"I don't know!" Faust said shrilly. Taking a deep breath, he said, " I have to go help with the birth... I don't think there's a way we can delay labor, we'll just have to hope that things go all right."

Faust caught his breath at the doorway. "Oh, God..."
Doktor Faust was holding a still, lifeless infant in his blood-drenched hands. Helen lay on the bed, her stomach cut open, but not bleeding.

"What?" Faust VIII asked, pale and expressionless as Doktor Faust cradled the dead, premature infant and sobbed brokenly.

"That was a special case when Marie was born... it was very peculiar," Faust said. "Are you sure?"

Faust shuddered. "I was born dead? I didn't know... but if Mephisto said so..." he went over to Doktor Faust and gently pried the dead infant out of his arms. "What is his name?" he asked, starting to clean the blood off of the child. The blood was warm, which meant that it belonged to him and Doktor Faust.
"He is dead..."
"So is his mother. Give him a chance," Faust instructed softly.

Faust glanced at Netsubo. "Pay her no mind... she was dead before this child was even conceived. But, Doktor Faust, I want to ask you... how long did it take after Margaret's death for you to begin your union with Helen?"

Helen stared at Netsubo, her brown eyes so dark that they almost looked black.
"I waited a year out of respect!" Doktor Faust said. "And then Helen came to me... the face that launched a thousand ships... I wanted my child to look like her. And he does... you see?"
"Is it worth it, though?" Faust asked coldly. Just then, the baby choked, gasped, and startle mewling in a high, thin voice like a cat's.
