Can't see her wanting a child unless she had a Husband that she really trusted to be the sort of father that she'd want for herself. And one that would be prepared to do a lot of child care whilst she taught etc.

digressing, I can't see crystal planning to have kids, but would be a good mother if one came along accidently. Nanci I'm afraid would turn up one day as a single mother. Jon and Tanisha probably will have a kid, but find they need lots of help (might be a shock for 'aunty' Jennlynn!).

I' afraid that I must agree with DotB. Myleigh having a child would be a mine field of trouble... unless the story were developed into a whole book, in which you would deal with ALL of the problems. Myleigh is a complex woman with a ton of baggage, but as BotB said it is entirely your call.
