The Mirror

Devin

"This would be a much more enjoyable experience if this  wasn't a spawn of Satan inside of me." I sigh thinking of when I was pregnant with Sage. It was a little scary at first and the cravings could get annoying but over all is was a good time. I'd lay in between Rickys legs, his hands on my tummy. Matt and TJ  would stare at the little bump the baby made by moving. Angelo I could tell was bitter about it but as soon as Sage came out he adored him along with the rest of us.

Now instead of looking down in wonder I looked down in fear. What's really inside of me? Sometimes I felt unnatural movement and it scared me. Could this thing rip me apart?

It moved again and I look down, there was a small hand raising my stomach. It stretched my skin enough it felt it would burst through. Matt saw before I could hide it, the look of terror on his face made me feel awful for letting him see.

"It's going to be ok." I pushed the hand down, "see?" He nodded obviously not believing me. I gasp in pain, blood soaked my crotch. Maybe it's not going to be ok.

"Ricky!" Matt yelled, "Angelo!"

They along with Mike ran in within seconds. The blood continued pouring out in between my legs, pain worse than I've ever felt coursed through my body.

"We need to get it out of him." I heard Ricky say. Mike took Matt off the bed and out the room. Ricky grabbed my hand, "you need to calm down." No matter how hard I tried it seemed impossible. The pain and shrieks coming from my stomach was driving me insane.

Josh crept up besides me placing his hands on my stomach. He was only able to transfer a fraction of the pain before dropping to the floor. It felt as if it was clawing its way through me. Holding back screams was useless, pain being to much to handle.

At some point Ryan came in trying his best to comfort me but everything's a blur. For all I knew I was already in hell.

Green glowing eyes set me in a trance. My finger softly strokes his velvety cheek as he drank from me.

"Beautiful." A whisper beside me says followed by a soft kiss. There was nothing but peace.

Terrible shrieks came from the thing Angelo was holding. He was holding it normally but with a look of confusion and fear.

"Just breathe baby." My vision was spotted meaning I'd blacked out. My entire body was in immense pain. I wasn't sure who was talking or holding my hand.

"Let me see the baby." I say weakly.

Angelo looked at Ricky, "I don't think that's a good idea."

"Let me see the baby" I was getting upset and they knew it. He handed me the bundle and I slowly lifted the light fabric from its face. What was underneath was slightly terrifying. Its eyes were black, it had tiny twisted horns, claws, rows of sharp teeth. Its skin was an ashy gray color. I hand it back bursting into tears. It was awful, but it was still a baby. Ryan held my hand and Ricky pulled me to his chest. Angelo and Dakota tended to the baby thing, Chris and Josh were cleaning the blood and bodily fluids that had gone  everywhere. I caught a glimpse of a terrified looking Matt clinging to Mike before passing out.

Matt

I caught a glimpse of the baby, I don't want this thing inside me. Mike's arms tightened around me, his body tense. I forget he's never seen Devin in so much pain, also there's a demon baby screeching in the other room.

A pain shoots through my stomach, there's no way I could handle that kind of pain. There are other options.

It was dark and everyone was sleeping. Carefully crawling out of Mikes arms I grab something from the dresser drawer.

I turn on the dim light in the bathroom since I could see fine without it. The large knife was inviting. I place it on the bottom of my large stomach. Don't be a fucking pussy, you'll be fine. With one quick motion my stomach is sliced open. The first wasn't deep enough so I did it again and push down on my stomach gritting my teeth so no sound could come out. The last thing I needed was someone busting in and freaking out.

One final push on my stomach and the thing fell to the floor. I examine it, it looked more normal than the other one with just little horns poking through fluffy hair. I'd even say it was cute if I wasn't bleeding all over the floor. I pull the large medical kit out of the closet and begin stitching myself up. It'll heal just fine and somewhat fast. After cleaning up I kneel down next to the tub where I'd set the baby. I jumped back, it now looked like the other one.

I turn on the faucet watching as it filled up leaving the thing underneath the cold water. It opened its eyes staring into me. It looked scared, begging me to save it. Before knowing what I was doing I lifted it into my arms half expecting it to turn into Satan spawn form again, but it didn't. It just stared at me in wonder as I did to it.

"Are yo.. holy shit." Mike must've picked the lock while I was entranced by the baby. "I was banging on the door." He looked at my still exposed stomach, the full tub, the baby in my arms. He said nothing and cleaned up the blood I missed. He took a look at the baby, his expression unreadable. "Are you two coming to bed now?"

"Are you ok with the baby in there to?"

"It's an it, and I guess if you wrap it tight so it can't move." He looked unsure but didn't want to upset me except my blood was boiling.

"The baby and I will sleep in one of the extra rooms." I say in a suddenly burst of anger. I walked past him and went into the room Ricky had before moving into Ryans. I wanted to sleep with him but Devin needed all his attention right now.

I wrap the baby in a soft blanket and hold him, starring some more. "Hey baby." I say quietly, "You're ok now, I promise not to do that again." His tiny mouth opened I assume in search for food, but what do I feed him? I pinch my nipple to see if anything squirted out, nothing. Tiny fangs were popping out from his gums, thankfully the rows of sharp teeth had disappeared. I put the pad of my thumb to his mouth, there was a tiny pinch and sweet little grunting from all the effort it took. I'd have to get a bottle and bleed into it so it would be easier for him. I laugh when he made a little hiccup sound and wipe the blood dribbled on his chin.

"I don't care that you're a Satan spawn, I love you to much to let you go."
