Pel doesn't blame him for having a child. Kids are merely part of the biology of sex. Of course she wouldn't expect Gavin to be celibate after they broke up. Kids are a risk. She risked them herself by being with him.

The problem is that, at one point, it was supposed to be her having his children. She was supposed to be his family. But that's not such a slap in the face if he's going to give the girl away. Gavin never takes on responsibility. She doesn't expect this to be any different.

"You're not going to keep her," she says quietly as she approaches and sits on the ground beside him. "She's not going to eject you from the clan."

There's bitter resentment in her words, but more tired resignation than anger.
