00:00Hello Thomas, come to the party with us, won't you?
00:05I'm not going.
00:06Please don't have sex in front of me again.
00:12Thomas, hi.
00:13Oh, I was hoping you'd come by.
00:15Thomas is a fabulous photographer.
00:18You're good?
00:19I think I am.
00:21What about you? What do you do?
00:22I'm a mommy.
00:25We love that.
00:26My best friend donated her sperm.
00:28There's no real rulebook for this.
00:30I didn't think it was an option until it happened.
00:32Oh, you're a dad.
00:34I was, but I was a foster dad.
00:41My husband Oscar and I had one year with Arthur.
00:45One birthday, one perfect summer, one Christmas, and one goodbye.
00:51Neither of you were his father.
00:53It was always temporary.
00:54He's going back to his birth mom.
00:58I don't know where to go from here.
01:00It's like all my options feel wrong.
01:04Yeah, you're my oldest friend.
01:06It's weird how we're going through something so similar yet so different.
01:10Didn't even bring me miscarriage flowers.
01:13What if I told you I brought you Italian food from that place on Hillhurst?
01:18Go get it, I'm hungry.
01:20Come on, it feels like everyone we know is either having kids or talking about having kids.
01:26Looking at options for us.
01:28Let's find out if you're fertile.
01:29You're not doing this for us, you're doing this for you.
01:34You and I decided this.
01:35You were devastated.
01:36I was devastated, but what about you?
01:39I don't want to be a father, I don't.
01:41What does that mean for us?
01:42I feel like I already lost you.
01:45You want to look back on your life and know that you fought when things got hard.
