Jessie groans and rolls onto her left side, the only way she could lie comfortably.

Caleb gently massages her tense lower back.

"Honey I know it's hard. But you've got two months left in your pregnancy and then it's all over with."

He murmurs.

"And the Antichrist is born"

The familiar eerie voice says.

"Shut up Sera."

Jessie and Caleb both say at the same time.

The woman pulls herself off the bed, holding tight to her protruding belly.

"I think I'll go for a walk around the block. I can't breathe in here."

Her fiance nods and she leaves, walking very slowly

*****

She loves the California air.

The see breeze keeps her cool as she walks with the stirrings of life forming inside of her.

Quickly, she becomes tired

Nearby there is a convenience store and she seeks refuge in its white walls and soda fountain

She can't help but think about what the eerie phantom had said.

She was not frightened when she found out Caleb was a Son from Hell, but she was very afraid of what her child could become.

What if this was the unborn Antichrist?

Kicking at her abdomen

Could be the very thing that would kill her.

Just then, she saw her enemy

Will was in this store

How had he followed her to California?

She didn't know, but with the white witches working against her, they were probably feeding him information.

However, she felt Sera's spirit enter the room and she relaxed.

Let the games begin.

Will strode over and sat across from her, with her pregnant belly and large ice cold soft drink.

"You're pregnant."

It was not a question.

Jessie shrugged.

Will sighed.

"When did it get like this? Back in high school, what could I have done to make you run around with Damian's fuckin son for Christ's sake?!"

At the mention of Christ, the eerie spirit of Sera, Calebs long dead sister, whirled around the room.

"You were a liar, Will. Caleb isn't a liar. Its funny how a Son of Hell has more of a moral code."

Will clenched his fists.

"That should be my baby!"

And he disappeared
