Thomas had been avoiding getting pregnant by Joseph for as long as he could, waiting for Benjamin to get back from his trip with his father. He used every excuse in the book, from Bella - who was six months old now, to himself being tired or sick, then just looking for work to do instead. Looking to make good on what Ben had said the last time they had met, he wanted to carry his child, not the old man who was also known as his husband.
