Chapter 204

‘I want a water birth...at home.”

Jon’s incredulous blue eyes swung towards Megan.

“You want a what?! At home? Noooo fucking way baby! What if something goes wrong? And...and  in the bath? “ confusion and shock coloured his eyes even more blue.

“Jon,  waterbirths are very popular nowadays and a very calming way for baby to come into this world. Homebirths are becoming popular too. I can assure you we take every precautionary measure to ensure that mother and baby are fine.” Sarah assured him.

She smiled at the somewhat shaken father. It was so obvious this was new to him. His over protectiveness was so charming.

“By the way Jon. We don’t use the bathtub, we will have to get a birthpool.” Megan slung at him.

“A..what?!” Baby why do you have to be so damn difficult?”

Megan wiggled her eyebrows at him and the stuck out her tongue.

Sarah laughed, he was trying his damndest to seem stern but one look at his wife and he was done. She sure had him twisted around her little finger!

Why don’t we discuss it with the next lesson? It will give you two some time to talk about it and I’ll bring the water birth video so we can watch it next week, ok?

“Do what? “ Jon lost a bit of his colour and Megan giggled.

“He is gonna faint on me isn’t he?”

Shaking her head she laughingly said.

“By the looks of him, sadly yes....”

“Why you two teaming up against me? I will be ok with the birth but hell I aint watching another women giving birth!”

“You need to know what is to be expected.”

Hair flew in all directions as he shook his head vehemently.

“NO! I don’t...I’ll make it up as we go,”

Just then Dorothea poked her head around the door.

“Hey come in! I want you to meet Sarah. Sarah this is Dorothea. She is 28 weeks pregnant. I wanted to ask her before I discussed it with you but I would like her to join us in this class.”

“That is a lovely idea! Please to meet you Dorothea.”

“Please to meet you too. Thanks Meg, I would like that very much! I don’t know the first thing about babies and giving birth, so this will come in handy.”

The two women began to discuss her pregnancy and her preferences, so Megan made her way towards her agitated hubby.

“Nervous Bongiovi?”

“Shit baby. When I signed up for this I didn’t think it would include gory birth videos!”

Megan felt sorry for the big eyed rocker so totally out of his comfort zone but couldn’t help to laugh.

“Its not that bad honey.”

Just then Sarah gathered her stuff, looking over at Jon she winked.

“Seems like you’ll have to endure the water birth and the caesarean birth. I’ll see you next week then?”

“Did she just say..NO FUCKING WAY!! Oh no!!” his hands were up in the air.

Jon was freaking out but a slap from Megan put him straight.

“Listen cowboy if we can go through that, you can at least watch the damn movies!”

“Amen!” the two women slapped hands.

“Fuck.” Was all he had to say.

~~~

“Noooooooo!!! Fuck really?” Richie’s eyes were about to pop.

“I’m telling you my brother, water birth and caesarean video!”

Richie began shaking. Oh fuck this was fun! His brother was sweating his ass off! Serves you right Casanova!

Megan watched as Richie marvelled in Jon’s predicament. Hhhmmmmm....

“Ok now Meg, what’s with the water birth thing?”

“What about it?”

“Wont the baby drown or something?” by the mentioning of it Jon turned even paler, his fork hovering in midair in front of his open mouth.

Everyone’s attention was focused on Megan.

“I guess we have to wait till next week to find out. By the way Rich. I’ll need a partner next week for the class. Dorothea is starting too and Jon is going with her...”

Richie just sat there his mouth gaping.

Jon threw back his head and let it rip.

“Close your mouth Rich.” She tapped at his chin.

“But...uuuummm.”

“Well hell!! Richie Sambora is speechless!!”

Jon laughed so hard, tears were streaming down his face.

“We’re into this together bro’!”

“Oh fuck off Jon! You can thank your sweet ass I love you enough to do this.” He pointed at Megan.

She blew him a kiss and he smiled.

“So you ready for some heavy breathing?” Dot offered.

“Yeah.. I guess. But you better have a bucket handy cause if I barf watching the movie..you’ll clean it up!”
