- No, I can do it. Thank you... - He touched his cheek shyly and entered his tent. He fell asleep not much later.

At night, he was awakened by a bursting back pain and a strange feeling downstairs. He arched his back, groaning through his teeth. He opened his shirt a little with his hand, giving the stomach some air. He touched it gently. It was very tense and throbbing. Then he pulled off his pants, breathing loudly and steadily. What he felt at the anus stiffened him. He could feel the baby's hair. The toddler was just about to go into the world. Panicked, the boy forcibly pushed back a part of the infant's body, hissing in pain. He felt even worse now. He thought he was dying. On trembling legs he got into the next tent and opened it. Standing between the merchant's makeshift bedroom and the ground, his water burst, soaking his pants, which he pulled back up to his ankles.

- CHRISTOPHER! - he shouted, feeling a contraction that lasted longer than the last. When it ended, surprisingly, he did not feel it again. It turned out that he must have been closer to the right stage of labor.
