OK, I didn't see a pregnant sister anywhere in your story so I don't know why you titled your thread that, but anyway...

The kids are a fait accompli, and it sounds like when your nationals picked the colonizing members, they were fully aware of the first girl's child. If they are giving the OK, I don't think there is jack squat anyone else can say.

Should they bring it up at rush or talk to guys at mixers about their kids for 2 hours? No. But that could be said of ANY family matter.

As far as the girls who are complaining, it almost sounds like they're more upset about the NM keeping info from them (which might have affected their vote) than about the actual fact of the child itself. When you feel hoodwinked you get pissed and make it into something else, which is where the other sister comes in. They have to pretend it's a moral issue, not an "I feel tricked" issue.
