--- Quote from: Snark Knight on September 18, 2017, 12:52:04 PM ---Other problem - the first chapter of PT refers to Thomas being concerned about Justine's safety because a fetal whampire draws energy from the mother to such a degree that many mortal women carrying a vampire child die in pregnancy.
To use the gas tank metaphor for supernatural energy reserves, Justine was already running on fumes after that encounter with Thomas. I just don't see her surviving a dangerous pregnancy while still recovering.

On the other hand ... one of the reasons the vamps like Justine so much is because she is such a large source of emotions for them to feed on. Yes, I know that Thomas was the only one, but that's what Justine says while in the laundry room in Bianca's basement.
So, it's entirely possible for her to survive it. In fact, a parasite like a Wampire baby could totally have evened out Justine.

Other than the fact that I believe you meant Death Masks, everything you say pans out. I know, however, that it is known in the outfit that Marcone 'disappears' anyone having to do with trafficking or abusing children; however, I doubt that anyone suspects it's because he has an emotional weakness. More like, it's assumed that the risk-reward for such criminal endeavors is stupidly unbalanced, or that the act is just simply one of many limitation of the amount of criminal activity permissable, just like the violent in-fighting. Marcone’s reorganization of organized crime likely had several new guidelines like that.
exartiem:
Thinking about it more, if I remember correctly, one of the first lines of the next book is Thomas telling Harry that he's an uncle. Are we assuming this means Justine is pregnant? Could it be that he just found out about his child and is recruiting Harry to rescue her from the Fomor?

--- Quote from: Peace Talks ---My brother ruined a perfectly good run by saying, “Justine is pregnant.”

It's a fair assumption, yes.
raidem:
Exart they are distinct events and stories. In next book Justine is pregnant.
Even hand occurs many years before peace talks.
