34-year-old single pansexual lawyer/stand-up comedian Mila Torres is at her regular gyno visit and her doctor brings up that her fertility is waning, and she might want to freeze some eggs or buy some sperm. Mila realizes that even though this MD is kind of a creep, he's right. She does want to have a kid, and time is of the essence.
At the other end of the birth industrial complex, a persistent reporter wants info on one of Mila's clients, a politician who is trying to block reproductive rights (even though he recently pressured a mistress to have an abortion).
Mila learns about an app called Baby Bank that connects prospective parents with prospective sperm. Some of the guys only want to donate the old-fashioned way, but there one super sweet guy, Aston, who has helped so many people get pregnant there's a Facebook group for all his progeny, and family reunions. He's got an info packet and references, who Mila calls. The first one is his mom!
It turns out that Aston is siblings with the persistent reporter, Ari, who Mila developed and instant, mutual crush on. You know the drill from there.
It's a cute story, but there's something about it that rubbed me the wrong way.

Your child will choose their gender one day. I flipped to the second one and that one read, But if you have to follow an antiquated tradition, the blood test indicates you're pregnant with a girl.
That was the last time I would use a queer bakery.
