With Lea’s surgery, the couple had to choose to either induce labor for a stillbirth, or do a D&R, which is basically a surgical abortion. Wanting to avoid the trauma of giving birth to a baby they couldn’t bring home, they opted for the D&R. However, that experience was also traumatic.

Because of the hardship Lea and Shaun faced together, many fans are wondering if a breakup is on the horizon. On the other hand, it could have brought them closer together, but there’s really no way of knowing. 

While many fans of the show are expecting the writers to throw a wrench into Shaun and Lea’s relationship, the only way we’ll know what happens for sure is by tuning into the next episode.
