There are so many reasons why she shouldn't - they shouldn't - have this baby. She's gone through them all, multiple times. It's reached the point with her that they don't really matter anymore.
"I'm not getting rid of the baby, James," Sarah Jane states firmly, finally meeting his eyes. "I've decided that much. And while I really do want nothing more than to have a partner in this, I think I'd understand if you don't want to be that person."
The words hurt to say. But she needs to give him the choice. She's already made hers.
