AttentionParenthoodfans: It is now safe to open your eyes and resume breathing.
Who else needed a few (or 20) tissues after that news?
Lets break down the most poignant moments from The Waiting Room.

One minute into the show.
Well done,Parenthoodwriters, well done.
Seems the proud great-grandpa to be spilled the beans about Ambers pregnancy, but Amber doesnt care.
In fact, she shares her first ultrasound picture with Zeek and wants him to have it.
After wondering aloud how Ryan is doing with the realization that hes going to be a father (Oops!
Ryan still doesnt know!
They both admit theyre scared and Amber tearfully tells Zeek that we all get our strength from you.
Three minutes in, four tissues gone.
Zeek and Amber have always had a knack for making us cry, havent they?
The next day Amber shows up at Drews dorm room (good to see you, Drew!)
and admits she shouldve told him about her pregnancy.
Drew totally understands, as usual.
Seriously, has anyone ever seen that boy show any emotion other than passiveness?
He asks his sister what Ryan thinks about all of this.
OMG, WOULD EVERYONE just STOP ASKING ABOUT RYAN ALREADY!
Wait a minute, maybe that was me.
Of course he does.
You know what this means?
You know what I spy?
A PREGNANT WOMAN NOT WEARING A SEAT BELT.
Im pregnant, she tells an immediately happy and supportive Ryan.
Really, did anyone expect any less from him?
Yeah, apparently Amber did.
Shes surprisedand waryat his reaction, but wants to stay and give things a go with him.
Well, that was quick.
Drew wont hear of Amber staying in Wyoming.
and Amber of using the baby to try and change Ryan, but Amber is adamant about staying.
Its heartbreaking, but brave.
Looks like Amber may be following in her mothers footsteps in more ways than one after all.
Last night?LAST NIGHT?STOP IT, ZEEK.
The next day all four kids show up to wish him well before hes wheeled to surgery.
Ill be honest, I was expecting a lot more emotion from the team.
Im scared, Millie, he says as they wheel him into surgery.
Seriously, I cried longer and harder when I gave myself a paper cut yesterday.
In the waiting room, the gang is a bit self-absorbed and trying to distract themselves.
Julia thinks she likes him.
Sarah thinks she likes him.
The Twizzler marketing departmentreallylikes him.
Later, Joel calls Julia at the hospital and offers his care and support.
She finally tells him their relationship is just too hard and confusing, and that shes seeing someone.
You shouldve sent Twizzlers, dude.
After some hugging and tears (running out of tissues over here!)
Good news, right?
Then why am I so scared?
When Sarah tells Hank about it, hes despondent.
When Hank tells Rubys mom, Sandy, about it, shes enraged.
She needs a father!
The whole family is a real treat.
Sarah needs to escape.
