As was often the case with problems that went ignored, they tended to grow bigger the more time passed.
With a knot of dread in her chest, Annika realized one day that her belly had gotten too big to hide. Soon, her father and brother would start asking questions about her state; and when the truth came out, they'd go looking for the culprit. And not just to chat, either.
It was all her fault. She was the one who insisted on being intimate with Phillip without thinking of the consequences, even though Marcus had warned her. And now that her pregnancy had advanced this much, she was running out of options. It was either being a disgraced, single teenage mom... or being a married-off, trapped-in-a-castle teenage mom. She wasn't sure which of the two was worse.
So once she'd dried her tears and regained some composure, Annika began gathering her things, having chosen an unlikely third option. She packed clothes, provisions, and Spellweaver for protection, and headed out. She would handle everything on her own, she'd firmly decided.
But to do so, she needed to disappear for a while.

One year older and wiser, Marcus can now finally call himself a 'proper' adult! 😄 His stats haven't really changed since he was a teen, with a notable exception in his Turn off panel, which went from "Custom hair" to "Alien" courtesy of @episims Turn on/off replacement mod.
Also, this whole time I thought that he was a Family sim with a Knowledge secondary, when it was actually the other way around?? Wow, way for me to not know my own sims' stats. Embarrassing.
