Now I'm the one swinging the door open to the intensive care room. Everybody's face looking up at me as I enter pulling my leather jacket off with an armful of pizza boxes in my hand which I caught off the lazy delivery guy on my way back in.

"Wahey" Rachel smiles and I can tell they've been speculating just by the twinkle in her eye.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcuBd527z8
"Any news?" I ask laying the pizzas down refusing to look at Taylor. Jay winks at me and I hold back my laughter.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡly89zM79Fg
"No Matty we thought you'd know seen as you're friendly with the nurse" Rachel blurts out and I wonder how long she's been dying to say that.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4FEbZUd1M
I snort at her as she grabs a slice of ham and pineapple.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqgduZQ2zs
"The nurse keeps asking me for a word alone. She just followed me to the smoking area. The nurse needs to leave me alone" I say huffing.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBtPTfCeD1T
"Yeah, yeah" Rachel laughs and I shoot her a look.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAmfxL3Fac
"Just enjoy your pizza" I say sarcastically. Jay laughs and I smirk at him.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6AwZxHt1d
"Got your leathers back on" Jay comments smirking.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIYrtLRhDe
"Oh shh you" I tell him and he laughs.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4y9oS0iTjX
"You look fucking formal for the hospital" I say jibing at him. It's a tailored suit, pricey. He's taken off the jacket and rolled his shirt sleeves up.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEDWj2h45z
"I'm a COO now, Matthew. Not a student" he laughs back.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSJpDGAaZD
"What's a COO" Rachel asks and I almost face palm.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3xBe7lmvD
Jay grabs pizza for Taylor and himself explaining to an ignorant Rachel what his job is. I glance up at Taylor briefly. She smirks at me her eyes catching mine and I look back down at my plate trying not to laugh. It's the most normal moment we've all had together since we heard the news about Ross.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW3G4eaD2t
"Fuck me" a small voice utters from the bed and Taylor practically jumps up chucking pizza everywhere rushing to Ross.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAo0t1dpVY3
"I'm definitely still alive if I can hear Jay going on about business and smell pizza" Ross laughs.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxg7hUgtgl
Taylor strokes his face and his hair. Jay standing just slightly behind her.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcm1N8nWKfY
"Ross" she sobs.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡavQZ1U0NZ0
"Taylor" he croaks.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPPzMSxoSZ
"Fucking good to hear your voice man" Jay says and I'm almost positive he's tearing up. Which is bizarre to me. He really is going soft.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecuPSaVQvl
"Jay you look dapper" he says and we all chuckle.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4a9nu5ozJ
"How's the pain" Taylor asks and she strokes him again.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH612JEBJ5F
"I can't feel shit which is either really bad or really good I can't tell" he says.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6VtwCHwQH
"Ross you almost" she sobs and he shh's her.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBsIRig8PjH
"I'm here" he says and he sounds raspy but just like Ross, she grasps his hand.
"Matty" he says and I stand up.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02ApEUS9pt
"Yeah man" I manage.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDCIfyXIHS
"Before the drugs send me to sleep again. I just wanted to say, thank you. For driving around and finding me. The nurse told me" he says and Rachel rolls her eyes.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfkmYzhznxM
"No problem" I smile down at him.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4cgV12Qv1
Taylor cries, full on cries and my instinct kicks in. I go to rub her back, quickly noticing Jay's hand is already there and end up styling it out grabbing a pizza box instead.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZI9FhCbZr
"Ross" Taylor sobs.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn30sGEtbyf
"Hey now" he slurs slightly. He takes a full look at her and his eyes widen.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMGIZocS7j
"You're super pregnant" he smiles.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rcsc6bkDT
"I am" she chuckles and Jay rubs her waist.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7swhouZvBa
"Ohhh" she looks down and Jay jumps slightly a wide smile spreading across his face.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizqwkf2Ndd
"He just kicked again" Taylor announces wiping her eyes.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoVTpvnv8vO
"Wow guys can I feel" Rachel asks surprisingly. I never really saw her as the baby type. She's not selfless, she's usually more consumed by herself.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4328SSOrX
"Course" Taylor smiles.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEg5gUn6rlu
Rachel places her hands on Taylor's bump and we all wait. I'm sure if it wasn't for the machines we would all be in utter silence.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWR5rSzLjY
"Oh guys" she smiles eyes watering looking up at them.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FUvKLoWoA
"Babies a little kicker" she says softly, and I'm altogether taken back by her interest in something other than herself.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaOLHNLM0h
"He's been kicking all morning" Taylor smiles and then looks back down at Ross.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL21okpZPSc
"I was worried about you the night of the accident" she whispers to him.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjsRfMcq8R
"Without knowing anything I was just worried" she adds baffled and emotional.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKKHJYzNwCc
"Taylor" he whispers softly and the door opens again.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulWckLLAYw
Olivia, makes her entrance. It's every hour isn't it ? I sigh knowing that all eyes are on me, including Olivia's. She glances at me and I look down at the pizza box. She smirks and I remember her comment earlier about Rachel ordering loads of pizza.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8caB8fXXsF
"Hey there, Ross" she says shining a light in his eyes and performing her checks.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmnUAdGjwO
"Wow hey that's bright" he smirks.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn5WVfMzOw
"How's the pain from 1 to 10?" She asks.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGfCIWvbQK
"Be honest you don't have to be a strong man in front of me" she laughs.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KzVkAlMiU
"It's definitely a 9" he says quietly. Taylor looking from Olivia to Ross strokes his hair back again.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqRKIxaVSA
Olivia hits a button to release pain meds. Shes all business. She doesn't notice any of my friends watching her.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fHeiLACP5
"I'm going to report back, and the doctors may decide ICU is no longer necessary. You may be moved to another bed. Your mum has paid for a private suite" she explains.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2nGltQLZe
She fills out the chart and flips at her clipboard. I look up and Jay is trying to contain himself from making a comment. I warn him with my eyes and he takes a seat back down in his armchair.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgRSf9wzRU
"My mums here" Ross asks.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgnURM31Db
"Yeah man she flew over" I say softly.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKukhIkElD7
He looks up at the ceiling as the pain medication kicks back in and I glance over at Taylor in Jays lap. His hands are on bump again and they’re giggling about how the baby is moving.
228Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaaCH3V9uM
Ross falls back asleep and Olivia leaves the room with a small nod towards me. I decide another cigarette escape would cause me more aggravation than it’s worth. I go back to watching Taylor, and wishing it was me she was laying on instead of her husband.
