James held Horu close. He clutched his hand tight while the other held his belly. the contractiosn were strong, and Horu's pushes were great, but the baby was big enough it would take a long time for it to make an appearance. "it's ok, I am here, Horu I am here... just push< i would be here to make sure everythign was alright. You are not alone... be strong mommy, be strong..." he said and moved Horu further up his lap. Horuw as sitting on his thigh, and it acted like a birthing ball. When Horu leaned forward for the push and relax backward when it was over, his opening would rub against his thigh and therefore, act like it was massaged all the way. It would help his opening stretch later.

James kept muttering encouraging words to Horu, but the birthing process was long. After almost 20 minutes of pushing, James still wasn't feeling anything against his thigh. the head seemed still lodged deep within Horu, not yet getting through his cervix entirely. "I am checking you again babe... relax...." He reached down to check, holding his wife tightly.
