It seems like Anna's death took most of us by surprise somehow - possibly because we assumed that anything bad would start from Julia somehow? You hinted she would be doing something to make her look bad in the next few chapters, I hope she'll take Anna's corpse and throw it away like garbage. Ok, maybe "I hope" isn't the best choice of words here, but since she spoke of the baby as a (bug? rodent?), just about anything that doesn't involve hurting Anna jr. looks suddenly better in comparison - a lot better.
On the bright side, carrying a baby is much easier than carrying a pregnant/weak Anna. That this is the only "bright" side I see tells a lot :(

You're probably right on the reactions to it; up to now, it's been Julia snuffing people out directly. Still, I didn't want to just happily gloss over the fact that Anna's been going through a pregnancy in gulag conditions. Julia's reaction to the baby may surprise a few people as well, given her attitude to tiny people up to this point, though it's still not going to be an easy getaway.
You are definitely correct there: having to carry along Anna on the way out would probably have guaranteed failure. I guess we'll just have to wait and see now.

Haha, I came here to post almost exactly the same thing that Ancient Relic already did. Excellent chapter.

I didn't see that coming...I should have given common sense but I didn't.
Fuck me that was a gut wrencher, I'm now rooting for them harder than before and just as hard as I am for Rixie's recovery.
God speed little ones!

I bet she's happier dead, morbid but realistic.

Morbid but realistic indeed.
