Weiss also mentioned in her interview that the baby had been a big part of the season that they had touched upon a lot of times, and had been a part of the larger series conversation about difference. The series creator also revealed that Toby and Lily's story arc was one of her favorites in the whole series; thus, it is highly probable to see a number of scenes involving the couple.
