"But... with a pregnant woman when the child isn't yours? You truly don't think you would mind?"
Men could be territorial about that. Perhaps it wouldn't be her partner who minded, but Jim. He had never been possessive of her, but she had also abstained from sleeping with anyone else during her pregnancy. If she had slept with other men, how would he have felt about it? And would a man be okay when he felt the kick of a child that wasn't his? She thought that most men she knew back home would not.
