There once was a couple who lived in upstate New York. They
were a sweet, kind couple, who desired to have a large family. They tried and
tried and tried to have children, but alas, it was no use. They went to the
doctor hoping to solve the problem. He was a renowned doctor, and they hoped
greatly that he could help. The doctor gave them a few options. The first,
which was surrogacy, the couple thought could work. However, they preferred to
have a child with each other. After a long talk with the doctor, the couple
went home. They slept on it, took some time to themselves, and spent their
personal days contemplating each option that the doctor had given to them. They
finally came to a decision.
They decided to try in vitro fertilization. They set the
appointment date. The husband went in a few weeks early and did his business.
They were so excited they could hardly take it. They decided not to tell
anyone, including their immediate families, until they knew that the pregnancy
had taken.
The day finally came, and the woman went in receive the
treatment. She went into the doctor’s office and waited. She waited and waited,
and finally the doctor came in. His face was grim, and she immediately could
tell that something was wrong.
“What is the matter?” she brazenly demanded.
“Ma’am, bear with me – this has never happened here before.
I’ve never even heard of this happening. Somehow, we mixed up your husband’s
semen, and we impregnated another woman with it…”
The woman got up from her chair, left the room, and got in
her car. She drove to the nearest coffee shop, ordered a latte, and sat in her
car and cried.
But don’t worry; they ended up meeting the woman who was
impregnated with the husband’s sperm. She had the baby and gave it to them,
which was nice, especially since the in vitro didn’t work with the wife when
they tried it later. The couple sued the in vitro office and won enough money
to send 7 kids to college, and maybe even their grandkids too.

Author’s note: I took a section out of Buck’s Mahabharata. This particular section
tells the story of Uparichara having a wet dream and sending his semen to his
wife. However, the hawk charged with its delivery dropped the semen in the
water and impregnated a fish. A fisherman caught the fish and found a baby girl
in its stomach. I decided to modernize the story to make it more realistic.
