"You did it, Mama. You did it."

"I love this song." Gary says, listening to the song record playing.

"Me too." Cheryl says as she washes the dishes.

"Me too." Ethan says.

"I've never actually heard it before." Olympia then says and you chuckle.

Suddenly she gasps and grunts, hunching over and holding on to the kitchen counter. Your eyes widen and you move toward her.

"It could be a false alarm right?" She says then groans in pain.

"Alright." Cheryl says putting the dish she was washing away to help her. "We're going upstairs to the bedroom. Now, we need towels, sponges, uh.. scissors, and lots of water. Buckets of water." She tells you and turn to a panting Olympia. "It's okay, it's okay. Take it easy, I got you."

You collect some of the supplies while Ethan gets the buckets, then when he comes back with them you start filling them with water in the kitchen and he goes to get towels. You glance up at Gary while you do it, seeing him close to the last supply you need.

"Uh, scissors are in the drawer by the side of your left hand there, yeah." You tell him, and he gives it to you.

You run with the supplies while Ethan carries the buckets of water up the stairs. Olympia is grunting and groaning in pain and Cheryl is soothing her while you get the supplies ready.

"You're doing great." Ethan then tells her, not knowing what to do after putting the buckets down beside you.

"Oh, shut up." She says and you scoff a laugh, then looks up at him raising his hand in confusion.

...

Downstairs Gary starts playing another record and listen to the music while he pulls out the papers in his bag. Laying all the drawings on the table in front of him. All drawings of disturbing things the creatures has shown him. Picking up his book he starts drawing on a new blank paper.

...

You hold Olympia's hand while she pushes.

"Almost there."

"That's right, that's right."

"Yes, yes." Cheryl then says, having caught the baby. She starts cleaning and wrapping it in a blanket.

"You did it, Mama. You did it." You tell Olympia, stroking some hair stuck on her forehead from sweat.

...

Gary takes the bird cage and walks toward the freezes but stop when he hears Douglas. He turns and see him through the window on the door to the garage.

"Hey, new guy! Let me in! Just come and unlock the door. Come on. What are you doing?" Douglas frowns when he watches Gary put the birds in the freezer.

Gary then go to a window and rips up the paper covering it, gasping dreamily when he sees the creatures again.

...

Ethan went to get more towels and blankets when he stops on the way looking down at the floor below where he can see the living room from, seeing drawings on the table.

"Gary?" He asks and walks down the stairs to take a closer look at the strange drawings. "Gary?"

"Hey, Ethan!" He then hears and turns to see Douglas pounding on the door. "He put the birds in the freezer. I told you he's crazy!"

Ethan ignores and head for the table, looking down at the disturbing drawings. Then he heads to find him.

"Gary?" He says but stops by the freezer to pull out the bird cage.
