Event: Avalon's birth
Roni's p.o.v (as a 27 year old woman that is 7 months pregnant)
My stomach hurts terribly. The contractions grow more intense with each passing second.
My discomfort signals the baby's impending arrival. Although I want to keep the baby inside
of my body, I can't postpone the birth much longer. Doctor Wallace and his team of nurses are on
high alert. My thirty nine year old husband supports me through the difficult delivery of our
premature baby. Our daughter is born with a rare type of heart condition. We love Avalon and care
for her no matter what.
