Set 4 years after summer and seths wedding

Chapter 1

It had been 4 years since Summer and seths wedding at Seths parents, Sandy and Kirstens home in Berkely. Taylor could still remember everything in full details, especially how Ryan had looked that day. He took her breath away, she still couldn't believe he could do that to her, but here 4 years down the line even thinking of him took her breath away.

Present day

Taylor was stood looking over at the pool where she saw her 3year old son playing, and she couldn't believe how perfect he was, sure he had her glistening hazel eyes but everything else was his fathers and just like his father, he took her breath away every time she looked at him.

" what're you doing baby" she asked with a huge smile on her face as she scooped up her little boy.

" I want to play with parker" he said it in such a sad voice it nearly broke Taylors heart, Parker was family and she wanted them to play together too, but what could she do?, he was going to be home any minute.

Just as she had just thought of him coming home, the front door opened and slammed shut.

" quickly jamie, take your toys to your room and mummy will be there in a minute ok?" she was flustered as she put him down to collect his toys, she hurried him up and the ushered him inside and into his bedroom, where she closed the door and sighed. It was time to face him, " what had happened in my life for me to deserve this" she thought to herself, as she walked down the hall to the kitchen.

Flashback

" Taylor I got it, I got it," Ryan yelled through the apartment "taylor, did you hear me? I got it" he had the biggest smile on his face as he passed her the letter. Sure enough it was the letter Taylor had been dreading they had only been together for 4 weeks surely ryan couldn't be leaving her already, in the 4 weeks they had spent together they had both found themselves falling in love again, this wasn't fair but then again life never is.

Ryan had applied for a big arcitechture company in London, it was going to be the best thing to happen to him, but he hadn't thought that he would fall in love with taylor again so quickly, but then again had he ever really stopped loving her.

" they want me to start this Thursday"

" but todays Tuesday, that means you'll have to leave tonight" and she knew that their happiness was over, he would get on with his life and she would get on with hers, separately.

Taylor felt like her heart was breaking into a million pieces as she watched him pack, not once did he look up and see the hurt in her eyes, did he not realise that he was causing her actual pain, sure they had agreed at summer and seth's wedding that they were going to see how things went, and sure she knew that he'd applied for this job, but nothing had prepared her for him actually leaving.

Present day

As taylor walked into the kitchen she saw him standing at the fridge, swiftly moving his hand through his sandy hair but he didn't take her breath away.

" hey, how was work?"

He turned around to face her, and she could see the look on his face, it was going to be one of those days. Taylor had got used to these days, she knew them too well.

Taylor and Scott had been together for the last 2 and a half years, it had started so perfect, but now she knew it wasn't perfect and neither was he.

" where is he?" scott asked looking around for jamie and making sure nothing was out of place or broken.

" in his room, playing" taylor sighed, she hated to shut her son away but she would hate it even more if scott ever hurt jamie like he hurt her.

" good, make sure he stays there"

Taylor nodded and said no more, she politely handed him his mail and dinner and made a beeline for jamie's room, where she would stay until scott fell asleep.

Flashback

" summer, I need to talk can I come over" taylor almost cried into the phone, it had been nearly 8 weeks since he'd left and yet she was still totally heartbroken, and this, this had made her feel worse.

"townsend do you even need to call, I'm your best friend, just come over" summer nearly shouted into the phone.

" cohen, taylor's coming round, she sounds upset, so I'm telling you now if you so much as mention atwood, I will kick your scrawny ass, got it" summer knew seth wouldn't dare now but she couldn't help but punch him in the arm anyway. " yes oh masterful one" he said sarcastically at his wife, just as the doorbell rang.

" summer, oh thank god, I really need to talk to you"

" I know taylor you just called me remember, now just spill before I have a major rage blackout" summer smiled trying to lighten the mood, she knew taylor was here to talk and judging by the state of her, summer knew it wasn't going to be good.

" I'm pregnant, I just got out of the doctors and they confirmed it, I'm 10 weeks and I'm due on September 16th" taylor knew she'd rambled but she had to get it all out before she started crying again.

"say what, your joking right, I mean you haven't been with anyone since atwood, unless you just didn't tell and in that case I'm going to go kid chino on your ass" summer was flustered and shocked and surprised but once she had a minute to think she knew " its ryans,"

Taylor nodded and the tears began, she'd heard it from someone elses lips and that was it, it had finally sunk in she was having ryans baby.

Summer rushed to her best friend just before Taylors legs gave way, " hey come on shhhh, its going to be fine, you have us" seth poked his head round the doorway, he'd heard everything " when are you going to tell ryan"

" I've got my first scan next week, so I figured I tell him after when I know everythings ok, you know," she wiped a stray tear away, before looking at seth " please seth you can't tell him just let me have the scan then I will I promise and if he wants to be a part of this he can and if not I'll just walk away".

And that was what she had done, she had walked away just like he had.

Present day

Taylor was sat on her son's bedroom floor just watching him, he was the most important thing in her life, when all of sudden the door flew open making both her and jamie jump up from the toys they'd just been playing with,

" this is for you" scott threw the envelope across the room to her, then he just turned around, slammed the door and stomped down the hall.

Taylor was surprised, she never got mail nowadays, she turned the envelope over and opened it, once again another letter she had been dreading.
