(As I entered the clubroom, I could hear Sayori and Natsuki discussing something - while Ayano, Himari, Kotonhoa, and Charloette were setting up different things, like an emerald green pool and other decorations. Strangely, Monika - our club president - wasn’t there.)

Kotonhoa: “Okay, that’s everything. I think this will be great!”

(I walked to see what they were doing.)

Natsuki: “Oh! Hey, Yuri! Is everything okay?”

Sayori: “We were just thinking of some ideas for our next club activity!”

Yuri: “Ah, I see. What ideas do you have in mind?”

Ayano: “We’re thinking of having a pool party! We got this emerald green pool here to set up.”

Himari: “And we got some snacks and drinks ready too!”

Charloette: “And some decorations to make it look festive.”

Yuri: “That sounds like a great idea! When are we planning to have this pool party?”

Sayori: “We were thinking of having it this weekend! What do you think, Yuri?”

Yuri: “That sounds perfect. I’ll make sure to bring some snacks too.”

Natsuki: “Great! I can’t wait to see you in a swimsuit, Yuri.”

(I blushed at Natsuki’s comment.)

Yuri: “Um, Natsuki, please don’t tease me like that.”

Sayori: “Oh, come on, Yuri! Don’t be shy. We’re all friends here.”

Kotonhoa: “Yeah, it’ll be fun! You’ll see.”

(Hearing their encouragement, I couldn’t help but smile.)

Yuri: “Okay, I’ll try to be a good sport about it.”

Charloette: “That’s the spirit! We’re gonna have so much fun!”

(As everyone continued to chat and prepare for the pool party, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to be part of such a wonderful club and have such supportive friends. Just then, we all heard a knock on the door.)

Sayori: “I’ll get it!”

(Sayori went to the door and opened it, revealing Monika standing outside - but her belly was strangely swollen.)

Monika: “Hey everyone, sorry I’m late.”

Sayori: “Monika! We were wondering where you were.”

Monika: “Sorry about that. I had some last-minute club business to take care of.”

Natsuki: “So, are you ready for the pool party this weekend?”

Monika: “Pool party? What pool party?”

Ayano: “We were just talking about having a pool party this weekend, Monika.”

Himari: “We already got everything prepared.”

Charloette: “And we invited other classmates too.”

Monika: “I’m sorry, but I didn’t know anything about this- OW! Ow, ow, ow!”

(As Monika spoke, she suddenly clutched her belly and winced in pain. I started to feel worried about her.)

Yuri: “Monika, are you okay? You’re clutching your belly.”

Monika: “I…I don’t know. I’ve been feeling strange all day. It’s like something is pushing against my stomach- AHH!”

(I watched in shock as Monika doubled over in pain.)

Monika: “I-I-I think something’s wrong! I’ve never had this much pain before-”

(Suddenly, we all saw a small puddle of water form between Monika’s legs.)

Monika: “Oh my god…this can’t be happening now!”

(Sayori rushed to Monika’s side while the rest of us stood by in shock.)

Sayori: “Monika, what’s wrong?!”

(We all waited Monika’s response while she screamed in pain - but the response wasn’t what we expected.)

Monika: “I think…I think I’m going into labor.”

(My jaw dropped at Monika’s announcement. None of us were prepared for this.)

Natsuki: “Labor?! But…how?!”

Ayano: “She must have been pregnant this whole time.”

Himari: “We need to get her to a hospital!”

Charloette: “Monika, should I call an ambulance?”

Monika: “N-N-N-No…it’s too late for me to go to a hospital. I need to start pushing…like, right now!”

Sayori: “Oh my god, okay! We need to get you somewhere safe.”

(Sayori and Himari helped Monika to a nearby couch and laid her down as gently as possible. I stood there frozen in shock, not knowing what to do.)

Natsuki: “Yuri, can you call an ambulance anyways? Just in case…”

(I knew that Natsuki desperately needed me to call an ambulance, but they’re not going to make it in time. I knew I had to trust Monika, and help her give birth.)

Yuri: “No, there’s no time for that. We need to help Monika give birth right here and now.”

Ayano: “B-but we don’t know how to deliver a baby!”

Yuri: “I’ve read about it before. We can do this if we work together and follow my lead.”

(I took a deep breath and approached Monika. She looked terrified, but also determined.)

Yuri: “Monika, I’m going to guide you through this. First, take deep breaths and push when you feel a contraction.”

(Monika nodded, and I could see the pain etched on her face.)

Yuri: “Okay, I can see the baby’s head. Keep pushing, Monika.”

(Sayori and Himari held Monika’s hands and encouraged her, while Kotonhoa and Charloette helped clean up the area and get blankets ready.)

Yuri: “Okay, the head is out. One more big push, Monika.”

(I felt my heart racing as I watched Monika push with all her might. Suddenly, a tiny baby’s cry filled the room.)

Yuri: “We did it! Congratulations, Monika, it’s a beautiful baby!”

(As Monika held her newborn in her arms, tears streamed down her face. The rest of us stood in shock, but also filled with joy and awe.)

Sayori: “Oh my goodness, Monika, you’re a mom now!”

Himari: “This is incredible! You did such a good job, Monika.”

Natsuki: “She really did. We helped deliver a baby!”

Ayano: “I can’t believe we just witnessed this. It’s a miracle.”

Charloette: “I’m so happy for you, Monika.”

Kotonhoa: “Congratulations on your new bundle of joy!”

(Monika looked around at all of us, still in disbelief. But then, she smiled.)

Monika: “Thank you…thank you all so much. I couldn’t have done this without you.”

(As we all basked in the afterglow of a successful delivery, I felt so grateful to have such a wonderful and supportive club. But as Ayano prepared to cut the umbilical cord of Monika’s son, her eyes widened as she looked in-between Monika’s legs.)

Ayano: “Uh…guys, we have another one.”

(We all turned to Ayano in confusion, but then we all saw it - a second baby was coming!)

Natsuki: “Another one?! Are you kidding me?!”

Sayori: “What do we do?!”

Himari: “We have to help Monika deliver the second baby too!”

Charloette: “But how are we going to do that?!”

Kotonhoa: “We can’t just leave her here like this!”

(I took charge, feeling more confident now that they’ve done it before.)

Yuri: “We can do this. Let’s get ready for another round, everyone.”

(Monika looked scared, but she knew what to do. With the help of us, she pushed and pushed until the second baby was born - a beautiful girl. We were all in shock - an hour after Odogaron was born, his sister Legiana entered the world.)
