	Gogjali, Iraq (CNN)Umm Al&#39;aa will never tell her son who his father is.</p>
<p>
	He&#39;s an ISIS fighter who raped her while she was a prisoner of the terror group.</p>
<p>
	Now 40 years old, she was a mother and a grandmother before being kidnapped and held captive for a year and a half. She has a child who&#39;s younger than her grandchild.</p>
<p>
	But he&#39;s just as much a part of their family despite his grim beginning, she says.</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	<strong>&#39;You will be our slave&#39;</strong></p>
<p>
	Umm Al&#39;aa is a pseudonym. To protect her, the woman is not being identified. Her neighbors in Mosul were ISIS supporters but she and her family refused to pledge allegiance to them.</p>
<p>
	The terror group has been in control of the city since 2014.</p>
<p>
	ISIS fighters regularly came to their home to threaten them into submission.</p>
<p>
	One day, they beat her daughter, tore off her headscarf and ripped her clothes.</p>
<p>
	They wanted to rape her daughter, she said, but the man in charge did not let them.</p>
<p>
	&quot;We want the mother,&quot; she recalled him saying.</p>
<p>
	A few days later, they came for her when she was at the market. When they ordered her into a car she thought death was imminent.</p>
<p>
	She was wrong.</p>
<p>
	&quot;&#39;You will be our slave,&#39;&quot; she said, recalling their words.</p>
<p>
	For more than a year she lived as a prisoner, &quot;like a dead person, but they had not killed me yet.&quot;</p>
<p>
	&nbsp;</p>
<p>
	<strong>&#39;He&#39;s my son&#39;</strong></p>
<p>
	Toward the end of her captivity one of her captors beat and raped her.</p>
<p>
	&quot;I tried to fight, I cried a lot. There was a lot of pain, I was beaten a lot, but I couldn&#39;t do anything,&quot; she told CNN&#39;s Arwa Damon.</p>
<p>
	By the time she was released she was pregnant with a son.</p>
<p>
	She named Mohammed after her husband, who was killed on Tuesday amid battles on Mosul&#39;s eastern outskirts where Iraqi and coalition forces are battling ISIS fighters.</p>
<p>
	&quot;My best memory of him was how much he loved and respected me,&quot; she said. &quot;Yes we are poor people, but we were happy.&quot;</p>
<p>
	The boy may be a product of rape but he&#39;s still her son. Their son.</p>
<p>
	&quot;I am not going to tell him who his father is. That his dad is ISIS. He&#39;s my son, he&#39;s not ISIS&#39; son.&quot;</p>
