* BaitAndSwitch: When Terry learns Sharon is in labor, he insists on getting the information from his perp before leaving because he won't have a chance otherwise, ominously saying he'll ''make'' him talk... cue Terry begging the perp in tears not to let him miss the birth of his baby, which works flawlessly.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: Terry is driven into a panic specifically at the thought of his pregnant wife being in the care of Jake during her labor and lays into him after Jake decides to follow Frederick's advice and take her to the hospital. As indicated under TheLoad entry, however, Jake is pretty much the only member of the precinct who is actually doing anything useful or helpful during the situation.

* InstantBirthJustAddWater: Subverted. Sharon's water breaks while at the precinct and she refuses to go to the hospital, so the team attempts to have her give birth at the precinct for some time. Then Jake decides enough is enough and brings her to the hospital; the baby is born over an hour after they arrive.

* DeliveryGuy: Played with. Jake does help Sharon when she does into labor, but since the show averts InstantBirthJustAddWater, he doesn't actually help deliver Ava; he at first attempts to get ahold of her doula, and when all other options fail, takes her to the hospital and lets the professionals handle it. His duties consist mostly of keeping Sharon comfortable and keeping everyone else from getting in the way.

* EvenEvilHasStandards: Terry gets the perp to talk when revealing his wife is in labor. The perp gives the information because he won't let a man miss his child being born.
* EveryoneHasStandards: Frederick turns on his doula mode when Holt "lies" that he threw away the duck. He then becomes completely professional and tells the 99 that they should take Sharon to the hospital, because he's worried about her blood pressure.



* GeekyTurnOn: When the internet goes down, Charles and Amy have to process all the paperwork by hand. Charles takes to this even better than Amy does, which she naturally finds very attractive.

** Holt spends most of the episode acting obstructive and sulky because he's offended that Sharon finds him upsetting and off-putting, and also stubbornly refuses to admit he threw away Frederick's duck;
** Gina can't quite move past her disgust of pregnancy and desperation to avoid Sharon at all costs (although admittedly, did still try to help);

Added DiffLines:

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Jake assumes that the doula will do his "vaginal Gandalf" thing and follow the book that Sharon and Terry had for the baby. Frederick, however, points out this isn't a safe place to have a delivery: the atmosphere is stressful with all the criminals in holding, there's no bed available, and Sharon's blood pressure is too high for him to have confidence. At a hospital, he can monitor her better with doctors to make sure she has no complications. Sharon and Terry later admit this was the right call, as she has a better experience in the hospital.

* UngratefulBastard: After Jake takes Sharon to the hospital, when he shows up Terry screams at Jake for disregarding their birth-plan and distrust of doctors. In his defence, he's clearly stressed and panicking, and once he calms down and learns / realises exactly how helpful Jake had been throughout the entire ordeal he makes a point of allowing Jake to be the first person besides Terry and Sharon to see their new daughter.
* WorkingWithTheEx: With Sharon in labor and both her doula and backup doula unavailable, Holt has to call upon his ex-boyfriend, Frederick, to come down to the precinct to check on her. The reunion is tense, to say the least (an antique wooden duck was involved in the breakup).
