(In the clubroom…)

Monika: (cradling Sayori’s newborn daughter - Sky) “There, there, little Sky. Auntie Monika’s here.”

Yuri: (rubbing her massive baby bump) “Jeez…I know I’m 8 months pregnant, but my bump is just…huge.”

Natsuki: “Yuri, have you ever considered an ultrasound? I mean, you’ve never been to a hospital in a while.”

Sayori: “Monika, thanks for taking care of baby Sky. I guess she likes the sound of your voice.”

Monika: “Of course, Sayori! It’s my pleasure to spend time with little Sky. She’s such a precious baby.”

Yuri: “I’ve actually been thinking about getting an ultrasound recently. It might be a good idea to check how the baby’s doing in there.”

Natsuki: “Yuri, that sounds like a responsible thing to do. It’ll give you peace of mind, too.”

Monika: “Yuri, if you need any help finding a good doctor or making an appointment, I’d be more than happy to assist you.”

Sayori: “That’s really sweet of you, Monika. I know we can always count on you for support.”

Yuri: “Thank you, Monika. I appreciate your offer. I’ll definitely take you up on that.”

Monika: “No problem, Yuri. Just let me know whenever you’re ready, and I’ll help you through the process.”

Natsuki: “I’m glad we’re all here for each other. We’ve been through so much together, and it’s important to have this support system.”

Monika: “Absolutely, Natsuki. We’ve become like a little family, and it’s heartwarming to see us always looking out for each other.”

Sayori: “I couldn’t agree more. We’ve all grown so close, and I’m grateful to have you all in my life.”

Yuri: “Me too, Sayori. Our bond is truly special.”

Natsuki: “Well, enough mushy stuff for today. We should focus on taking care of Yuri and making sure baby Sky is comfortable.”

Monika: “You’re right, Natsuki. Let’s make sure both Yuri and Sky have everything they need.”

(In that moment, the clubroom feels warm and filled with love as the friends come together to support each other and the new life that has entered their lives.)

(The next day, at Yuri’s ultrasound…)

Doctor: “Alright, Yuri, let’s get started with your ultrasound. Lie down here and we’ll get a good look at your baby.”

Yuri: (nervously) “Th-thank you, Doctor.”

Monika: (holding Yuri’s hand) “You’re doing great, Yuri. I’m right here with you.”

Natsuki: “We’re all here for you, Yuri. Just relax and let the doctor do their thing.”

Doctor: “Okay, let’s take a look at your little one.” (starts the ultrasound)

Yuri: (watching the screen with anticipation) “Oh wow, that’s…that’s my baby.”

Doctor: “Everything seems to be looking normal and healthy. Would you like to know the gender?”

Yuri: “Yes, please. I’m really curious.”

Doctor: “It seems like you’ll be having a baby boy, Yuri. Congratulations!”

Sayori: “Aww, a baby boy! That’s so exciting!”

Monika: “Congratulations, Yuri. I’m so happy for you and I can’t wait to meet your little one.”

Natsuki: “Your baby boy is going to be so cute, Yuri. I’m sure he’ll inherit your love for books too.”

Yuri: (teary-eyed) “Thank you, everyone. This means the world to me. I can’t wait to welcome our baby boy into the world.”

Doctor: “Wait…I’m picking up a few more heartbeats…”

Yuri: (confused) “More heartbeats? What do you mean?”

(The doctor moves the scanner across Yuri’s baby bump - revealing 5 more babies.)

Doctor: “It seems like you’re actually going to have sextuplets, Yuri! Congratulations!”

Yuri: (completely shocked) “S-sextuplets? Oh my goodness!”

Monika: (wide-eyed) “Sextuplets? That’s…unexpected.”

Natsuki: “Yuri, that’s amazing! You’re going to have a whole basketball team!”

Sayori: (giggling) “Aww, Yuri, that’s going to be quite the adventure!”

Yuri: (overwhelmed) “I…I don’t know what to say. This is…incredible.”

Doctor: “Multiple pregnancies like this can be complex, but we’ll make sure you receive the best care and support. It’s going to be quite a journey for you, Yuri.”

Monika: “Don’t worry, Yuri. We’ll be there for you through it all. We’ll help you prepare and support you every step of the way.”

Natsuki: “Yeah, just think about all the cute baby clothes and accessories we can get for your little ones!”

Sayori: “And we can all take turns babysitting. It’ll be like a big family gathering every time!”

Yuri: (smiling through tears) “Thank you, everyone. I never expected this, but I’m so grateful to have all of you by my side.”

Doctor: “Alright, let’s finish up the ultrasound and then we’ll discuss what the next steps are for your care, Yuri. Congratulations again, and remember, you have a strong support system here.”

(In that moment, even though the unexpected news has shaken Yuri to her core, the love and support from her friends bring her comfort and reassurance. With the six new lives blossoming inside her, Yuri’s journey takes an unforeseen turn, but her friends are there to help her navigate through the excitement and challenges that lie ahead. And as Yuri’s due date approached, her bump grew bigger and bigger - until she looked like she could burst at any minute.)

Yuri: “Oh my goodness, I feel like I’m carrying a whole basketball team in here!”

Monika: “Wow, Yuri, your bump is absolutely massive! You must be so uncomfortable.”

Natsuki: “I can’t believe how much those little ones are growing. You’re a superhero, Yuri!”

Sayori: “Just a little while longer, Yuri. We’re all here for you, cheering you on.”

Yuri: “Thank you, everyone. Your support means the world to me. I couldn’t do this without you.”
