"Wesley, what happened? How did Shea get pregnant?" Avery stood before Elliot and asked.
"Avery, it's me... I did it on purpose." Shea's eyes were red from all the crying and she stuttered, "I wanted a child... When I see your children, it just fills me with envy... so I..."
Shea ran out of breath and choked on her voice.
Wesley smoothed his hand down her back and continued the explanation, "I don't know where she learned this from but she poked a hole in the condom."
Avery fell into silence at how bold Shea was. Shea knew that her body was unfit to bear children. Both Avery had given her a stern talk about this. She had agreed, but now, she had gone and done something like this.
"Where did you learn something like that?" Elliot clenched his fists and roared
furiously, "Did you learn it from someone?!"
"No... No one taught me that... I saw it on my phone...” Shea held onto Wesley's arm as she looked timidly at Elliot. "I'm sorry, Big Brother... I didn't listen to you... but I really want to have Wesley's baby..."
"No!" Elliot interrupted her. "You are getting an abortion now before the embryo gets to grow! This should minimize the risk!
Shea instantly broke down in tears.
Wesley wiped away her tears with a tissue and consoled her, "Shea, listen to your brother. It's my fault. I will go get a vasectomy after the abortion." "You shouldn't have been intimate with her to begin with!" Elliot said. "This is exactly what I was worried about, and this is precisely why I didn't approve of your relationship! Wesley, you are incapable of taking care of Shea!"
Wesley did not argue with Elliot, as he knew that he had no one else to blame but himself for getting Shea pregnant.
