Ten minutes seemed like a long time to Silas, but he would trust Marc in this decision; he was after all the doctor in this situation. Silas helped Sidney through the pushes, coaching like he had been for the entire time. His hand was throbbing painfully with how hard Sidney was gripping it, he was sure to have a broken bone or two, but it was nothing compared to the pain that Sidney had endured for the past few months.
Silas sucked up his own pain and... finally there was more movement. Marc was encouraging Sidney to push harder - the screaming was getting loud as the epidural started wearing off and Silas was trying to keep Sidney calm through it all.
It seemed to take longer than ten minutes, but finally Twin A had made his descent and he was very close to being birthed into the world - Marc had asked if Silas wanted to feel the baby's head, but... that idea was immediately retracted with an 'I'm just kidding' -- Silas had blanched pale white and looked like he would pass out just from the question, let alone the action.
