All catalyzed by his love for Evan, and his burgeoning feelings for Holland. Confronting some of his own baggage while learning to be an unexpected father sparks some really wonderful introspection- we see Reed rethink his priorities and desires, and we see him let go of some past pains. We got the level headed, charismatic, affable man we saw in NN, but we also get a man with complex layers and some really well written character growth. But now that they're spending lots of time together- and a delicious arrangement is born. But Reed's a player, in more ways than one, and his sister Emery might not take too kindly to these two canoodling. Only challenge is that he's recently started to see the luscious Holland in a more than friendly way- and little does he know, Holland has crushed on him since childhood. Serendipitously, he knows his sister's best friend is in need of some extra income- and he soon discovers she's a bit of an Evan-whisperer, second only to Pickles the octopus, of course, so she's the perfect travel companion for baby Evan. But his bachelor lifestyle isn't the only barrier to this new challenge- Reed's full time hockey career keeps him busy, and the road, more than ideal, especially when trying to form a relationship with sweet little Evan. As the result of unexpected and tragic circumstances, Reed finds himself the newly minted single dad to precious little Evan.
