When Georgia gets pregnant, Zion introduces her to his parents, who warmly accept Georgia and take care of the pregnancy, but are angered with him and his irresponsibility getting Georgia pregnant during his gap year. After Ginny’s birth, Zion’s parents demand legal guardianship, which Zion initially protests against, but eventually gives in to. When Georgia took Ginny and left however, Zion and his parents looked everywhere for them and even called the cops, but with no succes.

It is later revealed that Zion moved on. When Georgia returns to his life along with Ginny, he’s still upset by her running away but is still happy to see Ginny again. When Georgia realizes Zion has other aspirations in his life, she makes a pact which means Georgia will largely raise Ginny alone, so that Zion can chase his aspirations.

Despite not being present in their everyday life, Zion still often visited Georgia and Ginny for her birthday, to bring Ginny to her grandparents and for ‘Fryday’, a Thanksgiving tradition Georgia came up with.
