[post_page_title]A helping hand[/post_page_title]
Fortunately, the couple wasn’t alone. Having called her when they realized the baby was on the way, Martin’s mother, Polly, showed up to lend a hand. She offered support to the pregnant mother and contacted the midwives to see how long it would be until they showed up. Unfortunately, given the speed at which Holly was giving birth, they wouldn’t arrive on time to help her. While they could still offer help over the phone, it wasn’t possible for them to deliver the child. Someone else had to do it.
