"All right, Verity. It seems that they are both in a rush to come out." Even all the spells he had cast hadn't been enough to stop labour, but he wasn't surprised considering that they were twins and the situation back at Nott manor.
John picked up the baby. "I'm going to put her next to you, while you push." He laid the baby on the mattress, within arm's reach, and then moved to the foot of the bed again. "Next contraction you push again. It's going to be easier this time."
He waited as the next contraction arrived, and he reminded her to breath through it as she pushed. It only took two contractions this time, and then the head was out. He repeated the process, helping the baby out of the birth canal. Again, he ensured that the baby was fine and clean before going to Verity. "Mmmm, the baby is fine, my dear, but it's a he."
