Julia wants a baby, your baby.
Thanks for the feedback, I've been working with having an established character that's adaptable and I'm glad to see its working
I pivoted the established story, setting up "Tom" as the boyfriend and playing a friend of his who was sympathetic, who's always had a thing for Julia. Together, we decide she's definitely going to have a baby... so far the interaction has been great, no problems at all with the pivot or the dialog.
