Jordan: Nige, can you do me a favor?
Nigel: For you, love, always. What you want me to do?
Jordan: (hands him three tubed swaps) Can you compare these with the baby's when it's born?
Nigel: Sure. (teasing) So, you're not only not telling us who the father is, you don't know. (at her look) Or, … you're not sure.
Jordan: Well, yeah.
Nigel: (looks at swaps) Three?
Jordan: The one with the "J" is mine.
Nigel: And what exactly is that for?
Jordan: (gives him a look)
Nigel: You're thinking of a simple restriction length polymorphism test. You cut the DNA with molecular scissors that only recognize specific parts. Then you separate the pieces by length and you get a band for each length. The kid gets all it's bands from either one of it's parents. If the kid has a band the mother has not the father has that particular band. If he hasn't, he's not the father.
Jordan: Exactly.
Nigel: You know, love, a little more tests and I don't need your DNA to figure out which one of these (holds up two swaps, they are labeled "A" and "B") is it.
Jordan: I know, Nige. But you have mine too. So no need for that.
Nigel: (pouts playfully)
Jordan: But you know, you can always do a little more tests to be sure. As long as your quick.
Nigel: I'm always quick!

Garret: Hey, how you doin'?
Jordan: I'm ok.
Garret: Good. … You've not much time left, do you?
Jordan: Yeah.
Garret: You ever heard of Max?
Jordan: No. Why? You didn't try to find him, did you?
Garret: Of course not, you asked me not to.
Jordan: As if that means something.
Garret: You mean a lot to me, Jordan. And you know that.
Jordan: Yeah, thanks. You mean a lot to me, too.
Garret: … So, has the little one a name yet?
Jordan: Hum, no. I don't even know if it's a him or a her.
Garret: Don't you want to?
Jordan: No. It'd not change anything, would it?
Garret: No, it wouldn't. You could have a name for both, though.
Jordan: Hmm, maybe. You got suggestions?
Garret: I don't know. What about Emily? It's a nice name.
Jordan: That's my moms.
Garret: I know. It's not unusual to name a kid after the grandparent.
Jordan: No. I never liked that. What you think of Steve … or Patrick?
Garret: Steve Cavanaugh. Patrick Cavanaugh. Sounds good. Both of them.
Jordan: I don't know. I think I wait to see what it looks like.
Garret: Yeah, that's probably a good idea. But maybe you should think of some names you like.
Jordan: Maybe. But not now. I just want to get over this week.
Garret: Oh. Yeah. Your mothers anniversary. Take all the time you need, Jordan.
