Melody squeezes my hand, screaming at the top of her lungs.
"Almost out!"
Kolli's reassuring words seem to urge Melody into one final push.
"It's a girl!"
A shrill scream pierces the air.
"Give me your shirt, Jason."
I don't hesitate since she clearly didn't grab any other cloth.
Kolli uses my shirt to swaddle the baby before she hands the bloody, slimy mass to Melody.
She turns, grabbing something off the desk. Scissors.
Snip.
Melody doesn't give the baby a loving look, just a terrified one.
"Okay, Melody. You need to start pushing again. Looks like baby two is ready to make an entrance."
