probablyincredible replied to your post:I just spent an hour typing up a headcanon about...
i feel like the ‘you’re not..?’ was never explained enough. like. there’s no way ten would assume rose had fucked mickey in the time she was trying to find her way back to him. that’s insane.
He doesn’t say it in a way that is like, shocked??? He sounds (and looks) almost scared when he says it, because how fucking terrifying would that be for him if she was pregnant with his kid? She’s just been sucked into a universe where he can never see her again and she’s about to have an alien baby to look after of course he’d be fucking terrified
But also there’s Rose’s hesitation when she’s like “and the baby”. Like, why would she hesitate if it was Jackie who was pregnant? Why would she hesitate if it was Mickey’s kid?
And also like??? was Jackie’s age?????? She’s at least 40 during that exchange, probably even close to 41. The chances of her getting pregnant, let alone having a safe pregnancy are incredibly slim. And I highly doubt that if she had wanted a second kid, she would have been okay with a twenty year age gap between her kids. It’s not impossible (there’s a 15 year age gap between me and my half brother so) but at her age and with everything going on with Rose and the age gap between her kids, I highly doubt that Jackie would have actually gone through with such a risky pregnancy at her age if she really had been able to conceive at all.
