isn't he" she laughs tears in her eyes.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN84EnY16JS
"How long do you think we have" I ask her, she is my fountain of knowledge.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxhczwWdl7
"Well, I have to say, I don't know for sure. It can be anything between hours and weeks Taylor" she explains.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUJo8ndKyC
"There's just no way to know until you start feeling those contractions" she smiles and hands me back to Jay.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15Bvercz3c
"Jay dropped head down, engaged in place and was born within two days" she says and I gasp.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0PqN0RsT2
“So let’s do this baby shower” she says looking at both of us.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16zlsqcGxh
“You take it easy” she glances at me.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJQeMDiNbk
“However you two, will be very handy” she smiles at Jay and Ross and I laugh.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3MJU6jrME
“Claire, what would you like to drink” I ask her and she smiles.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FHUi3AZ4A
“A coffee, I would kill for one” she laughs.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzG2ieBzJS
“I’ll get it” Jay says softly heading over to the coffee machine and firing it up.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvIJDDEepq
Claire has bought a lot of stuff, I can tell from the suitcases lined up in the hall. And the cardboard boxes.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ847qVJDz2O
“This is my first grandchild” she laughs at my expression.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKObBaV8uX6
I smirk and she calls Ross over almost snapping her fingers, he obliges carrying the large boxes through to the kitchen.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBilo6XKZ8
“We have a balloon arch, banners. Some of those cute block things with baby written on them” she explains.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpk7PgKQApm
“Fairy lights, games” she goes on and I laugh.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eGrXmZP1Z
“Coffee mum” Jay calls over.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjiqs1mtsB
“This is going to be the most brilliant baby shower there ever was” she says with a twinkle in her eyes.
84Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2SBQcI6iV
“Oh and I got you a sash” she exclaims.
