Henry awoke and quickly headed downstairs after using the bathroom. Again he saw that his sister was awake before him. He grinned at her, and she smiled up at him as he came down the stairs. The baby was in her arms, but not feeding and he figured she was just watching or looking at her.
"I see you beat me down again." He told her, as he got to the bottom and walked toward the kitchen.
"Yeah, but only by a little bit, I came down just before Penny left for work; I think she may have awoken Jenna. So I haven't had time to fix breakfast for you." She told him. He chuckled as he entered the kitchen.
"Well yesterday was nice, but you certainly don't have to make breakfast all of the time, and considering you have a baby, you shouldn't be. I'll fix it for both of us today." He told her and pulled a pan out for eggs. He made it simple, just eggs with butter and jelly toast. She placed her sleeping baby on the blanket on the floor and sat at the table when he sat the food down. They ate quietly and quickly, each glancing at the other from time to time and trying not too. Henry in particular seemed to blush every time he found his sister looking back at him as he looked at her. She saw his predicament and after leaving the table she commented on it in a way.
"So did you two get a good start last night?" She asked him as she took a seat on the couch. He followed, figuring on doing dishes later. He gave her a confused look as he sat in the chair.
"What do you mean?" Not knowing what she meant.
"On you guys having a baby Hank, Penny seemed quite anxious to start trying for one." Amanda said, teasing him badly, He turned red, and covered his eyes with his hand as he gave her an embarrassed grin. He nodded after he took his hand down seconds later. She was having a good laugh.
"Well, you know me...I drive the ladies wild." He said in mock bravado, playing it light with his flushed face. Her laughing calmed to a broad smile as she looked at him.
"I bet, though I do remember you being a bit in demand in high school, the varsity quarter back and all. And smarts on top of that...I think Penny did good catching you bro." She told him in all seriousness, still smiling, though now it was an endearing one. He blushed again at what she said, causing her to laugh again. "And there you go again, blushing." She told him as she chuckled. His shoulders shook in soft laughter, and he nodded, then took a deep breath and relaxed.
"You always could embarrass me faster then anyone else, but I think that's because you were always more frank then most other girls, being my sister and all." He said casually in way of explanation.
"I guess, though for someone that has had as much experience as yourself, I would think you would be harder to embarrass." She said. He shrugged.
"I don't know, it's just the way I am I guess." He muttered with a small grin. He then looked at her and saw a small wet spot on her shirt and looked at it. He then pointed it out to her. "Did you spill something on yourself?" he pointed at her shirt and she looked down, pulling the shirt out to look.
"Aw dammit!" She muttered out as she stood up and walked to the diaper bag and pulled out a small device he had never seen before. "I'm leaking...I'll have to pump or I'll be dripping all over the place." She told him in way of explanation.
"You're leaking? Like from your breasts?" He asked her, curious about what she was doing. She nodded.
"Yeah, Jenna must not have suckled enough out and now they are too full and I have to relieve them or they'll keep right on leaking. It's messy when it does. I'd feed her again, but she's asleep and probably wouldn't feed again this soon after laying down. So I have to use this pump to get the milk out." She told him, holding the device up for him to see it. She then flipped her shirt up and exposed her breasts. She glanced at him as he looked at her, giving him a small smile. "Sorry about this." She told him with some embarrassment, as she placed the pump at her nipple and squeezed the handle.
"It's no problem." He told her casually as he looked on at what she was doing, finding it interesting about the pump. She looked up at him, her face still flushed as she grinned at his attentive stare.
"Enjoying the show?" she asked playfully, causing him to blush and grin. But he shook his head.
"Naw, this is cool, I never knew they had that. Makes sense I guess." He told her as he looked at her face and smiled at her. She laughed slightly.
"Well, I'm glad you're enjoying this, because it's a pain to do. It takes forever to do and my hands start cramping after awhile, having to squeeze this damn thing. I couldn't afford an electric one, so I had to get this piece of junk." She told him as she continued to pump. Henry shrugged, not knowing what to say, but he tried to not ogle so much, though it was interesting to him. He tried to watch TV for a few minutes as she worked the pump. He heard her start to fuss and noticed her flexing her hands as she switched from one to the other. After another minute she stopped, frustrated. "Dammit I hate this thing!" she muttered out.
"You done?" He asked in curiosity, but she shook her head.
"No only about half way to where I'd like to get it. I hate doing this." She said again. Henry was silent for a minute, but he wanted to help. He hesitated, but then he spoke up.
"Well, can I help?" He asked her, and she looked at him her brows raised, giving him a curious look.
"How so?" She asked him.
