Will Queenie be fighting for her bloodline in the Crimes of Grindelwald?

We are exactly ONE MONTH away from the release of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald! So many questions are still unanswered and us potterheads are losing our minds.
I however want to talk about our favorite quirky New Yorker, Queenie Goldstein. After the reveal that Nagini was the maledictus, Queenie quickly became the most mysterious character in this film. We know that her and, the no-maj, Jacob find each other (I don't want to spoil anything but I read that Queenie put a spell under Jacob so that he would fall in love with her) & they get into a fight where Queenie leaves for Paris to find Tina, her sister. What could Jacob have said that made Queenie so angry that she left? Unless, there was something (or someone) involved.
In the recent CoG poster released last week there has been a rumor that Queenie looked like she had a baby bump. If this is true, maybe Jacob found out she was pregnant after realizing he was under an enchantment & felt betrayed that she didn't tell him. Maybe he said something that was hurtful (but honestly rightfully so) & Queenie felt overwhelmed with emotion and left.


But that leads me to the question of why is she alone in all of the trailers? If Queenie was on her way to Paris to find Tina, why didn't she find her? Remember Queenie is a legilimens which means she can read the thoughts and feelings of others. I feel as though she could find Tina that way. Mind you she found out Tina was about to be
executed from floors below her in MACUSA and saved her in the first installment of Fantastic Beasts. But yet we still see her alone and never with her sister. Except a picture with her looking at Jacob in the amphitheater, but he seems to not know she is there. But that could be a still right before he turns and looks at her.
A lot of fans believe Queenie will be on Grindelwald's side. And over the weekend on Sunday there was a Harry Potter marathon on the SYFY channel. There was a commercial of an insight of the film where Allison Sudol who plays Queenie says "Grindelwald is a master manipulator" while we see Grindelwald in the streets of Paris and Queenie in the streets with her eyes closed focusing on something. Does that mean she is focusing on Grindelwald? Is she communicating with him through legilimens? We know Grindelwald is a seer so, maybe? In the same commercial Jo states that the reason everyone goes to paris is because of Credence. When she says everyone is she meaning Queenie as well? We don't even see Queenie communicating with Credence in the first movie, & she doesn't even say his name. The only time we see her anywhere near credence is when she embraces her sister with a hug while credence is that little puff of smoke flying in the sky after everyone thought he was destroyed.

My theory is this: Queenie is pregnant and Jacob does say something that upsets her so she does leave to find her sister Tina. While she is on her way to Paris she somehow finds herself in the presence of Grindelwald. He puts in her mind that her baby is half wizard half no-maj and in this world the baby would never be accepted, especially in America.

If anything she and her baby would be punished while Jacob will just get obliviated. This upsets Queenie very much and even though she disagrees with Grindelwald in a lot of things, he is right about this. She knows her sister is a "career girl" and loves her job, therefore she would aways follow the law and would be against Jacob and Queenie having a relationship and not accept their child as family in fear of losing her job. Personally I don't think Tina would do that but Queenie may be overthinking things because she is so upset and anxious at this time. So Queenie decides to work with Grindelwald and he sends her on a mission, possibly involving Credence. Doing all this so Jacob, her and their baby can become a family in this crazy magical world.

That's my theory on Queenie. I still don't know what that mission would be but I think this theory is a solution as to why we see her so upset and alone. Tell me what you think and do you have any other theories about Queenie and the rest of the cast?
We are almost home guys!
