those are actually some pretty great thoughts, so thanks. Having a baby really does change one's perspective. Earlier in the thread I postulated that the Allay could have induced a chemical change in Jack's brain to cause him to be an adrenaline junkie (for lack of a better term). There are some people out there, and I am one of them, who believe that having a baby induces a chemical change in the brain as well. We already know that love is caused by a chemical change, why not parenthood? Mind you- this is not proven yet, but it is possible. I can certainly believe that that chemical change can win out over the adrenaline junkie mentality.
I guess it is for this reason that I believe that Gia cannot be allowed to carry the baby to full term. She has to lose it, because is she doesn't, Jack won't be Jack. Sure, this is cheating a bit, because we know there is no baby in Nightworld.
Of course, Dr Wilson can do whatever he chooses- it is his world after all- but this is how I see things as they stand right now.
A curious conversation and line of thought, however, I can't recall reading Jack promising Gia that he will give up his 'profession'. I recall a conversation about him becoming a part of society again, ingratiating himself into the real world so that he can be a parent.
And I don't see Jack doing it for 'the rush'. He does it because he's good at it, and has found a niche. If he had his way each job would be nice and neat, simple and easy.
He may be more choosy with his jobs, but as was seen with Crisscross, one of his jobs was a simple missing person case. Didn't stop it becoming dangerous, but what Gia doesn't know won't hurt her
Which opens up a whole new can of moral worms...
