Why Didn't Justine Just Abort?
Mira:
--- Quote from: Arjan on August 03, 2020, 01:55:54 PM ---Harry's reaction is understandable. I would be very reluctant to ask about abortion when someone tells me his wife is pregnant. I assume that if someone tells me they already have decided to keep the child and then starting about abortion would be wrong on so many levels.
We do not know what Thomas and Justine brought to their decision but those decisions are seldom completely rational anyway.

Suddenly in the middle of this conversation, enter Carlos and up and coming talks and him wanting Harry on security detail. Great misdirection because the conversation about the decision never comes up. Perhaps Harry wouldn't ask, "have you considered aborting?" At the same time Harry never asked if there is any way to keep the mother safe? Or never got the chance. I still think this has everything to do with the wheel dealing that went on off page between Mab and Lara.

Except Lara didn't know about the baby.

You don't know that for sure, I am not sure she is telling the truth here, especially if it is related at all to the current events. Lara needs plausible deniability.. Also logically if Justine is in that much danger from the embryo Hunger, who is Thomas going to consult first? His brother, who is a powerful wizard but hardly an expert on gestating White Court Hunger demons? Or his sister, who has been around a lot longer than both of them and seen a lot of pregnancies of this nature including Margaret Lefay? Thomas admitted to doing a bit of research on the subject. Just connecting the dots, I think it is all related.

He trusts his brother more than his sister.

Maybe, but the Thomas at the end of Turn Coat trusted his sister a lot more than his brother on matters concerning White Court Vamps. Remember their talk in the zoo?
