Well, there's no turning back the clock now, unfortunately you were correct when you spotted the signs of this young woman being intent on becoming a Mother and here you are.
I feel for you and your forced change of plans for retirement and travelling but also feel your joy at your little Gd who quite naturally thinks of you both as her parents.
Your question is, how can you ensure all are protected and safe and there are a couple of plans that I can suggest.
1) Your son and the young lady should be helped to rent a place of their own, you say that your son works, so this is feasable. They should also go to Citizens Advice to see what benefits both of them are entitled to, if your Ds is on a small wage, they could get some Housing Benefit and Universal Credit.
2) You could keep them living with you and have the baby there but I feel that this would make things too easy for them and you could end up with a house full of Dgc.
You say the girl is 18 and your Ds I guess a little older. They're not exactly children are they? I would go with option 1 and let them stand on their own two feet.
Whatever you do, I wish you all well.
