When a couple of drinks and the returning of a borrowed shirt ends with the two of them in bed together, Amy decides to take control of the situation the best way she knows how: a comprehensive set of rules.

Summary
“He’s really cute,” Roger says. “Perfect, like you said.”
“I know,” Jake says in a low voice, so that only Roger will hear. “You get one chance, by the way. So you know. One.”
Roger raises an eyebrow. “One chance to…?”
“If you hurt him somehow, if you fuck this up in any way, if you let him get attached to you and then just leave…” He looks from Mac to straight into Roger’s eyes. “You're out. I won't hesitate.”In which Roger learns how to be a grandpa, and Jake how to be a son and a dad at the same time. Featuring newborn, two-year-old and seven-year-old Mac. (Also, the backstory for that toy airplane from the season 8 trailer clip.)

Summary
Jake thinks that if he had only been the type of person to worry a bit more beforehand, perhaps the subsequent fall wouldn't have felt quite as steep. If he had only remembered to think about all the things that could still go wrong, maybe he wouldn't be feeling like the ground is giving out beneath him and everything is turning hazy when the doctor speaks to them.
Low hCG levels. No heartbeat. Unfortunately, nothing we can do to stop it.

Summary
“I’m weirdly tired, a few days late, and like you said, overemotional.” She tapes the folded edges of the paper together. “I recognize it, is all I’m saying.”
“Ames, are you serious?” Jake’s staring at her, eyes gleaming. “That’s incredible!”
“I just said a, don’t go crazy, and b, I don’t know.”It's two days before Christmas. Amy's feeling weird, but it's probably nothing - right?

Summary
She realizes Jake and Amy have never gotten to keep anything about their relationship secret; not their pining, not becoming a couple, not getting engaged, or even trying for a baby. She supposes they deserve to keep something to themselves for once, even if they’re worthless at it.
Or, Rosa has always been strangely involved in Jake and Amy's relationship, and the two of them becoming parents doesn't appear to change this.

Summary
Jake has never been a fan of Father's Day. Never finding it more than the yearly nagging reminder of the brokenness of his own family, he's avoided any acknowledgement of the occasion for most of his life - but with fatherhood fast approaching, this attitude might use a change.
A reflection on Jake's feelings about fatherhood, told over the course of three different father's days.

Summary
He’s heard about this moment so many times from so many people - heard all about the overwhelming love and pride, the instant connection he’s supposed to feel as he looks at them - but all Jake can feel is shock. He doesn't know how to take in what just happened, and even though he's been trained on how to act in situations of intense stress, this one has him frozen.
a.k.a, an attempt of filling in the gap between the two last scenes in lights out.

Summary
"Today is your day, after all.”
“What do you mean?” She frowns, failing to understand what he could possibly be referring to as she goes through the days in her head. They’re still three months away from her birthday, and other than it being a precious shared day off for them both, she can’t think of anything special or unusual with today’s date that they would be celebrating.
“Ames,” he says, reaching out to tuck a few wild strands of hair behind her ear as his lips take on that smile which means he’s really proud of himself, “today’s Mother’s day.”
A glimpse into the two first times Amy celebrates Mother's Day.

Summary
He’s seen Amy sleep before, but never quite this close. She’s never slept on him, and he wonders if they’ve ever been this physically near each other for longer than a few seconds at a time. Her head is a warm weight on his shoulder, heavy without being uncomfortable, and he could probably smell her hair if he just leaned down slightly and it didn’t feel like a creepy thing to do on purpose.
Five times Amy fell asleep on Jake, and one time someone else did.

His world is about to be forever changed, and it will never be just him and Amy again. There will be someone else depending on them, always another person in the back of their heads, and it's slowly hitting Jake that he's about to get onto what is sure to be simultaneously the best and most terrifying rollercoaster of his life.

Summary
It's been eight months since her first pregnancy scare, when they decided to start trying. If she had been pregnant then, and everything had gone well, they could have just had a baby by now. She could have been up feeding a tiny newborn, or rocking them to sleep, or changing diapers, and she would still have been exhausted and maybe still in pain, but she would have had a baby and nothing else would have mattered.
Two times Amy Santiago finds herself awake in the middle of the night.

Summary
"When does it become something?"
Jake furrows his brows. "What do you mean?”
"Because everyone always says the same thing. One month is nothing. Three months is nothing.” Amy twirls the negative test between her fingers. “Four months was nothing, either. So when does it become something?"Everyone knows how to get pregnant - it's simple, general knowledge. You go off your birth control, track your ovulation, time it properly and there you are.
They don't tell you what to do when it's not that simple. -

Summary
“I can’t believe we’re doing this,” he whispers, punctuating the sentence with a kiss to her collarbone.
“Having sex?”
“Making a baby! There could be a baby from this!”
“Yeah.” His excitement truly knows no bounds - Amy had almost forgotten it in the heat of the moment. “It's kind of cool,” she confesses.
“It's magic,” Jake whispers, kissing her lower abdomen where neither of them can wait for their baby to start growing. “Like, we could just be here, doing this, and then boom, nine months from now there could be a little half-you and half-me out in the world. Magic.”(a.k.a, the reason behind amy being THAT pissed in the elevator.)
