(In the clubroom…)

Natsuki: (absolutely fuming) “GAH! How come she hasn’t shown up yet?!”

Monika: “Natsuki, calm down. She’s probably running late.”

Sayori: (entering the room) “Who are you two waiting for?”

Natsuki: (angry) “We’re waiting for Yuri! She said she’d be here and now she’s nowhere to be found!”

Sayori: (concerned) “Oh no, that’s unusual. Yuri’s usually very punctual. I hope she’s okay.”

Monika: “Maybe we should try calling her to see if everything’s alright?”

Natsuki: (crossing her arms) “Yeah, let’s give her a call. This is just ridiculous.”

(Sayori takes out her phone and dials Yuri’s number)

Sayori: (waiting) “Hmm, it’s ringing, but she’s not picking up…”

Natsuki: (worried) “What if something happened to her? We should go check on her, just in case.”

Monika: “I agree, let’s all go. Yuri might need our help.”

(The three of them rush out of the clubroom and head towards Yuri’s house. When they arrive, they knock on the door, but there’s no response.)

Sayori: (concerned) “Yuri? Are you there? It’s Sayori, Natsuki, and Monika.”

Natsuki: (impatient) “Maybe she’s not home. We should try the door just in case.”

(Monika cautiously turns the doorknob and finds that it’s unlocked. They enter Yuri’s house and call out for her, searching through the rooms.)

Monika: (calling out) “Yuri, are you here? Please, answer us.”

(They finally reach Yuri’s bedroom, where they find her sitting on the floor, and very obviously in labor - and her contractions were too close together for a trip to the hospital.)

Monika: (shocked) “Oh my god, Yuri! Are you…giving birth?!”

Yuri: (gritting her teeth) “Y-yes…I…didn’t expect it to happen so soon…! These contractions…they’re too close together!”

Natsuki: (panicking) “What do we do? We can’t just deliver a baby here!”

Yuri: “You’ll just have to try. Please - save my baby!”

Sayori: (nervously) “I…I’ve seen videos of childbirth before, but I don’t know if I can handle this. What if something goes wrong?”

Monika: (taking a deep breath) “We have to stay calm and focused. Yuri, is there anything we can use as makeshift supplies?”

Yuri: (straining) “There…there should be towels in the bathroom cabinet. And…clean water. Please hurry.”

Natsuki: (determined) “Alright, I’ll get the towels and boiling some water. Monika, what do we do next?”

Monika: (thinking quickly) “First, we need to make sure Yuri is as comfortable as possible. Find some pillows or blankets for her to lean on.”

Sayori: (rushing to find supplies) “I’ll check the living room for extra cushions! Just hold on, Yuri!”

Natsuki: (returning with towels and hot water) “Here, Yuri. I’ve brought everything we need. Are you okay?”

Yuri: (grateful) “Thank you, Natsuki. The pain…it’s intense, but I’m managing. Please, we don’t have much time.”

Monika: (taking charge) “Okay, Natsuki, you’ll need to assist Yuri during contractions. Remember, we have to be gentle.”

Natsuki: (nervously) “Got it. I’ll do my best to help you, Yuri.”

Sayori: (returning with blankets) “I found some extra blankets! Here, Yuri, let’s make you as comfortable as possible.”

Yuri: (weakly) “Thank you, Sayori. I…I appreciate all of you being here. I wouldn’t have made it through this alone.”

Monika: (placing a hand on Yuri’s shoulder) “We’re here for you, Yuri. We’ll do whatever it takes to help you safely deliver your baby.”

(Together, the girls work tirelessly to support Yuri through each contraction, guiding her and providing comfort. After what feels like an eternity, Yuri feels the urgent need to push.)

Yuri: (straining) “It’s time… I need to push.”

Natsuki: (encouragingly) “You can do it, Yuri! Just breathe and push with all your strength.”

Monika: (calmly) “Remember to listen to your body and follow its cues. We’re right here with you.”

Sayori: (holding Yuri’s hand) “You’re doing amazing, Yuri! Keep pushing, and we’ll meet your beautiful baby soon.”

(Yuri pushes with determination, the pain and effort evident on her face. The girls continue to support her, guiding her through the process.)

Monika: (noticing progress) “I see the baby’s head! Just a few more pushes, Yuri, and we’ll welcome your little one into the world.”

Natsuki: (gently) “You’re doing great, Yuri. Keep pushing, and we’ll be holding your baby in no time.”

Yuri: “Okay, here goes nothing! One last push!” (pushing with all her might) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

(With one final push, Yuri gives it her all, and suddenly, the sound of a baby crying fills the room. The girls look at each other in awe and relief, tears streaming down their faces.)

Monika: (overwhelmed) “Oh my goodness, Yuri, you did it! You did it!”

Natsuki: (teary-eyed) “Congratulations, Yuri! You’re officially a mom!”

Sayori: (sniffles) “I’m so proud of you, Yuri! You were so strong and brave!”

Yuri: (exhausted but beaming) “Thank you all… I couldn’t have done it without your support. She’s finally here…”

(Natsuki quickly cuts the umbilical cord with a pair of scissors, while Monika wraps the baby in a towel and places her carefully in Yuri’s arms.)

Monika: (gentle) “Here she is, Yuri. Your beautiful baby girl. Welcome to the world, little one.”

Yuri: (whispering, overwhelmed with emotions) “Hello, my precious angel…”

(Sayori wipes away her tears and hugs the three of them, a sense of joy and unity filling the room. Just then, Yuri’s 5-year-old son - Amatsu - runs right into the room.)
