'We made a mistake.' Who knew that those would be the best words that she'd ever hear. Once upon a time she'd been told that she wouldn't be able to have kids, to have the joy of raising a family. It had all been a mistake from the gynaecologist, it hadn't been until her tablets to regulate periods had stopped working, and she'd gotten a new gynaecologist that she was told that she wasn't infertile. However a new problem stemmed from this seedling of knowledge having been planted in her head, for someone on the wrong side of 40 her biological clock was ticking. She'd been told that as she got older the less likely it was that she'd get pregnant and the more likely that the pregnancy would have more complications. Being a doctor, this was something that she'd already known about pregnancy in older women but it was completely different being told it when you're in that situation.
With no husband or no boyfriend on the scene the chances of having the family that she'd dreamed of when she was younger, and then only wanted again once she'd been told that she couldn't have it, seemed unlikely.
Zoe lay in her bed struggling to comprehend what she'd been told that day. She was now a woman crazed, the idea of not having a baby after the rollercoaster of problems that she'd rode just to get to this point, was a mad one. Whatever it took now she was going to have a baby, she even had a plan as to how she was going to achieve it. The plan itself was not a well thought through plan and certainly had a few holes in it, but then with the mindset she was in the fact that she'd even come up with anything that resembled a plan was a feat to be proud of.
She walked over to a cupboard on the other side of her bedroom and pulled out a 2014 diary, if this was going to be done then it was going to be done properly. Thinking back she doodled in when her last period had been and from there tried to figure out when she'd been ovulating, something easier said when done when you were anything but regular and had tablets in case you hadn't bled in three months. This caused the first modification to the plan, it was now to try and have as much sex as possible.
She didn't care the means as long as at the end of it all there was a baby laying in her arms of which would grow up calling her 'mummy'.
A/N Sorry for this being such a short start, hopefully the next chapters should be longer. There's a lot I'd like to tell you right now but then I'd almost certainly ruin it, so please just bear with me for a while. I'd also just like to tell you all now that I have a lot of ongoing fics and I'm not really great at regular updates but please don't let that put you off because once my exams are done I will be doing my best to post every other day or so. Thanks for reading and if you have read my author's note then thanks for reading my ramblings too, I shall let you get on with your day now.
