Premonition

Having Linda become pregnant at the end of the film was Sandra Bullock's idea. She felt it would strengthen the film's tragic ending, because although Linda might not be able to save Jim, their efforts to right the wrongs in their lives and reconcile with each other before dying at least resulted in her being able to create a new child who could not otherwise have existed.
