Chegwidden home
McLean, Virginia
In the Chegwidden household everything was as wonderful as it could be. The twins Lilac and Rose were four months old now and a delight to their parents. Krista was declared completely cured of the cancer and she was also doing very well in her counseling sessions. AJ attended the ones that Dr. Stephanie Malcolm told him to attend, because he wanted to fully understand what was going on with her.
However in the Boone household things were not so wonderful. Krystal and Tom were happy in their marriage and things were going well there, but they had been trying to have a baby since they got married eight months ago and were not having any luck. So both of them went to the doctor to be tested and just last week they got the results of the tests. Krystal had a deformed uterus from the beatings she had as a child from their father. She would never be able to have children. They would have to adopt if they wanted a family.
Krista and AJ had ached for them at the news since the four of them were as close as could be. That was why Krista now was about to approach AJ with an idea she had. Wanting to run it by him before she spoke to Krystal and Tom about it she waited until Saturday so she could talk to AJ while he was not tired out after a long day at work. She had just put the twins down for their nap, and located AJ in the backyard playing with Dammit and Hooyah.
"AJ?" Krista asked coming up to him, and in the process getting attacked by the puppy. She absently played with Hooyah while she waited for her husband's full attention.
"Yes, darling, did you need me? Are the girls asleep?" he said taking her in his strong arms and kissing her.
"Darling, I will always need you, but right now I think that we are needed more elsewhere. I need to talk to you about something very serious."
"Krista, have you been to your doctor lately? Is everything alright?" he asked sitting down on the ground and pulling her into his lap. "Have you had bad news, my love?"
"I'm fine, Albert!" she smiled tenderly at him. Amazed that his first concern was always for her. "The babies are fine and so am I, the transplant was a total success, the only ones with bad news were Krystal and Tom last week and I have been thinking about that. That's why I wanted to talk to you first."
"What can we do to help them? They need to see an adoption agency. We can give them good references, but I don't think we can do much else," he replied frowning. "You're up to something, my darling wife, aren't you? You have devised a plan to help Tom and Krystal have a baby? What have you done, and am I going to like it?"
"I haven't done anything...yet...I wanted to talk to you first. I want to help them have a baby. They look at ours and they know how much the twins mean to us, and how much we love them and they love them too. I would like to help them have a baby of their own, Albert. I had such an easy pregnancy and delivery with the twins...would you let me have a baby for them?"
"Mrs. Chegwidden, please explain? Have a baby for them? Would Tom be involved in this along with you?" AJ frowned, not liking the idea already.
"Well, Tom would be involved of course, Mr. Chegwidden. But what I was thinking was this, that they mix his sperm and her egg and put it in me and I can just play oven for them!"
"I'm not sure you're ready for something like this, darling. It's so soon after the transplant. Have you talked to your doctor before you concocted the idea?" AJ asked worried as usual she was going to do something that would cause him to lose her.
"Yep, I talked to him yesterday when I took the twins in for their check up and he said that I was fully recovered and he could see no reason that I couldn't have another child this soon. It won't even effect my nursing the twins! So what do you think, Albert? Could we do this for them? I know we want more of our own but we have tons of time to do that, and I know how badly they want a child...please?"
