Scene 3: Cassie's room. Cassie is looking on her laptop for information on the Nephilim as Thelma returns.

Cassie: Did you find anything that could be useful?

Thelma: (Drops a few books and files on the bed) I don't know. This is what I found, but I didn't want to look through them in his office alone.

Cassie: So you pilfered them?

Thelma: Borrowed. Please.

Cassie: Fine. Let's see what we can find out. (She looks through an ancient looking file marked McBain) Hmmm. . . . This is interesting.

Thelma: What?

Cassie: It seems that Rachel's husband wasn't Esther's father.

Thelma: How do you know?

Cassie: Well this is a medical record from 1st January 1746. It seems as though Rachel's pregnancy was far from normal.

Thelma: How so?

Cassie: Apparently they thought she was quite ill as she was becoming "alarmingly swollen" early on. And here's Esther's birth certificate dated 8th March, 1746. God Thelma, do you know what this means?

Thelma: Um, no.

Cassie: Esther was Rachel's child with Azazeal! She had an accelerated pregnancy because the baby was supernatural.

Thelma: So why didn't the Nephilim get release when Esther was born?

Cassie: Because the baby wasn't the son of Azazeal. Remember when I told you about Azazeal coming to me right after I found out I was pregnant. He was talking about how the baby was going to be "an amazing boy". I bet the only way the Nephilim will be released is if the baby is a boy.

Thelma: Wait, I think I saw mention of that when I was flipping through one of these books (She shuffles through some pages in one of the books). Here it is, "The birth of the son of the leader of the fallen one will shatter the veil between worlds and release upon Earth the Nephilim. " OK, so if that's the case, why didn't Azazeal try to have another child with Rachel? Go for a boy the next time 'round?

Cassie: Because Rachel died the same year that Esther was born.

Thelma: Do you think Rachel met the same fate as Herath?

Cassie: That she was killed because she was carrying Azazeal's son? I dunno. It's possible.

Scene 4: The canteen. Cassie and Thelma are having dinner. There are few people left as it is Christmas break.

Thelma: So are you going to see your mother? Celebrate Christmas?

Cassie: I don't think so.

Thelma: Why not?

Cassie: Aside from the fact that I doubt she even realizes that it's the holidays, I don't really fancy explaining this (points to her growing baby bump). She was afraid that I would get tangled up with Azazeal and now that's exactly what's happened. Besides, we've got a lot to deal with in a short amount of time.

Thelma: Right. Well, I went looking for Peggy to see if she could shed any light on our situation from her research on Herath, but she's no where to be found.

Cassie: I don't know where else to look for information. We got all we could out of the Headmaster's books and the internet. The last time these buggers walked the Earth, God had to hurl them into the abyss. That doesn't help us much does it?

Thelma: We don't even know what will happen when they are released on Earth. Will it be an Apocalypse?

Cassie: I doubt that the birth of one child could do all that. Could it?

Thelma: I hope not.

Cassie: I can't believe it's almost New Year. Everyone will be coming back soon. I suppose I have to tell David Tyrel about the baby. I wonder if they'll transfer me to the off campus housing. I don't suppose they want a baby crying in the middle of the night to wake up half the building.

Thelma: I never thought of that. In all of the Nephilim talk, I'd forgotten that you're going to be a mum.

Cassie: Yeah, it's a surreal thought. Especially since it's coming so fast. I guess you'll get to be auntie godmother after all.

Thelma: (smiles) Yes I will.

Cassie: Ooh!

Thelma: What?

Cassie: I just felt the baby kick. In all of this commotion, I've never really stopped to think about him in all this. His mother is a witch, his father is a fallen angel, his auntie is a ghost and he is the key to unleashing 200 demons on the world. What a life to be born into.

Thelma: Well, at least he's being born to a mum who is going to love and protect him. There aren't enough children in this world that have it that good.

Cassie: Thanks.
