I guess he just wants the knowledge that his DNA will continue on more than he wants to be a day to day father. I think that he has a very realistic attitude towards the chances of a successful relationship with Amy. He wasn't enthusiastic about her keeping the child precisely because he'd never envisaged a future with her; it was clear to him, if not to her, that their sex was two lonely people seeking comfort in each other. Besides, it hasn't escaped his notice that Amy's concern for his health has been conspicuously below what you'd expect from someone who intends to spend the rest of her life with you.
