She had one job that afternoon: giving birth. He had another, much simpler one: just being there with her. Things didn’t go as planned.
While the woman was in labor, her husband started feeling ill right there in the operating room. He ended up fainting on the floor, surrounded by medical staff who had to set aside the newborn for a moment to attend to him. She, still in the middle of labor, noticed the scene and didn’t hesitate: she pulled out her phone and took a smiling selfie, with her unconscious husband in the background being examined by healthcare professionals.
Fortunately, that was all the scare amounted to: an unexpected moment in the middle of a day that ended with the arrival of their baby. The photograph remained as the unusual memory of a birth that neither of them would forget.
