The Lactating Man!
Somebody's got to feed the baby!
CHAPTER ONE
"Honey, we've got a problem." I called to Robert
from the bedroom.
He was
watching Fox News, mesmerized by the screen and the conspiracies and Shannon
Bream. Hey, I don't care who he lusts
after, as long as he takes it out on me.
"Can't it wait?" He called back.
"Not for nine months!"
That got his
attention. He was standing in the bedroom doorway faster than you can change
channels. "What?"
"I said we've got a problem."
"You said something about nine months? What was
that?"
"I don't consider being pregnant a problem."
His face was
frozen for a moment, then it broke out in a bright shiny grin, and suddenly he
was hugging me. "For real! For serious!
You aren't kidding?"
"Nope," I held on to him and he picked me up and
whirled me around, then stopped and a look of panic came across his face.
"Oh, I can't do that."
"Oh, hell. You can do that. Just be careful. When
I start looking like I've eaten a watermelon, that's when you have to get real careful."
He grabbed
me in a hug again, though a bit subdued, and danced around the room. "We're pregnant! We're pregnant! We're pregnant!"
He chanted
endlessly, and I held on and enjoyed it. We had been trying for several years,
and this was it. Pregnant at last.
Then he
stopped, held me still and got very serious. "What problem?"
"Well, you remember how you wanted me to have my
boobs enhanced?"
He looked
confused. "Yeah?"
"And you remember how I didn't really want to do
it?"
"Yeah?"
"But I did it anyway?"
"And that was great! You really look great! And
you have to admit...it spiced up our love life. And if
it wasn't for that...maybe you wouldn't have even gotten pregnant."
"I understand all that."
"Then what's the problem."
"I talked to mother, and she pointed out that
women with implants lose the ability to nurse."
"What?" A look of concern. "But you don't have
that problem. You can't have that problem!"
I gave him a
look and waited.
"Oh my God! You can't have milk? Can't you nurse?
You have to be able to nurse! We've been planning on
it!"
"There was a price for these big cannons."
He stepped
back from me and looked at my bazooms, and I mean really looked.
Yes, I had
agreed to the surgery. And he didn't
even have to bend my arm. What woman doesn't want to look better?
But now
there was a consequence. One he hadn't planned
on.
"Well, can't we get another operation? Have them
reduced?"
"Doesn't work that way."
"We can hire a wet nurse!"
"Some other woman breast feeding my baby? I don't
think so."
"Then your mother..." and he stopped.
I shook my
head. "My mother would have to lactate. And she's a
little old for that."
"Lactate." He pondered. "Breast feed. Milk." Then
he looked at me. "What will we do?"
"Oh, the solution is really simple."
"It is?" he brightened up.
"Of course."
"What is it?"
"You."
He blinked. "Me?"
I smiled.
"Me what?"
"You are going to nurse our baby."
"Me? What? No! What are you...are you serious? Men can't nurse!"
"Au contraire, mon ami. Do a little Googling, look up 'galactorrhea,'
then come back and see me."
"I don't have the breasts. One needs breasts to
produce breast milk."
I smiled. "Ah, but you do. Do a little Googling, then come
back and see me."
"But I can't produce milk! Even if I had breasts!"
I smiled
wider. "Men can produce milk. Do a little Googling, then
come back and see me."
"But my body's not built for it! Male bodies can't
have babies!"
"We're not talking about having babies. We're
talking about a little breast milk. And if you can have tits and produce milk,
then you can breast feed. Do a little Googling and-"
"I know," he grouched. "Come back and see you."
With that he
was out of the room. Like the roadrunner. And I heard the computer fire up a
couple of seconds later.
Dum de dum de dum.
I folded underwear and put them away. I thought about all the things we were going to
have to do.
First was
me. I had to change my lifestyle and get ready to spit out a brat. Cool. I
looked forward to that. Made me all warm and fuzzy.
Second was
Robert. We were going to have to get him hormones, and medicines, and doctors
and even psychiatrists. Apparently a woman can risk her life for a baby and
nobody cares, but if a man wants to have breasts, oh, Lordie!
Ten minutes
later he came back into the room. His head was hanging and he was in deep
thought. He stood there without saying a word.
"Well?" I asked.
He looked
up. "You're right. But...but it's not right!"
"Why not?"
"Because that's woman's work."
"So you can never use a vacuum, and women can
never use a hammer and saw. Yes, I understand...that's pretty
logical."
Ha! Hoisted
on his own petard. Whatever a petard was.
"No, I didn't mean that!"
"What did you mean?" I was all innocence and happy
smiles.
"Well, to grow breasts I have to take hormones,
and it will change my body."
"Yes, I understand that. Having bigger boobs definitely changed my body."
"You're twisting my words!"
"Your words are already twisted enough, or at
least your logic is. Yes, you can take estrogen for a while, do the nursing,
then stop, and those changes all reverse."
He didn't have much to say to that. Funny thing is, I
was using some of the same logic he used on me when he persuaded me to have my
breasts enhanced.
He just
turned around and walked away. That surprised me, and it didn't. It was unlike him, which surprised me, but I
knew he needed time to grok it all.
I finished
putting away the laundry, then I went down the hall to the room we had planned
to make into a nursery.
It was
yellow, waiting for a decision as to whether pink or blue. There was a space
for a crib in one corner, and we already had a rocking chair. Mother had
brought that down as soon as I told her we were trying to have a baby. It had
sat there, gathering dust, for three years, but now, at last, it was going to
see some duty.
I sighed in
happiness, then I turned and walked down the hall to the kitchen.
Robert was
sitting in the living room. His head was down and he was in the deepest thought
I had ever seen. If I didn't know
better I would have thought it was a funk.
I entered
the kitchen, got down a couple of flutes from the cupboard and put them on the
table. Then I took out the champagne. Hundred dollars a bottle. We had planned
on opening it when we got pregnant. And here we were.
I unwrapped
the foil, then the twisty wire. I started edging the cork out. It was starting
to work its way out and I stepped into the living room.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR!" I yelled. And, POP!
I turned
quickly and poured the champagne into the flutes.
By the time
I had the glasses filled Robert was leaning against the side of the arch that
separated the living room from the dining room.
I didn't say a word. I just grinned at him, and handed
him a flute.
We stood
there for the longest time. He trying to de-funk himself. Me waiting. A sassy
grin plastered across my noble face.
Finally, he
shook his head, and the teensiest grin crept across his face.
"I'm really fucked on this, aren't I?"
"I got tits for you...now it's your turn to get tits
for me," I agreed.
He lifted a
glass, we clinked. And he said, "Here's to
titties."
And that was
the start.
