Marc sighed heavily when Sidney finished his latest round of pushing. Twin A was just not moving. His heart rate was okay, but Sidney was fading fast. They couldn't keep this up.
"Okay Sid," Marc said gently. "This is me, calling it quits and telling you that we need to do a C-section. We're not making any progress and we need to get these babies out."
Sidney hiccuped and looked between him and Silas. "Are you sure? Can you let me try for ten more minutes?"
Marc exchanged a glance with Silas, but nodded in agreement. "Ten minutes. If Twin A isn't well into the birth canal and on the way, we're doing the C-section."
Sidney nodded, looking determined. He tucked his chin to his chest and pushed again, harder than he had before now, doing everything he could to move the baby and not have a C-section.
