It's ten o'clock. Do you know where your sperm are?
Sperm salvage. Same old attractive nuisance. New twist.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She didn't dig for it.
If his claim is true, and she deceptively collected it, he didn't give it to her. Those are the words I'm going by, and I don't see the grey area there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Are we assuming the condom, or was that in one of the reports?
Honestly, I don't remember, but isn't one of them saying there was only oral sex, not vaginal? To make a baby via oral sex, there's got to be a way to transport the semen into the right place. Subtly.
I'm thinking it's really irritating to be subjected to "And then Wayne Brady said!" sort of conversations in the vicinity.
Oh, lord. My one coworker and I spent MONTHS constantly yelling about how we had to choke a bitch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

She could just run to the bathroom after he gifted her.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

This may explain why the relationship didn't last.

That's why I said subtly. I mean, I guess she could jump up without speaking, but come on! Even then, I don't see how you end up with a baby. But I guess anything's possible. Or someone's lying.

I do, depending on how she came to be in possession of it. If it was deposited by him, with her, I can't see that she deceptively collected it, because he willing engaged in the act with her. Granted, if she did secretly impregnate herself with it, she used it more, and in ways that differed from what he expected, after he assumed she was done with it. Don't get me wrong. I think if she did this, it was reprehensible. I still don't see why the child should suffer. And I do think that his suit should go forth.

Yeah, I'd like to know more about the method. If there weren't condoms involved, I'm imagining, "Excuse me, but I have to go spit in a turkey baster."

He deposited it in her mouth. No ovaries in there. Just by engaging in oral sex, I don't think that implies the level of responsibility you think accrues with sexual intimacy.

Okay, but what I'm saying is that if she deceptively collected it, he didn't give it to her, and she's not the owner.
That's what I don't think is grey.
I don't have enough facts to think up scenarios that are kinda like his version, or kinda like hers. So I'm going with a) he was right and b) she was right.
