Since it has come to light that Scratch had an abortion that left her "scarred" we assume that this means that she can no longer have children of her own. We also know that family means a lot to her. Since her brother is dead then she is probably the last living heir to her family and she has no one to pass the family ring to. So could it be possible that she is protecting Lizzy and her baby not just because of her experiences and loss but because she intends to take the baby as her own and off Lizzy to continue her family line? This may be a stretch but she was playing with her family ring while she was in with Lizzy during the checkup.
I do love the fact that Scratch protects and is putting Lizzie above some duties (she had to get a direct order from Durai to not go right away with Lizzie and Bricks to the doc), she probably doesn't want women losing their babies like she did. Lizzie brings lots of painful memories and even makes Scratch rethink her duty to the family in order to avenge her brother (I'll guess Scratch already had doubts about the families and their black and white rules from the get go).

That being said, if Scratch is aware of the messed up rules and burdens a family put in their members, she wouldn't want Lizzie and the baby to get involved in it... And from what I head in chapter 32-1, Lizzie wouldn't want anything to do with that and Scratch even if she were to be offered a position there.

I'm kinda sad because I think Lizzie has the credentials to help Scratch a bit, with all her psychology powers and baby momma aura, but now with the Burt situation and Angel's death (which I don't think was a bad thing... since he was VERY messed up... but whatever, who will be rational about this, right? pff...) Lizzie wants to screw Scratch to death. Because that's what will happen if Durai says "ok that was against family rules, I don't care if he was dying".

However, IF Durai is OK with Angel's death, Scratch and Lizzie's (sorta kinda) relationship will be strained with that double backstabbing situation. Sadly, I don't see a way for them to mend things or for Scratch to end up alive :/

Now excuse me while I go over there to cry for my favorite psycho....
