( Peter sees that moment of hesitation in Jemma, and it's then that he's in tune to the yelling behind Fitz's door (loud and terrible and angry and drunk). It confirms what Peter already learned when he met Fitz as a child. It solidifies his already terrible view of Fitz's father. It's one of those things he said to Fitz during- the one thing that made everything worse and terrible. His stomach twists up with a quiet protective rage.
And of course- of course Jemma's thinking of Fitz first, making sure he's okay, wanting to get him out of such a situation. She's very kind, very compassionate. She loves him very much.
He's afraid talking to Fitz about any of that stuff again would result in the same- the same situation. Things getting worse. Him hurting Fitz more, but it's worth it to check because he shouldn't endure another moment of it. Peter thinks of him as a kid, how scared he'd been- )
Then we'll do that. We'll get you out of here. Do you know if he's in... there? I can check.
