Jays POV

"Henry" I look down at Taylor holding our newborn as we walk out through the hall.

"Henry Andrew Gilbert Scott" she smiles looking down at him. In true Gilbert Scott style he is currently asleep in his mother's arms. His lips closed together, porcelain skin and blonde curls. He inherited my hair colour and Taylor's wavy curls, it's truly adorable.

“Do you like it?” She asks and I smile at her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCvFlacCpw
“It think his perfect” I say my eyes glistening. Having my father’s name within his full name is a wonderful idea, Taylor is full of the best ideas. She thinks about everybody and how to please them.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSMsN3Ugbe4
"Jay" she says softly handing me Henry.

"You okay, mon amour" I ask her Matthew is behind us, somehow since he potentially saved her life, he doesn't aggravate me anymore. Moreover since I have a child, that Taylor quite rightly so indicated, is looking up to me it’s not my place to be bitter or to be angry. We created a child together, I couldn’t ask for more in my life, apart from maybe a second little baby. The true miracle that is new life has taken me and altered my perspective on the future.

"I'd just like you to hold him, please show him to your dad. It may make me cry considering how excited he's been" she laughs and I cradle my son into my bare chest. Currently he's a very content baby, I mean what baby wouldn't be having a natural wonderful mother like my wife.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3Ny1oV4Xk
"Of course" I smile down at her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CrRRHZXd1
"We need to take pictures too" she whispers looking up at me.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjunPCswJc
"I'll take them, that way you can both enjoy the moment" Matthew says and I turn and smile at him.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZQlMTVeMA
“Thank you Matthew” she tears up and I rub her back as we walk into the living room at cherry tree.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbOnr4GkYH
“And I’ll take the one with you in, holding the baby” I say. He beams at me, my friend that looked out for my wife when I needed him too.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWuDERvIlwT
My mother smiles up at me, pure pride on her face seeing me hold my little baby. I always knew it would mean a lot to her, but really actually living in this moment far exceeds any imaginary life I could have made up to please her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOkqJpWCJEA
Rachel hugs Taylor straight away, and I’m taken back by her need to know that she is safe. I already assumed Rachel to be un-feeling but her and Taylor have become close.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYexCGOUCNI
She holds Taylor tightly.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOQgwIIUu4
“Thank God you’re okay” she says and Taylor smiles hugging her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsq6In3Sjx
“Always” Taylor says softly wiping her eyes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNsavp0pjz
“How’s the baby is it a little boy” she smiles and Taylor nods. I show Henry to our friends before taking him over to my dad. Promising hugs and cuddles with them as Rachel swoons at his little face and cheeks.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaf5ULIDFD
"Dad" I say softly as he looks at me with more pride and respect than he ever has done, more than when I became a COO to our company. This achievement, and this honour of becoming a dad far exceeds any other title.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3Pe7ivUCM
My father crying is not something I have ever imagined would happen, a tear forms in his eyes and I wipe my own. Taylor is balling, my mum wiping tears away from her face as she stands next to us. Matthew snapping pictures to my left.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObDv4jhNho
"This is your grandson" I finish handing him the little bundle that is my child. Our flesh and blood.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9600h3rKBM
“Henry Andrew Gilbert Scott” I say and Taylor clutches my arm.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Tnj9T1fiX
“Henry Andrew” he chokes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Tdh4G0gUt
“Yes dad it was Taylor’s idea” I say not wanting to take her due credit.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOA5sed2mli
“I happen to think her ideas are always on point” I say smiling at her.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxLEP1zzXW
“Taylor you are the most wonderful woman, my son could not have married another. And no other would put up with him” he chuckles and Taylor hugs him. Not one woman apart from my mother hugs my father, no other person would dare for the fear of being pushed away by such a stoic sensible man. But Taylor he adores her, embracing her. I begin to wonder whether my mum having another child, a daughter, would have changed his personality. I was such an unbearable son, in my younger days.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKd5H8dxj9
“Congratulations boy” he says looking up at me.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaje4YsdBsG
“Now” he begins.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhoIs2435k
“You have everything” he smiles and I couldn’t agree more.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv773b7sGv
He gazes down at Henry with Taylor and they chatter.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrx2dZmTsr
“You must have fed him he’s a happy little baby isn’t he” dad laughs and I hear Taylor inform him that he’s been feed and spat some of it down my shirt. He chuckles as my mum faces me her hand on my back.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaa7dqCyyd
“Now do you remember Jay” she begins and I laugh just knowing what she’s going to bring up. The summer before I met Taylor and she took me to a dodgy fortune teller in Dubai who predicted all consuming love in my future. A family and a wife. Happiness.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQK2sVt5ha
“I think you owe the yogi a tip” she laughs and I snicker looking up at Matthew. He’s the only person I’ve told about the entire exchange. He smiles up at me and snaps a picture.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzw31S8WwW
“That’s a keeper of a picture” he smirks.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBctJ7EOp2
“I’ll capture it Jay Gilbert Scott realises that he was wrong” he laughs and I jibe with him.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZlJDwCSwj
“Congratulations my darling” my mother smiles. I look down at Taylor, there’s not one person in this world that she cannot charm my father included.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dCp4fRLML
“Okay Andrew” my mother says and Taylor glances up at me smiling.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbn3wfBN6Px
“Share the baby around” she says and he extends the baby for my mother to hold.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTp8gOlHCnk
She cradles him in her arms and holds him watching the way he moves his lips and sleeps like an angel.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvPKK6nbFZ
“What an amazing mummy and daddy you have Henry” she smiles.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHU6VbYqiaG
“You will be the most loved baby” she smiles handing him over to Taylor’s mother, Evelyn.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhRwwDW0eC
Evelyn is a very kind woman who cares deeply for those around her. She doesn’t talk too much and isn’t overbearing. Instead she shows her care through her actions.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV5RHZbRgy
“Henry” she smiles cooing him and eventually passing him back to Taylor. I watch her mother and how she cares for Taylor, I need to make more space for Evelyn in Taylor’s life.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLMjtu6d9K
“Thanks mom” Taylor tears up.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHwFPM5JtY
“Congratulations my darling” she says kissing Taylor on her forehead and hugging me.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7u5v12ckb
“Matthew” Taylor says handing him Henry next as I take my phone out ready to take a few pictures.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVw6LjKqkek
“He’s truly wonderful isn’t he” Matthew smiles up at her. She looks at Henry and smiles touching his hair.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3mtbsc8Gl
“Thankyou Matthew” she says softly.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DzQzWaVh3
“For being there for us” she says.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQF6YQhNzb3
“Throughout most of this” she smiles and he tears up. He took her to the midwife appointment, he kept her safe and he was there at the birth.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJZGl7seZW
“Of course” he smiles looking into her eyes.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvjn7Gtz4P
“Congratulations” he says softly to the both of us. Gently handing Henry back to her as she embraces him.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrDbo9d8RL
“Mon amour” I smile at her and sit her down next to our friends with the baby. I’m conscious of her tiring and fainting again.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliMDgIqQQU
“Ohhh” Rachel says looking down at Henry as Taylor places him in her arms.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Vxf1cHbVT
“He’s beautiful like you Tay” she smiles and she’s spot on.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8lSoQfDDDj
“What a little dude” she laughs.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNP7MqKubKZ
I stand next to Matthew watching the others coo over our new baby.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Hm6h9T6BY
“Congratulations” Olivia smiles sitting with Ross as they both look down at the baby in Ross’ arms.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4uY2gjaFT
“Looks like you might be next man” I whisper to Matthew watching Olivia. He gives me a wry smile.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTg5SusLtq
“I have a feeling” he whispers.
17Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFcxno4lvd
“You’ll be having another one by next year”
He smirks and I pat him on the shoulder, laughing.
