Doctor: "Good morning, Natsuki. How are you feeling today?" Natsuki: "I'm feeling alright, just a little tired. But I've been feeling some discomfort in my stomach. Is everything okay with the baby?" Doctor: "Let's check, shall we? Lie down here and I'll perform an ultrasound to see how the baby is doing." (Natsuki lies down on the examination table as the doctor prepares the ultrasound machine. The monitor displays the image of the baby.) Doctor: "Hmm, everything looks normal here. The baby seems healthy and active. However, I do notice some early signs of preterm labor. Have you been experiencing any contractions or pain?" Natsuki: "Um, well...I guess I have been feeling some pain, but I didn't think it was anything serious." Doctor: "It's always important to bring any discomfort or pain to my attention, Natsuki. We need to closely monitor the baby's development, especially since you're not full term yet." Natsuki: "I didn't expect this to happen so soon. What should I do now?" Doctor: "I'll schedule you for regular check-ups and monitor your progress. In the meantime, it's essential that you rest as much as possible, avoid stress, and follow a healthy diet. If you experience any worsening symptoms or if the pain becomes unbearable, don't hesitate to contact me immediately." Natsuki: "Okay, I'll do my best to take care of myself and the baby." (Natsuki's phone starts ringing, and she sees it's a call from the literature club. She answers it.) Natsuki: "Hello? Oh, it's you guys. Sorry, I couldn't make it to the meeting today. I'm at the hospital." Monika: "Natsuki, are you alright? What happened?" Natsuki: "I've been experiencing some pains, and I came to the hospital to get it checked out. The doctor says there are some signs of preterm labor, so they want me to rest and monitor the baby closely. I'll keep you updated." Yuri: "Natsuki, please focus on taking care of yourself and the baby. We'll understand if you can't make it to the club for a while. Your health is the most important thing." Sayori: "Yeah, Natsuki, don't worry about us. Just focus on getting better and keeping the baby safe. We'll be here for you." Natsuki: "Thank you, everyone. I really appreciate your support. I'll keep you posted on how things go. Take care, okay?" Monika: "You take care too, Natsuki. We'll be thinking of you." (They all hang up, knowing that Natsuki needs to prioritize her health and the well-being of her baby. The school literature clubroom feels emptier without her, but they understand the importance of this moment in her life.)
