At their apartment, Greenlee is reeling from the revelation that her strange symptoms indicate she might be pregnant. Ryan tries to calm her fears and reassure her that he's ready for a baby. Jonathan overhears them talking about it and has a less than enthusiastic reaction. He tries to play it off as though he is happy for them but both Greenlee and Ryan sense he isn't, especially after he questions the timing of the pregnancy. After he leaves the room to get a beer and glass of milk (for Greenlee) to celebrate the blessed event, Ryan suggests that maybe Jonathan's reaction has something to do with their childhood and abusive father. Jonathan returns, hands them their drinks then quickly leaves with reassurances that he's happy for them. Greenlee tries to remind him that she isn't even certain she is pregnant. That they still hadn't taken any tests to confirm their suspicions. Greenlee then realizes that Ryan is a bit shaken at the possibility that maybe he wouldn't be a fit father given his role model growing up which prompts Greenlee to reassure him that he would be a wonderful father."
