A Whole New World
Chapter 9
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Cecilia screamed. "You need to breathe, Cecilia," Matt told her. "It just hurts so much!" she whimpered. She was lying on her parent's bed, Simon by her side. "Come on, you can do it," Simon urged. "No I can't. It hurts too much. Aaaaaah!" she moaned. "Come on, you're almost there," Matt told her. "Now push!" "I can't! I can't! It hurts sooooo bad!" she cried. "You need to push, Cecilia," Matt said. "No! I can't! Owwwwwww!" she wailed. "Come on, Cecilia. One more push. Do it for Mia," Simon suggested. "Ready?" Matt asked. "No, but I'll, oooh, push," she panted. "Good," Matt said. "Push!" "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" she screamed. "Good! I can see the head. One or two pushes should do it," Matt told her. "Go!"
"Nooooo! I can't! I'm too tired!" she wailed. "You have to push, Cecilia. It's not good for you or the baby," Matt started to get concerned. "I can't push anymore! It's too hard! I've been pushing for sooooo long," she sobbed. "Cecilia, if you don't start pushing right now your baby might die," Matt told her. "Die?" she asked. "Yes, die. Now push!" Cecilia pushed silently as she squeezed Simon's hand so hard it turned white. "Good! One more! Last push!" Matt said. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Cecilia screamed. "Good, the head is out. Now just breathe," Matt told her. Cecilia did. "It's a girl!" Matt announced. Simon kissed Cecilia. Cecilia's parents clapped. Then Matt and Simon began a very weak rendition of The Mary Tyler Moore Show theme song, to which Cecilia's parents joined in.
"You don't know how glad I am you're here," Cecilia whispered to Mia after they were done. As Mia began to test her lungs (very loudly), Simon called Eric and Annie. "Hi dad," he greeted. "Simon? It's six in the morning!" Eric said. "What's wrong?" "Oh, I just wanted you to hear something," Simon said. He held the phone up to Mia, who was still wailing away. "Who's that? Did... are..." Eric asked. "That's Mia. She wanted to say 'Good morning' to you," Simon smiled. "Mia? That's great! Tell Cecilia congratulations," he said. "OK. We'll come over tomorrow sometime. I have a feeling I'm going to be here all day," Simon said. "I've gotta go." "OK, congratulations," Eric said. "Who was crying?" Annie asked after Eric hung up. "That was Mia," he answered. "Mia? As in...?" she questioned. "That's the one," he responded. "Good for them," she said, covered herself back up, and fell asleep.
