"C'mon, Anne. Just one last push" The midwife encouraged."I swear Jay, you say that one more time and I aagh! Mmmm!" Anne started complaining before being interrupted by another contraction.
She pushed once more, letting out an animalistic sound. She fisted the sheets under her and struggled not to fall to her knees as her legs shook at the intense pressure.
Suddenly, the pressure disappeared and a high pitched cry filled the room.
"That's it! You've got a healthy little boy" The midwife congratulated placing the baby on Anne's naked chest after a nurse helped her lay in bed to proceed with the afterbirth.
"Oh, Harry... I love you, so so much" Anne sobbed with a smile.

Three years later (3 years old)"Mommy!" A three year old Harry squealed when he saw her mum between the mass of parents waiting for their sons after their first day at school.
He walked in her direction as the other kids rushed past him. He stumbled on a slightly protruding tile and falling in his mum's arms.
"Oops! My clumsy baby" Anne smiled as she picked him up on her hip, walking away.
"I no baby. I big boy" He giggled as his mum wiped a bit of drol from his chin.
"Okay, okay. What did my clumsy big boy do at school? Did you play on the slide with the other kids?" His mum asked.

"Oh! That's fun. You have a kitchen set at school too?" Anne nodded, showing interest, already knowing his son preferred less physical activities.
Harry nodded his head and let it rest on his mum's shoulder, falling asleep before reaching the car.
