Cathy was actually pregnant by Chris.
Not so easy. Not only do Cathy and Chris never get over their attraction to each other (more on that later), but also, in Petals on the Wind, Cathy realizes she had miscarried a child and that it's not the progeny of her fiancé at the time — it would have been Chris's baby.
Christopher Foxworth was the son of Garland and Alicia Foxworth and younger half-brother of Malcolm Neal Foxworth as well as the uncle of Corrine Foxworth whom he later married.

Andrews, "Petals on the Wind" second in a set of five novels. The Dollanganger series is told through four movies, one for each book of the same title: First "Flowers in the Attic", followed by "Petals on the Wind", "If There Be Thorns" and then "Seeds of Yesterday".
Alpert changed it to Chris angrily shaking his sister and immediately feeling bad about it. Then they sleep together. The rape scene was in the original script, but both Lifetime executives and Alpert felt it didn't belong (this well before a then-13-year-old Kiernan Shipka was cast as Cathy).
There's no actual evidence proving that Flowers in the Attic is based on true events, but the book was advertised as being “based” on a true story when it was initially released and a relative of Andrews confirmed that it was inspired by an actual account: “Flowers in the Attic WAS based on a true story.
Now, there's a brand-new installment in the Dollanganger series, titled Beneath the Attic, which is another prequel to Flowers in the Attic.
It is Cathy that Carrie confesses to about Julian's sexual abuse and the fact that their mother denied her on the street. In her suicide note, Carrie confesses that she sometimes forgot that Cathy and Chris were only her older siblings and not her real parents.
What happened to Cory's body in Flowers in the Attic?
In the last months of imprisonment in the attic, Cory becomes seriously ill with arsenic poisoning (sprinkled onto powdered donuts). Corrine and the Grandmother take him away and he later dies, leaving the older children devastated (especially Carrie).
In the book, the first time Cathy and her brother Chris have sex, he rapes her. This rape does not make him the villain so much as a victim of his own hormones.
Corrine Dollanganger is the main antagonist of the 1987 novel, Flowers in The Attic and its film adaptation. She is a greedy, narcissistic woman who imprisons her children in her mother's attic and kills her own son and daughter so she will be the sole beneficiary of her wealthy father's estate.
In Garden of Shadows, Malcolm Jr. dies at Foxworth Hall in a motorcycle accident; in Flowers in the Attic, Corrine tells her children that he died at a cabin he had built.
Their destitute mother tells them that in order to regain the fortune from which she has been disinherited, they must hide in their grandparents' vast attic for a few days so she can persuade their grandfather to reinstate her as his heir.
