A new family (on hold)

'The talk'

They had tried to avoid it, but Amy just kept asking. "Where do babies come from?" She'd ask innocently. Eddie and Jamie had talked and had decided to tell her what happened but not to graphic, just the basics. "Amy? Where are you?" Jamie called. "Playing, daddy!" She called back. They found her in the living room playing with her dolls. "Can we talk?" Eddie asked gently. Amy nodded her head and stood up, she crawled up onto the couch in Jamie's lap. "Do you want to know where babies come from?" Eddie asked even though she already knew the answer. Amy nodded. "Well, when two people really love each other, and they want to have a baby,  they make love." Jamie said, unsure of what words to use. "But how did the baby get in mommy's tummy?" Amy asked looking up at her father. "When a woman gets a certain age she makes eggs, and when a man get a certain age he makes sperm, when the egg and the sperm are put together they can make a baby." Jamie explained. "But I thought only chickens made eggs." Amy thought out loud. "It's not that kind of egg. This kind is inside mommy and daddy put his sperm into me and the egg and the sperm connected and they made a baby." Eddie explained. "But how did the sperm,thingies, get into you?" Amy asked her mother. Jamie and Eddie were both choked up at that question. "Well, um, it got inside mommy by making love." Jamie said, he didn't want to use the word sex. "What do you do when you make love?" Amy asked, clearly confused. "Well, men and women have special parts, you and mommy have the same things because you are girls, you have breasts and a... Vagina." Jamie said afraid he'd gotten to graphic, he looked up at Eddie who nodded. "But daddy has a penis, and when two people make love the man puts his penis into the woman's vagina and puts his sperm into her so they can make a baby." Jamie said carefully, not to overdo it. "Oh." Amy said looking disgusted as she tried to picture what Jamie had explained. "But, sometimes people want to make love for pleasure." Eddie said. "And when they do it for pleasure they use protection." She added. "What kind of protection?" Amy asked. "The man either can put on a condom or the woman can take special medicine called birth control, if they don't want a baby." Jamie said. "But isn't love making just for when you want a baby?" Amy asked curiously. "No, because when and if you decide to make love you'll know that it feels good." Eddie said. "For both the man and the woman." She added. "Oh." Amy sighed.  "Do you have any other questions?" Eddie asked her daughter. "How old do you have to be to make love?" Amy asked. "Well, some people wait until they get married, which is what me and mommy did. But others don't and they do it when they are still in high school." Jamie said.  "But, why don't families make love? They love each other, right?" Amy asked. "Yes, families love each other but when you make love you do it with someone you love romantically." Jamie said. "When you get old enough to have a boyfriend or a husband you'll understand a little better." Eddie said. "But I want to feel good now." Amy replied, only to see her parents exchange a shocked look. "Well, if you want to feel good now, then you can masturbate." Jamie said, not believing that he had said it. "What is that?" Amy asked. "When you masturbate you touch your special parts, girls normally rub their vagina, and boys normally stroke their penis. But only you can do that, nobody else can touch you there." Jamie said and Amy shifted from his lap. "Only, mommy and daddy, and the doctors." Eddie said quickly when she noticed Amy moving. Amy tried to picture this but she was drawing a blank. "Okay, so is the baby going to be a boy or a girl?" She asked after a moment.,"we don't know yet, we have to wait until it's comes out." Eddie said putting a hand on her stomach. "How does it get out?" Amy asked. "Well, it has to stay inside mommy for nine months then when it's healthy enough mommy can push it out of her vagina." Jamie said looking very eager to get this conversation over with. "But it's so small, how can a person come out of it?" She asked. "When you get bigger it will grow." Eddie said simply, also eager to finish this conversation. "Do you understand a little better?" Jamie asked his daughter.  "Yeah, I think so." Amy said getting off the couch. And going back to her dolls. "If you have any questions you can ask us." Jamie reassured her. She nodded as Jamie and Eddie walked out of the living room. "That was officially the hardest thing I've ever had to do." Eddie stated. "Ill second that." Jamie said letting out a breath he hadn't realised he was holding.
