Malcolm & Eddie - Season 3 Episode 14

At her surprise 30th birthday party, Nicolette reacts badly and bolts from the club. Coming back later to apologize, she confesses to feeling unfulfilled by turning 30 childless. To make sure another unsatisfying birthday doesn't come and go, Nicolette announces that she's going to be artificially inseminated. And for moral support, she asks Malcolm to join her at the sperm bank. After a humorless interview with her insemination counselor, Nicolette has second thoughts about using an anonymous donor. As a result, she asks Malcolm to be the father of her child, and to do it without using artificial insemination. And while he's flattered to be asked, Malcolm wants to think about it first. Once he's had a chance to mull it over, Malcolm agrees to help Nicolette out. During their first attempt at conception, both parties are nervous. However, once they have a chance to discuss the details, they find that there's little they agree upon when it comes to raising a child. As a result, Malcolm and Nicolette both agree to wait.
