“contractions and birth”

Crying and begging did nothing to swerve the scared midwife's heart, instead, she gave them directions to go meet another.

Marie stood sobbing on the dark freeway not knowing what to do next. The little girl had blacked out after trekking for an additional fifty minutes towards the new midwife's residence. They were yet to reach their destination but Nellie had given up and wasn't responding to any of her wake up calls.

“Please Nellie, wake up! You can't give up now. Please do it for your baby...please love, wake up!” Marie cried as she held the non-responding girl in her arms. “Help!” Standing to her feet, Marie screamed into the cold air of darkness, and as expected, nobody responded. Defeated, she crumbled helplessly back on the dirty ground.
