I stood silently in the back
Waiting for her to appear
There was screaming
uneasy glances thrown around
Tension filled the room
then silence
As everyone stood as one
Shifting foot to foot
And then a cry pierced the air
One never heard before
Everyone relaxed
It was over
There was shuffling
And mutters
Then doctors parted
and a woman
With sweat along her face looked up
and smiled
Holding a bundle close
