Chris Foster was still traumatized by her rape and refused to have sex with Snapper even though she loved him very much. Snapper showed a great deal of patience and respect for Chris, offering her emotional support but finding his own sexual pleasure with Sally McGuire.
Sally had fallen in love with Snapper, too, and was desperate to keep him. She saw in him the decency and security she wanted in a husband. Her own family life had been rough. Her father died an alcoholic and her mother committed suicide. Sally was already an unwed mother.
In spite of her friend Brad Eliot's advice that she'd only end up getting hurt, Sally decided to use a desperate single woman's oldest trick. She threw away her birth control pills and got pregnant by Snapper.
Meanwhile, Snapper was growing more and more fond of Chris. He broke off with Sally without knowing he would be the father of her child.
