[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I am very anti “shiv is going to abort!” because I think it’s a huge reach and there is like 1-2 posters obsessed with that idea who keep talking about it. 
BUT!
Two episodes left and shiv has only told Tom so far (who didn’t even seem to believe her). And it seems each episode only lasts a day (or two). Which means the series will end way before Shivs due date. 
I could totally see the end of her arc being that she either leaves Tom/ leaves her entire family (or is kicked out), aborts, and goes off somewhere alone. 
Or, commits suicide. She took some big blows this season.

I don’t think it’s realistic to end the series with a main character being pregnant and not having the pregnancy be resolved either by a baby being born or by the pregnancy ending. It’s not a neat closure otherwise. I think the series will somehow need to complete her pregnancy arch- either by shiv having the baby, miscarrying, aborting, or committing suicide. [/quote]

You criticize those of us who have suggested Shiv will abort, and then you suggest that it's quite possible she aborts.   :roll: [/quote]

I criticized people making up things about reasons she had an amino - to give her a reason to abort- and saying “she was sitting in the conference room about to call and schedule an abortion when Tom walked in”, absolutely. Because it was made up. [/quote]

Except that you don't know that, any more than the rest of us do.  Posters are taking free rein, making up what THEY think will happen in this series, or how THEY interpreted a scene.  That is one interpretation of Shiv's scene, alone in the conference room.  That perhaps she was going to call her OB and schedule an abortion, when Tom walks in and is especially sweet and kind to her in that moment.  So perhaps she reconsiders the abortion.  This is all a theory - just like the numerous other theories posited on this thread.

As for the amnio, I was one of the posters who was saying she just had a routine amnio, as many of us "advanced maternal aged" moms have had (35+).  I made no sinister reference as to why she had the amnio, unlike some other posters (I've had three of my own, all routine).  However, I find it very plausible that Shiv did not want this baby - she knows she'd be a terrible mom, her own mother said as much to her, and now Tom has as well.  What better way to "shiv" Tom than to abort his (much wanted) baby and then tell him she has done so.

Now tell us about some of your made-up theories so we can criticize them and tell you how wrong you are.  [/quote]

I think she was about to call and ask about tuition prices for clown school and then Tom walked in and hugged her and she decided she didn’t want to work as a clown anymore[/quote]
