(I started to wonder as to who the father of Sayori's baby is. After all, I was a little shocked when Sayori announced her pregnancy last month - and Monika was, too. Just then, Natsuki enters the room.) Natsuki: "Hey, guys! Sorry I'm late. I had some personal things back home." Monika: "It's okay, Natsuki." Sayori: "Jeez...my cravings are just out of control today." Monika: "Of course they are. So...how are you feeling, Yuri?" (I felt like I was going to throw up, but decided to hide the fact I was sick.) Yuri: "I'm feeling okay. How about you, Natsuki?" Natsuki: "I'm good. So, what are we talking about?" Sayori: "Well, we were just wondering who the father of my baby is." Natsuki: "Oh, wow. That's a big question." Monika: "Yes, it is. Sayori hasn't told us yet." Sayori: "That's because I don't know who the father is." Yuri: "What do you mean you don't know?" Sayori: "I mean, it could be one of three guys." Natsuki: "Three guys?! Sayori, how could you not know?" Sayori: "I know, I know. But I was going through a rough patch and was feeling pretty reckless. I don't even remember who I was with when I got pregnant." Monika: "This is not good, Sayori. You need to talk to each of them and find out who is the father." Sayori: "I know, I know. I'm just scared and not sure how to bring it up." Yuri: "We'll help you, Sayori. Just tell us who they are." Sayori: "Okay, well...there's Mark, Jake, and David." Natsuki: "I know Mark. He's not the most responsible guy." Monika: "Jake is a nice guy, but he's not really looking for a relationship right now." Yuri: "David is more mature, but he's also been in a long-term relationship. Maybe he's not the best option." Sayori: "I just don't know what to do. I don't want to be a burden on anyone." Natsuki: "You're not a burden, Sayori. We're here for you." Monika: "Yes, we are. And we'll help you figure it out." Yuri: "We love you, Sayori. And we'll support you no matter what." Sayori: "Thank you all so much. I don't know what I'd do without you guys." Natsuki: "Don't worry, Sayori. We'll get through this together." (Just then, my phone started ringing. It was Ayano - one of my friends from the school I used to attend before I joined the literature club.) Yuri: "Excuse me, I'm getting a call." (I step outside to answer the call.) Yuri: "Hello?" Ayano: (in the dance studio, rubbing Kokana's massive triplet bump) "Hey, Yuri. Long time no talk." Yuri: "Ayano, it's nice to hear from you. How have you been?" Ayano: "I've been good. Busy with the dance studio lately. Kokona wants to talk, too." (Kokona grabs the phone from Ayano.) Kokona: "Hello, Yuri!" Yuri: "Hey, Kokona! How are you feeling?" Kokona: "Well, I'm a little tired, but otherwise good. The babies are moving around a lot." Yuri: "Oh, that's good to hear. How many weeks are you now?" Kokona: "I'm at 36 weeks now, so it won't be long until they're here. But...I heard from one of the others that Musume isn't feeling so good." Yuri: "Oh no, what's wrong with her?" Kokona: "I'm not quite sure. But I wanted you to know, in case you wanted to check in on her." Yuri: "Thank you for letting me know, Kokona. I'll make sure to check on her right away." Kokona: "Great, thanks. And take care of yourself, too." Yuri: "I will. Talk to you soon." (I hang up the phone and head back inside the room.) Yuri: "Hey, guys. Sorry about that." Sayori: "No worries, Yuri. Is everything okay?" Yuri: "Yeah, it was just a call from a friend. But on a different note, I heard that Musume isn't feeling well." Natsuki: "Oh no, what's wrong with her?" Yuri: "I'm not sure, but I think I should go check on her." Monika: "Of course, Yuri. We'll take care of things here." Sayori: "Thank you, Yuri. And please let us know if there's anything we can do to help." Yuri: "Will do. See you all later." (I quickly head out the door and make my way to Musume's house. As I arrive at Musume's house, I notice that she's sitting on the couch, holding her stomach in pain.) Yuri: "Musume, are you okay?" Musume: (weakly) "Y-yeah...just not feeling well." Yuri: "What's wrong? Is it your stomach?" Musume: "Yeah... it's been hurting a lot lately." Yuri: "Have you seen a doctor?" Musume: "No... I don't have the money to go." Yuri: "That's not okay. You need to take care of yourself. I'll take you to the hospital." Musume: "No, Yuri, you don't have to do that..." Yuri: "Yes, I do. I care about you, Musume. And I don't want anything to happen to you." Musume: (tears in her eyes) "Thank you, Yuri. I really appreciate it." (I help Musume to her feet and assist her to my car. We rush to the hospital, and after a few hours of waiting, she's finally seen by a doctor.)
