That's what makes me think Mick is happy about the pregnancy, while Linda is still understandably anguished.
Something makes me think Linda doesn't have an abortion, though. First of all, she'd probably have a tough time making Mick understand why she wants one, and he'd feel hurt that she wants to get rid of "their" baby. The mention in the spoiler about Linda deciding whether or not to confide in Mick makes me think she considers telling Mick about Dean and the rape but doesn't thinking she'll break Mick's heart. (A lot of her decisions regarding the rape have been done to avoid crushing Mick.) Consequently, Linda decides against the abortion.
If Linda does have the abortion, chances are the truth about the rape and Mick's parentage will come out after the abortion and will probably lessen the effect. However, if Mick persuades Linda to keep the pregnancy and he later finds out Dean raped her and the baby could be Dean's AND Dean is his brother...well, there's another six months of drama there that has pretty much written itself.
As for the Cokers, I'm wondering if they have been involved in burying fake bodies before? So maybe Emma finds out that Lucy's burial wasn't real?”

I think Linda having a abortion will have a greater effect on her and Mick then her having the child, the anguish that she might of aborted Mick's baby instead of Dean's, I'm not keen on another pregnancy and baby storyline especially so soon for her, she only been in it a year I think it's too much.
I'm glad the Corkers are getting a storyline.
