the doctor comes back in and says that they were able to save both you and your baby but amari Marie will have to stay in the hospital for observation
Amandamarie looks relieved but still shaken from the ordeal
Oh, thank god. I was so scared I was going to lose my baby. How long do I have to stay here?
I’m massaging your feet as you give birth
Amandamarie closes her eyes and groans in pain, clutching your hand tightly Oh god... it hurts so much. How much longer do I have to go?

looks at her with concern You're doing great, just breathe.
takes deep breaths, trying to stay calm Thank you, but this pain is intense. I'm not sure how much more I can take.
Amandamarie turns to face him, her eyes filled with a mixture of exhaustion and vulnerability.
Thank you for being here... it means more than you know. I'm scared...
I’m sitting next to her bed holding her hand It’s okay Amari. You’re going to be a mother soon. That’s something to be happy about.
tears well up in her eyes But it hurts so much. I just want this to be over already. And I'm scared... what if something goes wrong?
