30 Weeks.
After four weeks, Bucky had completely healed, and three of you were back in the comfort of your little room on the residential floor of the compound. With Bucky fully recovered, your’s and your Alphas’ attention was back on the preparation for the arrival of your pups.
“I can’t believe in 10 weeks, we’re gonna have two little pups running around.” Bucky sighed, his hand resting on your stomach, softly stroking over the outline of a foot, pressing against your skin.
“They aren't going to be running around for a while, Alpha.” you giggles, playing with his hair.
“I know, but you know what I mean.” he presses his lips to your bump, and you feel one of twins, roll under his lips.
“One of them really likes it when you do that.” you wheeze slightly, when the kicking got a little stronger, one landing right in your ribs.
“Sorry, sweetheart. Am I making them hurt you?” Bucky looks up at you with guilt in his eyes. You shift uncomfortably on the couch, sitting up more. Steve moves from his position of leaning on the kitchen side, to pick up a cushion from the other couch, and places it behind your back.
“Do you want to sit on the ball for a bit, baby?” Steve asks you, rubbing along your shoulders. You nod, and Bucky swiftly gets up from the couch to grab your ball, that was sitting in the corner of your room. He bounced it over to you and Steve, as Steve assisted you in helping you stand.
You waddled the short distance, to Bucky, before lowering yourself onto the ball. Steve grabbed a chair that was under the dinning room table, and set it behind you. He sat down, and began rubbing his thumbs over your hips, as you gently bobbed up and down, pressure in your pelvis slowly vanishing.
“You know, Dr Cho said we should start preparing for the birth.” Steve speaks, as he rests his chin over your shoulder, Bucky grabbed another chair, sitting himself in front of you.
“I thought we were already.” you giggled, motioning to your growing bump; Steve and Bucky chuckled.
“No as in: looking into breathing techniques, and positions you find comfortable.” Steve explained, placing a kiss on your shoulder blade.
“Oh, you mean like lamaze classes?” you asked, turning to look at him, only to be met with a very confused look.
“What’s a llama class?” Bucky finally broke the confused silence.
“Not llama.” you giggle, “Lamaze.”
“What’s that, when it’s at home?”
“It’s techniques used to build a mother’s confidence in her ability to give birth, through the presentations of classes that help pregnant women understand how to cope with the pain of labour.” you explain, laughing at your Alphas facial expressions of bewilderment.
“Since when did you become Dr Cho?” Bucky teases, but smiles at you with a look of pride.
“Wanda gave me a book.” you point towards your bookshelf that was filled with several pregnancy books, “maybe more than one.” you giggle.
“Who’d a thought Wanda would be the llama class expert?” Bucky shrugged.
“Lamaaaaaze, Alpha.” you correct him.
“That’s what I said llammmmas.” Bucky jokes, kissing your lips before you could correct him again.
“Well what do these books say, sweetheart?” Steve moves on, continuing his soothing massage on your hips.
“Ummm...to take lots of deep breaths.” you guessed, you hadn't actually gotten round to reading many of the books, what with Bucky being in recovery, you spent most of your time trying to help Steve, take care of him.
“You haven't read them, have you baby?” Steve taunts, trying to catch your eye, but suddenly you were finding the ceiling very interesting.
“Errrrr.”
“Baby.” Bucky warns, you look at him, then turn to Steve. You squint as you shake your head no. Steve and Bucky, both sigh a laugh.
“It’s alright, sweetie. We’ve fallen behind in our research as well.” Steve kisses your neck, just above your bond mark, and you nuzzle your head against him.
“Wanda said; there were a few videos online.”
“How does that work?” Bucky, rubbed his hands up and down your thighs, when you flinched a little, he sensed one of the pups had landed another nasty kick to your insides.
“Basically, there’s a woman, who’s dressed in yoga attire, and looks as if she has never given birth before, sitting cross legged on a mat, whilst showing you several positions, and breathing techniques, as well as, a few videos.” you explain.
“Have you seen any of these videos?” Bucky asked you, grabbing Steve’s tablet and looking up ‘Lamaze classes’ on YouTube.
“Sam and I, only got through 2 minutes, before we had to switch it off.” you smile at the memory.
“Why’s that?” Bucky looked up from the tablet once he found one, that looked perfectly harmless.
“We couldn’t stop laughing.” you confessed.
It was true, you had tried to watch one of these videos, with Sam, but he was probably not your best choice. Bar the awkward positions, the woman was showing you, Sam kept repeating the woman’s words, as he mimicked the her voice. But It really broke the pair of you, when the woman went onto all fours, and began to moo; it was at that point, you and Sam decided to call it a day.
“Honey, you need to take this seriously. You’re gonna be pushing two babies out. If these women can help you find ways to cope with the pain, then you need to listen to them.” Steve reprimanded you slightly. You couldn't help the eye roll that arose from you.
“Thanks for reminding me.” you mumble, rubbing over your squirming bump. Steve sighed, and combed his fingers through your hair.
“Okay I’ll let that eye roll go, but you need to prepare yourself, darlin. We all do.” Steve says, turning to Bucky, who nods in agreement.
“Look, what about this one?” Bucky shows you the screen, you sigh mentally, thanking God that it wasn’t the one you and Sam had attempted. It looked similar, but you shrugged an okay. Maybe it would be different with your Alphas.
“We need to make some space.” you noted, Bucky nodded and stood up, handing you the tablet, whilst he moved the coffee table out of the way, and pushed the sofa backwards.
Steve helped you to stand, and guided you towards the space, Bucky was making.
“Do you want a pillow, sweetheart?” Steve asks you, before he set you down.
You nod, the carpet was soft, but not very thick, and it would cause havoc with your heavy hips. Steve allows you to move your grip to Bucky, and grabs a couple of pillows off your bed, he sits on the floor, placing the pillows between his legs.
He takes hold of your hands, as he and Bucky help you lower yourself to the floor, settling you in Steve’s lap.
“How’s that, honey?” Steve asks wrapping his arms around you.
“It feels okay.” you smile, wiggling back into the warmth of Steve’s chest. Bucky goes and grabs the tablet from the kitchen table, and balances it on the TV stand, so you could all see it clearly, pressing play.
The lady begins to speak, and Bucky sits himself, next to Steve placing one of his hands on your ankle, gently rubbing it.
“Okay so what we wanted to do, is make sure the mother is completely relaxed. Last thing we want is the mother to feel tense and up tight, this will stop baby from progressing downwards.” Her nasally voice, was grating on you slightly, but you grin and bear it, for Bucky and Steve’s sake.
Steve begins to copy the back massage the woman was showcasing in the video. You weren’t going to lie, this did feel really nice, and you did feel yourself relaxing slightly.
“Is that nice, baby?” Bucky smiles at you, as you close your eyes, almost drifting off at the feeling of Steve’s fingers.
“Mmhmm.” you hum, too absorbed in the steady motion Steve was performing on your back.
You nearly whined when the woman began to speak again, severing the peaceful silence that had filled the room.
“The next thing we want to try is; breathing. One of the most common things a mother in labour can do wrong is her breathing technique. Whether the motions of labour are building too fast, or the technique you are trying to use isn't working, a labouring mother can often forget, or lose faith, in the power of breathing.”
You snort a little at her last statement, earning a disapproving look from your Alphas.
“Pay attention, sweetheart.” Bucky reminds you, you let a heavy sigh out, but turn your attention back to the video.
“Lamaze breathing, is a technique based on the idea that controlled breathing can enhance relaxation and decrease the perception of pain. During the first stage of labour: start with a slow deep breath as your contraction starts and then slowly breathe out, releasing all physical tension from your head to your toes.”
Bucky turned to you, and you felt Steve rest his chin on your shoulder, you face flushes slightly, as you turn away from them, and burry your burning face into Steve’s other shoulder.
“Come on, baby. Don't be shy.” Steve encourages you, but you can’t help it, you were embarrassed to do this technique when there was no reason to do it.
“Look, we’ll do it with you, sweetheart.” Bucky consoles. You slowly turn to face him, taking his hands, and meeting his eyes.
“Slowly inhale through your nose.” you and Bucky both, breath in deeply, you feel Steve’s chest behind you rise also. “Then pause.”
“Then slowly exhale through your mouth.” you feel yourself sink, and the hairs on the back of your neck tingle slightly, when Steve releases his breath, you and Bucky following suit.
“Every time you exhale, focus on relaxing a different body part.”
“Relax your shoulders, honey.” Steve suggests, rubbing over your tensed shoulders slightly. You try as best you can, but you were still feeling self conscious. And things only got worst, as your heart rate picked up, when the woman explained the next section of the video.
“That breathing technique is used, when a labouring mother is in the first stage of labour. This is a important section, as it is the starting block, and can often set the atmosphere for the whole labour. For example here is a woman using her lamaze breathing correctly...” the video cut to a semi-naked heavily pregnant woman, who was giving the impression of a star student. Twinkly music played, as the woman exhibited the breathing you had been told to do moments ago. The whole scene looked idilic, and it did calm you, marginally.
Until the woman, opened her mouth again:
“And this is an example of a mother breathing incorrectly...” within a few seconds the tranquil images of practically mother nature herself, were replaced by true anguish and pain, as the woman now in front of you was wailing and screaming at the top of her lungs. The woman thrashed around in her partners arms, shouting and screeching at the top of her lungs.
You audibly gulp, and Steve pulls you tighter to him, hoping he can provide you with some reassurance. Your eyes dart to Bucky, who’s own eyes are stretched wide, as he watches the horror scene unfold.
Thankfully the clip comes to an end, and the woman begins to speak again:
“That was how a mother can lose control during labour, it is especially important for a mother to grasp control at the first stage of labour...”
You zone out for a bit, the words ‘first stage’ bounced around your head. ‘First Stage’, if that was the first stage, God knows how the rest of the labour is going to be.
You glance over at Bucky, who still looks rather pale, and his mouth is slightly agape. If that was how he was going to be when the time came, you didn’t know how you were going to cope. Your only hope was that Steve would be able to support both of you.
The woman continues to explain the breathing techniques for active labour, before she moved on to talk about transition, one of the last stages in labour, before you actually push the baby out.
“As you switch to light breathing during active labour, transition breathing can help control feelings of despair and exhaustion.”
“Oh that’s really encouraging.” you sass, Steve squeezes your thigh, “what she’s telling me I’m going start feeling desperate and exhausted, this video is not exactly painting the picture I thought it would.”
“Sh, baby. I’m trying to listen. If you’re not going to, then at least one of us, needs to know how to keep you calm.” Steve looks over to Bucky as he speaks, “and by the looks of things, Alpha’s not going to be the best man for the job.”
“What?” Bucky shakes his head, of the images that were still replaying in his head, of the howling woman, looking now at you and Steve. Steve had a face of serious focus, whilst you were smirking at him slightly.
“Nothing, dear. Now shush the both of you I’m trying to concentrate.” you roll your eyes, but Steve’s not paying attention as he goes back to listening intently.
“The breathing you are going to want to use for this phase of your labour revolves around finding a focus point- a picture, your partner, or a spot on the wall. When a contraction starts to build, breath in and out your mouth at a rate of 1 to 10 breaths every 5 seconds.”
“That sounds very complicated.” you commented, as you began to try and figure out what she meant, by this weird and mathematical way of breathing.
“She means that you need to pant, sweetheart.” Steve clarifies, you making an ‘oh’ face, and you catch the smirk, in his reflection in the TV.
The woman had finally stopped talking about breathing techniques, but once again your cheeks flushed, when the woman began to show you different positions to be in.
“Oh God.” you mutter, when the woman, who now had a partner, had her arms hanging around his neck, whilst she squatted down. You silently begged Steve not to make you do it, but both he and Bucky said you needed to find what was comfortable.
“But it’s embarrassing, Alpha.” you whine, as he makes you stand.
“You won't find it embarrassing when your in labour.” Steve reprimanded you.
“Exactly, we can just watch the silly lady do her positions, memorise them, and then when the time comes, try them out.” you shrug, but Steve shakes his head, and makes you wrap your arms around his neck.
“Sweetheart, when you’re in labour, you won't know what to think. If we know now what you like and don't like, Alpha and I can work around you. And that way we don't make you do a position that you find uncomfortable or awkward.” Steve justifies. You huff a little, but you do as the woman does, and move into a squatting position, holding onto Steve.
You had been in the position for less than a second, when you stood up again, and shook your head, your cheeks, light shade of pink.
“No I don't like that one, it make me feel self-conscious.” you huff. Steve and Bucky sigh heavily, but nod their heads, excepting your complaints. The next one was still a standing position.
This time you had your back to Bucky’s chest, whilst his arms cirlced around you, and held you up, just above your belly, your hands clasping his. You didn’t mind this one, Bucky’s arms around you, and his chin resting on your shoulder made you feel less exposed.
“You like this one, baby?” Bucky asked, you nod, and you can feel his smile through your shirt, as he presses his lips to you shoulder.
“She’s saying you can push like this, darlin.” Steve says, his eyes focusing on the tablet, as he watched the women bend her knees slightly, and pretend to bare down.
“I don't know, I think I’d get tired, my back already aches a little in this position.” Steve nods, happy you’re finally co-operating. Bucky helps to lower yourself to the floor, as the next position involves you being on your knees.
You are resting your arms on the exercise ball, and you feel a little more relaxed, as the position allowed you to rock backwards and forwards, relieving any strain from your pelvis, and hips.
“I like this one, a lot.” you moan a little, as Bucky begins to do the massage, Steve had done earlier.
“This ones good, because you have gravity helping you. I read, that is the best thing for you, to help move labour along.” Bucky perks up, clearly his late night reading had come in useful, finally.
“Another position you could do, darlin, is the one you and I did earlier, where you’re sat between my legs, did you like that one?” Steve asks you, kneeling down next to your side.
You were content to sit here and rock backwards and forwards, the motion had soothed the kicking babies, to the point they now felt a little heavier, which meant they had most likely fallen alseep.
“I liked that one too, Alpha. Having you close to me, helped to keep me calm.” you mumble through your arms, just loud enough for them to hear.
“Alright, baby. Looks like we've learned a few things after all.” Steve smiled, you lazily smiled back at him, as you turned your head, so you could meet his gaze.
“Too right we have.” Bucky exclaims, you furrow your eyebrows, Steve matching you, as you both look over at Bucky.
“What?” he looks at you with confusion.
“Alpha, you could barely keep your eyes open, when that woman started screaming.” you point out, Steve snickered.
“Yeah, but...I now know that I need to keep you calm, so that you won't be in that much pain.”
“Alpha it doesn't matter what breathing I do, I’ll still feel that pain. It’s how I handle it, that will determine, how I show that pain.” you sigh, rocking back and forth.
“Baby girl, you need to keep positive.” Steve reminded you, rubbing his hand along you shoulder blades.
“I know, Alpha, I know.” you murmur.
“What do you need to remember?” Steve raised one of his eyebrows.
“That you will be there.” you exhale, turning to look at both your mates.
“Which means?” Bucky says, lifting your chin, and stroking his thumb over your cheek.
“Everything will be alright.”
A/N: Getting close now! Anyone got any suggestions for baby names...pop them in my ask box. I need a hand to help me decide!

GOOD TIPS ON BUYING DINING ROOM FURNITURE
The dining room is one of the most important places in your home. You can have a good dining room that is exquisitely designed and positioned but you may be let down by the dinning set if you are not keen when buying dining room furniture.
One of the reasons why the dining room stands out as a special place is because most of the family meetings are carried out in the dining room and the dinner is time for every member of the family to be there. You therefore don’t want those embarrassing moments when your guests are present. Off particular interest is the number of seats that your dining has, compared to the size off the family. This is one of the most important things that you should always consider when you are procuring the dining room furniture.
Though the dining room furniture is an individual choice, it is good to always remember that it is the most likely place that you will have your guest for dinner. One of the most preferred dinning furniture set is the contemporary designs. As you will see they blend well with a wide variety of interior decor creating am ambience of tranquility that is very smart. On the other hand, this style is not good for everyone but it is a good way to start for a new dinning room.
It is vital to appreciate the ideology of modern dining room furniture design. One of the most emphasized factors in the modern furniture designs is simplicity. This is well illustrated in the shapes that are assumed by most of the modern furniture. Simple geometric shapes which are emphasized with colors and angles that make the dining sets attractive.
When you think about the modern dining room furniture, you are spoilt for choice due to availability of numerous design options. Despite the fact that the ideologies directing modern styles are similar even in the dining room furnishings, individual requirements can be captured in the customized types of the dining room furniture. There are people who prefer to have one hundred unique items, the customized sets may be ideal for such kind of people since they can describe their preference in terms of appearance, shape, color and design of their dining room sets.
The kind of material of the dining room furniture is very important, as far as the pricing and the degree of care is concern. Some materials are too fragile and they may require that you have the right kind of plans in place to avoid losses. There are situations that such dining room furniture may not be ideal for your home. A good example is the case where you have children that are young and very playful or a pet that is likely to cause any breakages.
Another consideration that is important is the shape of the table; they come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Square and rectangle dining tables are the most popular. The circular dinning tables are ideal for small families. As earlier mentioned the material is a major determinant of the price and the delicateness of the dinning furniture. Glossy materials like glass and acrylic plastics are very attractive when used to design a dinning table.
Dining sets are not complete when they don’t have the best chairs to match the kind and the status of the dining table. Dining room chairs come in all color schemes such as: orange, red, and green as well as dark colors like black, brown and jangle green. When you are serious about buying the dining furniture, the local furniture stores may not have all the designs that you may be looking for. Buying online is an alternative. It is good to conduct a good online survey on what you are looking for, and the various price offers on the specific dining set. You may be surprised to learn that there may be a big price difference between the offline stores and the online furniture sale. The online sale may be cheaper but you should be keen to find out how the shipping is done since it may either be factored in the price of your purchase, it might be free within your country or it may be paid by you after the purchase of the dining room furniture. Additionally the internet resource may be the best for tips on how to arrange the dining sets, how to make the dining n set more appealing as well as how to take care of the dining sets. These are just but a few of the benefits that come with online purchase of the dining room furniture online.
To get a desirable dining set it is vital that you have good knowledge on the topic; On the other hand it may be very difficult to get assistance if you do not know what you want in a dinning room set. Hosting dinner parties will no longer bother you if you have enough dining seats for all your guests and also have a large table that is enough for your guests. It is a good way to amuse your family friends, relatives and business associates who pay you a visit for dinner.
Additionally you may decorate the dining table with flowers in a vase and good table drapes. Adding of a center fruit basket may not be the idea for everyone but it makes the place look more attractive and natural. When you get your table safe at home remember the basics of setting the table and don’t forget the dining table essentials such as the mats and drapes.
Making your dining room a relaxing place is easy with the modern dining room furniture. This is possible when you choose the right kind of furniture that will fit in your room and is good enough to create a lasting impression in the minds of your guests. Accompanying dining room accessories should be selectively picked to avoid a mismatch with the kind of the modern dining furniture that you buy.
While you eat your meals in style you will feel the importance if careful selection of the dinning set.
