Unfortunately for Haji, no one there had any sort of medical experience, and the woman was bleeding out unbelievably quick. The baby inside of her seemed to be okay, however, even as the woman's screams began to die out. Apparently, her baby was just about due, and she realized this, fighting for her life until the very last second.
"My... my baby!"
If she was going to die, it seemed the mother wanted her child to live. Haji would have to get the baby out of there.

"But... if I do that..."
If I saved her baby... she would die. If I worried about her right now, then the baby would die... and if I wanted to save her baby, I'd probably have to...
My fists clenched as I looked down at the woman. My eyes were wide, and my breathing was heavy. I was trembling all over, sweat dripped from my forehead. What the hell was I supposed to do? Either way, a life would be lost... this woman would hate me forever if I let her baby die, especially when she put her child's life before her own, but... damn it, Haji...
"I'm... I'm so sorry... please forgive me..."
Taking a deep breath, I would form a small knife out of light, and with trembling hands... I would slice along the woman's belly. I tried to drown out her cries, the cries of the people around him, and tried to stop myself from crying out. My cut wouldn't be deep enough to harm the baby, but enough to where I'd have some more leverage. A tear would run down my face as I used my light to grab the baby, slowly pulling it from her stomach, slicing the umbilical cord in the process.
The baby was handed off to someone nearby who wrapped a cloth around it and made sure it was okay. I stared at the woman, in shock, as the life ebbed away from her. There was nothing I could do... I let someone die, even if it was to save their child, who would grow up without a mother. And no one knew who the father was... I fulfilled her last wish, but I couldn't stop myself from breaking down and crying...
"Forgive me..."

Little did Haji know, the child he saved was going to be very important in shaping the country in the later years. And the mother, despite losing her life, offered Haji a smile as her life faded away.
"Thank you."
