[b]Anthony walks over, med-kit open as he leans down.[/b]
"I have absolutely no idea who you are, but I know when someone's going into labor. I'd rather see babies be healthy and delivered right. How long have you been having contractions?"
English
-
"An hour."
-
"Well, that means your baby will be here any second." [b]He takes a scalpel, caliper, and a cauterizer out of his bag.[/b] "You're gonna need to push."
-
Layla pushes as much as possible, and the top of the babies head begins to protrude from her.
-
"Just a little more, then I'll be able to help. Push!"
-
The babies head slowly comes out.
-
"Good. Keep pushing." [b]He puts his gloved hands on the baby's head, guiding the direction.[/b]
-
The rest of the body comes out easier as Layla pushes incredibly hard. She falls out of her into Anthony's hands.
-
"Good. You did great. I'll handle the rest." [b]He presses the calipers down on the umbilical cord, and cuts it with the scalpel. He immediately cauterizes the wound, and checks the baby's gender.[/b]
-
The baby is female.
-
"It's a girl!" [b]He severs the rest of the umbilical cord, and cauterizes it.[/b]
-
Tears roll down Layla's eyes as she takes the baby and showers it in maternal affection.
-
[b]Anthony takes a few steps back, and smiles behind his helmet.[/b] "Best part. Right there. Seeing the joy."
-
"Thank you... I never caught your name?"
-
"Anthony. What's yours?"
-
"Layla."
-
"It was nice to meet you, Layla."
