(In the clubroom…)

Natsuki: “Hang on…where’s Monika?”

Yuri: “You’re right! She hasn’t shown up yet!”

Sayori: “I’m starting to get worried about her. I’ll give her a call.”

(Sayori takes out her phone and dials Monika’s number. After a few rings, it goes to voicemail.)

Sayori: “Oh no…she’s not answering. Maybe she’s just running late?”

Natsuki: “I don’t know…Monika is usually very punctual. It’s not like her to miss a club meeting.”

Yuri: “Perhaps something unexpected came up. We should wait a little longer before we start panicking.”

(Meanwhile, in Monika’s house…)

Monika: (breathing heavily and clutching her baby bump) “I can’t have contractions now…not at 7 months…Minika…it’s too early for you to come out now…” (starting to give birth) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!” (looking down at her baby bump) “Couldn’t you have waited two more months, Minika?!”

(Sayori’s phone suddenly rings, interrupting their conversation. She picks it up.)

Sayori: “Hello? Monika? Oh, thank goodness you’re okay! We were getting worried.”

Monika: (on the phone, in a pained voice) “Sayori, I…I’m giving birth in my room. Minika’s coming out right now.”

Sayori: (panicked) “What?! Monika, stay on the line! We’ll call an ambulance right away!”

(Back in the clubroom…)

Sayori: “Guys, we need to call an ambulance. Monika is giving birth at home!”

Natsuki: “What?! Is she okay? We need to go help her!”

Yuri: “I’ll call for an ambulance immediately. We need to let them know the address.”

(Sayori dials 911 while Yuri quickly relays the details to the operator.)

Operator: “Emergency services, what’s your emergency?”

Yuri: “Hello, my friend is currently in labor at home. We need an ambulance right away. The address is [Monika’s address].”

Operator: “Understood, help is on the way. Stay on the line and keep the area clear for the paramedics.”

(Sayori walks back to the others, still on the phone.)

Sayori: “The ambulance is on its way, but we need to go over to Monika’s house too.”

Natsuki: “Of course! Let’s go, Sayori.”

(The three of them rush out of the clubroom and head towards Monika’s house.)

(Meanwhile, in Monika’s room…)

Monika: (on the phone, in pain) “Sayori…hurry…I can see Minika’s head…”

Sayori: (frantically) “Just hold on, Monika! We’re on our way!”

Natsuki: “Come on, we need to get there as quickly as possible!”

Yuri: “I’ll call a taxi to make sure we have transportation ready when we reach Monika’s house.”

(Sayori, Natsuki, and Yuri hurry to catch a taxi, giving the driver Monika’s address. They anxiously wait as the taxi speeds towards Monika’s house.)

Natsuki: “I can’t believe this is happening! What do we do when we get there?”

Sayori: “First, we need to make sure Monika and the baby are safe. We might have to assist her until the paramedics arrive.”

Yuri: “I have some basic knowledge of childbirth. If necessary, I can help guide Monika through the process until professional help arrives.”

(After what feels like an eternity, the taxi arrives at Monika’s house. They rush inside to find Monika lying on the bed, still clutching her baby bump - and Minika’s head was already halfway through.)

Sayori: “Oh my gosh! Minika’s head really IS visible!”

Natsuki: “We need to act quickly! Monika, just hold on a little longer, help is on the way!”

Yuri: “Sayori, please remember to maintain calm and reassure Monika. We don’t want to cause her any additional stress.”

Sayori: “You’re right, Yuri. Monika, everything is going to be okay. We’re here with you, and the paramedics will be here soon.”

(Natsuki quickly grabs some clean towels and brings them to Yuri, who starts to guide Monika through the birthing process.)

Yuri: “Monika, I need you to take slow and deep breaths. Remember to relax as much as you can. We’re here to support you.”

Monika: (struggling but determined) “I…I can do this. Just a little longer…”

(Natsuki helps position the towels to receive the baby, while keeping an eye on Monika’s wellbeing.)

Natsuki: “You’re doing great, Monika! Just keep breathing and pushing. We’re right here with you.”

(Suddenly, the sound of sirens fills the air as the ambulance arrives. Paramedics rush into the room, assessing the situation.)

Paramedic: “Alright, we’re here now. Good job, everyone. Let us take it from here.”

(Yuri and Natsuki step aside, allowing the paramedics to take over. Sayori stays close to Monika, holding her hand for support.)

Monika: (teary-eyed but relieved) “Thank you…all of you. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

Sayori: “You’re a real trooper, Monika. We’re so proud of you.”

(The paramedics work swiftly and efficiently, helping Monika deliver the rest of the baby safely. Moments later, the sound of a baby’s cry fills the room.)

Paramedic: “Congratulations, it’s a healthy baby girl!”

Monika: (overwhelmed with emotions) “My baby Minika…”
