Baby Swings

"I've had practice. My sister has children and so does Mei's brother." Kuon nodded and he picked up his own nappy and tried to do as Kenta had instructed. He was glad the older man stayed with him and watched, he never spoke but Kuon thought he had it figured out. That was until he went to fasten the pull tabs and they were nowhere to be found. He frowned, wondering if he had a different type of nappy as Kent smiled and pointed at the nappy.

"It's on back to front." Kuon wanted to sink into the ground and never get out again as he, with his face burning, put the nappy on the right way around and fastened it securely. He wondered why they had come to this class to begin with?

"You'll get the hang of it, no fear." Kenta said smiling as he examined Kuon's work.

"And it's well done for your first attempt. I've seen people put them on in so many ways that just laying it down the wrong way is nothing. Kuon knew he was just trying to make him feel better and if he admitted it, his words did help as they carried their babies over to Natalie for inspection. Kuon was handed a chamomile tea whilst Kenta got lemon. Kuon raised his eyebrows at Kenta who smiled. She makes herbal teas for individual needs, chamomile is a tea for stress and nerves, it's meant to calm the drinker.

"How does she know which tea to make?" Kuon asked sipping his tea, letting out a little sigh of happiness. It was nice and refreshing.

"She watches us all, from the moment we enter to the moment we leave. She doesn't miss a tick. that one. She always knows if there is something wrong. She says its from studying childcare and psychology in England." Kuon looked up at that news.

"She is English then?" he asked watching the woman speaking with a couple who looked very close to their due date.

"She is indeed. She came over with her husband and his business and never went back. Let's go see what tea our lovely ladies got to drink, shall we?" Kenta said, leading the way to his wife and her new friend. He placed his hand on her shoulder and squeezed before sitting down next to her. Their eyes met for a moment in a silent exchange of love and in Kuon's case concern for his wife, which Kyoko answered with a small smile. Mei watched and smiled at their silent exchange. She liked this young couple.

The rest of their class went fine and they both talked about how much they had learnt, at 16 weeks Kyoko began to show the smallest bump, this was when it started to get a little complicated.

"FOR HEAVENS SAKE KUON! I'M PREGNANT, NOT DYING! I'M SURE ME AND MOKO WILL BE PERFECTLY FINE, AND DON'T WAIT UP! I WILL NOT BE COMING HOME TONIGHT SO YOU HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT THIS!" Yashiro and Kanae who had been chatting and walking towards the apartment together stopped, listening to the screaming Kyoko. The door slammed open and Kyoko exited the apartment in a rage like neither of them had seen before.

"Come on Moko-san, we are leaving." she had a bag slung over her shoulder, a frown on her face. All Kanae had time to do was shrug at the startled Yashiro, then turned and followed the furious Kyoko as she stormed down to the elevators. Yashiro turned to see the half dressed Kuon standing in the doorway looking very agitated and confused.

"What have you done this time?" Yashiro asked, grinning slightly as Kuon pulled his shirt on.

"I have no idea to be honest. She has been sick all morning and the last few days have been rough on her, with not being able to keep food down, so I just suggested she stay home today and rest. She simply flipped out!" he said throwing his hands into the air to emphasise.

"Why the hell would she flip out over that? I'm only thinking about her and the baby. It's not like I was trying to stop her from working. I just wanted her to rest a little." Kuon let out a long sigh as he dragged his fingers through his hair, looking very upset and confused by Kyoko's behaviour.
