Such a thing hadn’t even occurred to me, but as I gazed into Grayson’s taut, strained features, I realized he was right. The aliens had already shown they were more than happy to pervert the natural order of life on earth.

“They’ll never find out,” I told him, voice firm even though worry had already begun to gnaw at me. True, Lance and Jeff and everyone else were experts at keeping secrets, but a baby wasn’t something you could exactly hide. I’d just have to trust that they would come up with some kind of explanation for my child. “We can take care of things. I promise.”
He nodded, although he didn’t look all that convinced. “Does anyone else know?”
