And then the baby was coming out, and in his hands, and Matt had to concentrate to hold him. Reddish water, and the rest followed, and he ignored the wetness.
One moment later, and a baby's cry sounded across the room. Matt grinning wildly, gently supported the child as he spoke. "Congratulations, you're a mom." then he nodded to Rachel.
"Help her get her shirt off. The baby will need full contact." He held the child, rocking it ever so slightly as it cried. Once Julie's chest was clear, he lay the child on her chest and upper belly. He was careful of the cord.
Able to reach over, he grabbed several towels and surrounded the baby with them.
