As noted in the Series trivia, there are some that consider the Twilight series to have been drawn from Roswell. This specific episode demonstrates that, yet again. The pregnancy in the last Twilight book, Breaking Dawn, has many, many similarities to the one seen here. Max worried about the health of the baby, and then (essentially) communicates with the baby, and even determines its sex. Tess, then getting extremely ill, to the point where Max then worries that he might lose her, as a result of the unexpected pregnancy. The Twilight books (and subsequent films) mirror all of these same plot points.
