[The doctors start going through their options. A c-section now would probably kill Hilda, and she's definitely in no state to deliver as she is. But if they saved Hilda, the only ways they knew how, the baby would be lost or severely injured...

...And while they're in a panic, at least this moment hooking her up to a blood transfusion, Hilda weakly pulls Silver closer to her.]

Silver. Silver, listen to me.

[Her voice is low, but there's that fire and determination sparking under the frailty and weakness.]

My family will never give up. None of you can ever give up. Not you, not the babies... and not me.

[She lets go, hauling herself upright and pushing as hard as she can, letting out a pained wail. The doctors immediately respond, though they can't stop her. They work with her, in that tense and loud and painful fifteen minutes that it takes for the boy to be delivered.



Hilda collapses. Her eyes glazed, her skin a deathly pale, so still she can't even shake from the pain or the weakness any longer. But upon hearing her son crying, she smiled. And she closed her eyes, as if to finally rest.

The doctors frantically move to revive her, nurses having to move Silver out of the way as they break out the defibrillator and emergency equipment to revive her.

A nurse asks Silver if he wants to see his children or wait for his wife.]
