"Almost there, push!"
"Push!"
"Ugh…!"
Lola breathed in and out as she tried to push the baby out. She clutched Atlas's hand as tightly as she could, beads of sweat forming on her forehead and across her entire body.
"It's almost there!" said the doctor, but Lola could only curse him in her mind. He had been saying that for minutes now, but until now, the baby was still not there.
"You can do it."
Atlas breathed out, his complexion even paler than before, so a nurse had to approach him. He appeared as if he were about to press his power-off button.
Finally, Atlas understood why Zoren had fainted when Penny gave birth. Watching his wife push the baby out was a traumatizing sight.
She looked to be in unbearable pain, and he would never forget it for the rest of his life… or the doctors who recommended this "painless" procedure.
It didn't look painless at all!
