A/N: I know this short but it's what I have so far. This has been kicking around in my head for awhile now so I thought I'd go ahead and write it. Enjoy! Cut and Paste reply at the end.
"Um... no. No Marco that completely pins the weirdness meter." Paige Michalchuk looked at her best friend and brother-in-law Marco Del Rossi and rolled her eyes at his pleading expression.
"Paige please. This is really important to Dylan and me. We want a family." Marco leaned his head against Paige's shoulder as he tried to convince her to do him this huge favor.
"Then adopt. There are tons of children who need homes out there. This is of course assuming you get to them before Brangelina does anyway." That last bit was a lighthearted dig at Marco's obsession with the famous couple.
"It's not like we don't think we'll ever adopt a child, we just want one of our own. A baby that has both of our chromosomes and family traits."
This discussion had been going on for over an hour and so far Paige didn't even seem remotely about to budge. Marco couldn't understand it, he knew it was asking a lot but still...
"Paige sweetie, I know it's strange but will you at least think about it?"
"Marco, you're asking me to let you fertilize one of my eggs and be an incubator for your baby. I just don't know if I can do that." Paige had dropped her firm attitude and instead was just being honest with him.
At his crestfallen look Paige reached over and took his hand in hers. She let out a gentle sigh and leaned closer to him.
"I'll think about it Marco, I need to talk to Alex about it, but I will give it some serious thought before I say no for sure ok."
Marco sat up quickly and engulfed the blonde in a bone-crushing hug.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you Paige."
"Calm yourself Del Rossi, I haven't said yes and I might not either." Paige replied with all seriousness.
The young man nodded his head enthusiastically. "I know Paige, but the fact that you're thinking about it at all... well it means a lot to me and it will mean a lot to Dylan too."
"I know Marco, I suppose that's why I'm even considering it enough to bring it up to Alex." Paige got up from the table and walked over to the refrigerator. Just as she opened the door to peruse the contents the front door slammed and a feminine voice called out,
"Paige! Baby, I'm home."
Paige could feel herself blushing as she saw Marco regarding her with a smirk.
"I'm in the kitchen with Marco Hon." She called back.
"Well you were in the kitchen with Marco, but Marco needs to head back home."
"Coward." Paige shot at him as she grabbed a dish towel and threw it at him.
"Not really, but I think you two need to be alone for this." Marco said with a smile as he backed up. Right into a grinning raven haired woman.
"Sorry Alex, I'd love to stay and talk but I have to get going." And with that the two women were left in their kitchen.
"Alone huh? Why do we need to be alone? You planning on seducing me Michalchuk?" Alex asked her girlfriend while wrapping her in an embrace.
"Uh... not right now Hon. Ummm... right now I need to talk to you about something."
Alex pulled back in concern at the tone of Paige's voice.
"Baby, everything all right?" She asked as she gently moved a lock of hair out of Paige's eyes.
"Yeah, yeah everything's fine. Umm... it's just that Marco came over to ask me something important and it's something that I think you and I both need to make the decision about." Paige led Alex over to the table noting the irony of having this conversation a second time in the exact same spot.
"Ok, so what did your little bro-in-law want? A kidney? Has he decided that he's not gay anymore and wants to have a threesome? Or-"
"He wants to have a baby." Paige blurted out.
Alex sat stunned for a moment before chuckling to herself.
"But Paige, sweetie doesn't Marco realize boys can't do that together?"
Paige rolled her eyes at her girlfriend's deliberate obtuseness.
"Yes he realizes that, that's why he asked me to be the mother."
TBC...
Reply (cut and paste): OMG! That is weird, but how cute baby Darco maybe. I wonder what Alex's reaction will be.
