Sidney gasped and flopped back on the bed when Marc told him the contraction was over. He put a hand on his belly, rubbing it in soothing circles. Marc patted his thigh. "Good pushing. He's got a big head, but he moved on those pushes. If you can keep pushing like that, I think we can do this."
Sidney gave him a shaky smile. "I'll do my best."
"Give me another one," said Marc. "Good strong pushes."
Sidney grasped his knees and pulled himself forward into the push, Silas helping to hold him up as he pushed. Marc kept encouraging him, telling him when to take another breath and start pushing again. Sidney felt like his head was spinning and he was lightheaded.
