Birth Day

Today I heard the glorious sound of sirens. All of the women hurried to the window in hopes it was red, which it was. Today we got to leave, and talk and touch. We piled in to goon our way to The Center. I was excited to be out of that place. When we got there it was more grand then our home, and the women were so loud and obnoxious! They were getting all ready in preparation for Janine to give birth. We all sat on the rug cross legged and would chant "Breathe, breathe. Hold, hold. Expel, expel, expel." We continue to support her as one, until she has given birth, which then The Wife named her Angela. These Birth Days are long, you sit in a dark room awake the entire time chanting, stuck with smells, muggy hot air, and it isn't the most pleasant environment. A whole day has gone by and its light again by the time we leave, and I am exhausted.
