Sadly enough, I don't understand guys at all. I don't much understand girls either, but that's a different problem.
So guys, I ask how would you react in the following situation:
You've been betrayed by a close friend. Now this isn't some "he told her that I sad ..." betrayal. This betrayal has led to:
You being accused of theft, kidnapping, murder, and rape.
Your brother's gang was ratted out, the building burned down, and
You were told your child was born dead, but in reality it was kidnapped and given to the mother's parents, who accused you of murder rape etc.
How would you react when you discover this?
(Mind you, your lover/soon to be wife and her brother are there)
And
How would you react if this had happened to your sister and her lover?

I don't think you see the places
inside me that I find you
I would personally break down and cry. I would probably cut off all ties in my life for a few months until I could clear my mind and figure out the best state of action. I would do this because I know that otherwise, I would try to commit suicide.
I believe it all depends on a person's personality. I am an emotional and sensitive person. But I have a hard time feeling sorry for others unless I've been in the same position. So if it happened to my sister, I would be furious at my parents, but at a loss on how to comfort my sister's aching heart.
Also the conflict on what to do about the parents would come into play. Should I call the cops on my own family? Would they even believe me? I can't tear this family apart more than it already is, can I? And etc.
And I don't know how we
separate the lies from the truth

"... I have a child?" Well, considering I don't ever plan to, that'd be MY initial reaction, but to look at this hypothetically... Hmm.
Let me clarify something real quick. I'm being accused by someone who is not my soon to be wife and her family, correct? And how far have they gone with it? Have they talked to the cops yet, or is that how I find out that I'm accused?
Why am I just now being accused of rape, if it's already resulted in a birth. You'd think they'd say something a little earlier. Does the mother know that it's with her parents? If so, is that really kidnapping, or just lying to me? Did I know there was a child on the way in the first place? Was I with the current woman when it was conceived, and is this the first she's hearing of it?
Is the gang thing related, or coincidental?
And if I'm being accused on the spot, with the lover and her brother there, who all is there doing the accusing? Is this the first I've heard of this rape theft kidnapping crap? Hell, is the child really mine?
I suppose, either way, if I'm innocent I'd be taken aback, just completely baffled at first if it seems absurd. If I would expect something premeditated like this, I'd probably already have discussed the situation that would spark such ire, with my fiancee, beforehand. I'd think she'd know that these people hold some sort of grudge. Hopefully if I wasn't expecting it, my surprise and reaction to the absurdity of the claims would say something of my innocence.
Of course I'd be pissed off, I tend to have a temper anyway, but a clear head in emergency or crucial situations. I tend to think that a solely angry reaction to such an accusation would only make me look more guilty, while if you're innocent you shouldn't have to worry. The legal system is flawed, sure, but my first concern would be with dealing with the lover, making sure she knew that it was all lies, assuming that my innocence would be established to everyone else in due course. So it would depend on the above questions, then upon her reaction, what I've told her and who she believes.
And then upon how far they were willing to go to frame me, whether the police were being brought into it, etc. That'd be the immediate issues anyway.
Down the road I'd probably have some follow-up actions.
If it was my sister and her lover, I'd be wary of him and concerned for her, but it would depend on how well I knew the involved parties.
Guess I'm not much help.

...Sorry for the confusion. Let's see if I can clarify some things first.
This isn't a modern day setting. There are no cops. Just the nobles...who want your head. So it's your (a commoner's) word against a noble's.
Your being accused by your soon to be wife's parents. Sam (your lover) ran away from home and joined your gang. Sam is an ex noble, which you've known. So Sam's father is accusing you of rape and such and there are wanted posters
The gang thing is how I've divided up the commoners. Your the leader of one. So, coincidental, except that your friend who betrayed you is part of your gang.
You were accused of rape a while ago (not long after you found out Sam was pregnant), you just don't know who told Sam's parents. No, you just found out that your child is with Sam's parents. It's really a kidnapping/lying about the being born alive bit. Yes, you knew about the child. Sam is the mother of the child.
Yes, the child is really yours. No, you've know about the theft/rape/kidnapping thing for the past...year or so.
Your being accused of kidnapping/raping your lover.
Basically, how would you react when you discover that the person who betrayed you to her parents was one of your closest friends?
Thank you both for your inputs and sorry for the confusion. sweatdrop

I? Me?
If I found out about all this at once, I would hardly react at all. Because, at some point, I've developed defense mechanisms that just make me shut down when something that stressful occurs.
Not very helpful...What is the character involved like?

Ummm
Yeah.
Kinda calm, though he is protective, but he's never had to deal with this sort of thing before.

Initially I would but shocked then possibly angry, might retaliate on anyone near that I thought could take it or start a search for the betrayer. But if I had time to think it out I would try to find the solution. To me it is getting my lover and our child back together.
I would want to clear everything with Sam first and find away to get the child back. After all family should be together.
Secondly, if possible, try to clear everything with Sam's parents. Nobles have a better chance of influencing the law and any other way my lead to conflict that could easily harm or kill others.
The parents are secondary, if it is true love then Sam comes first.
But if I can't have her then that becomes a turning point in my life. Most likely long suffering of depression, but that just me. I'll hope to clean up the pieces but will always remember what happened.
Personally I don't ever get close enough to any one to really love them. Best friends max but never love.

Initially, I would be too shocked to even think. Then, when thought came back, I would probably need to sit down and get my thoughts straight. My overall reaction would be to ask what their reason was, and how much of it they are saying is true (because honestly, I have never had an honest friend for about 3 years).
I think this is all because I'm a little more rational and a little less impulsive than most of the people I know.

Lydia Trebond Wait. You aren't a guy? O.o Thanks for your input either way. XD -Facepalm- No, I'm a guy. What I meant was that once you described his character to me, I ceased to be an unbiased source and introduced experimental error. lol, science in the writing forum.
