Twins we delivered

This story had a happy ending. I was there to help the refugees build a clinic. They came and got me at night. The father told me that placenta had not come out yet. Mother did not know she was having twins. I did the exam and felt the baby's head. The baby was blue when he came out. We did all kinds of stimulation (hold upside down, suction mucus with suction bulb, slapping feet..etc) without any luck. Finally, mouth to mouth resuscitation did the magic. That was the sweetest cry we heard. I was sure parents were excited too.
