Several weeks later after being confronted by Sheldon , Amelia admits that she is 20 weeks pregnant with her deceased fiancé 's baby . At the moment , she is struggling on whether or not she should keep the baby and therefore , is heavily depending on Sheldon for advice . In the end she decides to keep the baby , but then she finds out her baby boy will be born with no brain , resulting in her shutting down emotionally and pushing her friends away . She eventually decides to continue the pregnancy to term and donate her baby 's organs when he dies , after a father of a patient she pronounced brain dead decides to donate his daughter 's organs so that something good can come from her death . In the season finale , she ultimately gives birth to her anencephalic son with the help of Addison and Jake . During her labor , she wishes to be left alone , fearing that if anyone was with her , she would break down and show her emotions . At one point while going through a painful contraction , she asks Jake to leave her alone , and when he refuses , she breaks down crying , letting all of her fears out in the open . Additionally while she is in labor , Jake finally tells the practice of her plans for organ donation which divides the doctors . Some believe it was a courageous act , while others believe it was murder . Sam is against the organ donation and refuses to do the harvesting , but after a talk with Amelia , he ultimately changes his mind . When it comes time for her to push , Addison hears her cries from outside the room and walks in . Amelia initially refuses Addison , but later allows Addie to coach her . When her son is born , she initially does not want to see nor hold him and wishes that his head be covered . Before taking him away for the donation , she decides to hold her baby , where she lifts the cap from his head . When the baby goes into respiratory distress in her arms , she momentarily breaks down , wishing for more time , but , then hands the baby over to Addison for the donation . Her last words to her son are `` Your daddy is waiting for you in heaven . His name is Ryan . ''
