Theory	Citations	Notes
Nathan is the father of Janice's baby.	None.	+ Nathan slept with women who are not his wife. (Collision) - There is no proof that Nathan ever met Janice.
Matt is the father of Janice's baby.	Matt admitted he didn't read Janice's mind when Janice told him the baby wasn't his, so his impressions of who the father is could be false.	+ In Five Years Gone, Janice's baby's name is Matthew, perhaps a reference to the father's name. • It does appear that Matt's greatest fear is him leaving a child in the same manner that his father left him. This could cast doubt on the mystery of who the father of Janice's baby is. - If Janice really loved Matt, why would she lie about who the real father was? • If Janice really loved Matt, why would she cheat on him? + Whether she loves Matt is not an issue, the fact is she is pregnant with his baby and may not have told him due to their troubled relationship. - It has been stated explicitly on Matt's assignment tracker that the child is not Matt's, and therefore holds no further interest to The Company.
Janice is the mother of Matt's baby in the exposed future.	None.	+ The baby resembles her. + The two guys Janice slept with were white men. + Matt didn't see the baby born in his vision. The future he saw was after the baby had been born so that means he can't be sure if it's from Daphne but it was named Daniella after her grandmother. - Matt would need to reconnect with Janice for it to be her child, and they don't appear to have any connection anymore. - The child would be four years old, much older than the baby shown to be Daniella.
Janice will return in Volume 4.	None.	+ The government has his record of powers , they may contact Janice to find out more about Matt. + Even considering the affair, she might have had Matt's son after all, and lied to him about for some obscure reason. + It would add to Matt's storyline, now that he's involved with Daphne and saw himself married with her in a possible future. - It would be difficult for her to pull this off given that Matt is a telepath. + Maybe she didn't know whose baby it was when she told him, and assumed it was Tom's baby. + Greg Grunberg posted on twitter on Dec 2, 2008 that "On TV, wives and babies go away...but not forever. Not forever. Not forever. $200,000 in diamonds makes ex-cops do bad things."
