Middle of the night
Mary POV
I wake up with a big pain in my stomach.
I carefully shake Francis awake, because of my back I have to be very careful.
"Francis! Francis!" I say as I shake him.
He finally woke up. "What's wrong?" he asks me, as he gets up and lights a candle.
Suddenly, I hear Francis saying, "Mary! You're water broke!" he screamed. He ran out of the room, while I was screaming in pain. He finally came back with Nostradamus. He turned to a servant and said, "get the midwife!" he says, yelling a little. She nods and leaves the room.
"Ahh! It hurts!" I scream. Francis comes up to me and moves my hair out of my face. "It's going to be okay," he tells me. "How is it going to be okay!?" I scream, in pain. Finally, the midwife comes. "I'm here," she says. "Thank god!" I scream. Suddenly, my ladies come bursting in, with Catherine behind them. They all gather around me, while Francis is behind me. He's holding me from behind, as I lay my head and back against his chest.
After ten minutes of getting me ready, the midwife looked up from the sheet and said, "Now Mary, when I say to push you need to push with all you're strength." she says and I nod.
"Now Push!" she says.
Francis takes my hand and I start to push.
"Ahh!" I scream. Catherine quickly takes my other and I squeeze them.
After four hours, my first baby comes out.
"It's a boy!" she says. "Alexei."
She hands him to a nurse and they take him to one of the five small tubs for the Quints.
"Now push Mary," she says, I push for an hour till another baby comes.
"It's a girl!" she says. "Ava." She hands Ava to another nurse,
"Now Mary push," she says. I push for thirty minutes until the baby comes.
"It's another Girl," she says. "Annalise," I say. She hands her to another nurse.
"Mary push," she says. I push and push until another comes out.
"It's a girl," she says, as she hands the baby to a nurse. "Anna."
I'm so exhausted. I can't do it anymore.
Now, last time Mary," she tells me.
"No, no. I can't. I can't, Francis!" I say, crying. Francis takes my chin and lifts it, so I look directly into his eyes. "Yes, you can Mary," he tells me. "No, I can't!" I scream, sobbing. "Yes, you can," Francis said. I just nod and begin to push again.
Finally, after five more hours of pushing, I give birth.
"It's a girl!" she says.
"Amelia!" I say, still sobbing. I start gasping for air.
"Mary, are you alright?" Francis asks me.
I nod.
"Can I hold her?" I ask and he nods.
The midwife comes over with Amelia.
I hold her in my arms.
