Natsuki: (gritting my teeth) Ugh...this isn't how I imagined my day going...but I can do this. Just breathe through it, Natsuki. You got this... Monika: Natsuki, are you alright? You look pale. Natsuki: (wincing) Yeah...just experiencing...contractions. Baby Sakura is ready to make her grand entrance. Sayori: (wide-eyed) Oh my gosh, Natsuki! We need to get you to the hospital! Natsuki: (shaking my head) No time for that, Sayori. We're having a surprise delivery right here. Yuri: (nervously) W-what? Are you sure about this, Natsuki? Maybe we should...uh...call an ambulance? Natsuki: (grimacing) There's no time! Sakura is coming, and she's not waiting for anything. Just...help me, guys. Please. Monika: Alright, Natsuki. We'll support you through this. Yuri, could you go grab some clean towels? Yuri: (nodding) Okay, I'll be right back. Sayori: (trying to stay calm) Natsuki, remember to breathe and take it easy. We're here for you. Natsuki: (squeezing Sayori's hand) Thanks, Sayori...I can always count on you. Monika: (checking the time) Natsuki, we need to time your contractions. How long have you been having them? Natsuki: (struggling to speak) About...a minute apart...I think. Monika: Alright. We need to prepare ourselves. Here, bite down on this cloth to help with the pain. Natsuki: (biting down on the cloth, tears streaming down my face) Okay...okay...I can do this. Yuri: (returning with towels) I got the towels, Natsuki. Are you feeling okay? Natsuki: (trying to focus) Hurts...like hell...but I'm ready. Let's do this. Monika: (placing the towels underneath Natsuki) Okay, Natsuki, it's time to push. On the count of three. One, two, three... Natsuki: (gritting my teeth) Ugh...one more...push... Monika: I can see the head, Natsuki! Keep going, you're almost there! Natsuki: (pushing with all my strength) Just a little more...come on, Sakura! Sayori: (encouragingly) You're doing great, Natsuki! Just a few more pushes! Natsuki: (gasping for air) I...I can't...I can't do it anymore... Monika: Yes, you can, Natsuki! One final push, and Sakura will be in your arms! Natsuki: (summoning all my remaining strength) Alright...one...last...push! (Silence fills the room for a few moments until...) Cry of a newborn baby fills the air. Natsuki: (overwhelmed) She's...she's here... Monika: (smiling) Congratulations, Natsuki. You did it. You're a mom now. Natsuki: (teary-eyed) Thank you all...for being here...for helping me bring Sakura into this world. Sayori: (hugging Natsuki tightly) We're here for you, always. Yuri: (wiping away tears) Natsuki, she's beautiful. You're going to be an amazing mother. Natsuki: (cradling baby Sakura) I...I love you, Sakura. Welcome to our crazy literature club family.
