(As I entered the clubroom, I could hear Sayori and Natsuki discussing something - while Ayano, Himari, Kotonhoa, and Charloette were setting up different things, like an emerald green pool and other decorations. Strangely, Monika - our club president - wasn’t there.)

Kotonhoa: “Okay, that’s everything. I think this will be great!”

(I walked to see what they were doing.)

Natsuki: “Oh! Hey, Yuri! Is everything okay?”

Sayori: “We were just thinking of some ideas for our next club activity!”

Yuri: “Ah, I see. What ideas do you have in mind?”

Ayano: “We’re thinking of having a pool party! We got this emerald green pool here to set up.”

Himari: “And we got some snacks and drinks ready too!”

Charloette: “And some decorations to make it look festive.”

Yuri: “That sounds like a great idea! When are we planning to have this pool party?”

Sayori: “We were thinking of having it this weekend! What do you think, Yuri?”

Yuri: “That sounds perfect. I’ll make sure to bring some snacks too.”

Natsuki: “Great! I can’t wait to see you in a swimsuit, Yuri.”

(I blushed at Natsuki’s comment.)

Yuri: “Um, Natsuki, please don’t tease me like that.”

Sayori: “Oh, come on, Yuri! Don’t be shy. We’re all friends here.”

Kotonhoa: “Yeah, it’ll be fun! You’ll see.”

(Hearing their encouragement, I couldn’t help but smile.)

Yuri: “Okay, I’ll try to be a good sport about it.”

Charloette: “That’s the spirit! We’re gonna have so much fun!”

(As everyone continued to chat and prepare for the pool party, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to be part of such a wonderful club and have such supportive friends. Just then, we all heard a knock on the door.)

Sayori: “I’ll get it!”

(Sayori went to the door and opened it, revealing Monika standing outside - but her belly was strangely swollen.)

Monika: “Hey everyone, sorry I’m late.”

Sayori: “Monika! We were wondering where you were.”

Monika: “Sorry about that. I had some last-minute club business to take care of.”

Natsuki: “So, are you ready for the pool party this weekend?”

Monika: “Pool party? What pool party?”

Ayano: “We were just talking about having a pool party this weekend, Monika.”

Himari: “We already got everything prepared.”

Charloette: “And we invited other classmates too.”

Monika: “I’m sorry, but I didn’t know anything about this- OW! Ow, ow, ow!”

(As Monika spoke, she suddenly clutched her belly and winced in pain. I started to feel worried about her.)

Yuri: “Monika, are you okay? You’re clutching your belly.”

Monika: “I…I don’t know. I’ve been feeling strange all day. It’s like something is pushing against my stomach- AHH!”

(I watched in shock as Monika doubled over in pain.)

Monika: “T-This can’t be happening! It’s too early!”

Ayano: “Too early? What do you mean, Monika?”

Monika: “I… I think I’m going into labor!”

(Everyone gasped in shock.)

Sayori: “L-Labor? But Monika, you’re not even married!”

Monika: “I know, I know! But my water just broke and I’m pretty sure the baby is coming out right now! A-And it’s coming out extremely fast! I think I’m already in the final stages of labor!”

Ayano: “Wait…you’re in the FINAL stages of labor?! Does that mean we won’t make it to a hospital in time?!”

Monika: “I’m afraid so. We need to act fast and help deliver this baby.”

Himari: “B-But none of us know how to deliver a baby!”

Natsuki: “This is insane! What are we supposed to do?!”

Sayori: “I-I’ll call an ambulance!”

Yuri: “No, there’s no time. We need to deliver this baby NOW. Monika, do you have any towels or blankets?”

Monika: “Y-Yeah, they’re in the closet over there.”

Yuri: “Everyone, grab a towel or blanket and let’s make a bed for Monika. We need to get her lying down and comfortable.”

(As we scrambled to grab towels and blankets, Monika slowly made her way to the closet and retrieved some more supplies. She then made her way back to us, her breathing heavy and labored.)

Monika: “I-I can feel the baby coming. It’s really close.”

Charloette: “Okay, okay. Yuri, what do we do now?”

Yuri: “First, we need to make sure Monika is in a good position. We’ll have her lie on her back with her knees bent, and we’ll prop her up with some pillows so she’s comfortable.”

(We quickly set up a makeshift bed for Monika and helped her lie down.)

Yuri: “Next, we need to make sure she’s well lubricated. Ayano, can you grab some olive oil?”

Ayano: “R-Right. Olive oil. Got it.”

(Ayano rushed to the kitchen and retrieved some olive oil, then quickly brought it back to Yuri.)

Yuri: “Great. Now, we gently apply some of this to Monika’s…er, you know.”

Natsuki: “Are you serious?! We’re really doing this?!”

Yuri: “Yes, Natsuki. This is serious. We need to help deliver Monika’s baby.”

(Natsuki grumbled but complied, and we all worked together to help deliver Monika’s baby. It was a difficult process, but with each passing moment, we came closer and closer to success.)

Monika: “AAAAAHHHHHH! I can feel the baby coming! It’s almost there!”

Ayano: “Okay, Monika. Just one last push!“
