Detour
Author's Note: This is my first Hex Fan Fiction. It is an AU Fan Fiction because I was none too thrilled with the way the writers dealt with some things. I don't own any part of Hex, although I wish I did. I do own Cade though. Please don't sue me because this story is just for fun.
Back-Story: This story starts right after Azazeal speaks to everyone in the church during "The Release" (season 1 finale)
Scene 1: Hospital, Cassie is lying in the hospital bed as Dr. Surtees comes in.
Cassie: Is something the matter Dr. Surtees? I thought that I would have been prepared for surgery by now
Dr. Surtees: Well actually there is. Upon further examination of your scan and other tests I realize that you are beyond the legal limits for a termination. The pregnancy is too far along. I'm sorry.
Cassie: What? You told me I was within the legal limits just yesterday! What's changed?
Dr Surtees: I told you, it's been determined that you're about 25 weeks pregnant which is past the legal limit.
Cassie: That can't possibly be true!
Dr. Surtees: I'm sorry Miss Hughes but you are and I will not perform the termination. You can get dressed now. The nurse will call you a cab.
Cassie: I can't believe this.
(Dr. Surtees leaves and Thelma comes out from behind the curtain)
Cassie: I suppose you heard what the doctor said. I guess this baby was meant to be. I'd be lying if I said I was truly upset.
Thelma: Have you forgotten that when this baby is born, 200 monsters will be released on the world?
Cassie: Maybe Peggy was wrong? Maybe there was something else that would release the Nephilim? (Thelma gives Cassie a look) Maybe I'm in denial that this baby growing inside of me is the key to unleashing hell on Earth?
Thelma: That's more like it.
Cassie: Well, there isn't anything we can do about it now. No doctor would let me have a termination, especially after getting my records from Dr. Surtees. We're just going to have to find another way to deal with this. You said that the Nephilim won't be released until the baby is born right? Well, we've got some time. Though I've no idea how much.
Thelma: And we've got another problem you haven't thought about.
Cassie: I thought my son was the problem?
Thelma: And his father too.
Cassie: Well Azazeal obviously wants this child born, so he won't harm me and you're dead so we should be safe.
Thelma: And after the baby is born?
Cassie: One impossible problem at a time please Thelma.
Cut to outside Cassie's room Azazeal and Dr. Surtees are talking
Azazeal: You did a brave thing. A very brave thing. I have a feeling God isn't going to forget what you've done.
