I should have taken a second look at the wiki page as there is mention of it Sterility on the part of a vampire or human parent will not hinder the creation of a Fadebeast. However, the necessary components for a fade beast to grow are: a mother's womb, a father's DNA. My bad.
So, follow up questions sorry not sorry Josh
...the impregnation and gestation of a fadebeast is not an entirely physical process.
1a - What would it look like in an ultrasound?
1b - Would there be a bump? Is it freakish Twilight-style swelling?
1c - Would a human mother test positive on a pee stick considering the spirit nature of a fadebeast?
2 - When a Fade Beast leaves its mother's womb, it is not full sized, but will be significantly large than one would guess based on the pregnancy, this is due to the spiritual aspect of the Fadebeast. What is a full sized fadebeast as big as? What size would this be? Could it potentially grow as it exists, 'gathering' shadow mass so to speak of? Or would it come all parts 'assembled' from the womb?
I'm gearing up to write a pretty graphic, tragic solo thread, and it will involve an impregnated human dying, and I'm trying to get a better feel as to what I could and couldn't write leading up to and during the actual birthing scene.
back when alex got knocked up I asked a lot of questions that might be helpful for you... they were added into the quicklook post by River Illia below;
David also was consulted throughout that thread, if you wanted to take a peek it might be helpful? :) <3River Illia wrote:List of Canon Questions asked to date.

Vampire Pregnancy:
- What physical reactions would she experiences that would be different from human ones? I understand they grow at a faster rate.
- And what sort of damage are we talking about that she would suffer when it (the fadebeast) was born (talking stat wise here, I get the whole ripped to heck idea) and can that be done on grid to reflect what happened? If I was to have her 'die' from the event, would have have to find another way to send her to the sr? Even if I had someone summon a fadebeast npc, that isn't going to kill her and would rather her 'death wound' was accurate.
- On the fadebeasts and vampire pregnancy thing - If a vampire was sterile as a mortal either naturally or via some sort of surgery, does that continue to hold true for them as a vampire?
- If it's more about spirit then genetics, then why would a condom help prevent vampire pregnancy?
- Oh! And if it's not about genetics, does that mean two guys or two girls could end up having a baby?
