He told Jason and Jamie about Violet expecting a boy and Jason accidentally let slip to Violet the sex of the baby . Violet was furious with Sean for betraying her and making her feel worthless . It soon occurred to Sean that Violet was planning to bring up their baby without him , and when he confronted her about being pushed out , she told him that she saw him as the donor , not the father . Upset , he warned Violet that he would take legal action , and she walked out in a rage . Violet and Sean later apologised to one another and the friendship was rekindled . Reconciling with Jamie .
