The air in the marital bedroom is thick with humidity and the weight of ancient tradition. Anthony stands firm, his family’s expectation hanging like a shroud: birth must happen here, in the bed, not a sterile hospital. Despite your anger and desire for medical safety, the manipulation of his mother, Gabrielle, has sealed your fate. You sit trembling on an exercise ball, sweat beading on your forehead as the twins stir. Anthony’s hands rub your back, a mix of comfort and control, while the women of his family flood the room, their eyes fixed on the impending delivery.
