**Next:** | "Marlow"

**Sheena** is the second episode in the first season of 16 and Pregnant. It aired on February 22, 3004.

## Summary

Sheena's entire identity revolves around being "Miss Perfect", so falling pregnant so close to high school graduation throws a wrench in everyone's plans for her to succeed. Facing ridicule from her family and a possibly unfaithful significant other, Sheena is forced to grow up and find her own path in life.

## Plot

Sheena Kroll is a seventeen-year-old high school student, currently enrolled in four Advanced Placements classes as well as two extracurriculars. Winning the "Overachiever" superlative the past two years has given Sheena an image of perfection, so when she announced to her friends and family that she was pregnant, it seemed this image had come crashing down. Despite a tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend Leandro Brogan, the two got engaged in secret, planning on getting married just after the two graduate high school.

Sheena and Leandro dealt with immense pressure from both of their families to either terminate the pregnancy or place the baby up for adoption. Leandro's family is incredibly wealthy, with him set to receive a significant inheritance after he becomes a Young Adult. But due to their resistance, Leandro was kicked out of his household and forced to live with Sheena and her parents. The Krolls, namely matriarch Estelle, remain firm in their stance against a baby moving into their home, so it is expected Sheena and Leandro move out prior to the birth.

On top of their financial issues, Leandro was suspected to have cheated on Sheena prior to her discovering that she was pregnant. Leandro continues to deny the allegations, calling it "hogwash", but Sheena is still unsure of what she believes. Desperate for a change, Sheena relies on the support of her close friends to help her through her difficult time. Before long, Leandro and Sheena sign the lease for a cheap rental home in suburban Del Sol Valley, just miles outside of the prestigious The Pinnacles neighborhood.

Leandro inevitably drops out of high school to find full-time employment in the Film career. Sheena drops all of her Advanced Placement classes, but graduates high school on time with honors. Speaking at the commencement ceremony, Sheena discusses the pressures of the fast-approaching adulthood hitting her and her peers soon, but leaves everyone inspired after reading a poem written by Leandro. She walks during the ceremony to a standing ovation.

Later, Sheena goes into labor and welcomes her son, Kai Campbell Brogan. However, her episode concludes with a cliffhanger when she receives a text message while resting at home from a girl who states that Leandro had been sleeping over at her house the last few weeks.
