Labour Room

Womb: Now it's time to meet your mom, child!

Child: I won't! It's my home....I won't!

Womb: Little plants are transferred to bigger pots once they are able to survive. You're a nice one, let the world know!

Child: No, I'll miss you. I'll miss staying so close to my mom. I have troubled you so much. Is that the reason you're eager to kick me out?

Womb: It's true that you troubled me. But that's not the reason. I really cherished your presence. And I could even feel your mom's happiness while flaunting you in the mirror. Nature works this way kid. Your mom's waiting...the entire world's waiting.

Child: Do you know how my mom looks?

Womb: You'll get to know, once you reach her. She's beautiful!

Child: How did you know?

Womb: I can feel...all mothers are beautiful!

Child: Won't you miss me, home?

Womb: I'll feel proud if your deeds let people speak good of your mother. Remember that child!

Child: How big is the world? Bigger than you?

Womb: Certainly! The world's a very very big place, but a little less safer than me. Don't worry...to your mom, you're the world. She'll protect you.

Child: Goodbyes hurt! Don't cry when I leave.

Womb: Some goodbyes are beautiful, you'll realise once you grow up. Be nice to her. Don't let her tears go in vain. Promise me!

Child: I won't let...goodbye home! I'll miss you!

Womb: Goodbye child...I'll miss you too!

Baby Delivers

"Some goodbyes are beautiful"....!

Tried a little...to make the would-be delivered child and the womb go through a conversation.
