"Still no change." Luna asked when she met Andrew and Vicky at the hospital a few weeks later.
Physically Marty was fine, so the hospital moved her to the psychiatric wing.
"Well, she moves on her own and if you guide her hand during meals a couple times she'll eventually start eating by herself. But she hasn't spoken." Vicky answered.
"She just stares with such a blank look in her eyes, as if there is nothing at all behind them." Andrew added.
"Oh dear Goddess. This is just awful."
"It gets worse or more complicated depending on how you look at it." Andrew added.
"What do you mean?" Luna said concerned.
"Larry just told us, it turns out she's pregnant."
"What!" Luna exclaimed. "What's going to happen?"
"We don't know."
"Plead guilty!" Todd shouted.
"It's your best bet, Todd." Albert Simmons said.
"Look, I know your just some public defender but if that's the best advice you're going to give to me, I'd rather defend myself." Todd said.
"I'm telling you the same thing any lawyer would. Look at the facts Todd. They have your fingerprints at the scene of the crime not to mention yourself was there too. Your past is enough motive plus your hair matches the samples they found in the ski mask."
"I was set up. How many times do I have to say it?"
"It doesn't matter. You claimed you were innocent in the past. People aren't going to be quick to take your word. But if we plea bargain, you'll get a guaranteed reduced sentence."
"But I'll still go to jail."
"Yeah, but if this goes to trial chances are you'll be convicted, and you'll go to jail for a much much much longer time than you would if we try to bargain with the D.A."
"Alright fine, you go talk to Hank and see how much he's willing to give and then I'll think about taking his offer."
A few weeks later, Kevin and Powell were talking in the living room when Vicky walked in.
"Hi Mom, where you been?" Kevin asked.
"I just came back from visiting Marty."
"How's she doing?" Kevin asked solemnly.
"The same. It's so sad, she had really gotten her life together and now..." Vicky's voice caught in her throat with emotion. "It's not only her, she has a child on the way."
"That's right, she's pregnant." Kevin shook his head in sadness for his friend. Marty didn't deserve this. None of it. He tried not to but occasionally he'd think back to the spring fling. He'd cringe whenever he thought about his role in what happened to her. He brought her there and basically served her up on the platter for Todd and the others when he left her in his room drunk and alone. But he had no idea how crazy Todd was. No one saw it coming and of course no one thought that as awful as spring fling was, it really ended up being the tip of the ice berg. For Todd to manipulate the system enough to be pardoned solely to get his ultimate revenge on Marty. It didn't make sense. But that's what happened, no matter how much Todd still tried to deny it.
"Well can't she have an abortion." Powell's question interrupting Kevin's thoughts.
"Well, no. Marty has no other family besides her Aunt Kiki, who nobody's been able to reach, therefore no one can make that decision for her. I don't even think it would matter if she had family here. I suppose if Marty gets better soon that would be a possibility. But no one, other than Marty, can know for sure when the child was conceived. We cannot assume it was a result of what happened to her.
"So what's going to happen to the baby, if Marty never gets better." Powell asked.
"Well let's just hope we do not have to find out." Vicky said.
