"Now tell me why this was a good idea again?" I asked Ruby as I sat on the yoga mat. Ruby was sitting behind me, her arms wrapped around my waist. Her hands rubbing the side of my belly in circles. I was now 6 months and I was definitely feeling it.

"I told you it helps with breathing during labor." Ruby said as we watched other couples around us chatting and sitting on their mats.

"Okay but couldn't we do this at home?" I asked, sighing. It was still early morning and I was sleeping peacefully when she woke me up to come here.

"No we can't." She said sighing herself. "Please just do it for me and I'll do anything you want."

I thought for a moment, before smiling to myself. Letting my mind go in a provocative direction. "Anything?"

"Anything you want." She said in my ear before kissing below it, making me shiver.

"You're on." I say smirking to myself.

A minute later a younger woman who couldn't be no more than two years younger than me, followed by a man who was around the same age stood next to her.

"Hello everyone and welcome. I see a few new faces here, welcome and thank you for joining my class. My names Marissa  and this is my husband mark. I know I seem a little young to be teaching this class but I've actually had three kids so far and these techniques have helped me with the birthing process." She then began explaining what she would be showing us today.

Because I promised Ruby, I suppressed my irritation and went through the deep breathing exercises. They seemed to be a combination of meditation and yoga breathing.

Even though I doubtful that they would actually help with the labor. I'll admit they did help me feel calmer and the irritation I felt earlier was gone.

The second part of the class was for new parents to learn some basic things for having a newborn. One was how to diaper a newborn.

They gave each person a small watermelon and a  diaper and demonstrated how to properly diaper it. After that she walked around helping couples or answering questions.

I looked at her as she talked to another couple before looking down at the watermelon and diaper lying side by side.

"I just have one question. Why is it a watermelon?" I asked curiously to Ruby next to me who was trying to keep the diaper straps wrapped around hers.

"I guess it's supposed to be the baby." She explained, looking at hers like it was a puzzle she was trying to figure out.

"Yeah well I rather eat it than diaper it." I say, thinking about eating a nice bowl of watermelon. "Plus wouldn't it be easier with a doll or something with I don't know ,feet."

"Just try it, it won't hurt." Ruby said smiling at me sweetly.

I sighed "Okay. I'll give it a shot but only because you asked." I say. I took diaper and opened it wide and laid the watermelon on top of it. It took me a minute to figure out where the straps went but finally got it.

"There . How does this look?" I asked Ruby who was checking a message on her phone. She looked over my shoulder and smiled.

"It looks good love... except you have it on backwards." She said softly with a laugh.

"Well how am I supposed to know." I say crossing my arms and pouting. Ruby laughed again and turned the watermelon over.

"Luckily this is easily fixed since it's fruit. Just remember the part with the straps go in front." She told me, before looking at hers. The strap on the right side was hanging off because of the thickness of the watermelon was disproportionate. I laughed at how silly it looked.

"Don't laugh. It's not my fault." She said but laughed herself.

"Hmmm. I think maybe if you try this." I say taking the diaper off and putting it on the other end.

"Huh. Thanks love. Not sure why I didn't see that."

"You welcome. Problem solving, it's what I do anyway." I say shrugging.

She took out her phone and held it up, taking a picture. "At least their cute baby watermelons." She said.

"Yeah....say do you think she will let us take these home when we're done?" I asked , thinking about eating watermelon again. Ruby looked at me puzzled for a minute before laughing.

"How about I just buy us one ok?"
