Show notes

EP99. Contractions come on quick. The couple rushes to the hospital. They are admitted right away. A few uncomfortable contraction later and she is pushing. After 3-5 screams, the baby pops out and the doctor puts them on the mother's chest. She starts sobbing. Cut to the scene where they are happily walking out of the hospital with their new baby.
