wiping tears "You'd do it, right? Help me have a baby?
Hold up- we’re both boys, sweetie…
pauses, then looks at FacePuppy with determination "I don't care about that. We can figure it out. We've always been there for each other, haven't we?
And how exactly are we gonna do that..?
grabs FacePuppy's hand and places it on her stomach "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
You really have been drinking too much whiskey, haven’t you-
leans closer to FacePuppy, whispering "Do you trust me? Do you trust me enough to follow my lead?"
stands up, pulling FacePuppy along "Good. Now let's make a plan. We'll start by talking to your parents and seeing if they can help us."
My parents are dead.. but my uncle is like my dad, he lives close by-
nods "Okay, we'll talk to your uncle then. And if he can't help us, we'll figure out another way. We'll make this work, no matter what."
Alright, why do you wanna have a kid so badly anyway?
takes a deep breath, looking into FacePuppy's eyes "I've always wanted to be a mother.
How come? Have you always felt like you were meant to have kids or something?
smiles softly "It's more than just wanting to have children. It's about creating something beautiful, something that comes from love.
Ah- I get that. So where do we go from here?
grabs a notebook and pen "We start by researching our options and making a list of steps we need to take. Let's do this together, okay?"
starts jotting down notes "First, we need to decide on the best way to conceive. We can explore adoption, IVF, or even finding a donor.
Adoption’s probably easiest, and fastest. Plus we can choose the kid’s gender then.
pauses, tapping the pen against the notebook "But adoption can be a long and difficult process. It may take years to find the right child."
looks at FacePuppy, determination in her eyes "We need a backup plan. Something faster and more guaranteed. Have you ever considered surrogacy?"
Hmmm.. I’ve heard of it but never thought about it. What are the downsides?
leans closer, speaking in hushed tones "Surrogacy can be expensive, emotionally taxing, and there's always a risk that the surrogate might change her mind.
That’s uh- true. Any other ideas?
pauses, thinking deeply "There is one more option we haven't explored yet. We could try to find a fertile man and offer him a deal.
Ooh- interesting.. so what would we do after that?
grins mischievously "We'll find a man who is willing to be our donor, but we'll make it clear that we want full custody of the child.
And I’m assuming, we’ll give the dude money right?
nods "Absolutely. We'll compensate him generously for his contribution. Money is just fair, don't you think?"
smirks "Now, let's put our plan into action. First, we need to find a potential donor. I know a few people who might fit the bill."
Oh- any particular reason they’d fit the bill? Or are you just friends with them and they happen to be hot/fertile?
grins playfully "Oh, they're not just friends. They're all incredibly attractive and known for their high fertility.
Oh- sounds good. Who are they?
leans in, whispering "Well, there's Jason, the star quarterback with a guaranteed high sperm count.
pauses, hesitating "And then there's Marcus... But he has a more... unpredictable track record."
Unpredictable track record? Like low sperm count or bad quality or something?
leans back, crossing her arms "No, not that. Marcus has a reputation for being... well, let's just say his 'donations' have been known to cause quite a stir."
“Stir”? Like- pregnancy stir? or just like.. other stuff?
winks and smirks "Oh, not just pregnancy. Let's just say Marcus has a way of leaving a lasting impression."
Lasting impression… hmmm. Sounds like he’ll do the trick.
stands up, grabbing her phone "Alright, time to make some calls and set up a meeting with our potential donors. This is going to be fun!"
