coming, but you didn't say that you tested positive.
I just donated so recently, so wanna try later?
[woman] What's the likelihood of, you know...?
Well, I'm saying there'll just be a little less,
- that's all, you know? - [woman] Yeah.
And then we could either try later tonight or maybe in the
morning, come by for breakfast.
I really prefer to do it as many times as possible,
you know, to increase the chances.
[Ari] Yeah, I know, but it's only been a few hours,
so I figure it'd be nice to give me a little bit of time
to replenish.
Otherwise, it's a little extra work.
But if we try now, we could also try in the morning as
- well, you know. - You know,
I feel bad because I think...
I think of some of those months I missed,
- if we would have tried... - I could've been pregnant.
You could've had your baby here at this party.
Yeah, well...
We would have a one year old right now...
- Mm. - If we didn't miscarry.

Thanks.
I have a good friend that has the same name,
Rachel.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, she lives in Nashville.
How long have you known her for?
[Steve] Oh, about a year.
She has some medical issues, so...
I haven't seen her in a while.
But I might go to see her tomorrow.

Can you recap to me, 'cause I'm just curious,
'cause I can't ever remember stuff but...
you have how many babies now that have been born?
[Steve] Five.
And then do you have anyone expecting right now?
[Steve] Two more.
Two more expecting!
[unwrapping] Oh my gosh, this is so cool!
That's awesome.
[Steve] This is the one from my house that you always
admire, and so I wanted you to have it.
Something to brighten your spirits.
Um...
what do the doctors say?
Are you going to improve?
Are you gonna stay the same?
I got out of the hospital on Saturday,
and then, I mean, my doctor has told me that things are
gonna start to get difficult, which I can...
definitely already feel.
There's a big potential for death,
and no one wants to die alone.
I just wanna have someone that I love...
holding my hand, just to be present with me.
[Steve] I'll hold your hand...
if you let me.
You know you're in trouble when you...
when you double your age and you don't see yourself as
probably still being around.
Then you think about it more.
So...
- [Rachel] Yeah. - But...
[sighs]
You know, during this process, I've enjoyed hearing about
your continued success, and these babies that are just so
beautiful that look like you.
[voice wavering] But there's the heartbreak too,
you know?
[Steve] Yeah.
[Rachel] For, like, years, I've been like,
"This is what I want so bad."
And I felt so good for the
eight, nine months that we tried this.
I thought we could make a pretty baby...
if it worked out.
[Rachel] We would have made a pretty baby.

I think there's multiple...
alternate universes, and in one of those universes,
we have a child...
