And her true test will come after she gives birth to this "miracle." If I remember correctly, in the "Lullaby" promo, Angel says this child is a miracle.

Yep, and I wonder what miracles this child can perform. I wonder if one all has to do is look into the his eyes to fall instantly in love with him.

No wonder the child isn't a girl.

Oo, now that would be great if the people at ANGEL uncovered that mystery. A Darla reclaimed by society would be something to see. I keep thinking about Shajun's "show no mercy" and I speculate Holtz will show Angel mercy at the last minute in "Lullaby," but what about Darla? If he does show Darla mercy then I wonder what will come about from Darla in order for that to happen.

Oops, hard to tell.

I think that when this is all over with (and I speculate the baby will be kidnapped in episode 11), Darla will be left to take care of the baby. We'll see, but it's just a feeling. I think you already voiced that thought beforehand.
