We have never been given any clue as to what happened to Julia other than she experienced a badly done abortion and nearly died as a result. I have always been confused about why she insisted on prophylactics is TGM if she knew she was sterile. You've suggested it was her was of slowing things down. I don't think Wm was ever even thinking of going that far...they were in a public park. He'd have to arrest himself for lewd or indecent behaviour!!
I prefer your other theory that Julia wasn't sure what was possible re babies until she went to Dr. Tash in "Shades of Grey" and that subject was part of her conversation with him.
It's also possible that it was a severe infection that made her so sick, not bleeding, and medical knowledge at the time just assumed that sterility was the only outcome under the circumstances.

I don't think Wm was ever even thinking of going that far...they were in a public park. He'd have to arrest himself for lewd or indecent behaviour!! Even if you give William that credit, Julia still looked like she was trying to get William to slow down a bit. She'd been waiting for him to ask her out on a date for a few years, and here he was packing all that passion into one night! Also this might make me a prude (and honestly I don't know what I'd do if I were out on a date with Yannick Bisson), but I don't sleep with guys on the first date no matter how hot they are. And these days it's a lot harder to find "excuses" why not than in Victorian times, especially now that men are all hyper about being "friend zoned". I like to be romanced a little first. In Julia's case, perhaps she was following the Victorian "playbook" that's supposed to lead up to a proposal of marriage? Remember what your Mom always told you: "Why buy the cow when you can have the milk for free." Anyway, it was clear that, for whatever reason, Julia thought William was going to go too far, or that he had lost command of his good judgment. I wish we knew what William meant when he said "for tonight", lol.  |

The fanfic that has been pinging around in my head for the last 5 years flows from just that point. I've been wimping out on actually writing it because it goes well beyond PG but it occurred to me yesterday that there is a way to avoid that.

Dang we need our own archive.  |

It probably wouldn't surprise her. It's just that inevitable squirm factor that kids have to deal with. She's 21 years old and I'm a huge fan of historical romance novels and rom-coms. Clearly my brain operates on that level some of the time.
It does give me pause though when I could say something very naughty...as I am wont to do sometimes :b.

It did shock me the first time I heard my Mom say a naughty word.  |

It's not naughty words that will shock her...she's heard lots of those out of me. It's the stream of naughty thoughts that will do it. Maybe I should put a warning on it for her and Hetalia's Canada...or just put a red flag on it that says READ ME because they will anyway, lol!

The only flaw in my story for you is that it involves buttons...definitely no tie or zipper  . |

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  . Love the last line! I am laughing out loud!!! |

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. Yes, I don't think it was confirmed that Julia had a complete hysterectomy. I'm sure it's not really necessary to precise it and no doubt that you already know: I am not a doctor! ;-) A hysterectomy, even partial, makes women sterile. Dr TASH could have used silver nitrate (chimical which should be applied with accurary, very careful on mucous membranes for no longer than necessary) to cauterize the wounds of her uterus. It could have worked -and avoided a hysterectomy- or not. It depends on how bad the injury was and how much damage it did. And yes we have no details about what it really did happen to Julia. When she said that she almost died, I made - logical or at least seemed to be logical according to me- assumptions (and some deductions) based on what I know about "abortion" at this time and about "hysterectomy" as well because she said that it left her sterile. When I read your comment (I quote: "I would rather have Julia work on overcoming her infertility, since that's a medical mystery"), I just wanted to propose a situation in which she could still have a chance to be pregnant. But it would seem that my reasoning posed problem. And now I'm not sure to have well understood your comment. |
