Do it with pleasure
The relief for Jenny's pain was found in a warm bath. Revisiting an intimate activity of early on in their relationship, one they both enjoyed, Jenny and Jason looked for comfort in the warm water that surrounded them in their large bath. Jason was holding onto Jenny from behind as she leaned against him with closed eyes, taking calm, deep breaths. They spent almost an hour in the water until they decided to get out and enjoy a light breakfast before informing the others. When they came down, Mary was already in the dining room enjoying his breakfast and so were Jason's parents and grandparents. When they saw the way Jenny was being supported as she walked into the room, they suspected that they might have entered the next phase of Jenny going into labour and when she got a heavy contraction, causing her to stop in the middle of her track, their suspicions were confirmed. Nonetheless Mary hurried over to Jenny's side and asked her, "Are you having contractions dear?"
After Jenny breathed through her pain, she nodded yes with a slightly pale complexion. The whole room grew excited as Mary continued her questioning. "When did they start? How far along are they?" As Jason helped Jenny to a chair, he took the liberty of answering the questions on Jenny's behalf. "They started around eleven o'clock last night and right now they are just seven minutes apart. We plan on making our way to the hospital after Jenny has had some breakfast. If one of you guys could go and wake the others, then we can leave as a group after everyone is done." After so many years together with Jenny, he was practically fluent in speaking Jenny's mother tongue, making a conversation like this pose no problem at all. After that he did a translated version for his side of the family, causing his mother to immediately set out for the Northern wing of the house.
Shortly after Susan left, the first people rushed over to the breakfast room. Some already dressed and others still wearing pyjamas. "Is it true? Your contractions have started and are only seven minutes apart?" Jenny nodded, still looking a bit pale, before feeling another contraction coming up. Through gritted teeth she corrected herself as she said, "Make that six minutes." After a high pitched squeal of excitement she heard, "In that case we had better hurry. We have about an hour before you have to head to the hospital!" In less than twenty minutes everyone was seated at the table and enjoying their breakfast. Including Jenny herself, who couldn't eat as fast in her current state.
The room had become so lively that just as their first party had ended, the second one had already started first thing in the morning. Jenny was smiling along as she pushed through the intervalled moments of pain, using her hand to pass some of it along to the person she was subconsciously holding responsible for putting her in that position. Jason took her squeezes of his hand with an amused smile. Seeing as she had put all her force into it but was barely able to make him feel a hint of pain. Even going as far as patting the back of her head or her back when she did, in order to comfort her. With that and sacrificing his hand being the only two things he could do for her, he was determined to do it with pleasure.
He would even have smiled through it all even if her squeezes had been painful, because he knew that it would be nothing compared to what she was feeling. He disliked seeing her in pain in the first place and if he could have taken her place, he would have done so in a heartbeat. Since mother nature didn't allow for that to happen, he needed to be content with easing what she was going through in any way that he could and accept all the other things for what they were. With each contraction that came and passed, with each second that the interval shortened, Jenny and Jason started preparing themselves mentally for what was coming. But when push came to shove, things turned out much better than they had anticipated during this stage of their day.
When breakfast was finished and the time to leave for the hospital had arrived, Jenny's squeezes became harder and lasted longer. Making Jason's heart, more so than his hand, hurt from what Jenny was going through. The moment Jenny arrived at the hospital, she was breaking records. Her contractions went from five minutes apart to only two in less than an hour and when the doctor came to check up on her just fifteen minutes later, she was told that she was ready to push. Jenny was brought into the delivery room and Jason and Mary hurried along behind her. With Jason holding her hand on one side of the bed and Mary doing the same on the other side, Jenny showed that she was her mother's daughter as she managed to deliver their baby in under two hours. A very impressive time for a first pregnancy.
Jenny couldn't believe it. From a pregnancy coming out of the blue and lasting a lot longer than she cared for, she was done with the labour part in no time at all and with as little effort as a person could hope for. With that her son had made up for his initial tardiness and reluctance to leave her body. Earning him many praises and kisses from his beloved mother on his first day out in the world.
