1994 (#30) - Drucilla's torments, Neil's desires and Olivia's advice

Shocked by the news of her pregnancy, Drucilla is uncertain about what to do. Her first instinct is to put the whole thing behind her, aborting it and going on with her life as normal; however, inside her, terrible doubts are already starting to creep in. Malcolm, meanwhile, having been informed of the pregnancy, wonders how she could have done such a thing, realizing only now the mistake of having believed that Drucilla really wanted to betray her husband. Malcolm is also convinced that the best thing to do is to have an abortion, but the opposite opinion is held by Olivia, who tries in every way to make her sister understand that the conception of a child must always be welcomed as a gift from God. In any case, everyone agrees on one thing: Neil must never know anything about what happened between Drucilla and Malcolm. When Neil is playing with little Nate and congratulating Nathan and Olivia on the baby, he doesn't hide the fact that he longs for him and Drucilla to start a family soon. Upon hearing these words, Drucilla feels that she can't crush Neil's dreams and that the baby might be hers after all. The decision to keep the baby, then, is finally made by Drucilla when Dr. Will Scott informs her that she is suffering from a slight malformation of the uterus that may prevent her from conceiving again in the future. Drucilla then informs Neil and a satisfied Olivia that she has decided to keep the baby. Consequently, the girl announces to an incredulous and enthusiastic Neil that he will soon become a father. Olivia, meanwhile, tries in every way to keep Malcolm away from his sister; and she does so by introducing the boy to the young Dr. Stephanie Simmons, an intern in her department at the Genoa Memoria Hospital. Stephanie and Malcolm begin to see each other, even though it's more and more evident that the man has only Drucilla and the baby he's expecting in his head, aware that he could be the father.
