"Out with it, what's got you all changed up? Did that jerk Walter stir up s again?" Roslyn figured if Evangeline hit the bar and skipped the booze, it had to be something monumental, something beyond her wildest guesses. "Does having a kid count?" If getting knocked up was the kind of in question, then yes, Walter had definitely stirred up something. "What did you just say?" Roslyn shot up like she had been zapped, her eyes as wide as saucers, fixed on Evangeline's still-not-showing belly.
"Aren't you and Walter headed for divorce? And now there's a baby on the way?" Could they actually be patching things up? Yikes. She had just called Walter a total jerk. She hoped Evangeline was not too mad.

Cole's health was on the rocks, and no one knew how much the had left. As his only granddaughter, she felt it was her duty to grant his last wish and carry on the family name.
Walter? Well, they were still married, technically. She could not let her child be one without a father. Plus, she had to admit, a part of her wanted to have a baby with the man she once adored.
a 'But you can't just have a baby with him!" Roslyn had seen enough in her own family to last a lifetime.

She was Evangeline's best friend. She would never let her dive headfirst into disaster.
"No." Evangeline caught on to Roslyn's worries and quickly soothed them, " The divorce is still on. It's just about having a baby. The Fosters have enough cash. Why would I put myself through misery for the kid?" "You've got a point." Roslyn's anxiety eased, her common sense kicking back in, though her eyes were still clouded with concern. "Still, being a single mom's no easy feat." "So what? Grandpa's tis running short, and the least I can do is fill his final days with joy." Evangeline's words had clearly struck a chord with Roslyn.
"Don't fret, though. The kid's dad may be absent, but he's got me, his awesgodmother, right? Listen up, Evie, I'm taking up godmother duties, boy or girl!" Roslyn declared, thumping her chest with a playful resolve that coaxed a chuckle out of Evangeline. "Deal! With you as a godmother, I'm way less worried!" Evangeline had made up her mind to raise the child alone, and she felt a pang of guilt for her child's fatherless future ahead.

The shadows cast by Walter's actions faded away, and Evangeline's heart was filled with visions of her as filled unborn child's face, even if it was still just a tiny, shapeless zygote somewhere in transit. A thought suddenly hit Roslyn.
