More drugs might have helped Bobbi delay the inevitable, but, says Drake, "she'd had it." It was time to execute the plan that had been worked out over the previous two months. The delivery took place in a two-room surgical suite that normally serves cardiac patients. At 12:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Bobbi was partly anesthetized; 18 minutes later, the boy nicknamed Hercules (he'd been supporting the weight of all his siblings in the womb) was lifted out.
