"Stan please."
"No way Loraine! If everything Ford wrote about is true, which it most likely is, I am not keeping Batin."
The phone Stan held crackled with a sob as Loraine's voice resurfaced, "But you're best equipped to keep her! No matter where she stays she'll only get stronger with age and I am not prepared in any way to deal with a hormonal teenage female half-demon! You have at least one journal and you can handle her."
"Loraine that's the problem. The journal only details him, not the possibility of his offspring! Batin will grow more volatile as her powers develop, what if one day she gets upset and destroys the town in an uncalmable rage? WHAT THEN??"
Loraine sighed, "If you don't take her I'm putting this baby out of her misery." She didn't have the guts to really do that, not to her own daughter. (Not to mention the consequences of him finding out.) But she needed to guilt trip Stan into taking the child.
He was silent.
"Fine. Bring her to the Mystery Shack."
"Thank you Stan. Don't tell her about either of her parents. Let her just be a kid as long as you can."
"What do you think I am? An idiot?" The line went dead and the tired woman lifted the newborn from her cradle. The girl had wisps of chestnut hair and her eyes were a glimmering gold. Swaddling the child and boarding a bus, Loraine looked down at the giggling child.
"Yes, yes, Batin. You're going away for a very long time. To live with an old friend of mine in the only place you might stay safe." The bus arrived quicker than she expected. She was hoping for some more time with her daughter before she gave her away. Stepping up to a ramshackle cabin she met the unshaven man at the door.
"Here she is. At least try to keep her alive."
He took Batin and rolled his eyes, "Yeah, yeah. Get outta here, Loraine. Can't have people asking questions." Loraine nodded and left in a hurry, in order to avoid changing her mind. Now it was Stan's turn to stare down at the baby.
"Well you demonic little squirt. Welcome to your new home. Gravity Falls."
