Gayby Page #10

Can they navigate the serious and unexpected snags they hit as they attempt to get their careers and dating lives back on track in preparation for parenthood? 'Gayboy' is an irreverent comedy about friendship, sex, loneliness, and the family you choose.

It really was an accident.

And I didn't have sex

with anyone for months.

I blew up at Scott

on my birthday.

I'm really sorry.

I'll let you know when I'm

ready to accept your apology.

- Now?.

- No.

- Now?.

- No!

Now?.

Okay, but only because we have

a lot of baby planning to do.

?

Let's do it again.

No, I gotta go pump.

Can I help?.

You've done enough already.

Can't you just tell them

you're gonna be a little late?.

No, it's Matt's birthday.

Hi.

Jenn, Jenn, Jenn...

You know no shoes on this floor.

I need that milk, and sanitize.

Hey, do we--

Shh...

Logan's trying to sleep.

Hey. You look good.

What took you so long?.

Neil's downstairs.

We finally had sex.

Like a whole bunch of times.

Did you use a condom?.

What's a condom?.

Of course we used a condom.

Okay, I know you know this,

so forgive me,

but don't let him

stay up past 8 or 8;. 1 5,

otherwise he'll be up all night.

- I'm his mommy too.

- I know, sorry.

Jeez, he's like super-daddy.

Thank God.

Can you imagine if we had

to raise a kid by ourselves?.

[baby coos]

I absolutely cannot.

Me either.

Oh, birthday...

Happy...birthday.

Oh, you framed it!

That's so sweet.

Hey, look, look...

It's you.

And that's me.

And that's him.

- And that's your mommy.

- That's her!

Where should I put it?.

Just put it right here.

Thank you!

- You're welcome.

- So much!

Love you.

I wish you could

come with us tonight,

but he wants to have

the night out alone.

He has a surprise for me.

I know...

I am so excited that he's

going to ask you to marry him.

What?.

You looked like you knew.

You didn't know?.

No!

I am...

a compulsive birthday ruiner.

No, it's okay.

It's more than okay...

Okay, guys, we gotta go.

We have reservations.

Yes.

Bye little one.

I'm gonna miss you.

Bye-bye.

Wow.

You really do

look just like your daddy.

[baby coos]
