In bed after making love, Evelyn and Celia discuss the child Evelyn wants with Harry. Celia presses for clarity: the baby would be raised by both Evelyn and Celia, and they would figure out how John and Celia fit into the family. Evelyn emphasizes that it would be their child emotionally and domestically, even if not biologically Celia’s.

Celia admits she has never wanted children and worries she cannot give Evelyn what Evelyn desires. Evelyn reassures Celia that this does not diminish their relationship and that Celia has already given her more than she ever imagined. The conversation shifts to logistics: Celia raises donor insemination, but Evelyn is concerned about discretion and believes intercourse with Harry is the most secure option to protect their privacy.

Needing reassurance, Celia asks whether Evelyn’s love and commitment remain centered on their partnership. Evelyn affirms that Celia is the person she loves and makes a life with, and that sex with Harry would be a means to conceive, not a romantic choice. With that assurance, Celia consents: if Evelyn wants a baby, they will make it work, and Celia will embrace the role of Aunt Celia as they define the boundaries together.

The scene closes with the couple reaffirming their bond through intimacy. Evelyn frames Celia’s consent and emotional generosity as the gift that enables Evelyn’s path to motherhood, a decision that quietly but decisively sets their future in motion.
