The future of Lee and Lynn

Based on the little info we've gotten so far, do you think they're going to make it?
Personally, I don't think so. Everything we've ever seen about Lee in the past seasons indicates that he's an extremely solitary person, devoted to work without too much personal going on. He seems uncomfortable with emotion, and the pregnancy was something that blindsided him. (In fact, he seemed reluctant to deal with it at all until it was absolutely necessary, having become the proverbial elephant in the room.)
My take on the subject is that Lee is basically a good guy. Despite his shortcomings, he really wants to do the "right thing" (whatever that may in fact be), especially since it's been indicated that his own dad wasn't too great. Yet, as indicated in the short restaurant scene two weeks ago, Lee's and Lynn's views on parenthood are vastly different -- Lynn seems to have embraced the baby wholeheartedly, making it her entire life, while Lee is...not so much.
I'm curious as to what you all think.
