Mathilda Simmons sat on the chair looking at the doctor. She'd been sick for days now and didn't have a clue as to why. Things had been going so well for her since that night months ago. The one she'd hardly survived. However that was in her past. She now was part of a true convent in London and was teaching the children the ways of the Lord.
"Sister Simmons?" The doctor said as he walked into his office.
"Yes Doctor?" she asked looking up at him.
"I don't quite know how to tell you this but you're pregnant." he replied.
Suddenly Mathilda felt her body grow cold, "P-Pregnant?"
"Yes. Every sign and symptom you've given me point to that." he replied.
A second later she dissolved into tears.
Pregnant?
There would be a child!
She reached down and rested her hands on her stomach.
What was she going to do?
"Are you okay Sister Simmons?" the doctor asked.
"Yes but please call me Ms. I don't think that I can be a Sister anymore in my condition." Mathilda said.
"I understand." The doctor nodded.
"I-I should be going." Mathilda said standing up.
"Are you sure you're alright Miss Simmons?" the doctor asked.
"Yes. Thank you." she said and with that she left.
As she walked through the streets she was in shock. There was no doubt about the father of the child. The demon was the only man she had ever been with. This was his child for sure.
With a heavy heart she returned to the Convent, packed her things and left, returning to her family's home. Her parents were glad to see her but disappointed when she told them the news.
The next several months were some of the hardest she had ever known. She was forced to stay hidden in the house, no one could know of the child. Her mother would pass it off as her own when the time came for it to be born. They were using her mother's 'pregnancy' as her excuse to return home.
Finally the day came when it was time for the baby to come. The labor was long and hard but hours after it began the child came into the world. The doctor, the same one who had told her of the impending child, was the one who laid it on her chest.
It was a girl with his dark hair and reddish brown eyes. However unlike his her eyes were wide and innocent. Mathilda held her daughter close trying to grasp onto some sort of feeling but she couldn't. No matter what she tried.
As night fell she knew that there would never be a time where she could care for the child as a Mother should. So when she was sure everyone was asleep she stole away with the child. There was an orphanage not far from her home so she knew that would be the place to leave her.
With a sigh she knelt on the steps and laid the child on the stoop and hurried away. She had just reached her home when the rain turned to snow. It was the last day of December. They would have a white New Year.
So this kinda goes back to the first chapter but gives you a little more detail into what she was feeling when she found out she was pregnant with Sebastian's Child.
