"Push, Mrs. Linwood, push! I can see the baby's head!"

The woman lying on the delivery table gritted her teeth and pushed, following the doctor's instructions.

A moment later, the sharp cry of a newborn filled the room-it was over. The baby had arrived.

"It's a girl! Congratulations, Mrs. Linwood. You have a beautiful daughter," the nurse announced, beaming.

"Let me see her. Please, bring my baby over," she managed breathlessly, her voice trembling with urgency.

The doctor and nurses worked quickly, cleaning the baby and wrapping her in a soft, pastel blanket before placing her gently in her mother's arms.
