Sara took Mayumi from the room while everyone was getting ready to deliver the baby. "Gabriel, is there anything that we can do?" Edna looked worried and concerned.
"Mother, can you take Kazuki's role and sit next to Suzuka. Amelia, I know that you know the ins and outs of childbirth as well, but you do not have any practice. Can you please assist me?" Gabriel took a few deep breaths. "We can do this." He took Amelia, and the two went and washed their hands. There was no time to change, and they rushed back. Gabriel kneeled then felt for the opening, not showing any fear. "Not quite time, but that is not a bad thing."
The maids were coming back with the requested items, and Gabriel started wiping Suzuka up. Miyuki sat on the other side of Gabriel, handing him new damp clothes. "Is there anything else that you need us to do?"
“When you're pregnant, you can think of nothing but having your own body to yourself again, yet after having given birth you realize that the biggest part of you is now somehow external, subject to all sorts of dangers and disappearance, so you spend the rest of your life trying to figure out how to keep it close enough for comfort. That's the strange thing about being a mother: until you have a baby, you don't even realize how much you were missing one.”
