SOLVED. Adult Fiction: Horror-ish? End of world as we know it / 3 evil-ish psychic children / girl is pregnant with ‘upgraded’ version of evil-ish psychic child. [s]

Read in hard copy
Probably late 90’s, early 00’s
I was reading a lot of Dean Koontz but can’t connect the blurbs.
Possibly a short story or part of a compilation

The end scene (I think) is sticking with me, so spoilers.

The 3 kids: around 10, 2 boys, 1 girl. Think they’re brothers & sister. They are psychic and have used their abilities to help bring about the chaos that burning the world down.

They are sitting on the beach, watching the world burn in the distance and discussing something like how they are the next level of humans so it doesn’t matter how everyone else is dying. But then they realise that the unborn baby (incest) seems to be more powerful than they are, so that could be a problem.

Thanks

THANK YOU! That scene was disturbing and has been tickling the back of my neck for years because I can’t remember the rest of it.
