A few days after entering the hospital, Jill and the baby, who they'd named Seth after Jill's father, came home.

Jill looked deflated, a used, hollowed-out shell. The baby--Keith couldn't bring himself to think of it as Seth, yet, could only think of it as it--looked like a tiny collection of pink-purple wrinkles.

Jill's mother had volunteered to stay over for a couple weeks to help with the baby, and Keith stayed out of their way while they talked about such arcane matters as breast feeding vs. bottle feeding and cloth diapers vs. disposable.

He tried to tell himself that it was over, that the baby was here and Jill had survived the nine months of hosting this ... thing, and that was all that mattered.

But the first time he saw Jill breast feeding it, he knew that it wasn't over, that it would never be over. The thing would feed off her--and him--its entire life. If it wasn't stopped.
