(In a school high above the Exile’s Reach, 100 years after the still on-going peace treaty between the Alliance and the Horde started…)

Sayori: “Ahh, another nice day at school! I hope everything goes smooth-” (noticing her heavily pregnant void elf friend struggling to walk) “Erodralari? Are you alright?”

Erodralari: (wincing) “Oh, Sayori, I’m fine! Just feeling a bit uncomfortable with this big baby bump. These last few weeks have been quite a challenge.”

Sayori: “Well, you know, you can always ask for help, right? We’re all here for you, especially as your due date approaches.”

Erodralari: (smiling) “I appreciate that, Sayori. You’ve always been a great friend. But you know how stubborn I can be. I don’t want to bother anyone with my troubles.”

Sayori: (playfully nudging her) “Oh, come on now, Erodralari. We’re all in this together, remember? Plus, it’s not every day we get to witness the miracle of new life. We’re excited for you!”

Erodralari: (blushing) “You’re right, Sayori. I should embrace the support and excitement around me. It’s just… with the peace treaty celebrations coming up soon, I don’t want to steal the spotlight from such an important event.”

Sayori: (softly) “Your happiness and well-being matter just as much, Erodralari. Don’t worry about stealing any spotlight. We’ll make sure to celebrate both your baby’s arrival and the peace treaty in equal measure.”

Erodralari: (teary-eyed) “Thank you, Sayori. I needed to hear that. It means a lot to me.”

Sayori: (hugging her gently) “Anytime, friend. We’re here for you, through thick and thin. Now, let’s head to class together. You can lean on me for support if you need it.”

Erodralari: (gratefully) “I don’t know what I’d do without you, Sayori. You’re the best.”

(As the two friends head towards their classroom, the school bustles with activity, filled with students excitedly discussing preparations for both the peace treaty celebrations and Erodralari’s upcoming bundle of joy. In this moment, they realize that no matter the challenges they face, their bond of friendship remains unbreakable. But during class, Erodralari starts feeling uncomfortable - really uncomfortable.)

Erodralari: (whispering to Sayori) “Sayori, I think something might be happening. I’m starting to feel intense pain. It might be time.”

Sayori: (concerned) “Oh no, Erodralari. We should get you to the medics immediately. Come on, let’s go!”

(The two friends quickly rush out of the classroom, leaving behind a puzzled teacher and curious classmates. All the while, Erodralari’s contractions get stronger - a sign her labor is progressing rapidly; and she starts pushing within minutes.)

Erodralari: “Sayori, I don’t think we’re going to make it to the medics in time. The baby is coming!”

Sayori: (panicking) “Oh my goodness, Erodralari! What do we do? We can’t deliver a baby on our own!”

Erodralari: (gritting her teeth) “We…we have to try, Sayori. I can’t hold it in any longer.”

Sayori: (taking a deep breath) “Okay, okay. We can do this. Just breathe, Erodralari. I’ll do my best to guide you through it.”

(With no other options, Sayori and Erodralari find a quiet, secluded spot nearby. Sayori frantically remembers a few things she’s seen in movies and books about childbirth, and starts to assist Erodralari with the delivery.)

Sayori: “Alright, Erodralari, when the next contraction comes, I want you to push with all your might. I’ll do my best to catch the baby.”

Erodralari: (nervously) “Okay, Sayori. I trust you.”

(As the contractions come and go, Sayori does her best to provide comfort and encouragement to her friend. Finally, after what feels like an eternity, the baby’s head starts to emerge.)

Sayori: (excitedly) “Erodralari, I can see the baby’s head! You’re almost there! Just a few more pushes!”

Erodralari: (exhausted but determined) “I can do this. Just a little more.”

(With one final push, the baby slips out into Sayori’s waiting hands. She carefully helps clean the newborn and places them against Erodralari’s chest.)

Sayori: (teary-eyed) “It’s a girl, Erodralari! You did it! You brought new life into this world.”
