The Implications Sink In

I don't say any more for a while, trying to take in all the implications. I don't believe in abortion - at least not unless there are strong medical grounds. What can I do? Even if I wasn't pregnant, I could hardly stay at Castle Freydair after Don's marriage. His wife would be bound to wonder what I was doing there, and would surely resent me. And I certainly couldn't remain there when I would be six months pregnant by the time the wedding takes place. In the short term I could continue on this quest with Don, but I am no longer sure that I want to do so. But if I don't, where can I go? From what I've seen of this culture, it's one that doesn't look very kindly on unmarried mothers. What a fool I've been!

But is Don any more to blame for not telling me his big secret, than I am for not telling him mine? I also wonder whether this was what he was telling me he was sorry about in my vision. Has something happened to make the scene occur some four months earlier than it did in my dream?

1. I decide that it's high time I told him about my pregnancy.
2. I decide not to tell him about my pregnancy. I have my pride.
3. I decide not to tell him about my pregnancy. From his expression he's feeling guilty enough already, without my burdening him with that.
