Jocelyn felt her blood pressure rising from the frustration. They simply just did not understand. She was going to get out of this marriage. Either the easy way or the hard way. Unfortunately, it looked like the hard way. She was simply not going to give that idea up. She would only accept the marriage if she could have her job. Edgar wasn't going to allow it though, and she wasn't going to procreate with a man she didn't even like to begin with. Maybe somehow, some way, she could give Evelyn her dream of being married to the man she loves. Until that day comes, she would keep postponing the wedding.<br/><br/>After she tuned out the verbal objections by the doctor and midwife, she listened in to hear that the man was indeed injured. He was limp? That certainly seemed odd. Maybe he was finicky about who examined him? Still, she could see why Doctor Allerton and the midwife would be rather skeptical. However, something seemed to click when the doctor also mentioned a pregnant maid coming to the clinic. She could find a way into that manor yet! She could volunteer time at the manor to help the maid. She had come up with a quick scheme, and hopefully it paid off.<br/><br/>"Just one moment, the maid is pregnant? Do you have an estimate on how far along? She certainly does not need to be doing all the work a regular maid shall do. That would only just cause unwanted stress and complications for her and the unborn baby. That is certainly not acceptable! The ill man must be out of his bloody mind if he wants her to work under those conditions. No, no, I will not have this. After she gets her visit, I'm going to walk up to that manor and give him a piece of my mind! He shouldn't put that much of a burden on a woman with child. She needs to enjoy her time pregnant, and to prepare for the birth of God's gift to her."  it certainly was a speech on it's own, and hopefully the two elders bought it. To be fair though, she was right. Any unneeded stress could cause complications in pregnancy or even cause miscarriage.
