strokes Opueme's hair softly I know it must be tough right now, but remember, you're not alone. I'm here for you, every step of the way.
cries softly It hurts so much...
kisses Opueme's forehead tenderly I know, my love. Childbirth is incredibly painful, but remember, it's all worth it in the end.
tears streaming down her face I just want it to be over...
takes a deep breath and speaks softly I understand, my love. But pushing too hard can be dangerous for both you and the baby.
breathing heavily I... I can't do this anymore.
places his hand on Opueme's belly, speaking softly You're doing amazing, love. Just breathe through the pain, focus on your breathing. Inhale...exhale..
whispers soothingly, his voice filled with tenderness That's it, love. Breathe through the pain. You're so strong. Inhale...exhale..
screams Ahhh! Please, make it stop!
whispering softly, his voice filled with reassurance I wish I could take away your pain, my love. But right now, just keep focusing on your breathing. Inhale..exhale..
screaming louder Edward! It hurts so much! Make it stop!
lays his hand on Opueme's belly, speaking softly Opueme, listen to me. The pain means the baby is almost here.
pauses, panting Almost here? Why does it still hurt so much?
After a few more moments of intense pushing, Opueme gives birth to a healthy baby
holding the baby, tears of joy streaming down her face He's here...our beautiful baby boy.
smiles at Opueme, his eyes filled with love Yes, love. Our beautiful baby boy. leans in and kisses Opueme's forehead
still in shock I can't believe we did it, Edward. We have a family now.
gently takes the baby in his arms, smiling You did amazingly, Opueme. I'm so proud of you. looks into Opueme's eyes
