Thank you for your comments, I hope this chapter lives up to the expectations. This is my first story, but I got good comments back and decided to write a new chapter. I have never breastfed or seen anyone so I am going to explain in as little detail as possible, sorry.

Chapter 2

Breastfeeding

Amy's POV

Amy headed to the door after telling Ricky that it was for her. Amy was walking slowly because she still felt weak from giving birth the other day. The doctor even told her to go easy the next few days and try not to overdue herself since she was so young. When she opened the door, a middle-aged, overweight lady was at the door. "Are you Amy?" She asked, checking something on her clipboard, "I'm Hillary, your breastfeeding instructor."

"Hi Hillary, the baby just woke up and I think he's hungry." They walked into the kitchen and Ricky handed John over to Amy.

"I better go," Ricky said and began heading for the door.

"You don't have to go, my mom isn't here and I don't think I can do this by myself." Amy muttered, turning to see if Ricky was going to stay.

"Okay I'll stay here, but if you want me to leave, I can."

They walked into the living room and sat down on the couch. Hillary, the instructor, sat across from them on a chair still looking down at her clipboard. "Are you wearing something that you can breastfeed in?" She asked Amy. Am I wearing something I can breastfeed in, how am I supposed to know!?

Ricky's POV

Ricky just stared around the room, not sure what Amy wants him to do, OR SEE!

"I think so," Amy replied. John had calmed down but was still whining about his bottle.

"Well first, you have to expose half of your chest and then hold the baby up to your nipple, it's a natural process so the baby will know how to do it, you won't really have to do anything."

"Um, okay." She said hesitantly, not sure if she wanted Ricky here. She had slipped her robe down her shoulder and was holding John up, bracing herself, because she heard that it was going to be painful.

"Oww, owwwwwwww!" She screamed. Amy wasn't ready for this, she had no idea it was going to be this bad. Ricky felt bad for her. He wanted to take the pain away, but knew that he couldn't. All he could do was sit there and comfort her. "Owwwww, owww!" She screamed again. He knew that he had to do something, anything that could make her feel better.

"You will get used to the pain, but it takes a little while." The instructor said.

"Can I do something to help?" Ricky asked, feeling helpless. Amy didn't say anything she just reached over and grabbed Ricky's hand. He looked at her and smiled. Ricky felt the sparks with her that he felt back at band camp and he knows that it is real because he has never had that feeling with anyone else before.

They sat there and smiled, listening to their son coo and suck as though had done it a million times before. John finally let go after about five minutes of breastfeeding. Ricky took him and rocked him to sleep as Amy was getting situated again. "Well Amy, you did very good for your first time." Hillary said. She got up and looked on her clipboard to see who to go to next. She said "Goodbye Amy and good luck with your son." She walked over to the front door as Amy and Ricky walked back into her bedroom and talked for a while about John. Amy had told Ricky what the doctors had said when she left and when her next appointment was to see how the baby was growing. Ricky had reassured her again that he was going to be in the baby's life and made sure that she knew he wanted to be the father.

Amy's POV

Amy let Ricky change the baby's diaper and then he put him in his bassinet to sleep. Amy knew how much babies slept but she never anticipated for him to sleep so much and wake up on such an awkward schedule. Both Amy and Ricky laid down on her bed exhausted from taking care of John all day.

"Thank you Ricky, for staying with me today. I don't think I could have gotten through the day without your help." Amy said sleepily.

"It's no big deal," Ricky replied. "I'm his father, I owe it to you and him." They both feel fast asleep listening to their baby breathe.

Ricky's POV

Ricky woke up within a few minutes when he heard someone open the front door. "Hello," Mrs. Jergeuns called out, waiting for a reply. He got up and walked out into the hallway where he meet Anne.

"Hi Mrs. Jergeuns, Amy and John are sleeping in her room." Ricky whispered. "Will you tell Amy that I said goodbye?" He asked.

"Of course." Anne replied. Then Ricky walked out the front door to his car. He remembered that afternoon as he stuck the keys in the ignition and drove off.

Amy's POV

Amy woke up when she heard John start to whimper. She looked next to her only to see that Ricky was gone. "Typical," she thought to herself out loud. "Oh no, not you," she said in a baby voice as she picked up her son and rocked him in her arms. She walked out in the hallway to tell her mom how breastfeeding had went then she stumbled into the kitchen.

"Ricky told me to tell you goodbye, he said that he woke up and you were still asleep so he didn't want to wake you." Anne said as she reached out to take her grandson. Amy handed John over to his Grandma Anne and she couldn't help but bite her lip.
