He's cute. [And it's a little strange to realize Tommy's probably around the same age as Ack Ack. Strange to realize that Jimmy's not that much older than him, but has a son who - based on birth date - would be old enough to be Gene's commanding officer.

[It's asked more like he's intellectually curious than anything else, like he's wondering what it's like and if it's something for him rather than because he's digging for information. It's a little of both - Gene honestly doesn't think he's going to live long enough to have kids, so it is kind of an intellectual curiosity, and he wants to get Jimmy talking about stuff without making him feel uncomfortable, or like Gene's trying to pry. It's a weird balance to walk.]
