The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Exposure to Magic?
Bacchus:
I still think that magic ability would have to be interwoven with our core body systems/central nervous system. Dresden first did magic in grade school but i say since before his birth it was already inside him
specificlly it would be forming in the first trimester of the pregnancy like almost all of that stuff does.
this magic forming in a fetus should be by far the most susceptible to outside influence during this time.
Just like the first 2 months or so is when all the craziest and worst birth defects form on humans and the risk to the fetus from drugs is the highest.
also Charity had just been rescued from death by a knight in shining armor along with some love at first sight stuff. Its easily possible they got the order of things wrong, got pregnant the first night, then spent a week in a magic lair cleaning up the mess left behind by a dead dragon and cultists.
Susan early pregnancy would have been running around south America with supernaturals spying on supernaturals.

She may well have offered, but Michael is staunchly Catholic. I seriously doubt that he'd have had premarital sex. It's just not something he could do.
Also, why would they spend any time cleaning up the magic lair, let alone a week? They weren't going to take his hoard and they're not going to be staying there.
Bacchus:
um not trying to be insulting but that's an area where human nature conflicts with religions and its an often broken rule.
being staunchly religious doesn't mean you've never missed the mark or made mistakes.
about staying around, yeah your kinda right, i could think of a lot of minor wounds that could keep him from hiking out for a few days but i know I'm kinda stretching now

Yes, but we're talking about Michael here. He has his flaws, but for the most part he's not someone who lets his base human urges overcome his faith and beliefs.

This makes sense.

Agreed. Also, given that he is the wielder of Amoracchius, I don't see him sleeping with anyone he doesn't love, and he'd just met Charity.
Also, we don't know exactly when Charity gave up her magic. She could have not worked to give it up until Michael proposed to her, because she wanted to be worthy of him or something--it's pretty clear that she thinks of magic as a bad thing, but not the kind of ultimate evil that would require her to give up magic in order to think of herself as anything but a monster. I can see her thinking of herself as a not-particularly-good person after the dragon thing, given that the person making deals with the dragon and feeding people to it was essentially her mentor, so she might not have thought she could be a really good person even if she did give up her magic until Michael convinced her otherwise.
