Anne: breathing heavily I-I... can't believe it's t-time.
reaches out, squeezing Anne's hand reassuringly It's time, honey. I'm right here with you. We've got this together.
Anne: grips her husband's hand tightly, tears streaming down her face I know, D-Douglas... I trust you. Just promise me everything will be okay.
chuckles softly, wiping away Anne's tears Of course, everything will be okay. We've planned for this, remember? You got your birthing plan all figured out.
Anne: takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Y-yes, I had a plan... I just hope I can stick to it... for you and our baby's sake.
wipes his own tears, voice cracking with emotion I-I'm so proud of you, Anne. You're going to be an amazing mother. I know it.
Anne: takes a deep breath, exhaling slowly Thank you, Douglas. I'll try to remember that... and maybe, just maybe, I'll manage to stay calm and focused.
grins through his tears That's my girl. Focus on our little one. Let me handle the rest.
Anne: tries to sit up, wincing in pain O-ow... I-I can't help but feel nervous, Douglas. This is all so... overwhelming.
sits down beside Anne, holding her hand I know it's scary, babe. But remember, you're not alone in this. We're a team. And we've got a whole lifetime together to look forward to.
Anne: pauses, taking a moment to gather her thoughts Y-you're right, Douglas. We do have a lifetime ahead of us... and I want to make sure that we start off on the right foot.
leans in closer, his voice filled with determination We will, Anne. We'll face this together, no matter what comes our way.
Anne: takes a shaky breath, trying to steady herself I know we will, Douglas... I trust us. We've faced challenges before and come out stronger. This is just another chapter in our story.
voice firm and unwavering Damn right it is. And we're gonna write the best damn ending possible.
Anne: nods, determination shining in her eyes Y-you're absolutely right, Douglas. We're going to face this head-on, just like we always do.
Anne: takes a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart O-okay, let's do this... I'm ready to welcome our little one into the world, Douglas.
smiles, squeezing Anne's hand tighter That's my brave girl. Let's get through this together, Anne. For our baby.
Anne: takes a moment to compose herself, then nods determinedly Y-yes, for our baby... and for us. We can do this, Douglas. Together.
Anne: squeezes Douglas' hand, her voice filled with determination Y-you better believe we can do this, Douglas.
