Maybe it's just me, but I think a pregnancy storyline would be the worst thing for Octavia. We've seen her grow into a warrior over the seasons, and a pregnancy would essentially sideline her character. Plus, a child wouldn't just make her grief over Lincoln better. And there is also the fact that Octavia is 16/17 so you're kind of rooting for a teen pregnancy. Either way, I would rather see Octavia become completely immersed in Grounder culture. And I want to see her go downthe dark path of grief and anger that she seems to be headed toward, and I would rather see her pull herself out of that than having a child do it for her.

So, I really hope they don't go that way with Octavia's story because it's not something I want to see and I think it would ruin a pretty badass character (before I start receiving hate, I'm not saying that mothers can't be badass, but being pregnant and having a baby would/should take someone out of the action, and I want Octavia in the center of the action.)

Also, we did get some glimpses of Arker children at the begining of the season, plus a mention to people getting pregnancy inhibitors (or something like that) removed. Therefore, they are having kids. Sure, it was a little weird not seeing any in the CoL drama, but I think that's just because it's not the story the writers want to tell, and I agree with that. I short, just because we don't see pregnant women and children doesn't mean they aren't there.
