Steve and Tracy come up with the idea to adopt pregnant daughter Amy’s baby next week. But how will she react when they sit her down and reveal their plan?

Next week sees Steve tell his daughter that if she wants to cancel her termination and look into other options then he will support her, and Amy’s thrilled that her dad is on her side.
Tracy is a slightly harder nut to crack, but eventually she agrees with Steve that Amy is the only one who can decide her baby’s future.
As the couple start to wonder what it would be like with a new baby in the house, they try to work out a way that Amy can keep her baby while also finishing school, leading to Steve having a lightbulb moment.
Steve eventually comes up with the idea that he thinks solves everything… they bring the baby up as their own and adopt their own grandchild.
