[This labor's been going on two days now and Raine's rapidly becoming exhausted. At first the midwife shooed everyone out to wait but with the birthing process going far longer than it should, she's started to invite people in to visit... and help with healing. The mother-to-be is still alert, but weariness is starting to make it hard for her to do much of anything but nod at people and wince at contractions.]
