Mr. and Mrs. Star waited nervously in the small, cramped hospital room. The doctor had whisked away the infant as soon as it was born and had to place it into observation. After a few hours the door opened and Mr. and Mrs. Star looked to see the doctor enter into the room.

"Mr. and Mrs. Star," the doctor said, "your little baby boy is going to pull through."

"Oh thank the heavens!" Mrs. Star said as her husband put his arm around her. They both let out a relieved sigh.

"I wouldn't thank the heavens yet." The doctor said, approaching them slowly. "There's something I need to tell you about your son." He turned to the door. "Well, more something that I need to show you." The stars exchanged worried glances. "Bring him in, nurse." The doctor called out.

The nurse carried in a small bundle of blankets and placed them into Mrs. Star's arms. She slowly unwrapped the blanket. "Oh my god!" she exclaimed, dropping the newborn baby on the floor. "What the fuck is wrong with it?" She cried out and burst into tears. Mr. Star just sat there, frozen, unable to move.

"I'm sorry," the doctor said, "but your baby was born ugly." The sounds of the wailing mother were heard down the halls of the hospital.
