Andrew and Erica think she should have the baby if she wants whilst Will and
Laura think she should think of her studies and not have the child. The case
especially affects Andrew when it is revealed that Kirsty aborted their child when she was 17. Andrew says Kirsty
never listened to him when he said he would stand by her but she argues that
they were young and didn't know if they would still be together all this time
later. She says them not having children is not her fault. After all for the

right thing but now I don't know
