ita, I was assuming he didn't forget so much as it revivified and attached itself to him, being that it was the advanced-handwave-Sebacian embryo.
I could squeeze you until you popped like warm champagne, and you'd beg me to hurt you just a little bit more.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The wee bairn unskittled itself? Why (and how) would it do that?

Strawberry disappointment.
It did it because of reasons, you see. And because of those reasons, that's how and why it did it.

That's right. Very very important reasons. That's why.

I read an awful, condescending article about Sci-Fi Channel in EW - the Sci-Fi execs hold their audience in such disdain, it's sickening. Basically, there was a shot from the Peacekeeper Wars, it was mentioned in the lead-off, but then it talked about how Sci-Fi has been doing better since they stopped airing, you know, science fiction. I'll see if I can link or repost.

Why (and how) would it do that?

So that Rygel would wind up carrying John and Aeryn's baby for a while. For the funny!

I loved it, of course. I had issues with the crystalline-baby-reconstitution as well, but well, totally nonsensical plot device. Okay. I particularly liked Aeryn's conversation with D'argo, where it's clear that while she's fiercely protective of the baby, she doesn't have any actual attachment to it yet. I thought that rocked, both because it was a startling declaration of love for John, but also in how it totally subverted the usual representations of pregnancy.
It's funny; although I really loved Aeryn's pregnancy, I was kind of surprised by the baby. Like, oh, it's... a baby. Like, with gender and everything. Nah, I kind of liked it better as a pregnancy. I also found the last scene a little tacked on and uninspiring, but then there was the big pull-back shot of Moya, and that made me all verklempt so it was okay.

I freaking loved that too. Also how she was squicked when the baby started moving, and had a "Oooookay, living thing inside me! Kinda not fun anymore!" moment. It was so honestly written.
