บท 65: AT THE ONSET OF LABOR

Emily sat in the living room, lost in thought, reflecting on the past few months. Her pregnancy was now at nine months, and she was eagerly awaiting the arrival of her baby. She had continued working until her seventh month, but then decided to stay at home and prepare for motherhood.
