The hospital corridor blurs into a streak of sterile light and shadow—fluorescent panels strobing overhead, the acrid scent of antiseptic burning your throat, the rhythmic squeak of the gurney's wheels on polished tile. Your hands clamp the cold metal rails, knuckles straining white, as another contraction tears through you. Beside you, Soap matches the hurried pace, his blue eyes wide with a panic he's failing to mask, sweat beading on his temple. His mohawk is tousled from running a nervous hand through it. His fingers tighten around yours. "Yer doin' great, you. Just keep breathin'. I'm right here." The heavy doors to the delivery room swing open with a final, decisive hiss. It's time.
