Why did I go along with it? I guess I feel like everyone has the right to experience motherhood and parenting. And the thought of my sister picking sperm from a catalog just made me sad. I don’t know, maybe it was all the wine I’d drunk that night. But when Marnie asked us, it seemed like the most natural idea in the world. Of course, I assumed they would use a more clinical method. I also assumed Marnie was pretty set on the whole women-loving-women thing. Now they live in Palm Springs, Marnie and Bill and baby make three.

Thanks Jarvis!
This is great, jenny! Thanks!
If only things had gone so, um, well. Turns out he handed over the sperm sample without my prior knowledge and after the baby was born my sister’s girlfriend (now wife) tried to steal my husband. Needless to say, hubby and I split up, I had an affair with my first baby daddy, and my niece/stepdaughter has been banished from my sight to another continent.
