(In the clubroom…)

Yuri: (in the midst of labor) “OWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! Why isn’t she here to help me?!”

Monika: “She’s probably just running late…”

Sayori: (rushing into the clubroom) “Who are you two waiting for? And Yuri, why are you screaming?”

Yuri: (wincing in pain) “I…I’m in labor, Sayori. I’ve been waiting for Natsuki to come, but she’s not here yet.”

Sayori: (surprised) “Wha…labor?! Yuri, why didn’t you tell us you were expecting?”

Monika: (supportive) “She probably wanted to keep it private, Sayori. Let’s focus on getting her some help now.”

Sayori: (panicked) “Oh no, we need to get you to the hospital! Can you walk, Yuri?”

Yuri: (gritting her teeth) “N…no, I can’t walk. The contractions are too painful…and there’s no time to get me to a hospital.”

(Eventually, Natsuki arrives.)

Natsuki: (catching her breath) “I’m so sorry I’m late, Yuri! Are you alright?”

Yuri: (relieved) “Natsuki…thank goodness you’re here. I…I need help. The contractions are getting stronger-” (she feels her baby making it’s way down the birth canal) “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! IT’S COMING!!!”

Natsuki: (frantically) “Oh my god! Okay, okay, stay calm, Yuri. Let’s get you on the floor. Monika, Sayori, help me!”

(Monika and Sayori rush to assist Natsuki in helping Yuri down to the floor. They quickly clear some space and gather towels and other supplies to make Yuri as comfortable as possible.)

Sayori: (placing a towel under Yuri’s hips) “Alright, Yuri, breathe. Just breathe. You’re doing amazing, okay? We’re here with you.”

Monika: (holding Yuri’s hand) “Remember to take deep breaths, Yuri. In and out. We’re right here by your side.”

(With Natsuki taking the lead, the girls do their best to guide Yuri through each contraction. They support her and provide reassurance as she continues to labor.)

Yuri: (gritting her teeth) “I-I can’t believe this is happening…thank you, everyone, for being here. I couldn’t do this alone…”

Natsuki: (stroking Yuri’s hair) “You’re not alone, Yuri. We’re here for you. Just a little longer now, okay? You’re doing amazing.”

(As the contractions intensify, Yuri’s face contorts with pain. The girls continue to support her, providing comfort and encouragement.)

Monika: (gently wiping Yuri’s sweat-drenched forehead) “You’re almost there, Yuri. Just a few more pushes.”

Yuri: (taking a deep breath) “I can do this…I can do this for my baby…”

(Natsuki takes a deep breath and guides Yuri through the pushing phase.)

Natsuki: “Alright, Yuri, when the next contraction comes, I want you to push with all your strength, okay? You’re doing great.”

(Yuri nods, her face determined.)

Yuri: “Okay…I can do this.”

(As another contraction hits, Yuri pushes with all her might, her face straining with effort. The girls rally around her, giving her the encouragement she needs.)

Sayori: “You’re doing amazing, Yuri! Keep pushing, you’re almost there!”

Monika: “Just a little more, Yuri! You’re doing so well, I’m so proud of you!”

(Yuri takes one final deep breath and pushes with every ounce of strength she has left. And then, the room is filled with the sound of a baby’s cries.)

Natsuki: (overwhelmed with emotion) “Yuri…you did it! It’s a beautiful baby boy!”

Yuri: (tears streaming down her face) “He’s…he’s here. My baby…my son.”

(Sayori and Monika exchange emotional looks, their eyes welling up with tears of happiness.)

Monika: “Congratulations, Yuri. You did an incredible job. We’re all so proud of you.”

Sayori: (sniffling) “He’s perfect. Just perfect. Welcome to the world, little one.”

(Natsuki gently wraps the newborn in a soft blanket and places him in Yuri’s arms. Yuri cradles her son, overwhelmed with love and joy.)

Yuri: (whispering) “Hello, my sweet baby. I can’t believe you’re finally here. Mommy loves you so much.”

(As the club members surround Yuri and her baby, the room fills with a sense of warmth and happiness. They exchange hugs and congratulatory words, cherishing this special moment together.)

Monika: “Yuri, you may have kept this journey private, but you’ve shown us the strength and resilience within you. You’re an amazing mother, and we’re honored to be by your side.”

Sayori: “We’ll always be here for you and your little one, Yuri. We’re like a family, and we’ll support each other no matter what.”

Yuri: (smiling through tears) “Thank you…thank you everyone. I couldn’t have asked for a more incredible support system. I’m so grateful to have you all in my life.”

(With their friend and her newborn son in their arms, the club members bask in the afterglow of this miraculous moment. This is a bond that will forever unite them, a testament to the power of friendship and love.)

(7 years later, and Yuri’s son - Amatsu - is going to be a big brother soon.)
