She has an ongoing argument with Evan over whether or not to have their son circumcised. During labor, she chooses not to have an epidural.

Alex feels even more nervous to become a father. Holly loses her job and becomes hurt when she realizes how much Alex is unprepared for a child. However, they eventually go to Ethiopia and adopt a baby boy named Kaleb.
