Abstract
Does even the Devil have a right to a loving family? What duties do you owe your partner in a breakup? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Preston is scraping by, living a miserable life when there is a knock at the door. It is Stephanie, the woman who, ten years earlier, broke off their wedding plans just weeks before their wedding day, without explanation. This caused Preston to go into a downward spiral he has never recovered from. Stephanie is at Preston’s door because she has a problem, she wants to start a family with her older wife, but has been unable to get pregnant. According to doctors, Stephanie has a rare recessive gene that keeps her from getting pregnant from anyone else except those with the same recessive gene. Preston has that gene; she knows this because she was pregnant when they were dating and terminated the pregnancy without telling him. Stephanie argues her case saying, “even the devil deserves a chance at a loving family.” She doesn’t want Preston in her life, but she feels she owes it to her partner to have at least asked. Preston says he will think about it.
