Time Period: A Flashback

Place: Anne's Bed chamber

Situation: Nathaniel's traumatic birth

Anne (exhausted, she collapses back on her pillow): AH..

The midwife (applying pressure on Anne's stomach): Your majesty, you must keep pushing

Anne: I am trying, but nothing is working

The midwife: You can rest then

Anne (trying to sleep between contractions): I have to push again

The midwife: Ok

Anne (crying and screaming as she pushes again): AHA..AHA..AHA..AHA

The midwife (notices a complication): Your majesty, please stop pushing!

Anne (worried): Why?!

The midwife: The baby's head is wedged tight in your collarbone. I think the shoulders just snapped. You are starting to bleed heavily.

Anne (in full blown panic mode): I must get him out!

The midwife (inserting random instruments into Anne): This is going to hurt a lot

Anne (screaming bloody murder): AHA..AHA..AHA..AHA..AHA

The midwife (gives Anne the baby whose face is covered by a blanket): You have a son at last

Anne (uncovering the baby's face, she gasps in horror): OH MY GOD

A maidservant: Your majesty, your son is alive but deformed. Should I tell the king?

Anne (holding the baby close to her heart): His name is Nathaniel. You can tell the king that his son has arrived.
