A few months passed after Mabel announced that she was pregnant.
In the meantime, Lothur's family had several conversations about the subject, what they should do about it, and their previous plans.
There were several points to consider, and the family was divided on what to do.
For example, Elke and Annaliese thought they should all stay and raise this child until he became a Saint. After that, they would leave as planned, leaving Blood and Smoke to help Lothur's first offspring.
But Viktoria and Rebecca saw things differently. They felt the best demonstration of love was not to give Lothur's descendant everything he needed. The best thing they could do would be to give him the chance to grow up and become important on his own merits.
