TOTW 02/08: Was Lureen pregnant when she met Jack?
Katie77:
When I first read the new question for Topic of the Week.....I thought...."WTF where do they get such stupid ideas from?".....but now after reading the posts here, especially the time line, I can see why its been asked.
Regardless of all the evidence to the contrary, I dont think she was pregnant. There is no way she would have still been riding those horses in the rodeo if she was.
huntinbuddy:
If she wasn't pregnant, she certainly would have been after riding Jake bronc in the back of daddy's T-bird that night after the rodeo. That is, assuming she was ovulating, and his gun went off!
Artiste:
One would think so!!
Look at the son!!
Strange in that BM movie!
Hugs!!
Artiste:
I question strongly this: Thanksgiving scene: "This is MY house and this is MY child." Jack reasserts his paternity. L.D. backs down quickly -- because they've all agreed to uphold, tacitly or openly, the story that Jack IS the father.
...
Because Laureen did not likely tell Jack the player or lover, or later on metion to her husband, still Jack, that this child was not his (from his boys driving for fun, may I say)!! ??
Hugs!!

This is a further possibility that Jack may not have been the father while truly believing that he was. An intentional discrepancy with the timeline would complicate this approach, assuming that Jack was as cognizant as anyone of the normal nine-months gestation period.
Certainly, Jack was Bobby's legal father, and bequeathed the Twist name to him. So from this standpoint, Jack could be just as adamant as any biological or adoptive parent would have been in asserting his childrearing rights to L.D.
