Rebel (1997)
“Alaina was blissfully unaware of those events, however, for Sean Michael McKenzie finally made his appearance at precisely noon on the tenth of January. Despite the fact that Alaina’s water had broken and her pains were almost instantly severe, her son chose to take his time coming into the world.
