Hello everyone.

In a novel a woman tells her girlfriend that she is pregnant. The sentence below is what she says when she finds he is at a loss for words.

I tried to figure out what you'd say when I told you.

My question is:
Which is appropriate, #1, 2, or 3, for the blank below if the sentence above is rewritten into the sentence below?

I said to myself, �( )�
1. What will you say when I tell you?
2. What would you say when I tell you?
3. What would you say when I told you?

Best regards,
Fw
