The odds against any particular individual existing are astounding.

Roughly one hundred million sperm are in the typical volume of semen that one ejaculates during a sexual encounter. A woman can only become pregnant roughly a quarter of the time, and a conservative estimate for miscarriages is roughly twenty-five percent, most of which happen without the woman ever knowing she was pregnant. The ova is one of hundreds that will be viable within a woman's lifetime. The chances of any particular individual winning the conception lottery and being born are quadrillions to one against.

And yet, despite the odds, a nigh-microscopic not-yet individual is growing in the womb of one Mary Anne McGee.

Angels ejaculate?

Sometimes with very poor aim.

Or very good aim and very poor manners, I'd assume.

Oh, with him, it's anyone's guess. At least he offers to wash my hair sometimes afterward.

And they say Lucifer was selfish. That's outright considerate!

He even cooks in an apron.

You know, even if you can't eat it, every woman's a sucker for a guy in an apron and nothing but making them pancakes.

I doubt Gigi would want me anywhere near a kitchen. She's quite aware that I have the cooking skills of a neanderthal.

Oh, but I'm sure she finds that attractive.

I'm positive she'd find it more attractive if I went hunting for her, instead.

Oh, I'm sure, the whole bloodletting thing being erotic and all that, and you're pretty to begin with. I had fun at your wedding, by the way, you two are gorgeous together.

Thank you, Mary. I know I'm a trophy husband, but when it comes to that, at least she picked the best there is.

No, not a trophy husband! More like...a gift.

That was the most braggy birth announcement I've ever seen. Well. Conception announcement.

It's the only part of the process where I have an equal amount of influence. From here on out, you're providing all the nutrients and raw material for growing a person. I have no more room to be braggy.

But you'll feed me, and that helps.

Congratulations. And while I doubt it's the first for either of you, here's a refresher course for you on infant care.

Ah, well in that case you're welcome.

My would-be daughter's father-in-law sent that to me when I was pregnant with my son, figured I should pass it on.

Oh come on, can't you take a joke? You're supposed to be Lucifer pre hissy fit.

I'm making progress. I used the word "please." I didn't lead a third of your dominion in open rebellion. It's a step.

There's the little angel with moxie that I know and love!

I'm happy for you, Lucy. A baby is more precious than anything in the world.

I wish I could have one.
