A Terrifying Discovery
Daniel stared at him. “What do you mean, not a baby?”
He pointed to the screen. There, among nine tiny, perfect forms, was a tenth — larger, distorted, and pulsating in an irregular rhythm.
It didn’t move like the others. It didn’t look human.
“We’ll need to deliver early,” Harrison finally said. “It’s the only way to protect Emily and the others.”
The Birth
Two weeks later, under blinding lights and surrounded by specialists, Emily Carter was wheeled into the operating room. The hospital corridors buzzed with tension. Every available doctor was on standby.
Nine perfect, healthy babies.
The delivery room went silent. Dr. Harrison froze, staring at what he was holding in his gloved hands. It wasn’t crying. It wasn’t moving.
He said nothing. His face drained of all color. Slowly, he looked up and murmured, “This… is not human.”
The object was quickly covered and removed from the room. Nurses exchanged frightened looks. Emily, half-conscious from exhaustion, didn’t see it. Daniel, standing behind the curtain, caught only a glimpse — a strange, grayish form, slick and shapeless, with what looked like… eyes.
The tenth “baby” was never mentioned again.
