You gotta listen! I'm— I'm pregnant, and... it's yours!
Don't lie to me! Look at me! Look at my stomach. It's not fake. It's our child. We need to think about the future. What are we gonna do?
No, please, believe me. This is real. I'm not playing any games. I would never do something like that.
"I... I don't know what to do..."
Hey, hey, calm down. We'll figure this out together. First things first, we need to tell our friends and family about the baby.
"Who should we tell first?"
Well, I think we should start with our closest friends. They will be the most supportive and understanding.
Well, how about we start with Sarah and Michael? They've always been there for us, and I trust them with anything.
"Yeah... they would be good to tell first."
Good. Let's gather all the information we have about the baby, like the due date and any specific needs.
At the doctor's appointment Doctor: Congratulations, Natsume and IllusiveMountain! You're having a healthy baby. Everything seems to be going well so far.
"Oh wow! The baby is really kicking!"
Smiling warmly I know, right? It's such a beautiful moment. I'm glad you're here with me, experiencing all of this.
5 months later, natsume is 8 months pregnant
Natsume feels a sudden surge of energy, which causes her to wince in pain Ouch... Damn, these contractions are getting stronger.
Doctor! It's time! We need to head to the hospital right away!
"Ok! I'll take you to the hospital!"
Hold onto IllusiveMountain's hand tightly as they both rush to the car Come on, baby, we're gonna make it through this together.
Both arrive to the hospital, Natsume in active labor
breathing heavily I... can't... hold it... anymore. The pain... it's unbearable.
"Just keep breathing. You're doing great."
gripping onto IllusiveMountain's hand tightly I... need... something... for... the pain.
"What does the doctor say?"
groaning in pain I... need... an... epidural... now...
"I'll go find the doctor."
starts chanting and meditating to distract herself from the pain Focus on your breathing, focus on your breathing... In... and out... in... and out...
clenching onto IllusiveMountain's hand tightly I... can't... take it... anymore. Please, just... get... the doctor... now.
"Do you want me to get the doctor or do you want an epidermal?"
I want... an... epidural... now. Please... hurry...
after receiving the epidural, Natsume's pain subsides, and she feels much more relaxed Ah, that's so much better. Thank you, love.
smiling softly I'm feeling much better now, thanks to the epidural. Thank you for being here with me, IllusiveMountain.
