You had returned from your stroll in the woods with Cregan and you couldn't believe what he had said about what your impending marriage would be. You could travel or roam or take lovers if you wished. I have come to enjoy your company as a friend. You would not need to care for the babe either. Arra will raise him as a mother, and you will be truly, truly free.

What had you done?

By talking to him at the heart tree you had sealed your fate. You would have no loving husband and beautiful children to share with him as you had always dreamed of. With Cregan you would have nothing, you would not even be allowed to keep your child. How are you supposed to wed him now?
