Paul is also carrying a large bowl and towels in his other hand. Water slops from the buckets as they walk, but there will be plenty for what is needed. As they approach there is a loud cry from Wendy and then silence for a few short seconds. Then the cries of a new born baby echo from the back of the ambulance and the smiles on the faces of the anxious watchers grow wider. “Oh well done Wendy, what a little beauty.” I hear James talking softly to Wendy and praising her efforts. “Can you hold the baby while we clean up Mum?” I hear Faith ask James. “Sure will, just pop a pillow on the side nearest the wall and then we can snuggle down together. That way the little one won’t fall either.” James excited voice comes from the back of the ambulance as he contemplates having the first cuddle with the new baby. “Don’t forget a towel for around the bum end though or I might just get wet.”
