Roni's p.o.v

I am giving birth two months early. Even during my time of great travail, the fetal heartbeat gives me hope. "I can't breathe. My asthma is kicking up again" I hyperventilate. "My wife has asthma. Please help her" my husband stresses. A kind nurse puts a breathing mask on me. I rest and relax briefly between contractions. "Just a few more pushes, Roni. You can do this" Dr. Wallace motivates me. My husband's encouraging words gives me extra strength.


Time Period: A Flashback-An Alternate Universe

Location: Fairytale Land- Avalon

Place: A bedroom inside Regina and Rumple's cottage

Situation: Avalon's difficult homebirth that is happening two months early

Regina's p.o.v (struggling to give birth)

It is tiresome to wait for contractions to come. They help me to push out my baby. Avalon refuses to emerge from my womb. I release my stress through crying and screaming. Occasionally, I would hold and squeeze Rumple's hand. Rumple understands that I am in a lot of pain. "Something is wrong. I can't do this. I will not do this" I complain."You and Avalon can die if you do not deliver soon. Please do not deprive her of this life" he pleads with me. Although I want to quit, I can't let our baby or myself die. Yet again, I press my legs against my chest. I bear down and push really hard with the contractions. My husband and birthing coach cups his hand around baby's crowing head. "OUCH! It hurts. I am experiencing a burning ring of fire. I am bleeding and probably tearing" I yell.
