While Rosetta was forced to somewhat explain the truth to her parents when it became clear she was pregnant, the option of abortion was neither in her mind, nor in the mind of her very religious parents. Neither could she marry her teacher either as she was too young and he was already married. Neither could she marry her teacher either as she was too young and he was already married. Rather than immediately go public Maryrose's parent's and so offered to provide significant regular payments (10% of his teacher's salary), Maryrose's parents accepted, they had a mortgage to pay after-all, and destroying a man's life and their daughter's reputation didn't sit well with them. only that he financially support Maryrose began to homeschool soon after, and about a year later, Maryrose gave birth to a son at the age of 11, with her Mother acting as her midwife. While Maryrose's son was registered as her mother's child (daughter by accident!), Maryrose jealously defended her new role as Mother, most notably by refusing to have her Son hurt (circumcised) even by 'God,' a decision she was supported in by the biological father. From th time of her son's birth, she had personally raised and breastfed him for 5 years with little help from her Mother. But upon reaching the age of 16, her Mother decided that she needed to expand her horizons and have a life outside of her family and her obsession with her son. So she suggested Maryrose attend Liliana Ladies Academy as Maryrose's high grades and the money from her son's biological father made this feasible. At first Maryrose refused as she would not be separated from her son, but once her mother made it clear that her son could go 'with' her as the Academy also had a children's division from year 1-5 and that Liliana could still see her 'brother' (son) every day. She relented. However, it soon became clear that the children's division did not include boys, yet Maryrose discovered that her son was legally her sister, so she went ahead with the application anyway; her son would attend the girl's division as a 'girl!'
