After thinking about it, it’s looking like two possible scenarios:
SCENARIO A
-Jillian takes birth control pills. She still gets pregnant, and it’s most likely Lyle’s baby.
-Jillian does not take birth control pills. She gets pregnant.
-If the MC is male, the baby is the MC’s.
-If the MC is not male, the baby is Lyle’s.
SCENARIO B
-Jillian takes birth control pills. She does not get pregnant.
-Jillian does not take birth control pills. She gets pregnant.
-If the MC is male, the baby is the MC’s.
-If the MC is not male, the baby is Lyle’s.
Personally, I prefer A. In this way, Jillian is always pregnant, even if you’re not in a relationship with her. In this way, you get to see the impact of a pregnant survivor on the group regardless of your relationship with her. It’s also a lot easier for me to write. Otherwise, Jillian has this major switch between games that I have to account for.
