Viktre was quite relieved when she woke up. He listened to her. She had been through a lot. She had told him about some of it over their last few months when he had come back from the sea and sent messages to let her know that he was back. That she was scared, he could understand. He was a bit more than a little shaken about this himself. He had been with various women over the years but always was careful. Some had come up with pregnant as well, but they had been with various seamen or men from the Russian Naval sailors coming back to land for some time onland. None had tried to figure out who the father was unless really finding a man that was easy to move into a marriage. No one would consider Viktre for that kind of situation.
If it had been any of them, Viktre would have just gave her a few pounds and toss her out expecting it to be a trap. However, with Pippa, he believed it was his child. The thing now was to figure out what to do. When she curled up on the bed, he gave her a look. The young woman had no living family. He didn't see how her employer would keep her as the maid with her situation becoming clear. So, she would have no money and no place to live. He looked around lost himself.
Not wanting to ruin her, he had done just that and in a big way. He thought of his family. His mother would be thrilled and his father would tell him to do the proper thing. But he had just gotten this business started and he was not one that had intended to settle down. His mother often said he was old enough to get a family started. That meant not going to the taverns and bars to have fun with the crew and the women. He wasn't ready for that.
He was enjoying exploring the world and being free. He looked at her. He would have a child. Her crying made him all uncomfortable. He was not great around women's tears, thus he usually spent his time with tough women that knew how to take care of themselves.
"Pip is wanted. This good times with us. No need sorry." He stood up and paced trying to think about it without the bit of freaking out thing coming back at him. "Is two make mladenets. Viktre should not taken deva
... maid? Innocent? to bed."
