...but while it is obviously fable that Christ had a child with Mary; it is also palpably plausible that he had a very special relationship with her. After all, according to every one of the synoptic Gospels as well as the Gospel of John, she is the first person to see the risen Jesus!

Christ had "very special relationships" with many people. In fact, there are millions who would say that He has "very special relationships" with them right now.

Are you deducing that he was first seen by Mary because he had some kind of sexual relationship with her???

Part of the reason that Christ first appeared to women has to do with the status of women at the time, and with later substantiation of the claims of resurrection.
