'A Million Little Things' Season 3: Will Rome and Regina breakup or get a new baby after Eve's adoption fiasco?
The Howards had gone through a heartbreaking ordeal in Season 2 of ABC's 'A Million Little Things'. After Eve (Ebboney Wilson) decided to keep her baby and not let Rome and Regina (Romany Malco and Christina Moses) adopt the child, she left the Howards crushed. Particularly Regina, who at the end of the season had blamed Rome for her ordeal.
"You made me want this," she had told him. With the premiere of Season 3 later tonight, we expect the show to write in some tension between the two. But will they get a baby at all? At the moment, Regina is really hurting — she is livid at everyone who is responsible for putting her in this position.
Be it Eve, who refused to go through with the adoption, or her husband Rome, who had to convince her to get on board in the first place, there is no sugar-coating the fact that Regina did actually lose a baby. Now, this loss is different because she never even held the baby in her arms, but that doesn't take away from the fact that she hoped to be a mother and nurse a child into the world.
So going forward, you must expect Rome and Regina treading through tough waters. These might be very difficult times for the couple but especially for Regina who had to overcome her initial stand of not wanting kids to eventually adopting.
Hope, motherhood and love had sprung in her heart, but it was all left shattered by Eve. And so she might want to make the tough choices. "She feels like he made her want this, she is feeling very isolated and we'll see how that affects Regina," creator DJ Nash had reportedly said in an interview.
The synopsis for Season 3 Episode 1 of the show titled 'hit & run', tease that "Rome and Regina face a tough decision about the future of their family". There is no doubt this has something to do about the baby. Or is it about them - are they nearing a break-up?
In a short leaked sneak peek, we see that Rome gets a call from Gloria from the adoption agency. While they are waiting to get an update about Eddie's health at the hospital, Rome breaks the news that the agency has found the couple another baby.
Rome leaves Regina stunned with this news. Now the question remains if she is going to get on board —Is she willing to put herself through the entire ordeal again? At her most vulnerable, what will Regina choose?
Fans think that the show might go in two directions. "The tension between Rome and Regina about not getting the baby will be resolved shortly because no one wants to see them fight. However, I'm torn between 2 scenarios: 1) Regina will try to get pregnant so they can have their own baby OR 2) I also kind of think they won't have Regina get pregnant just because they may want to have a storyline where a woman doesn't change her mind about not wanting to have kids," a fan wrote on Reddit.
However Regina and Rome decide to take their potential parenthood forward, we only hope they stay together — the couple is our favorite on the show and even loved by audiences so it would be a shame if they were to separate because of kids. Or no kids, for that matter.
'A Million Little Things' returns on November 19 at 10.01 pm on ABC.
