(Natsuki wakes up and gently holds one of her 3-year-old triplet daughters.)

Natsuki: “Jeez…being a single mother is hard.”

(Just then, there’s a knock on the door. It must’ve been from one of her club members.)

Natsuki: “Come in!”

(Monika enters the room - and she was 5 months pregnant. Her 5-year-old son, Ryū, with her.)

Ryū: (running up to Natsuki for a hug) “Aunt Natsuki!”

Natsuki: (smiling and embracing Ryū) “Hey there, little guy! How are you today?”

Ryū: “I’m good! Mommy says I’m going to be a big brother soon!”

Natsuki: (looking at Monika with a mix of surprise and excitement) “Is that true, Monika? Congratulations!”

Monika: (grinning) “Thank you, Natsuki! Yes, it’s true. Baby number two is on the way.”

Natsuki: “That’s wonderful news! I’m so happy for you.”

(Ryū’s attention is caught by Natsuki’s triplets.)

Ryū: (curious) “Who are they, Aunt Natsuki?”

Natsuki: (gently introducing her daughters) “These are my three beautiful daughters, Hana, Yumi, and Sakura.”

Hana: (shyly) “Hi.”

Yumi: (giggling) “Nice to meet you, Ryū!”

Sakura: (playfully) “Can we play together?”

Ryū: (excitedly) “Yes! Let’s play hide-and-seek!”

Natsuki: (chuckles) “Alright, but be careful, okay? And remember, they are younger than you.”

Monika: “I’ll keep an eye on them too. It’ll be fun!”

(The kids eagerly run off to play while Monika and Natsuki have a chance to catch up.)

Monika: “So, how are you managing as a single mom, Natsuki?”

Natsuki: (sighs) “It’s definitely tough. Balancing work, taking care of the girls, and making sure they’re happy and healthy…it’s a lot. But seeing them grow and thrive makes it all worth it.”

Monika: “I can imagine. Motherhood isn’t easy, but you’re doing an amazing job.”

Natsuki: (grateful) “Thank you, Monika. I appreciate your support. And congratulations again on your growing family. It’s going to be even more chaotic and wonderful for you with two little ones.”

Monika: (laughs) “I’m excited for the chaos. And don’t hesitate to reach out if you ever need any help or even just someone to talk to, okay?”

Natsuki: (smiling) “I won’t hesitate, thanks Monika. We’ve got each other’s backs, right?”

Monika: (nodding) “Absolutely. We’re a club of friends, after all.”

(As Natsuki watches the children playing happily together, she feels a sense of warmth and support, knowing she’s not alone in this journey of motherhood. Just then, Sayori bursts into the room - her 7 month bump is contracting rapidly.)

Hana, Yumi, Sakura, and Ryū: “Aunt Sayori?!”

Natsuki: (concerned) “Sayori, are you alright? What’s happening?”

Sayori: (breathing heavily) “I think… I’m going into labor, Natsuki. And they’re coming out fast!”

(Sayori quickly gets into a birthing position, but something was wrong - the delivery was causing Sayori so much pain.)

Sayori: (breathing heavily) “But…I don’t think one of the babies is in the right position!”

(Natsuki checks Sayori’s cervix, and finds out why Sayori was in so much pain.)

Natsuki: (worried) “Sayori, you’re right. The first baby is breech. I’ll try to get it into the correct position. Once I’m finished, push as hard as you can! Let’s bring these twins into the world!”

Ryū: “Yay! More cousins!”

(The room fills with a sense of urgency as Natsuki focuses on helping Sayori through the difficult delivery. With each passing moment, the pain intensifies for Sayori, but Natsuki remains calm, using her knowledge and expertise to aid her friend.)

Natsuki: (encouragingly) “You’re doing great, Sayori. Just a little longer, and we’ll have these babies safely in your arms.”

Sayori: (gritting her teeth) “Okay, Natsuki. I trust you.”

(Natsuki carefully maneuvers the breech baby into the correct position.)

Natsuki: “Okay, Sayori. I’ve got the first baby in the right position now. Are you ready to push?”

Sayori: (nodding, tears streaming down her face) “Yes, let’s do this.”

(With all her strength, Sayori pushes, her face strained with effort. The room falls into tense silence as the first baby begins to crown. Soon, a cry fills the air as the first twin enters the world.)

Natsuki: (overwhelmed with emotion) “It’s a girl, Sayori! You did it!”

Sayori: (exhausted but elated) “Thank you, Natsuki. Oh, my little girl…”

(As Natsuki hands the first baby to Sayori, the second twin’s arrival becomes imminent. The room buzzes with anticipation.)

Ryū: (wide-eyed) “Aunt Sayori, you’re amazing!”

(Natsuki, now wearing gloves, prepares for the delivery of the second twin.)

Natsuki: “Let’s do this, Sayori. One more push, and we’ll meet your second baby.”

(Sayori takes a deep breath and pushes with all her might. The room grows quiet as the second twin is born, and the air fills with the sound of another cry.)

Natsuki: (teary-eyed) “It’s a boy, Sayori! You have a son too!”

Sayori: (teary-eyed and overwhelmed with joy) “Two beautiful babies… I can’t believe it.”

Natsuki: (smiling through tears) “You did amazing, Sayori. You’re a warrior.”

(Ryū rushes forward, wanting to see his new cousins.)

Ryū: (excitedly) “Wow! They’re so tiny and cute!”

Sayori: (softly) “They’re our little miracles, Ryū.”

(Monika, who has been observing the whole scene, steps forward, her expression filled with awe.)

Monika: (emotionally) “Sayori, you’re incredible. And Natsuki, you…you saved the day.”

Natsuki: (blushing but proud) “I did what I had to do. Sayori and those babies are important to me.”

(Sayori gently cradles her newborns, her heart overflowing with love and happiness. Just then, Yuri enters the room - her 6-year-old quadruplets by her side.)
