William and Julia set the adoption process in motion for a boy. This takes a little while based on their different religions, since adoption agencies at the time were generally faith-based. In the meantime, Julia does her medical searching. Finally their little boy arrives and not long after Julia miraculously gets pregnant and has a girl. hahaha, that's cheating.  Thanks for the interesting point about the faith-based adoption agencies. I wonder if the spouse would an obstacle for either Protestant or Catholic agencies? |

The writers are not going to be able to do an end-run around the religion issue. It will have to be addressed one way or another.
It's not cheating if it's a form of fanfic. I want them both to be happy. There have been really good arguments made for both a boy or a girl. I went with a boy much earlier in the thread but we've mostly exhausted the 'either/or' scenarios so I'm just spicing it up. Hehe.

There's a thread somewhere that has invoked the idea that William *might* have another child out there already, and that *might* present either an obstacle to the upcoming marriage or a complication to the marriage after it happens. I guess it's not original, but I sort of want it to happen because it will bring back both William's attitudes about contraception (and male responsibility) and Julia's angst about not being able to have a child of her own. please don't kill me

Ya, I read that idea and ran away. Much as I like Anna, I couldn't stand it if she had William's child, out of wedlock no less. How could William have a relationship with his child without a)the Black Hand killing Anna or b) William and Julia raise the child so Anna can go back into hiding, so she loses her child. That is too angsty even for you, certainly for me.

That is too angsty even for you, certainly for me. It is super angsty. But if William did "do the deed" with Anna - and there is a contingent around here who would say William's relationship with Anna was better than his relationship with Julia, then it's possible a child could result. And if a child did result, William would take responsibility for it. I'm sure William would continue to stand by Julia, especially if they were already married. But Julia has an awful habit of taking preemptive strikes against anxiety-provoking situations. If this occurred before the marriage, Julia might step out. If William were confronted with a child during the marriage, Julia would still feel threatened. It's not too angsty for me! In fact, IMHO, it could save MM if everyone starts to get bored with William and Julia working out little marital problems while William deals with the same old mysteries. My only other solution was to send Julia on a voyage across the sea to seek fertility treatment and sink the ship, so that William doesn't know what happened to her! Something terrible has to happen to shake things up.  |

Oh the unfairness of it all! I hate that angst is the fodder that fuels television success. I'm a happily-ever-after girl. Waaaaaaa. Can we please just get them married first, (Julia walks down aisle in beautiful bluish gown), THEN we can proceed to the inevitable angst?

You're right - they aren't even married yet. Let's look forward to that! I'm sure the marriage will happen this year: the "trolling" by the cast does not seem mean-spirited. Maybe I'm in denial about the dress.  |

Carco said they were filming the wedding in Galt yesterday. They've been keeping it very quiet because they don't want a huge crowd of fans to deal with. Enter The Location Shoot Stalker...

Yep we got many pics, including a dress I Am Not Pleased With.  I have been calling it the Anne of Green Gables dress and assuming a "shotgun wedding" of some sort. But it does seem at some point William and Julia get to make use of a nice open coach. You can see it in the foreground of this pic. Bill Brioux called the big church wedding a "dream sequence". I'm hoping this is also a "dream sequence", and perhaps none of us have seen the real wedding. I want Julia to have a classy dress. She's waited almost a decade to marry William!!! (This is what carco saw live, btw) |

If that's the dress then it's a 'nightmare sequence'. I agree with you that Julia deserves a beautiful dress when she finally marries the love of her life.

At least William is wearing his spiffy top hat.  I can imagine an extended dream sequence where various wedding scenarios are imagined and "obstructed" in some way... (including Anna running in with a child, lol)...but in the end the actual marriage is carried off without a hitch! |

I can get on board with that. Just give me those "I do's" (and a pretty dress) and I'll be happy.

Hi everyone! We all know that William wants to have children and Julia is not or at least seems not opposed to the idea. But if they had one and only one child, would you prefer they have a boy OR a girl? I don't want to put a cart before the horse but I'm just curious to know your opinion. In my vision the child is an infant A last thing! Play the game. Do not tell "both" or twins -a boy AND a girl- because I said "one and only one child". My two cents worth: after a year or so of marriage and working out the kinks ( think what you want about "kinks" those of you who like to talk about ties and hats and such!;-)) they apply to adopt a child, a boy because Julia knows William has always wanted a son. Lo and behold, the orphanage makes a mistake, and they end up with a girl! I know, so Anne of Green Gables, but so Canadian, no? at first there is talk of sending her back, but William falls in love with the little angel. In my story the child is an infant, not like Anne, though. It could be interesting: I adored the story of Anne SHIRLEY; Anne with an "e"  . I saw all the movies and read the books and I'm not Canadian. It could be a newborn and they could find out that the baby boy that they waited for is, in reality, a baby girl when they have to change his nappy -or rather her nappy! Victor??? Victoria! However Julia will have to convince William to open a investigation . |

I used the term "butcher" in order to make you understand that at this time an abortion was more a slaughter than a medical/surgical act during which the uterus could be cut/ripped -the butcher used some "tools" -not always sterilized- to catch the fetus to drag it out of the body without even thinking about the consequences for the uterine wall- so women could die from a massive haemorrhage or from an infection and then hysterectomy was the only requiered way to save them. That's why she knew without a doubt that she can not have a baby. Could it have somehow been partial? Or could Dr. Tash have used cauterization as use mentioned earlier? Can you please rephrase your questions? |

I think snacky was wondering if Julia had a partial hysterectomy rather than a complete one; or was Dr. Tash able to use a cauterization technique to stop the bleeding before it got to a point where she would have to have a hysterectomy. We still have NO idea what Julia's statement "I almost died" really meant.
