This one's the first of a couple based on Ancient Magic, because daimons who can do things hermetic magic can't, or can't easily, are very interesting as game options. Want to use fertility magic in a game without the years of research required to incorporate it? Invest your effort in finding a way to summon this daimon instead - find her True Name in a grimoire, locate a place of power to summon her, and gather a cabal to conduct the ritual.
Anu, the Mother of the Deeps (Might 30)
A primordial spirit connected to fertility cults that faded away long before the beginning of recorded history. She is rarely mentioned in grimoires as most theurgists are not interested in matters of birthing and motherhood. Still the name persists, and she can be summoned by those seeking fertility and blessings for their children.
She can be most easily summoned in a few places of power: the Tumulus of Bernanez in Britanny, Legannany Dolmen in the north of Ireland, and a passage tomb in Langeneichstadt near Leipzig. There may be others unknown to hermetic theurgists, possibly locations linked to the ancient fertility cult.
She appears as a huge voluptuous matron, always heavily pregnant, and flushed with life. Her hair is a mass of curls and tangles.

Powers:
Mother Goddess, variable points (Init 0)
Anu can replicate any spell that uses the target unborn child (see Ancient Magic for details) at a cost of 1 might per magnitude.
Gift of Fertility, 3 points (Init 0)
This power may only be used on a woman who is fertile (remember, Magi with longevity rituals are infertile). If she has intercourse with a fertile man within a day of this power being used she will conceive a child. If the father is not a human man (being a faerie or some other supernatural humanoid) then she conceives only if she makes a Stamina roll against an ease factor of 9 plus. Such a child is certain to have traits inherited from the father (e.g. Strong Faerie Blood).
Bless this Union, up to 10 points (Init -10)
If invoked to bless the conception of a child (the act of conception must happen with Anu present) the goddess can use her power to influence how the child will grow. The theurge explains what they desire and why, in detail. The goddess determines whether she will grant this gift and decides whether to follow the request of the theurge or to shape the child in some other way she thinks will be better for the child or the mother (or both). She will never do anything she thinks will be harmful to the child.
This acts as a fertility ritual (see Ancient Magic) with a lab total of 100. If the theurge is to be the mother then the lab total is instead 200. The entire lab total is not always used and the traits granted are chosen by the Daimon, not the theurge (though the theurge can ask for a certain outcome).
