Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do

* Issy's POV *

Harry and I were currently at one of our birthing classes, it was our first one and considering that, it was actually going pretty well, but now towards the end it was just pissing me off.

" Okay now I want the fathers to place their hand directly in the middle of their partner's stomach, and I want the mothers to close their eyes as they do this, slowly inhaling and exhaling out", the teacher, Steph told the class.

I then closed my eyes, beginning to slowly inhale then exhale out, feeling Harry's hand press firmly in the center of my stomach.

" Now the point of this is to feel at peace and at one with the yourselves and for the baby to feel the fathers presence as the mother relaxes", she explained, making me open one eye, furrowing my eyebrows together.

" What the fu-

" Shhhhh, we have to be at peace and at one with the baby", Harry whispered into my ear, causing me to roll my eyes after he saw they were open, using his fingers to close them again.

" Excellent job guys", she said, letting us know we could stop now.

" That was stupid, now she's just making us do irrelevant shit", I said whispering at Harry, shaking my head at him as he listened intently to the teacher's further instructions, taking this class extremely seriously as he ignored me.

" Okay, now we are going to practice probably the most important and valuable technique that you'll ever learn to do for your pregnancy, and that's the breathing skills that will help during your contractions", she explained, watching as we all nodded.

" Alright now it's very simple, and effective if you perform it the right way. However, whenever the mothers are having contractions and are in labor, they focus so much on the pain that the breathing technique then practically becomes ineffective for them", she said. " And unfortunately, that will probably happen to more than half of you in this room", she added, sending us a small smile, before continuing. "Wow what a positive attitude", I thought to myself.

" Alright, now it is a great support system when the fathers comfort them during the contractions so if the fathers could take the mothers hand", Steph said, myself watching as Harry interlocked our fingers now.

" I would of done that anyway why does she need to tells us to do it who wouldn't", he whispered to me, making me laugh slightly.

" Just because you do it all the time doesn't mean other guys do it, you'd be surprised how many idoits would just watch them groan in pain", I told him, watching as his eyes widened a bit, before shaking his head.

" Thats messed up, such a disappointment", he said.

" I agree", I said yawning, waiting for the teacher to tell us how to breathe.

" Okay now like I said, this technique is and simple if it is performed correctly. Now, I know this may sound a little weird, but I want you ladies to pretend like you are having a contraction. Just imagine yourself having pain, that way this will be more effective", she told us, making eyebrows cross. I then sighed, looking over at Harry.

" How am I supposed to do that? What the actual fuc-

" Shhh", he said, using his other hand that want interlocked with mine to cover my mouth. My words being blurred by his palm.

" You know this is stupid", I told him after he removed his hand from my mouth, watching as he shook his head.

" I like it, it's not stupid. Trust me you'll be thankful we took this class and that you learned how to breathe when you are in labor", he said, making me heave out a sigh.
