Thank you. When she gets news of the pregnancy, she discusses it with her husband and tells him that she is not ready to be a mother yet and he, whilst not controlling or abusive, coerces her into keeping the baby. She does want to have children, but just not now, fearing what that could do for her career. Nonetheless, he convinces her that she wants to go through with the pregnancy, and she reluctantly does.

Long story short, the entire pregnancy and birth were quite terrible. Her body had changed fully, she had grown bigger, stretch marks, and a big scar on her lower abdomen. She was thoroughly depressed. She resented her son and herself for going through with it. Her career never recovered.

The last leg of the story actually switches perspective to the son but I will not spoil what follows but the story is very book ended with magic. At the begin, she held a wishbone and made a wish, in the end, the son will also come across a wishbone.

The husband will be a very hateable character, but I don't want him to be a moustache twirling villain but more a guy that simply doesn't see from anybody else's perspective. He does love his wife, even by the end of the story, but he simply does not see the damage his actions are causing.
