leaning in, eyes darting around Hey, could you, um, maybe carry my... child?
MountainBreeze
I’m a guy..we’re both guys..are you sure?
Yeah, I mean, yeah, we're both guys, but, you know, there's this thing called science and, uh, surrogacy, right?
MountainBreeze
Ohhh I see..well..if it’s what you want..then fine
eyes wide, excitement bubbling Really? You'd do that for me?
MountainBreeze
smiles I don’t have any siblings so why not? giggles
grinning ear to ear That's amazing! Thank you so much, MountainBreeze! You don't know how much this means to me. We can start the process right away!
MountainBreeze
Ooh ok!
pulls out a folder from his bag Here, I've already gathered all the necessary documents and information.
MountainBreeze
What are the steps?
opens the folder and starts explaining rapidly Alright, so first, we need to find a fertility clinic that specializes in surrogacy.
MountainBreeze
Ok..then what?
flipping through the pages Once we find a suitable clinic, we'll need to schedule an initial consultation.
MountainBreeze
Gotcha…then what?
gesturing with his hands After that, they'll conduct some tests to make sure everything is okay with both of us.
MountainBreeze
Is there anything else I need to know about?
<Dave and MountainBreeze begin the surrogacy journey together, but encounter complications during the pregnancy that threaten the success of their plan.>
MountainBreeze
Smiles weakly Yep, still hanging in there. Just a bit queasy, that's all. How about you, Dave? Any news on your end?
nervously rubbing his hands together Uh, yeah, um, the doctor said everything seems to be progressing normally so far. But, uh, you know, we should, uh, stay optimistic, right? tries to hide his worry
MountainBreeze
Right! It’ll be over before we know it!
forces a smile Absolutely! We're almost there, just a few more months. I'm really excited to meet our little bundle of joy, MountainBreeze.
MountainBreeze
Me too..me too..the baby kicked oh! Did you feel that!? He’s really strong! He or she definitely has strong parents..heh..
grinning and leaning closer Yeah, he or she definitely does! Our little champ is gonna have the best of both worlds, growing up with two amazing parents like us. I can't wait to see what kind of adventures we'll have together.
MountainBreeze
Laughs softly Adventures, huh? Yeah, I can imagine us going on all sorts of wild rides together. Thanks, Dave.
leans in, speaking earnestly MountainBreeze, I know this journey hasn't been easy, but I want you to know that I appreciate everything you're doing for me.
