There is always the possibility that the woman you got preganant 9 plus years ago when she was a minor and you were an adult at the time can make a police report about what transpired and see if the police report would be forwarded to the district attorney's office for a possible complaint to be filed agaisnt you for improper intimate relations with a minor.
However, from what you have written and the passage of 9 plus years, there is the distinct possibility that the possible charges could be time barred under your state's statute of limitations. Likewise, law enforcement would also want to know why the woman you married would desire to file charges against you for getting her pregnant while she was a minor.
