STORY:
Anthony woke up in the evening. He saw that both his mother and Claire had gotten up before him. He had a shower and he went down. Nina, Liz and Marge were having dinner and Tara was cooking for them.
Anthony remembered what had happened that morning. Tara was with his child. He went near his mother and hugged her from behind. He was so happy with her. Tara smiled and she turned to face him. Anthony gave his mother an intense kiss.
"Thank you so much for this wonderful gift, Mom."
Marge was confused by what her brother had just said.
"What gift did Mom give you, Anthony?" Marge asked.
Tara looked at her son, as if asking him permission to tell her daughter the news. Anthony nodded to his mother, giving her his permission to tell Marge the good news.
"I'm pregnant," Tara said to her daughter.
Marge looked at her mother, then at her brother. She was shocked.
"You two? You knocked mom up?" Marge gave out a small laugh.
Nina looked at Anthony and Tara with wonder. There was a sign of worry on Liz's face.
"Anthony, if you impregnated your mother, your child could be..."
As soon as Liz said that, both Tara and Marge's faces fell. They knew what she was talking about. She was talking about the adverse effects inbreeding has on the child. Tara was worried about that too. She managed to bury her concerns in the happy smiles on her son's face and the fact that she was carrying her son's child, but as soon as Liz uttered those words, the illusion broke.
"Don't worry, Liz. Nothing bad will happen to the kid. He or she will be born healthy and grow up healthy," Anthony said.
Tara smiled at her son, but she had to acknowledge the reality of the situation.
"But, Anthony. We can't ignore reality. I think it would be better if we aborted the baby," Tara told her son.
"No, Mom!" Anthony shouted.
He didn't know how to explain to his mother about the alien and the pheromones. The alien had told him that even if he had a child with his mother or sister, the child would not have any of the genetic defects it would normally have. The genetic code of the alien embedded into his DNA would rectify the genetic defects of the fetus.
Anthony took a deep breath. He had to come clean to his mother and his sister.
"Mom, Liz, Nina, Marge. I need to tell you guys something."
The four women listened to him with rapt attention. Anthony started explaining everything to them. He told them how he was "infected" by the alien, how it merged its genetic material with his. He also explained how his pheromones worked.
The women listened to him silently. There was pin drop silence in the kitchen other than Anthony's voice. After Anthony had finished his story, his mother spoke up.
"So, when you went trekking with your sister, you guys came across a meteorite?"
Anthony nodded. Tara looked at her daughter. Marge nodded at her mother.
"That part's true, Mom. I was there with him when the meteor crashed."
Tara made note of her daughter's statement and continued talking.
"An alien came out of the meteor and fused with you. It "merged its genetic material with yours. It wanted you to propagate its genetic material, so it gave you pheromones that made you irresistible to women?"
"Yes," Anthony told his mother.
"Anthony, is this a joke? Are you joking? Is this a joke to you?" Tara asked her son. "Our child could end up being born with a serious genetic defect. This is not a joking matter."
"I'm not joking, Mom. Everything I said was true. How else do you explain this? How else do you explain someone like you sleeping with your own son?"
These words felt like a slap on the face to Tara. She had slept with her own son. Not only had she slept with her own son, she had let him impregnate her. This was not her. She didn't behave like this. She didn't behave like this... before that day when Anthony and Marge went for a hike.
Tara started to slowly believe her son's story. Not only Tara, Liz, Nina and Marge were starting to believe it too. For all of them, it felt like the puzzle pieces were slowly falling in place.
"This is true, isn't it? You're not just telling this to make me keep your child, are you?" Tara asked her son.
"No, Mom. I'm telling the truth," Anthony said. He looked at all three women.
