Jesse slides away, and Ryan saunters over to Adam. They begin bickering right away, as Adam insists Annie didn't kill Stuart. Ryan asks, "Who said anything about Annie?"

JR reads the paper in bed beside Marissa. He loves how normal they're acting - he even loves mornings again. Marissa says everything's changed now that he's in remission. JR agrees, and wonders why she's not happier about it! Marissa says they got together right around the time he was diagnosed - the cancer has been there for their whole relationship. Marissa says he was acting like they only had months ahead of them, now they have decades - does he now think he's made a mistake? She offers him the chance to take a break and decide if this marriage is really what he wants. JR asks if she wants a break? She shakes her head. JR doesn't want to go back to who he was before the cancer, and he's excited to make plans. He marvels that cancer has made his life better. They kiss, and then make love.
Jake and Amanda confer in a waiting area of the hospital. Amanda says maybe they can use whatever Angie has against David to make him give up custody of Trevor - then she wouldn't have to get pregnant! Jake is very doubtful. Amanda expresses frustration at the idea of continuing to live with David all these months. Jake says she has the option not to do it, but otherwise, it will all be over in nine months! Amanda gets called in to see the doctor, and Jake tells Trevor the good news is he's getting a sibling, but the bad news is he won't have a face like this - he indicates his own face. He tells the child he doesn't want him to live at David's forever - he loves him too much!

Annie says all the more reason to rush the wedding. Scott tells Annie forcefully that if she keeps pushing this - she'll kill Adam!
In the doctor's exam room, Amanda learns there is no reason she can't conceive. The doctor explains that they will take a sperm sample from the potential father, but warns that it doesn't always 'take' on the first try - this can be a very long process!

Ryan says he doesn't, and lets her know that he knows the truth now, and she doesn't have to talk about it again unless she wants to.
