I'm still under the belief that, if there is anyone pregnant from the Tower group...it would be Pegs. She appears to have had the only record of an intimate relationship (with Michael, back at the beachhouse). To further this conspiracy, in chapter 25, part 2 at about 21:50, Pegs makes the comment to Michael about "you not getting something." Michaels's response was (drum roll please) "Now is ONE of those times?" Pegs pushes the effort in saying "It's been so long since it was you and I. I just want to to be close to you."

Oh boy. Get ready to pass the cigars Michael. Pray that it's a Burt and not just a boy.
You're right, she was trying to induce a miscarriage (Sure it might not work, but she maybe was too drunk to realize it), and all the vomit was from the morning sickness, not the entire bottle of JD. I suspect she had a fling with the talking zombie, Paul! That is my theory.
