Thank you so much for your reviews. I truly love reading them
I am sitting across the table from Monica. She's actually really pretty. She and I would make a beautiful baby I think. Well that is, if she wants to go through with it. I guess I will know soon enough.
"So, while you're pregnant if you chose to do this, you can stay here. I will take care of everything. The doctor bills and anything you might need. Such as maternity clothes, any foods that you would want to eat and even Lamaze classes. I'll pay for everything so you won't have to worry about it. You would get your own room and own private bathroom as well."
She nods while looking at me. "How would this work exactly? Me getting pregnant I mean."
I set my coffee cup down after getting a drink. "We would go to a fertility specialist and he would take my specimen and put them into your uterus. After we make sure you're healthy enough to carry a child. You're young so it shouldn't be a problem." I tell her. "You will get paid into two increments. Once after you get pregnant. You will receive $1000. Then when you give birth, you will get paid the other $1000. Now, since I am paying for everything you can save it if you like."
She nods again, she looks more comfortable than she did at the start of the conversation which is good.
"What about after the baby is born? Will I see him or her, will I see you? Or do we pretend this never happened?"
"Well typically I guess I wouldn't see you but if you want to be involved you can." I don't see anything wrong with that. "Is this something you would be interested in doing?"
She taps her fingernails on the table while she contemplates her choice. I want her to take her time. This is a big deal and I want her to do this because she wants this. This affects her as well. Not just me.
"I just have a question first. Why don't you want to get married? Do this the natural way."
"Well, I don't really have the best luck with women. So this is the next best choice."
She nods again as she thinks. We both have blue eyes. Biology isn't something I am good at but I am pretty sure our baby will have blue eyes.
She breaks my thoughts when she says. "I'll do it."
I look at her in surprise. I would think she would need a couple days to at least think it over. "Really?" I still can't believe she decided to so fast. It's a big deal. For nine months, her body will be doing all sorts of things. There's the morning sickness, skin stretching, feet swelling, stomach growing so much she won't be able to see her feet, all the kicking that will keep her up, weird cravings and an aching back. And not to mention the painful labor she'll endure.
What a strong woman she must me.
"Yeah, I want to do this for you." She says with a smile.
She has a nice smile. She really does seem like a sweet lady.
"When do we start?" She asks me.
"Well, I can call and make an appointment so we can get this started. Then I can give you a call."
She stands up and shakes my hand. "Thank you for meeting with me."
I smile at her. "And thank you for coming."
I don't see a ring on her finger so she isn't married. "Is your boyfriend ok with you doing this?"
She smiles shyly, blushing a little. "I don't have a boyfriend."
Well that's good. "Do you want to see where you'll be staying?"
"I would love too." She says, pulling her purse on her shoulder.
I lead her up the stairs and down the hall. We get to the room and I open it. There is a large dresser, a full length mirror, a queen sized bed, two night stands and a huge walk in closet. To the right there is an attached bathroom. There's a walk in shower with glass doors, a large bathtub for baths and two sinks. A large mirror hangs on the wall.
"This is beautiful." I hear her say in awe.
I smile. I seem to be smiling a lot around her. "I'm glad you like it." I point to the bathtub. "I have been doing research and apparently when you get really pregnant, baths are very soothing when you get uncomfortable."
"So I hear." She says it like she really isn't looking forward to that part.
I don't blame her, it doesn't sound like a walk in the park. She doesn't know this yet, but I am great at massages. I will be a big help during this pregnancy. After all, it will be my baby and all.
The only difference is, it won't be conceived the fun way. I'm ok with that though. Just as long as everything goes smoothly.
"If you want, after all this is over I can get you a job."
Her eyes light up. "Really?" She looks like a kid in the candy store right now. So cute.
"Yeah, you said you don't have a job right now right?"
She nods, eager to hear more from me.
I shut the door behind us as we walk out. "Well, you said you're a chef and I have a dear friend that owns a couple restaurants. Right now, he's in the process of opening up a third one. It's still in the building stages right now but once the baby is here, and you're able to work, it will be finished. I can have him hold the chef position open for you."
Her face looks like I just handed her a million dollars.
"Oh thank you so much. That would be awesome."
"Of course, after all you're doing for me, it's the least that I can do."
She grabs her jacket and I walk her to the front door. "It was really nice meeting you Monica."
She smiles softly at me. "It was a pleasure meeting you too."
I open the front door and watch her walk down the steps and over to where her car is parked next to mine.
I shut the door once she's in her car. A couple more people called about this job. I don't think I need to see anyone else.
I grab the list of women and my phone. "Well, time to tell everyone the position has been filled." I say softly to myself.
