(As I walked to the clubroom, I couldn't believe what happened yesterday. MC, my childhood friend, had died. The news hit me like a ton of bricks. And as I entered the clubroom, I could see Monika and Himari discussing something. Kotonhoa was also there, and was moving a strange pool - it was round and pink. Yuri was there, too - she was filling the pool with warm water. I was confused as to what they were doing, but was even more confused as to where Natsuki was.) Yuri: "And...that should be everything!" Monika: "Great job, Yuri. I'll set up the decorations now." Himari: "I'm so excited for this pool party! It's going to be so much fun!" Kotonoha: "I hope everyone likes my special punch!" (I cleared my throat to let them know I was there.) Sayori: (trying to keep my voice steady) "Hey guys." (They all turned to look at me with sad expressions.) Monika: "Sayori, how are you holding up?" Sayori: "I'm...not doing well. MC's death is still a really hard pill to swallow." Yuri: "We understand, Sayori. We're all grieving. But we thought it might be good to distract ourselves with a pool party." Himari: "Yeah! We'll have food, drinks, music, and swimming! It'll be a blast!" Kotonoha: "And don't forget my special punch! It's delicious!" Sayori: (forcing a smile) "That sounds like a lot of fun. But...I'm not sure I'm in the mood to party." Monika: "We understand, Sayori. But please, try to have some fun. It's what MC would have wanted." Sayori: (nodding slowly) "Yeah...you're right. MC was always the life of the party. He wouldn't want us moping around." Himari: "That's the spirit! Now, let's get this party started!" Yuri: "Hold on. Does anybody else notice a lack of somebody?" Kotonoha: "You're right, Yuri. Where's Natsuki?" Monika: "I haven't seen her all day. Has anyone tried contacting her?" Sayori: "I texted her earlier, but she hasn't replied." Himari: "I hope she's okay." (Just then, Natsuki burst into the room - and immediately got into the pool, putting a hand on her belly. I was thoroughly confused as to why.) Natsuki: (panting) "Sorry guys, I'm late. I just had to take care of something important." Monika: "Natsuki, are you okay? You look exhausted." Natsuki: "I'm fine. Just a little tired." Yuri: "And why are you in the pool already?" Natsuki: (looking down at her belly) "Oh this? I just wanted to cool off. It's been really hot today." Kotonoha: "Natsuki, are you sure you're okay? You seem a bit...different." Natsuki: (smiling) "I'm fine, Kotonoha. Just 39 weeks pregnant, that's all." (Everyone's eyes widen as they realize what Natsuki just said.) Himari: "Oh my gosh, Natsuki! Why didn't you tell us?" Natsuki: "I wanted to surprise you guys. And I was trying to keep it a secret from my dad for as long as possible." Monika: "Wow. This changes things." Yuri: "Yes, we need to make sure Natsuki is comfortable and safe." Kotonoha: "I'll make sure to have non-alcoholic drinks for her." Sayori: "And we should keep an eye on her just in case." Natsuki: "Guys, I'm fine. I've been taking care of myself and the baby. But I appreciate your concern." Himari: "Well, we can't have a pool party without a mom-to-be in attendance! Let's make it a celebration for Natsuki and her baby-" Natsuki: (looking between her legs) "Uh...Monika...?" Monika: "What is it, Natsuki?" Natsuki: "I... think my water just broke." Everyone: (gasps) Himari: "Oh no! We need to get you to a hospital!" Natsuki: "N-N-No...the baby's head's starting to come through. We won't make it in time." Yuri: "Okay, okay. Let's all stay calm. We can do this." Kotonoha: "Yes, we need to deliver the baby here and now." Monika: "I'll call for an ambulance just in case-" Natsuki: "Monika, there's no time for an ambulance! Just focus on helping me push my baby out! H-H-H-His head's stuck!"
