Moiraine never thinks very much about consequences when she’s drunk. Not as much as usual, anyway - she’s still a much more analytical drunk than most.
Errors in judgement - mistakes - are easy to make when inebriated. So as Moiraine runs a hand absentmindedly through Rand’s hair as he kneels on the floor retching from the effect that reaching tainted saidin has on his semi-inebriated body, she thinks wryly that their positions really should be the other way round.
Because Moiraine has made the mother, father and possibly Creator of all mistakes. She still can’t believe that she let a bottle of Aiel vintage wine distract her from reason so much that she forgot to weave saidar around herself for protection against unpleasant surprises.
She can’t actually bring herself to consider this unpleasant, though. And she certainly can’t consider it a mistake. Moiraine isn’t an overly sentimental woman and never will be, but she still feels a warm fuzzy feeling when she’s alone and she can rest her hand on her belly and feel the slight roundness that’s developing.
She hasn’t told Rand. She hasn’t told anyone, not even Lan, who she’d tell before Rand if she was going to tell anyone. She hasn’t worked out the logistics of having this baby - she needs to stay by Rand’s side to guide him, otherwise he’ll end up accidentally destroying the world, but how is she supposed to do that while bearing his child?
The Dragon Reborn’s child. Moiraine shivers slightly, even as she feels a pang of love for this unplanned baby which the White Tower will certainly consider a terrible mistake. Maybe they’ll decide to still her for it, if they find out. She doesn’t plan on letting them know.
Moiraine knows that she made a massive error in judgement, or more simply put didn’t use her judgement at all. But however many hours she spends pondering the possible consequences, and however many bad ones she thinks of, she can’t bring herself to consider it a mistake.
