(In the clubroom…)

Natsuki: (already fuming) “GAH! How come she hasn’t shown up yet?!”

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

Sayori: (entering the clubroom) “Who are you two waiting for?”

Natsuki: “We’re waiting for Yuri. She’s supposed to be here by now!”

Monika: “Yeah, she’s running a bit late today. We were just wondering where she might be.”

Sayori: “Oh, don’t worry about it! Maybe she got caught up in something and lost track of time.”

Natsuki: (crossing her arms) “Well, she should have let us know if she was going to be late. It’s rude.”

Sayori: (gently) “Maybe there’s a reason she couldn’t inform us. Let’s give her the benefit of the doubt.”

Monika: (nodding) “Sayori’s right. We should be understanding and not jump to conclusions.”

Natsuki: (mumbling) “Fine, fine. But this better not become a habit.”

(Just as they finish their conversation, the door to the clubroom opens and Yuri steps in, heavily pregnant with her first child.)

Yuri: (breathing heavily) “I-I’m sorry for being late. I…I didn’t anticipate how difficult it would be to move around at this stage.”

Sayori: (rushes over) “Yuri, are you okay? You shouldn’t have pushed yourself too hard, especially in your condition!”

Natsuki: “Yeah, seriously. You should have asked for help or something. We’re your friends, we would have been there for you.”

Yuri: (smiling weakly) “I…I apologize for not reaching out. I didn’t want to bother anyone.” (her labor pains suddenly start) “OWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!”

Sayori: “Yuri! Are you okay?!”

Monika: (panicking) “What’s going on, Yuri?!”

(Natsuki and Sayori quickly rush to Yuri’s side, offering support as her labor pains continue.)

Yuri: (gritting her teeth) “I think…I think the baby is coming…”

Natsuki: (frantically) “What do we do?! We need to get her to a hospital!”

Yuri: “There’s no time! I’m about to enter the pushing phase!”

Monika: (frantically searching for a solution) “Wait! I remember reading about emergency deliveries in cases like this. We can do it here!”

Sayori: (nervously) “Are you sure? We should at least call an ambulance!”

Yuri: (gritting her teeth) “No…no time! Just…help me!”

Natsuki: (taking charge) “Alright, Yuri, we got this. Sayori, quickly grab some clean towels and warm water. Monika, try to keep calm and guide us through the process.”

(With everyone working together, they create a makeshift delivery area in the clubroom. Monika guides Natsuki and Sayori through each step, trying her best to recall what she had read.)

Monika: “Okay, Yuri, when your next contraction comes, start pushing. Remember to take deep breaths in between.”

Yuri: (focused and determined) “I-I can do this…”

(With each contraction, Yuri pushes as her friends provide her with constant support and encouragement. The room is filled with a mix of tension and determination.)

Natsuki: “Come on, Yuri! Keep pushing! You’re doing great!”

Sayori: “You’re almost there, Yuri! Just a little bit more!”

(And after what feels like an eternity, the sound of a baby’s cry fills the room. Yuri collapses back against the pillows as tears of relief and joy stream down her face.)

Yuri: (whispering) “She…she’s here…”

Monika: (overwhelmed with emotion) “You did it, Yuri. You were amazing.”

(They clean up the makeshift delivery area and wrap the baby in a bundle of warm towels.)

Natsuki: (teary-eyed) “She’s…she’s beautiful, Yuri.”

Yuri: (smiling tiredly) “Thank you, everyone. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

Sayori: “We’re always here for you, Yuri. As your friends, we’ll support you through everything.”

Yuri: (feeling more pain in her belly) “Ahh…!”

Monika: “Yuri, are you okay? Is there something wrong?”

Yuri: (breathing heavily) “I…I think there might be another one…” (she feels the need to push again) “OWWWWWWWWW!!! Yep, there’s definitely another one coming!”

Natsuki: “What? Another one? Yuri, you’re having twins?!”

Sayori: “Oh my gosh! That’s incredible!”

Monika: “Okay, we can do this. Let’s prepare for the second delivery.”

(They quickly set up another makeshift delivery area, their experience from the first delivery helping them work more efficiently.)

Monika: “Yuri, remember to take deep breaths and push when the next contraction comes.”

Yuri: (determined) “I can do this… I’ve done it once, I can do it again.”

(Once again, they go through the intense process of labor, supporting Yuri every step of the way. And soon enough, another cry fills the room, signaling the arrival of the second baby.)

Natsuki: (in awe) “We did it! Two beautiful babies!”

Sayori: “They’re so tiny and adorable!”

Yuri: (exhausted but filled with joy) “Thank you, everyone…I couldn’t have asked for better friends. Thanks to you, my daughter and my son have entered the world.”
