On July 17, 1976, Brandy's water broke late in pregnancy. The midwife at the Barcelona clinic dismissed her symptoms, claiming she had merely wet herself despite Brandy's insistence about clear amniotic fluid. Sent home in active labor, she spent July 17 shifting between furniture in pain. They returned July 18, a holiday with bombs exploding near the clinic. The gynecologist discovered an urgent situation requiring immediate cesarean section - the baby had the cord around her neck, preventing descent, and Brandy was near death from exhaustion. Under general anesthesia during the emergency vertical cesarean, Brandy found herself floating outside her body in the operating room. She observed her daughter being born, watching reflex tests and hearing the nurse declare "Normal reflexes and excellent lung function." She saw herself covered with a green sheet with an opening, being sewn up as staff rushed with masks. She felt no pain, only concern for her daughter being washed and wrapped in white towels. She was awakened by her aunt's strong voice expressing disappointment about having a girl. Her husband took her hand, speaking in Catalan about their daughter Queralt (meaning "high stone"), a name Brandy had chosen years before at a sacred Catalan pre-Pyrenees location. The gynecologist later confirmed she had been at the point of death. The experience reinforced her belief from a childhood angelic encounter at age 4 that we are part of a universal quantum whole. She witnessed the medical team's emotional investment and struggle to save lives, discovering the love given in medical practice. She knew she had to return for her daughter, remembering the angel's words from childhood: "Brandy, it is not yet Time."
