Harry sat behind Cherisse on the couch so that she reclined on him. Sonia was busy removing Cherisse’s underwear. Ken, who was quite queasy in these kinds of situations—he’d fainted when Sonia had given birth—retreated to the kitchen to wait with Miss Jo and Danielle.
Sonia was squatting at the foot of the couch with a bird’s-eye-view of the crowning of one of the twins’ heads while Harry was holding Cherisse, and whispering, “It’s gonna be all right,” over and over again.
“It won’t be long now,” Sonia cried. “When I tell you, I want you to push, sis, but not too hard, okay?”
Cherisse let out a groan. “Okay!”
“Push,” said Sonia.
The baby’s head emerged and soon the body followed. Sonia held the little boy in her arms with his head pointed downward. The baby began to cry and Cherisse breathed a deep sigh of relief. He was okay!
Sonia promptly placed the baby on her chest and went back to her post at the foot of the couch. The other baby’s head was crowning.
Sonia counted silently, wanting to be able to say how many seconds or minutes the twins had been born apart.
Eighty counts later, she cried to Cherisse, “Push!”
Cherisse pushed and soon another little boy came into the world bawling. Sonia also placed this child in his mother’s arms. Harry was holding all three of them with a thankful smile on his face.
He had two sons, both healthy, both with strong lungs and all their limbs, and his beautiful wife worn out but very much alive, in his arms.
Life was good.
