"You're with child," he said. I gasped, feeling tears run down my face. All the Elder doctors had told me that I wasn't able to carry a child, and now, after all this time and effort, I'd gotten what I wanted.
"Do you know who the father is? Should we contact him?" the man asked. I did know who the father, but how was I suppose to explain to this tribal doctor that the baby's father wasn't who they wanted for me? I mean, I had slept with almost every man in my tribe and tried so hard to become pregnant, and I had finally found the right sperm.
"Um, no, I don't know who the father is," my voice shook, the lie clear in my voice, and everyone knew that you couldn't lie to an Elder doctor. He looked at me with a deathly glare, and I couldn't help but shrink away from his evil stare.
"You lie, Miranda," he whispered, leaning into my ear. I shivered as his cold breath hit my skin.
"I don't know what you mean," I stuttered.
"Miranda, I need to check your child now, so please lay down," he said, pushing me down lightly. I was trying to breath normally and not show my nerves as he guided his hands up and down my stomach. I felt a warm feeling inside of me, and then something bad happened. The light got brighter, and turned red while the feeling got hotter and hotter. The Elder screamed, his whole body shaking like he had just been burned. I felt like I was going to die, but then the spot got colder until finally the temperature was freezing. I shivered and began to feel a little numb, feeling as though I would catch pneumonia from the cold. The elder felt it too, and looked at me like I was a demon from Hell.
"What have you done?" he whispered so softly I could barely hear. I looked up at the ceiling, trying hard not to focus on his hate. Why couldn't they understand that I was trying my best? Weren't they the ones that shacked me up with every guy in the tribe!? I couldn't be the chosen one! I wasn't perfect, but I wanted so badly to make them proud. I had to get pregnant, so I'd done the unforgivable.
"I slept with him!" I screamed, angry tears running down my face, "I slept with that God forsaken leach! You gave me no choice! You wanted my child, and now you can have it!" I got louder and louder, my voice echoing around the room.
"You shall have another child after this Miranda, and you shall raise it too be like us," he spoke calmly.
"And what about this one Elder? What will I do with this one?" I whispered. I didn't want to give up my child, and I would do anything to keep it.
"The girl shall live with you, but you must treat her with no compassion and never teach her of our ways. This mutt does not deserve our knowledge and power," he said, looking at me with cold eyes. I turned away, trying my damnedest not to show him my smile. It was a girl, and she was going to be so beautiful and mine. I didn't care if I had to hide her; she was still going to be with me. This was going to be the start of a new life for both of us.
