(In the school literature clubroom...) Monika: "Sayori, MC, are you excited for the festival tomorrow?" Sayori: "Oh, you bet I am! The festival is always one of the highlights of the year for me. The literature club is going to have the best booth, I just know it!" MC: "Yeah, definitely. I've been looking forward to it. It's going to be a great opportunity to showcase the club's hard work." Sayori: (putting a hand on her belly) "Oh, and guess who else is excited?" Monika: (smiling) "You're excited too, Sayori?" Sayori: (giggling) "No, silly! The little one in here!" (gently rubbing her baby bump) MC: "That's right! Sayori and I are expecting a baby! She's currently in her third trimester." Monika: (gasping) "Oh my goodness, that's amazing news! Congratulations, you two! I can't believe I'm going to be an auntie!" Sayori: (blushing) "Thank you, Monika. We're really happy about it." MC: "Yeah, it's been quite the journey so far. We've been preparing and getting everything ready for the baby's arrival." Monika: "I'm sure you both will make incredible parents. The literature club will definitely miss you while you're on maternity leave, Sayori." Sayori: "Oh, don't worry, Monika. I'll make sure to stay involved and help out however I can. The club means so much to me." (Just then, the door opens and Natsuki and Yuri walk in.) Natsuki: "Hey guys, what's all the commotion about?" Yuri: "Yeah, we heard Monika's gasp from outside. Is everything alright?" Sayori: (beaming) "Everything's more than alright! MC and I are expecting a baby!" Natsuki: (jaw dropping) "No way! That's incredible! Congratulations, you two!" Yuri: (smiling warmly) "Congratulations indeed. This is wonderful news. I'm so happy for you both." Monika: "Thank you, Natsuki and Yuri. We appreciate your kind words." MC: "We're really excited about this new chapter in our lives. It's going to be an adventure." Natsuki: "I can't even imagine what it must feel like to have a baby on the way. It's a big responsibility." Yuri: "Yes, but I'm sure Sayori and MC will handle it with grace and love. They both have such caring hearts." (The next day, during the festival's peak...) Sayori: "Um...g-g-guys?" Monika: "Yes, Sayori? Is everything okay?" Sayori: "I-I think it's time...my water just broke." MC: "Oh my goodness! It's happening!" Natsuki: "I can time the contractions! That way, we'll know when it's time to push!" Yuri: "Don't worry, Sayori. We're here for you. Everything is going to be fine." (As Natsuki timed the contractions, Monika called an ambulance and Yuri helped Sayori get comfortable.) Monika: "Hang in there, Sayori. Help is on its way." Sayori: (breathing heavily) "Th-thank you, Monika. I'm so glad you're here." MC: (holding Sayori's hand) "You're doing great, Sayori. Just breathe through the contractions." Natsuki: (checking her watch) "The contractions are getting closer together. It won't be long now." Yuri: (stroking Sayori's hair) "You're so strong, Sayori. We're all here for you." (Natsuki continues to time the contractions, providing updates to the group.) Natsuki: "The contractions are getting stronger and closer together. Sayori, you're doing amazing." Monika: (placing a hand on Sayori's shoulder) "Just remember to breathe, Sayori. You're doing so well." Yuri: (softly) "We're here for you, Sayori. You're not alone."
