They're married for only three years, right? How do they have time to do all this stuff and she hasn't become pregnant like she entered this marriage for? For example, paintings and sculptures don't just pop up every few days; they could take months. And I know some of this can all be happening at the same time. She has to return to the north as some point as well.
I just don't have a grasp on the timeline for this story anymore. How long have they been married?

I'm gonna post this once but some kind people out there made it possible. Excuse me, as I have a lot to read.

Ingrid's mom: "Is he still taking drugs?"
Ingrid: "Yes."
Everyone reading this: No he f*cking isn't and you would know that if you actually talked to him instead of treating him like a lost cause. Right now, your tea drinking has been worse for the baby than anything he has done. He's put in effort and you need to acknowledge that.
Or, you know, he will only find out you are pregnant after you miscarry or something. That seems right up your alley. That way, her family can start beating him up for not knowing sh*t.
This is my favorite edumpster fire but damn. I started on her side, then no one, and now I feel the only one who deserves even the slightest sympathy is Regan because his wife is causing so much drama.

Let's go back to the pre-kidnapped part. I know Ripley is working tirelessly so nosebleeds are understandable but with the swollen feet, I'm thinkin' somethin' else is riding under the radar. Zeronis might be seeing that limited/special edition logo a lot sooner than he thinks. Or a strawberry.
She will go nuts if he won't let her leave the house after all of this.

Nosebleeds are a less well-known pregnancy symptom and can happen at anytime. Swollen feet are more towards the end but she wouldn't have noticed if it weren't for the shoes. Subtle swelling. And we don't have a full time line between when she had that night after her "little dip" into the water. She could have miscarried in that cold of water so I suspect it is their second round that has done it.
I really think she will have a red-headed baby first.
"Why did you bring one umbrella?"
*Me, screaming:* "Because they ship it!"
