"Just watch and learn. There will likely be another opportunity in the future to help deliver a baby."
Her thoughts were back in the my consciousness, "Maybe it will be ours."
I blinked and glanced at her abruptly. Darn, I hadn't even gotten the chance to kiss her yet and she was already talking about having my babies!
"I was sort of figuring on keeping you to myself for a while." I admitted honestly to which she just smiled.
I refocused on Lisa and spoke out loud, "Lisa soon you'll feel the urge to push and that's okay. You push as hard as you want to."
"I'm definitely feeling that urge right now!"
"Okay let's get you into a better position then. Giving birth flat on your back is the worst and hardest position to ever try to give birth in."
"What! I've had two babies and the doctors never told me that!"
"That's because modern doctors like to be sitting comfortablely on a stool ready to involve themselves in the process of childbirth needlessly, because they see the presence of themselves as more important to the process than anything else, when in reality what really would be for the best was if the female body was allowed to do what it was perfectly created to do."
"You're doing all my deliveries from now on Elon! So help me I'm going to murder those doctors!"
"Lisa put that emotion into accomplishing something and push!"
Ten minutes later a strapping boy was born, and thirty five minutes later a little girl came out just as healthy. Lisa was very proud and held both of them in her arms overcome with emotion.
Looking up to her husband she said, "Elon James and Maria Candace?"
Both Zora and I started to object, but Flint said, "It's done." And that was that.
I slipped away when it was safe to, leaving mother and father alone to appreciate the new life that had been born into the world this day. I felt like I was about to pass out because I was so tired.

Zora watched Elon go and started to follow, but Lisa caught her hand. Zora looked down to see Lisa blushing, "I'm sorry about what I said earlier! It was terribly crude of me."
Zora smiled and shrugged before leaning closer and whispering so as not to wake the babies or for Flint to hear, "It was close enough to the truth anyway most likely."
Lisa chuckled knowingly before her face went suddenly serious, "You're a very lucky girl Maria to have him."
Zora glanced back the way Elon had just gone, "That is being made very clear to me."
