John Dickinson

John Dickinson is the father of Betty Nelson.
==History==
When their daughter, Britney (also known as Betty), called them from rehab, John and his wife Carol came to Seattle to find her. When they learned she'd run away from rehab, they went over to the hospital, where they found Amelia. They were confused as to how Britney had met her in the first place and she explained that it was through Leo. They hadn't known she had given birth to a baby and asked to see him immediately. After meeting Leo, they decided they wanted to take him back to the hotel with them, but Owen said he was Leo's legal guardian and wouldn't allow it. ("I Walk the Line")
When they came back to the house to pick up Leo to take him home with them, Owen was paged to the hospital to deal with a mass overdose. Amelia stayed behind, but was later called in because Betty was among those brought in and had collapsed with chest pain. John and Carol waited in the waiting room with Owen and Amelia for news on Betty while she had heart surgery. When they were told Betty would be okay, they were excited. However, Carol wasn't sure how they'd tell Betty that Linus, her boyfriend, had died while she was in surgery. John didn't want to, but Amelia said she needed to know and hoped it would be Betty's bottom as Ryan had been for her. ("I Want a New Drug")
Two weeks later, when Betty had mostly healed from her surgery, they packed up Leo's things and left to take both of them home. However, later that night, they brought Leo back, as Betty had decided she wanted to get to be a kid and she couldn't do that if she had to be Leo's mom. She decided to give Leo to Owen and Amelia. ("We Didn't Start the Fire")
