Taylor's POV
26Please respect copyright.PENANAS0oPrtTk2q
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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAefXnnDNhqv
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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAGi40UuY7NY
"Yes so could we choose delivery nearer the time" Jay enquirers.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA4PI4UGEUzj
"Of course when would you like the items to arrive sir" Greg, the salesmen asks. In this store the staff are impeccably dressed.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAjrg4CqKrrL
"Say 4 months time" Jay says looking at me for help.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAM7XU7q3zzG
I smile.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAkwuGuDz8ys
"Yes that should work" I say.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAPmtWk62dHw
"Of course" Greg replies sorting it all out on the computer.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA8Icfle8DMm
"What was your colour choice ?" He smiles.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAKzBljEZsex
"I like the black but it's up to you" Jay says smiling at me.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAugp7zgRa0d
"Black is neutral and classic" I say softly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAtJM57NqeAo
"But" he laughs.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAT4GnCWd3zu
"No it is totally impractical" I laugh.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA4EBScbldaB
"You like the cream" he says reading my mind.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAy1Z1xvwHIi
“I like the cream colour” I say to him smiling.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAQCq59M6kRC
Jay smiles at me.
26Please respect copyright.PENANARShLfa0p09
“The fabric is pretty stain resistant to be fair and it’s all wipe clean” Greg informs me smiling.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAtTLhJ4TiMX
“The cream then” Jay smiles looking at me.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAMaaZgwkLRp
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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAS6Kym4WVcb
Once everything is ordered, several thousands of pounds later we browse the clothes and sleep sacks.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAOEw0ZSG3xQ
“What’ve you picked already” he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAYTL7KuaRBY
“Little socks and baby grows” I smile showing him and he holds the tiny clothes in his hands.
26Please respect copyright.PENANABhNZiq4xa6
“They’re so tiny” he says.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAUWMwgwVUVT
Naturally I am drawn to the blue and he begins picking up all the baby pink stuff.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAtxYFXjE56Q
“Maybe we buy gender neutral, until we know” I say.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAl3TOzag3dB
“You wanna find out” he teases me.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA6rOKWC1DgP
“I do I think you’re right, painting the room and buying the clothes I think actually it makes sense” I say.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAwn5Q6vSn9K
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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAjhnxKPeAR4
“That’s actually really good because I’m impatient” He laughs.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAtr1SqAAFbx
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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAkgOXlC2J2F
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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAeOByjO8UI3
“You okay, Jay” I say softly reaching my hands out.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAcOw8rb2W2w
He smiles at me.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAbuJoirvM9B
“I’m fine” he says but I’m not leaving it there.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAmhTMeTSUQw
I stroke his hands in mine. Softly, my approach is going to be gentle.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAg8eipIh9I5
“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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAwqxORGPWum
“You’ve just come out of hospital with a head injury Jay” I say
26Please respect copyright.PENANAfTKAXIsqe0
“It must be related, but it’s okay we can sort it” I say softly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA4hB4p31cK5
“Just you being here helps” he smiles. I stroke his arms across the table.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAUjKfJUOFjd
“Let’s just keep an eye on it. I’m gonna look after you” I say. He smiles softly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAHQS6lWr9pP
“No I’m supposed to look after you” he says.
26Please respect copyright.PENANADy3lXZGM9r
“And you do, always so think of it as pay back” I smile.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAGxv5feJngT
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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA6UZjGOlVA4
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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAHsN9ikF5nJ
“No Taylor” he says.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAzhwxlHiOaM
“Don’t you do that this is not your fault” he says.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7XCV7YL0wX
“How is it you can read my mind” I say
26Please respect copyright.PENANA3MBwBJArcg
“Because I’m very good at deciphering your thoughts from your body language” he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA8sxCCwGERp
“Firstly this isn’t your fault, and second I’m not confused anymore there’s nothing to be worried about” he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAZGDvaNSH8d
“Are you sure” I say to him concerned.
26Please respect copyright.PENANALwSN72HOlF
“Hundred percent” he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAeJkpM1Qxcz
“Eat” he smirks at me.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA8qylOmiX5i
“Don’t worry about me” he adds.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAXOCCFzM1Jc
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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAF4nGCyBfHU
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.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAyiXVpq7Mwl
“We need to give our home a name” I say to him.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAEviNDvSGH6
He smirks.
26Please respect copyright.PENANA7twfxG46e6
“A name?” He asks.
26Please respect copyright.PENANALCFS1I4VD3
“You know we used to call the lake house that because of the lake. We need a new name for this one” I laugh.
26Please respect copyright.PENANABJJ4MbLFft
“Hmmm okay” he smiles humouring me.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAkPMX1Z55Ss
“What about cherry tree house” he smiles
26Please respect copyright.PENANAxAh28OPmpK
“Jay you are great with names” I laugh.
26Please respect copyright.PENANADrfLgvfBK8
“We have cherry blossoms, it’s a feature” he smiles.
26Please respect copyright.PENANATFUM8pHSM7
“Our cherry tree house” he says softly.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAibWya8c4tK
“I like it” I smile running my hand up his thigh.
26Please respect copyright.PENANAoUBTLtmf5j
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.
