Jackson held Hannah's hand as they walked into the hospital. She was eight months gone and had a big rounded belly. He'd never seen her look more beautiful. She was glowing and she looked so happy.

He looked down at her stomach. He was really looking forward to meeting their child. He was also terrified. He wanted to be a good father but considering his own, he wasn't confident he would be.

He pressed a kiss to Hannah's temple as they walked inside the hospital.

"You look beautiful," he said. He still marveled at how they got here. He had been the biggest jerk to her for so long. He knew she must really love him to be able to forgive him that. And now they were having a baby.

	He nodded, feeling like an ass for asking. "Sorry," he said quietly. "We can talk about this later maybe," he whispered in her ear. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hannah just nodded mutely then. She looked at him, pulling him close to her for a hug. Whatever he did, they did, she would be there for them all. "All right, lover." She kissed his temple softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know you do, never a doubt in my mind, trust me!" Hannah leaned into the kiss and smiled. The doctor left to take care of somethings, trying to figure out things she might be able to take while being sick and pregnant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Of course I trust you, you are my squish. I adore you." Hannah said through a sudden spout of tears, sobbing uncontrollably. "Yeah, rub my back again...Oh, and tell me you like the name, Hunter Alexander for our baby, squish?" Hannah said, imploring him. "And our wedding, what about our wedding?"

	He knelt beside her and gently wiped the tears from her cheeks. He rubbed her back gently. His eyes teared up a little at the name she mentioned. "I love it. Hunter Alexander Cleage," he said softly. "We will wait until Hunter has been born and then have the wedding." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Briggs. Hunter Alexander Briggs, squish. He is your son, and I am your wife. It is about time we become united. Okay, whatever you say," Hannah said, "I want our son there to witness our second wedding. Before we need to present him to the counsel, teach him the way, and figure out how wild he will be." Hannah said through her sniffles, coughing, she needed a tissue.

	His eyes started to sting. "Really?" he asked. "Hunter Alexander Briggs," he said. "I want our son there too." He took a handkerchief out of his pocket, one with JAB on it and handed it to her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Yeah, really." Hannah said sounding congested. She took his handkerchief, then looked at him. "It'll be gross, I have to blow my nose." Hannah said. "Plus, what other name should our son have? He is ours, our union." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You can keep my love," he said softly. "He is our union. A living symbol of the love we have for each other," he said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"All right, but what is mine is yours and all that jazz, anyway." Hannah said, the tears finally clearing up. "Yes, he is. Were it once was just us, now it will be us three. The circle of life." Hannah said, resting her hand on her naked belly. The sound of the babies heartbeat filtered through the room. "He sounds so strong, is so big. He is going to be so wildly amazing." Hannah said in awe.

	"Yes that's right," he said softly. He rubbed her back gently. Yes he is, strong like his Mommy. He's gonna be incredible and he's ours," he said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"We have a lot to do. This is so late notice, but I have been calling midwives, while coming here. I saw this documentary on birth. How hospitals don't want to wait for things to progress natural. So, they induce, then they have to give an epi., after that, the contractions slow again, so more Pitocin, AKA a brand of Oxytocin, for induction. This all makes the baby hurt, puts pressure on them, and is the number one reason that hospitals just do a c section. That deprives the mother of making the hormones that help you bond with you baby. All those drugs, they drug up your baby, it ruins your body. Plus, all these preventions are just crap, and the more preventions they use, the more it harms, or messes things up, thus forcing them to do all the procedures they do that can kill. Midwives have all the equipment on hand, they are there for you and your baby, they show you the best positions to have a baby, plus they help get through the contractions, laying on your back is the hardest, worst position to use, because it forces the pelvis to become smaller. If we have him at home, we can give him the gift of a happy, fruitful life, us the possibility to really bond with Hunter Alexander. And can you please, please, keep rubbing that spot, harder even? Dig in a little." Hannah pleaded.

	"It sounds like you have everything worked out. You know that I'll support you, no matter what you decide to do." He kissed the top of her head and rubbed her back harder when she asked him to. He dug into her back a little more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theslowburn 2009-05-20 05:37 pm UTC (link)
	"But, I don't. I need you to help me figure out the right birth plan. I need you on everything. To know everything with me backwards and forwards. I need your help in the birthing. I need you to hold me, to know when to help the midwife, to know about me and when the baby is really coming." Hannah said nervously, suddenly having another fit of crying.

	"I will look into all of that. Because I wanna help you through this in whatever way that I can," he said softly. "You're my wife and this is my son and I'll be there for both of you, every step of the way." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Okay," Hannah sniffled hard. Leaning fully against him then. Burying her face against him, just to take his scent in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He wrapped his arms around her and held her close to him. He kissed the top of her head. "I love you so much baby," he said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I know you do. I really do. God, it is happening, this is all so real, too real. I wish Hunter would come out of hiding so I can talk to him, listen to him, ask him if he wants to be the god father?" Hannah said, through sniffling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I wish he would too. I need to have my best man at the wedding," he said. He pressed a kiss to her forehead. "You think I should try talking to him?" he asked softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	theslowburn 2009-05-20 06:22 pm UTC (link)
	"Your best man? Really?" Hannah said, wiping at her eyes. "No, I mean, you are family, but I think in this case, it needs to be blood related family. He needs to be screamed at, and with my hormones the way they are, that will be easy peasy." Hannah said, blowing her nose. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	jackson_briggs 2009-05-20 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	"Really. There's nobody I can think of that I'd want more to be my best man," he said softly. "Okay, well if you need me to be there when you call him, I will. I'm always here for you Hannah, my heart." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Wow, I am so happy, so sad, so all over the place. Thank you!" Hannah said in a giddy manner, hugging him tight. "I know, I do, you know that, right?" But before he could answer, the doctor came back in. "Okay, Hannah, here is some things for you. A heart pressure machine, I want you to monitor that. I want you to use this homeopathic stuff for your sinuses, called Sinuswars, plus, if you use a moti pot, with water and a solution of sea salt, it must be sea salt, not that stuff you buy in the grocer's. the sea salt is a natural antibiotic, it cleans out the infection. That is why they tell people with athlete's foot, or other infections to go swimming in the ocean, it is very beneficial. Here is a moti pot, I know it looks weird, but it is very easy. You fill it with warm water, and the salt, then you adjust your head so that the water goes in one nostril, and comes right out the other. You do not want to swallow this, it is bad. Once done, bend over as best as you can, and blow your nose, until all the water is out of your sinus cavities, leaving it in there will cause more fungus and bacteria to grow. It is dangerous, and we don't want to have to operate." The doctor said with a smile. "Tylenol is still good for aches and pains, the Sea Salt you can pick up at any health food store, there is one in the mall here, in Reesyn. Also, you can take these antibiotics here, they are safe for you both. Ask the pharmacist for the list of all the side affects, you feel any, stop taking them at once, call me on my emergency line." The doctor handed her a prescription, plus some of the pills to get herself started. "Here is a list of things you can do," he handed her a list with things she could use to help her out: Drink plenty of fluids, as this will help to thin secretions. Water, chicken soup, juices, and warm tea are good sources. Use a humidifier. Place it close to your face when you sleep. During the day, you can make a tent out of a sheet draped over your head. Stay under the tent for 15 minutes, three or four times a day. Rub a mentholated product (like Vicks Vaporub) on your chest according to package instructions. For nasal stuffiness, use saline drops. You can buy these at drugstores or prepare a solution at home. Just dissolve 1/4 teaspoon salt in 8 ounces of water. Place the few drops in each nostril, wait 5 to 10 minutes, and then gently blow your nose. To make breathing easier, sleep in a recliner or prop up your head with lots of pillows so that you are in a semi-upright position. Take a warm shower. This can help clear nasal stuffiness and mucus. Get plenty of rest. "You can take Robitussin for a cough and congestion. Get the one they have for people with high blood pressure, since we don't want to push things, okay? Lower doses of Zinc are safe when you use the Zinc lozenges, as well as nasal spray, like Afrin. Last, but not least, Echinacea tea, but don't go overboard. Don't over drink, 10 glasses of water, juice, tea is fine. Steer clear of milk for now, because of the phlegm. So, any questions?" Hannah tried to absorb all that he said, when he asked his next question, she nodded. "Yes, I was thinking of having a home birth, I have been looking up on it, and how they are just as prepared as a hospital, they know when to take the person to the hospital. The midwife does extensive interviewing before taking on the person as a patient, and you can be my back up, in case of anything bad happening. Like bleed out, or distress, me and Jackson have been talking about it. What do you think?" Hannah asked, sounding nervous.

	He listened to the doctor, taking in what he had said. He wanted to know everything so he'd be prepared for it. He held Hannah as the doctor talked to her, silently letting her know that he was there for her. That he loved her. He let her ask the questions she needed to ask the doctor.
