Taylor's POV
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFXCMiXf6B
"Mmmm" I say slowly as he scoops up my hair off of my back and ties it into a high ponytail for me. The taste of his lips on my mouth and the feel of him responding to my every single need. Whether it's just me being too hot or me needing honey and almond cake in the morning or just me needing his hands on me. Ross literally baked me a cake at seven am this morning and now I'm in his arms being spoon fed the homemade almond and honey cake as he kisses my neck. I'm not sure that I could be more spoilt if I tried.

"It's so good" I smile looking up at him briefly as we stand in the farmhouse kitchen, his shirt swinging around my bare hips. His blonde hair pulled back into a knot.

“It is huh?” He whispers before feeding me another spoon with cream on it. I nod and he watches me intently holding me close to his chest.

“It is, we should open up a bakery” I sigh looking into his true blue eyes and seeing the small grin that appears over his face. The look of forever in his eyes. No sounds other than the slow rhythm of our breathing and the morning birds flocking outside. The table top dusted with flour and a bowl of cherries sitting on the side. Sugar and baking powder in the wicker basket that needs to go back down to the pantry. A large electric mixer still dripping with the cake mix.

“Honestly I would do that with you, Mrs Peterson” he whispers before feeding me again, one hand on bump as the baby kicks away at him. Warm hazy sunshine rolling in through the clouds that are dispersing. Leaving an untouched new blue sky underneath.

“Mmm you’re going to be my husband” I whisper as he holds up another spoon of almonds and crystallised sugared sponge.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8X5AQ6S2Y
“I am honey” he smiles watching me eat as I attempt to be delicate about it.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8FSt0aycA
“I remember a time when my only dreams had been being able to wake you up and do whatever you pleased.” He whispers kissing my neck.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDo7UpK1S4
“Like baking cakes” I whisper as he giggles, a low throaty sound that makes me smile.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPGmzxz1GVf
“Like baking cakes, holding you in my arms, playing with your hair.” He whispers slowly between kisses and twirling my ponytail in his hands.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡryQQvwfUqe
“Like feeling your pregnant belly” he whispers.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtR8alGoQWH
“Baby got bigger overnight” I laugh wrapping my arms over bump and swaying slightly. His chin resting in my neck as he sways with me.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0ARWJJTDy
“More?” He asks softly as I nod, watching him spoon more cake up from the bowl.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY6CDJxTNdd
“Our babies going to enjoy cake huh?” He smirks and I rest my bump in his hands. Letting him take the weight of the baby and hold onto him for me.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEzIW1JK3z
“He is, I was thinking names” I whisper looking out at the still water in the pool.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmFS3WxZFC
“Tommy” I begin slowly and his hands rub up the T-shirt travelling over my bare skin.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiNZavh2Nv
“Jude” I continue breathing in as he clutches onto me.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGtSPnhtbb
“I like Jude” he whispers and I close my eyes feeling his soft touch. His fingertips all over bump as the baby softly taps away at him, following his fingertips.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzfiN1pkFd
“Henry, Emilia and Jude” he whispers and I giggle.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPqkE0ifwN
“It works” I nod seeing him scoop up cake again and feed me. Slowly he turns me around and kisses my lips, the bowl discarded as he lifts me up on the countertop.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar49DlfGZ7
“You are distracting me from baking my next cake” he laughs and I smile wrapping my arms around him and pulling him towards me.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHiIAbdYlP5
“That is a good thing” I whisper playing with his Calvin Kleins.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTyIOEWvUV
“I love you and our family” he says and I smile.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uB1e4RQYH
“I love you Ross Peterson” I smile, his hands floating under the shirt and scooping it over my head. I link my arms and legs around him and he carries me through the hall and back up the stairs to our bedroom.

“I didn’t think Rach and Chris would want to wander through the vineyard and see a show” he chuckles in my ear, his body surrounding me.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjgPH6WjOlb
“I just cannot keep my hands off of you” he sighs and his eyes glisten eyeing my bare body underneath him.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa03h9tKEkd
“It doesn’t put you off” I whisper softly looking up at him as the voiles close around the bed. In my mind, my body isn’t perfect. Being that I am over half way through my third pregnancy, feeling the heat of the extra weight and the aches from holding a baby inside of my womb. Sexy isn’t a term I would attribute with myself.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZYEm1j0FOS
“Lord Taylor” he whispers watching me closely with a wry smile. Lowering his head to my ear and stroking my hair back.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68jc56tJG7
“You’re the most beautiful woman in this whole entire world” he whispers.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6DRjOehZj
“Being with you has been my life ambition, I’ll have you know” he smiles before easing into me slowly and kissing me. Two palms either side of my face as he stares into my eyes.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNNxG26Tz7G
“So no you being pregnant does not put me off” he says clearly.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nB6bnarYH
“In fact you being pregnant is absolutely beautiful” he whispers as I hold his hips keeping him inside of me. My eyes staring into his own, his soft skin and the thrusts that send me to heaven.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8UZSXGu3h
“My wife” he whispers looking into my eyes as I sigh and he pulls my hands up lifting them lightly over my head. Grasping them between his own hands and maintaining my eye contact.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWN3yZErf7
“I’ve loved you since the first moment I saw you” he smiles watching me blush. Closing my eyes as the pleasure builds and I see all of the moments I’ve spent with him. From kissing as eighteen year olds at freshers parties to being engaged to be wed. Under circumstances that although are unusual he makes everything perfect. I cry out his name and he holds me in his strong embrace as we both come undone.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXre8Hy3V5
“You’re beautiful Taylor” he whispers lying on his side propped up on his elbow as he strokes over bump. I smile and rest my hand over his as we take in the silence of the farmhouse, only our breaths and valiant beating hearts can be heard.

Taking life slowly for the rest of the morning as we bathe together in the large tub, a centrepiece to the marble bathroom. Ross massages my back and I lay against him looking up at the ceiling with the painted arches. The sky lights that let light fall down unto us. Ross checked the water temperature twice, not wishing to make it too hot being that I’m pregnant. It wouldn’t be Ross if he didn’t help me out of the bath and carry me through to our bedroom, setting me down in the walk in wardrobe as I pull out a short silk dress.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNHV7ONnOE
The ivory silk material slips over me and bump as he lounges back and I smile watching him gaze up at me. My hair dried in loose tendrils of waves and a light face of makeup.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Cty74FUNV
“Oh” he gasps slowly before eyeing me warily. His white shirt open and his tan chest exposed. His expression drops and concern flits over his face. I scoop half of my curls up and wonder want could be bothering him. Clutching bump to assure myself that my baby is okay, it’s my first priority.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡncNTqahKny
“What is it darling?” I whisper watching him, Ross had retrieved his phone from the bedside drawer in the spare room that he had been using. We charged it up and now he’s glaring at it.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTei0Icim4
“It’s Matthew” he whispers refusing to look at my eyes. My mind falters, panic floods as I begin to imagine that something may have happened to him. Why break an almost six year silence, I think idly, then I realise perhaps he knows from Kimberly that Jay has sadly passed away.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0usKqEyjH
“It’s just a missed call, just one” he whispers as I pace the bedroom and climb over the duvet, instinctively embracing Ross in my arms. Imagining Matthew calling him and not thinking to dial my number. It’s bizarre to me how Matthew has erased me from his whole psyche like I just ceased to exist in his brain. Any form of love I had for him dies in the knowledge that he, even in the knowledge of Jay passing away, thought to call Ross and refused to pick up the phone and ask if I was okay.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPPmcOik3F
“A few days ago” he whispers showing me his call list.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HtZbqSC9L
“Ignore it” I whisper as he watches me closely. Shocked at first by my nonchalance, appeased and relieved as he rubs my back cradling me in his arms.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJEH3XW066
“Honestly Ross what good could come out of it, he could have called me!? He could have asked if I was okay but he didn’t. He clearly knows what’s happened and now he wants to talk” I say slowly.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ401Sef87vA
“Has to be on his terms though right, years later and he decides to waltz back in” I laugh almost hysterically. Collecting myself together I gaze into Ross’ eyes, my soon to be husband, and I erase the name Matthew from my mind. A perfect morning will not be ruined by his intrusion.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhSexjPVu8
“Besides any of that, just no.” I say finally exasperated as he shh’s me and rubs bump.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBl7Z63STkf
“I won’t let anything happen that you don’t want too, you don’t want to deal with him we won’t” he says simply.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaELQ8WeKt
“Now” he smiles rubbing my silk dress and smiling.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PrBDugqU4
“Let’s bake that chocolate cake for the babies” he smiles rubbing bump slowly and kissing my lips.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Tp5mez0Vn
“Ross” I whisper as he carries me from the bed towards the door.
9Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrYfgr0vnX
“Nothing changes what we have. Nothing” I whisper looking into his eyes and seeing nothing but the man I love. His lips find my own as he holds me possessively through our farmhouse.
