"Well, the baby inside me... it's still half human, right? It can't be all bad, can it?" Claire said.
The doctor nodded.
"I' not a priest, I wouldn't know." He said.
"Well... I don't think we should abort it. It's only a baby, it might be harmless, right?" Claire said.
"Hey, it's your choice." The doctor said.
Claire resolutely clapped her fist into her hand.
"I'm going to have this baby. I'm going to love it as best I can, and care for it, like any other child!" She said.
It was an extraordinarily long and painful pregnancy, longer than a normal one, a whole ten months. Claire's friends and family knew the baby would be a product of rape, but Claire kept it a secret between her and the doctors that the baby was half demon. The baby would churn in her tummy at horrible times, kicking her insides and pushing against her other organs. It would make Claire vomit and urinate at inopportune times and keep her awake for days on end with its constant squirming. Then, on the last day of the tenth month, it was time for the delivery.
Claire had been in the hospital for two weeks now, and she had been getting contractions for the last 23 hours. She was rushed to the delivery room where a team of doctors went to assist.
"Her contractions are getting quicker. It's time for the baby to come out!" A doctor said.
"Push, Claire! Push!" Another doctor said.
Claire pushed as hard as she could, and the baby slid right out. It was the only easy thing about the pregnancy. In fact, it was a little too easy.
"Is it... is it out? Was that it?" Claire said, panting.
Smiling, a doctor held the newborn in his hands. It had hooves for feet and a pair of little curved ram horns, just like his father, Judecca the demon sheep. The baby panted, breathing heavily with its first breaths.
"It's a boy!" The doctor said.
Claire smiled. She took the baby demon in her hand and held him close to her chest.
"I think I'll name him Seth." She said.
Then, the baby opened its eyes.
