 		Loose Cannon: to tell the truth
http://forums.unfiction.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=33921#33921

Meg sounds like she is getting to ultimatem stage with Jake. Meg talked about the baby kicking in her blog.

Jake made a brief mention of Theresa a doctor who checked out the animals and personnel who did hops, to check for cellular damage.

I don't think anyone at NRU knew Jake had hopped when he went disappearing in the last timeline. We don't know what effect hopping has on Meiosis, the genetic inheritance the baby gets from the parents. If Jake passed on damaged DNA they may be in for a rude shock.

I think Meg needs to be told. If only to check on the baby's health.

Yes, I am a loose cannon, but I am giving you a chance to express your opinions before I tell her anything.

We have an opportunity to either make Meg a bigger part in the story, or marginalize her into near non existance.

 		i'm voting for 'a limited amount' at this stage because i'm concerned about the stress the whole truth and nothing but the truth would cause her at the moment.

can we get meg and jake somewhere approximating the same page and hope that he starts to fill her in on some things himself.

glad you started this poll and were feeling this way magesteff. i was starting to feel like we were deceiving meg by not coming out with what we know.

 		I don't think she will beleve us. But we must tell her, but we should tell her slowly, and not everything at once.

 		What to do
I am changing my mind. I thought at first that we should tell Meg everything. Doing so, however, gives her two choices: (a) she can not believe us and cut off all contact from us or (b) she believes us, but we have no solution to her problems. How does that make her life better?

We need to keep giving her moral support and encouragement at this point. The last thing we need to do is make her concerned about the welfare of the baby. To bring up anything that would suggest she could have a problem with the baby would just be cruel.

I know that it is tempting to try to get her to see the truth, but I don't think we can until we can offer her hope.

 		This baby is from a Jake who haven't travelled time - so he/she should be safe from cellular damage.
Only the child from the other timeline may be vulnerable to this effect.
I believe she would need moral support now. One or two person might start preparing her for the informations, but I guess we aren't all needed for this - so a group of us might be able to give moral support while others telling her the truth.
I suppose it's unneccessary for her to know all these, also she wouldn't believe us in this timeline.

 		Re: What to do
I believe now, as I believed before, that telling Meg about what's going on can only hurt us. As rose said above, the best possible result of us telling her is that she'll believe us but be (even more of an) emotional wreck, because her husband is no longer the person she married. And at the worst case scenario, she'll react as she reacted when PastaBagel brought it up, and possibly even cut us off altogether.

It's high time she accept that she is a small part of a reality that she can not possibly begin to understand. While this is her reality and the only one she must learn to accept that there is more to this life than she knows and as soon as she can beginning to accept it they will be so much happier. Or she will leave his ass hanging in the wind a total lunatic. Evil or Very Mad
