Jeremy

Jeremy is the friend of Veronica.

History
Jeremy came to the clinic when his best friend, Veronica, was there waiting for tests after Alex noticed a rash on her hands at the courthouse. They soon learned that Veronica, who was pregnant with Jeremy's child, had advanced pancreatic cancer. The doctors recommended that Veronica terminate the pregnancy so she could start treatment immediately. The treatment would only give her about another year, but without it, she wouldn't live long enough to deliver a healthy baby.

Bailey, with pressure from Veronica, who wanted their baby to be able to grow up with Jeremy, whom she said would be a great dad, agreed to do a Whipple to remove the bulk of the tumor, with the hopes it would give her enough time to deliver a healthy baby before dying.

While Veronica was in surgery, Jeremy confessed to Alex that he didn't know what to do. Alex advised him to show up, that that was all he could do and the best thing he could do.

Familial
He and Veronica are expecting a child together.

Friendships
He and Veronica met as children and became friends. Their friendship remained into adulthood, when they made a pact to have a baby together at age 40 if they were still single then. When the time came, the learned it would be expensive. However, a drunken night led to them conceiving a child together.
