YN is driving back to the ranch with Coco and Velvet when he gets a call.

YN: Coco, can you answer the phone please.

Coco: Sure (picks up phone) YN's phone, who is this?

Glynda: It's Glynda, can you put me on speaker?

Coco: Sure.

Glynda: YN, umm, I don't want to startle you, but my water just broke.

YN: Stay calm, I'll be there shortly!

YN then steps on the gas and the car hurtles down the road to the ranch. A few minutes later YN bursts through the door and rushes to Glynda's side.

YN: I am here darling, what do you need of me?

Glynda: Help me with this damn pain and get me a doctor!

YN: Coco, go into my office, below the case of fire arms there is my medical bag and some medicine, go and get them. Velvet, help me get Glynda to the bed.

Coco runs off and the two help Glynda to the bed.

Glynda: What about the fucking doctor.

YN: I am a doctor, I know what I'm doing, and I do hope that you'll swear less when our son is born.

Glynda: Stares angrily at YN.

It is at this point that Glynda lies down in the bed and Coco returns with the medical gear.

YN: Coco, go call a doctor, I might need assistance with this.

Glynda: There is no time, HE'S COMING NOW!

YN: (puts on a doctor's coat) alright, Coco, go get a basin of warm water, Velvet, you are going to help me deliver my son.

Velvet: But, I, I don't know what to do?

YN: Follow my instruction and everything should be fine.

Glynda: SHOULD BE?!

YN: Will be.

Glynda then screams and YN notices the head of his son poking out from . . . Well . . . That part of the female anatomy.

YN: Well, I see his head.

Glynda: OH FUCKING WONDERFUL!

YN: The first words our son hears of his mother is that, how crass.

Glynda then hits YN in the stomach.

YN: Fair enough, I deserved that. But now, squeeze, and Velvet, gently pull out the child if you'd be so kind.

Velvet then goes to attend to the child and YN continues to comfort Glynda.

YN: One more push and our child will be out.

Glynda screams and pushes, and a child was brought into the world.

YN: Velvet, pass me a scissor, a knife or something.

Velvet: I can't find anything, oh wait, I've got something!

Velvet gets it down from off the wall and passes something to YN and he uses it to cut the umbilical cord and he then realizes what it was once it was done.

YN: Huh, an officer's saber, a good omen.

Glynda: You cut my son's umbilical cord with your saber?

YN: I did indeed. What shall we name him?

Glynda: I was hoping you'd have an idea.

YN: I can't think of one at the moment, I'm too overjoyed.

Velvet: Michael.

Glynda: Pardon?

YN: Hm?

Velvet: It was inscribed on the saber.

YN hands the child to Glynda and picks up the saber.

YN: A Michael Gordon blade, they made absolutely wonderful blades!

Glynda: Michael Goodwitch LN, it is a good name.

YN: I agree, Velvet, thank you for helping us name our son!

Glynda then pulls on YN's sleeve and whispers something in his ear.

YN: What a wonderful idea.

Glynda: As thanks for your help today, we'd like to invite you to be Michael's God mother.

Velvet: I'd be honored.

At this point Coco bursts in with a washbasin full of warm water.

Coco: What did I miss?



Sorry about it being a shorter chapter, but I couldn't think of anything else to write that would keep it as pleasant and concise as it was. Anyhow, thanks for reading and commenting, and have a wonderful day!
