Initially I thought, maybe it's because
Riley doesn't want the baby. But, as anyone who watched "I Love Lucy" growing up, everyone knows that smokin' & drinkin' while pregnant was part of pre-natal care in the '50's. Probably won't work as an abortion option, even today, despite all the surgeon generals' warnings.
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.
