Was malvas brother the father of her baby?

Malva stood up in church to tell everyone about the man who fathered her baby in Outlander Season 6. The story she told wasn’t all lies. It links to the real father of the baby.

When Malva said Jamie is the father of her baby, we all knew it was false. Claire was initially concerned, but she did figure it out. Jamie would acknowledge his own child regardless of how that child came about.

However, that didn’t stop the gossip spreading around the Ridge. It hasn’t stopped Jamie from being viewed as an adulter, and maybe even a rapist to some people. It didn’t help that Malva stood up in church to share the story of who the father of her baby is.

Yet, if you listen to the words, Malva isn’t completely lying. Listen carefully and you will be able to figure out who the father of her baby actually is.

Who is the father of Malva’s baby in Outlander?

Malva shares how she was coerced into sleeping with someone she trusted. A person she trusted took her innocence. This person made promises and the couldn’t keep those promises. Of course, to the people in the church, it sounds like it’s Jamie, but there is someone else.

During the “confession,” Malva explains that the devil took over someone she trusted, and that person took her innocence. We all know that Malva wasn’t exactly innocent. Many of the younger men at the Ridge will know Malva wasn’t all that innocent at the time of the alleged affair with Jamie. That means there was someone else in her life.

That someone is a person she trusted, but she’s not really formed a lot of bonds with people at the Ridge. She laid with Young Ian and there was something going on with Obadiah Henderson, but there are no signs that she actually trusted them or that they took her innocence.

There are only two men who she would have trusted at first: her brother and her father. So, it means it’s one of them.

You’ll want to read the books for the answer as I am going to keep this book-spoiler free for the show-first fans. However, Malva wasn’t completely lying when she confessed to things in the church.

As rumors spread across the Ridge about Jamie, Young Ian came to Claire with news about who could be the father of Malva’s baby in Outlander. Is it possible that Ian is the father?

During Outlander Season 6, Episode 6, Claire’s near-death experience was the least of her problems. Months later, the Christies came to the Frasers with news. Malva is pregnant and she claims that Jamie is the father.

That led to rumors spreading around the Ridge. Everyone believed what Malva had said partly thanks to Mrs. Bug spreading some of the rumors. However, Young Ian turned to Claire with a confession. The baby could be his.

It turns out Ian and Malva did sleep together. It was only the once, but we all know how these things work. Just look at Brianna and Roger. They’d only slept together once and Jemmy was born. So, is it possible that Young Ian got Malva pregnant?

There are other possible fathers on the Ridge in Outlander

Well, yes, technically it is possible under the current circumstances that Young Ian is the father of Malva’s baby. That is with the facts that we currently know.

Malva claims that she got pregnant during the sickness. We know Ian slept with her before that. With the way time needs to pass for traveling, though, it surely would have been months earlier. However, we all know that the series isn’t so great with keeping consistent with time for travel, so we’ll not try to work that out.

Claire notes that Ian isn’t the only person Malva slept with. There’s at least one more: Obediah Henderson. There are likely more men on the Ridge.

All we have to do is look at the books for the answers, but we’re not going to do that in this post. We’re working with what we know based on the series, and right now, it’s certainly plausible that Ian is the father, but it’s highly unlikely. There’s far more drama to come.
