  <abstract>"Special Delivery" by Damon Knight is a science fiction short story published in 1954. When Len and Moira Connington expect their first child, something extraordinary happens: their unborn baby begins communicating through Moira, revealing himself as a precocious genius named Leo. As Leo's intellect rapidly develops, he makes increasingly demanding requests—learning languages, dictating novels, and asserting control over the household. The couple must navigate the unsettling reality of their brilliant but domineering child, leading to an inevitable confrontation between parental authority and Leo's fierce independence. (This is an automatically generated summary.)</abstract>
