The Family Way

Had a strange conversation with Hannah tonight. She told me she thinks she might be pregnant. Now obviously, with a priest-in-training as a boyfriend there would be serious ramifications if she is, as either she’s doing the dirty on him or he’s doing the dirty on his religion and could be about to lose his church and his family. But in my head all that fell away to make place for this one selfish thought - “if she is pregnant my life will be Hellish because it’ll just fire Philippa’s maternal fire even further.”
Bad brother? Bad husband? Maybe, but hey - good or bad, right or wrong - I am what I am.
