What if Ray already had the child? Is wife (The inestimable Stella) died during childbirth and he was left to raise the child... while everyone thinks he's dead, Fraser takes responsibility of the child and vows to raise it as his own.
Everyone else thinks it's because he and Ray were friends, but he knows it's because the child is his last momento of Ray.
When Ray comes back, Fraser has managed to make this vow of duty before the vow of his church... and even though Ray is alive and capable of caring for the child on his own, Fraser still leaves with them, telling everyone else it's his duty, the one he choose first. Or something.
(That was entirely too much thought for a story that will never be written. But it was fun.)
