(In the clubroom…)

Monika: “Wait a minute…where’s Natsuki?”

Yuri: “I have no idea…”

Sayori: “I hope she arrives soon.” (putting a hand on her baby bump) “…oh no…”

Monika: “Sayori, are you okay?”

Sayori: “I…think…I think my water just broke…”

(Monika and Yuri both gasp in surprise.)

Monika: “Oh my goodness! Sayori, we need to get you to the hospital right away!”

Yuri: “Yes, we can’t waste any time. Let’s call an ambulance immediately!”

(Sayori nods, a mix of excitement and anxiety evident on her face. Monika quickly pulls out her phone and dials the emergency hotline while Yuri rushes to gather some essentials for Sayori.)

(Just then, Natsuki bursts into the room.)

Natsuki: “Hey guys, sorry I’m late! I had some trouble finding my manga… What’s going on?”

(She notices the frantic atmosphere in the room and looks at Sayori, who is breathing heavily and clutching her stomach.)

Sayori: “Natsuki, my water broke! It’s time for the baby!”

Natsuki: (gaping) “Oh my gosh! Are you serious?!”

Monika: “Yes, Natsuki. We need to get Sayori to the hospital right away. Can you help us?”

Natsuki: (nodding) “Of course! Let’s not waste a second. Sayori, can you walk? Or should we carry you?”

Sayori: “I think I can manage…we j-” (going into active labor, and starting to push) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! OH GOD, THE BABY’S COMING!!!”

(Monika and Natsuki both rush to support Sayori, steadying her as best they can.)

Monika: “Natsuki, grab some towels! We need to make sure we’re prepared.”

Natsuki: (nods, quickly grabbing a stack of towels from a nearby closet) “Don’t worry, Sayori. We’re here for you.”

(Yuri, who has been collecting her composure, joins them with a calm and steady demeanor.)

Yuri: “Sayori, try to focus on your breathing. Remember what we learned in our childbirth classes.”

(Sayori nods, gripping Monika’s and Natsuki’s hands tightly as another wave of pain washes over her.)

Sayori: “Okay…okay, I’m trying.”

(Monika stays on the phone with the emergency operator while keeping a close eye on Sayori’s progress.)

Monika: “The baby’s head is crowning. We might have to deliver it here in the clubroom. Please hurry!”

(With each contraction, Sayori’s cries grow louder and the urgency in the room intensifies.)

Natsuki: “Keep pushing, Sayori. You’re doing amazing.”

(Sayori’s breathless voice trembles with determination.)

Sayori: “I…I can…I can do this.”

(Yuri, reassured by Sayori’s strength, takes charge of the situation.)

Yuri: “Natsuki, support Sayori from behind and guide her movements. Monika, get the towels ready.”

(Natsuki positions herself behind Sayori, helping her adjust her posture. Monika lays out the towels on the floor, creating a makeshift birthing area.)

Sayori: (in between breaths) “Guys…thank you.”

(With each push, the room fills with anticipation. Time seems to stand still as everyone focuses on the arrival of the baby.)

Monika: (as the emergency operator gives directions over the phone) “Sayori, when the next contraction comes, push with all your strength.”

(Sayori nods, her determination unwavering, despite the pain.)

Sayori: “I…I love you all.”

(Natsuki and Monika exchange a quick glance, their shared worry and love for Sayori evident.)

Natsuki: “We love you too, Sayori. You’re not alone in this.”

(Suddenly, a sharp cry fills the room. Sayori collapses back, exhausted but with a radiant smile on her face.)

Yuri: “The baby’s here! It’s a boy!”

(Monika hands Yuri a clean towel, and together they wrap the newborn in warmth.)

Yuri: “Sayori, you did it. He’s beautiful.”

Sayori: (teary-eyed) “I…I can’t believe it. I’m actually a mom!”

Natsuki: “You did amazing, Sayori! This little guy is so lucky to have you as his mom.”

Monika: “Congratulations, Sayori. We are so proud of you.”

(Sayori cradles her baby in her arms, overcome with emotions. The clubroom, once filled with panic, is now filled with joy and an overwhelming sense of love.)

Sayori: “Thank you all for being there for me. I couldn’t have done it without you. Now let’s get you all fed, little guy.”

(The girls gather around Sayori and the baby, smiling and feeling a profound sense of unity.)

Natsuki: “Hey, what do you think we should name him?”

Yuri: “How about Jaden? It’s a beautiful name.”

Monika: “I like that. Jaden has a nice ring to it.”

(Sayori looks down at her baby, gently brushing her fingers against his soft cheek.)

Sayori: “Jaden…I love it. Welcome to the world, Jaden. But first, I’ll make sure you’re all fed before we head home. Come on, Jaden…latch on…”
