[You're not being helpful, Anna.]

But if there's a chance they both could live...would you take it?

[Obviously B|]

If... They could both survive the pregnancy, and the birth- It might be a dangerous child, but. I would probably take the risk.

Why? Is it because you wanna be a mom?

W-Well, yeah, I guess. One day, maybe. But, usually when a woman gets pregnant- and I say usually because not everyone does, they... I dunno, just suddenly get protective of their child. Maternal instinct kicks in or something.

So, even if she didn't want it, she'd still want to keep it safe? Like, it's perfectly normal to have that kind of connection?

Well, no. Not always. Not everyone is like that; it's just a majority, thing. I think if she didn't want it, then she... would have less trouble deciding to have an abortion.

It should be easier deciding whether or not to kill it. I mean, it's not actually real yet, right? Even though it has eyes and finger and toes only after a few weeks...

[...........]

Killing someone- someone innocent, shouldn't ever be easy. .. How far along do you think the child is? [She's remembering a certain conversation half a dozen weeks ago.] 'Cause the further developed the child is, the more dangerous aborting it gets.

About eight weeks.

How long can you wait to abort?

Eight.. That's still in the first trimester, I think. I think after the twenty one week mark is when it starts getting risky. .. Well. Riskier.

That's a long time from now...

The longer you wait, the more dangerous it becomes. Not just on the child, but for you too, Jinx. [ 8| ] Better to decide sooner, than later.

I used to be a better liar, I swear.

[She sighs.] I don't know what I'm gonna do, Anna.

You are- I just remembered your last broadcast. Not that hard to put two and two together.

[..] Well.. It's not a darkness monster, at least. But.. I'm pretty sure Angel-offspring aren't that great, either..

The last time I talked to Gabriel, he said it's gonna kill me.

Nephilim- I think. That... What do you want to do?

Getting rid of it should be the obvious choice. I should have done it days ago...

That's not what I asked.

I...

I can't answer that.

.. You don't know, or you can't?

I wish I'd never seen it.

Seen-- you mean. You had an ultrasound?

[Tentative- it's a sensitive topic and pissing Jinx off right now isn't, ironically, on her to-do list right now.]

More than one.

And.. You aren't sure what to do?

Not in the least.
