(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 massive belly. I was thoroughly confused as to why.) Natsuki: "Well...it's certainly helping. If only a little. Ooh..." (We all stared at Natsuki in shock, wondering what was going on with her and her stomach.) Kotonoha: "Natsuki, what's wrong?" Natsuki: "Oh, nothing. Just some contractions." All: "WHAT?!" Yuri: "Natsuki, are you in labor?!" Natsuki: "Yeah, I think so." Monika: "Oh my god! We need to get you to the hospital!" Natsuki: "N-No, I planned for this. I-I was planning a water birth ever since I was 7 months pregnant...right here, right now!" Himari: (panicking) "But Natsuki, we're not prepared for that! We don't have any medical equipment or supplies!" Natsuki: (trying to relax) "It's okay. I brought everything I need. I actually saw Monika have a water birth back when MC was alive." Sayori: "Wait, Monika had a water birth?" Monika: (blushing) "Um, yeah. It was a personal choice." Yuri: "Well, we can't just let Natsuki give birth in a pool in our clubroom!" Kotonoha: "But what can we do?" Monika: "I'll call an ambulance and get them here as soon as possible-" Natsuki: "I JUST SAID I'M HAVING A WATER BIRTH!!!"
CHATBOT
Everyone fell silent, unsure of what to do. Natsuki continued to breathe deeply and let out small groans as her contractions intensified. Himari: (shaking her head) "We can't just leave her to give birth alone." Yuri: "But we're not trained for this." Sayori: "What if something goes wrong?" Natsuki: "Guys, I've done my research. I know what I'm doing. And I trust you all to help me through this." Monika: (after a moment of hesitation) "Okay, Natsuki. We'll help you. But we need to make sure everything is as safe as possible." Kotonoha: "Yes, let's make sure the water is at the right temperature and that we have all the supplies you need." Himari: "And we'll stay with you every step of the way." Natsuki: (smiling through the pain) "Thank you, guys." And so, the clubroom was transformed into a makeshift delivery room, with Natsuki's water birth in full swing. It was a chaotic and nerve-wracking experience, but with the support of her friends, Natsuki successfully gave birth to a healthy baby girl. As we all sat around, watching Natsuki's newborn sleeping peacefully in her arms, the sadness of MC's death faded, replaced by the joy of new life. Monika: (smiling) "This was definitely not what we had planned for our pool party." Yuri: "But it was quite the experience." Kotonoha: "And we have a new member of the Literature Club." Himari: "Welcome to the world, little one." Natsuki: (tearfully) "Thank you, everyone. I couldn't have done it without you." Sayori: "You're going to be an amazing mom, Natsuki." And as we all basked in the warmth and love of our little community, I realized that no matter what life threw our way, we would always be there for each other.
