My Demon Child

Chapter 3: I'm sorry, what?

  The doctor was on time and once again it was just me, my mother, and the doctor. Finally the doctor broke the silence.      
  "Miss Greene... This may seem very confusing but there is a legend that I never believed that goes with it and explains it all" My hands were shaking and my long blonde hair started losing color. "Autumn you're pregnant"
What?!I'm what!?
"By testing your blood and seeing no children I know you are a virgin. But legend has it that every thousand years a girl is chosen to love and care for a Demon child.
When that baby is born it could crush you. You have four months until it's born so live your life before you have to wear maternity clothes. The first month is the hardest but all you have to do is care for it like a normal baby and pray it's a boy. Girls are more difficult during the pregnancy but easier after birth until age four. Other way around with a boy. I should be there for the delivery...unless you want a female"
"I want the doctor who delivered my baby" said my mother. "Dr.Copeland?" The doctor nodded and smiled at me to calm me and left. My mother tried to smile...but failed. "I'll ask the doctor to abort the child when the time comes" I nearly screamed at her in tears.
"Mom if I was a demon baby you wouldn't have killed me before you got to know me...would you?" My mother understood my anger and was completely honest:
"Honey... I would've never gotten to know you if you were because you'd kill me. The life was going to be mine or yours."
"What would you choose?" I asked. She said nothing. "That's what I th-" she cut me off
"Yours"
"Exactly. I want my child to experience life. I'm going to die. And you're going to have to take care of him."
"Him?" She asked "I didn't know we were going to have a demon boy"
"Just a guess. It feels like a boy but we'll see. I'll be pregnant for four months, I'm single and my demon is not a vampire....hopefully"
