I'm writing a script and have some problems choosing what tense to use here:
A guy made a girl pregnant after a one night stand three years ago, but has just been told about it now...
Guy: If I knew/had known she got/she'd gotten pregnant, if she had just told me, we could have worked something out. I could have convinced her to keep the child.
What would be the correct/natural tenses to use for the bold-faced part? Also, would 'if only she had told me' be more natural here?
