Chapter Eight
Bianca held her breath as Kendall was speaking on the phone. "After talking to Zach and much consideration, I have agreed to allow Zach to donate his sperm to help you and Reese have another baby," Kendall stated.
Bianca didn't know what to say as she was so stunned by Kendall's agreeance to allow Zach to donate his sperm. "Thank you," was all she could manage. Her eyes filled up with tears. "How soon... how soon do you think we could start trying?" If Zach and Reese were ready, Bianca was ready to get the ball rolling and hopefully it wouldn't be long at all until a new baby would be a part of their lives.
"I can ask Zach to call you and you can set up a time to meet," Kendall suggested. "But I'd think within a few days if no one is busy..."
"Thanks, Kendall. I'll talk to Reese and we can call the Fertility Clinic. We'll get everything set up," Bianca said to her sister. "Tell Zach thank you as well from the bottom of my heart."
After she hung up from her call with her sister, she turned to Reese and said happily, "Kendall has relented. Get ready... we are having a baby!"
Reese was smiling from ear to ear. "Oh my gosh! That's amazing! When can we get started?" she asked.
"We should probably call the fertility clinic now and set everything up. Then we can call Zach and tell him to meet us there. I'm so excited, Reese! Do you think we'll have a boy this time... or a little girl?" Bianca asked. Whatever the case, it was going to be a special miracle.
Reese grabbed the phone so they could call the clinic. "I can't believe this is really happening!" They were going to have another baby. "I think it would be nice to have a boy this time," she said.
"Yes, a little boy would be great," Bianca agreed as her wife was making the call to the clinic. She couldn't wait to tell the girls the good news, but she decided it was probably best to wait until Reese was officially pregnant. She was all smiles as she waited for Reese to finish her call.
Reese called and made the appointment. She gave all the info over the phone, before confirming the time and date. When she got off the phone, she said to Bianca, "Tomorrow at 10 am. You're right; this family needs a little boy."
"Wow, we need to call Zach then and let him know," Bianca said as Reese told her the news. "I hope he's ready for this." She picked up the phone so she could do just that.
"I hope so too," she said as Bianca was making the call to Zach.

After Kendall had finished her call with Bianca, Zach came out of the kitchen where he had made some breakfast. He carried a tray of breakfast food over to the coffee table where Kendall was seated on the couch. "What did Bianca say?" Zach asked his lovely wife.
"Binks is really excited," Kendall said with a smile. "She wants to know how soon things can get started. She and Reese are going to call the clinic to set up an appointment."
"I'm glad she's happy," he said with smirk. "I just hope I have enough sperm to go around. I seem to remember giving you a big deposit last night." He reached for his glass of orange juice, taking a sip. He was really glad that Kendall was okay with the fact that he was donating again.
Hearing his comment, Kendall nearly choked on her juice. "I think you'll be fine," she teased.
Zach winked at his wife. "I do hope I have enough sperm to go around," he said as he began eating his breakfast. He wanted a baby with Kendall, plus he wanted Reese and Bianca to have their dream of a new baby as well.
Kendall returned Zach's sexy smirk. "I don't think you'll have to worry too much about it," she said as she ate her breakfast. "We'll just see how things go."
"You think I have an endless supply of sperm, don't you?" Zach joked with Kendall. Just then, the telephone rang.
"Hello," Zach spoke upon answering it. "Ohhh Hello, Bianca. Yes. Kendall told me the great news. Tomorrow at 10 AM, huh? Okay, I'll be there. Okay... you're welcome. See ya soon."
He hung up and turned his attention back onto Kendall. "I am giving your sister and her wife my contribution tomorrow morning," he stated.

The next day Zach arrived at the clinic at 10 AM. He walked up to the desk in front and said, "My name is Zach Slater. I'm here to uhhh... make a deposit."
Just then Reese and Bianca came in, overhearing what Zach had said. "Yep, he is. He is making a contribution just for us..." Bianca told the receptionist.
"I see," said the woman. "Come with me, Mr. Slater." Zach was lead off to a room to do his "thing."
After he had left, Bianca turned to Reese and smirked. "I wonder how long this is gonna take," she said with a little laugh.
Reese giggled as she was trying to keep a straight face. "Depends on how long it took the last time," she teased. "I don't think that time frame would have changed."
Zach was taken to a quiet room and given some x-rated magazines and an erotic movie so he could do his "business." The nurse handed him a cup with a lid for his sample just before leaving. "You mean I don't get any special help?" he asked her teasingly.
"Sorry, that's not in my job description," she laughed. Zach just shrugged. He then got relaxed and ready.
The nurse then called for Reese to go into an exam room so she could be prepped for the insemination. Bianca went with Reese as Reese had always been there for her when she had been pregnant with their daughter Gabrielle.
Reese was glad that Binks was with her as the doctor was examining her. She couldn't wait till it all was over. Hopefully she would become pregnant on the very first try.
It didn't take Zach long to get his sample. He took it to the nurse, trying not to smirk because he wasn't really the type of guy to get embarrassed. "Tell Reese and Bianca I'll talk to them later," he said, before leaving the clinic. He then showed up at Kendall's office to tell her how it went.
Dr. Clark came in to explain the procedure to Reese. It wouldn't take long at all to perform the insemination, but Reese would need to rest, lying down for approximately a half hour afterwards to better ensure the sperm would reach the egg. A nurse came in a moment later carrying the container of semen. "I think we are ready to get started," spoke Dr. Clark. Bianca silently thanked Zach for his part in this procedure.
Reese understood the procedure and was glad when they were finally ready. If she had to had to lie down afterwards, she was pleased to have Binks to keep her company. Her hand reached for Bianca's.
Bianca held Reese's hand and lightly kissed her fingers. It would be over in a matter of moments. Bianca was silently praying it would work. She hoped it was a one-time thing, as it had been when she gotten pregnant with Gabrielle.
Reese felt more comfortable and relaxed as Binks was holding her hand. She just had to get pregnant. She didn't know what they would do if this didn't work this first time around. Would Kendall consent to Zach making a second donation?
Soon the procedure was complete and the doctor left Bianca and Reese alone, so Reese could relax and hopefully the insemination would have a chance to work. After Dr. Clark had gone, Bianca snuggled up to Reese and gave her a soft kiss.
Reese felt very comfy with Binks by her side. She smiled and kissed her beautiful wife.. "I am so glad you're here," she said, as she was silently wishing the insemination would take.
"Won't the girls be surprised when we tell them we are pregnant?" Bianca said to Reese. "That is if we are pregnant." She sure hoped that they were. She continued to cuddle with Reese until the nurse came in and announced Reese could go ahead and get dressed.
"Thank you," she said when the nurse said she could change back into her clothing. She sat up and climbed down from the exam table.
It was Bianca who handed Reese her clothes. "Let's go home now," said Bianca after Reese was dressed.

Miranda and Aj were sitting on her bed together as they were talking. "Today is the day I want to talk to my mom about my conception," she said nervously.
Aj squeezed her hand. "It'll be fine," he assured her gently. "Whatever your mother says and no matter what happens, i will be there for you."
His promise was very sincere as he added, "You won't go through this alone."
"I love you so much, Ace," she said as she hugged him and held him in her arms. The two cuddled on Miranda's bed for the longest time.
"I wonder where my moms went today. I really need to talk to them," Miranda said. "They need to explain this to me. I need to know the truth."
"As soon as they return home, we'll talk to them. Until then, let's hang out and try to have some fun," AJ suggested.
"What would you like to do?"
"Why don't we listen to some music and dance?"
They were listening to music, dancing, and having a great time when Gabrielle came home and knocked on the door.
"What's going on Miranda?" Gabrielle asked as she looked over at AJ.
"Gabrielle, this is my best friend, AJ Chandler," Miranda introduced. "AJ, this is my little sister, Gabrielle."
"Nice to meet you, Gabrielle," AJ said.
"Nice to meet you, too."
After talking to Miranda and AJ for a few minutes, Gabrielle announced she had to be leaving. "Where are you going?" Miranda asked.
"Tell our moms I am going to spending the night with my friend Lauren, " Gabrielle said. "If they need anything, they can text me."
"Sure, I'll tell them," Miranda agreed.. "Have fun at Lauren's house."

Kendall was buried in paperwork when Zach arrived. She looked up as he strolled through the door. "Hey!" she said.
"How did it go?" she asked. "Did everything go smoothly?"
Zach gave his lovely wife a sheepish smile. "It was a lovely time - me, a small cup and a porno mag. You really should have been there," he told Kendall in a sexy voice.
Kendall smirked. "Aww! Did you want me there for inspiration?" she teased. "Mhmmm... I guess I'd be better than a porno mag."
"Yes, I really wish you had cum," Zach said emphasizing the last word. "The porno mag wasn't even all that good..."
Kendall giggled. "Well, since I couldn't cum then, how about when we get home?"
"I think that's a wonderful idea," agreed Zach. "It's been a very long day. We could head home, relax, and have dinner. I'm thinking we should order out... then have a night cuddling in front of the fireplace, just the two of us."
"I like that idea. But are we gonna stash the boys in the attic or something? They'll be home; it's the weekend."
Zach looked down at his watch, seeing it was rather late. "Right now they are probably in bed asleep and if not, they are probably in their rooms, seething, because they've both been grounded," Zach reminded.
"But yeah, if they bug us, we could lock them in the attic. It would serve them right after those wild stunts they have been pulling lately," Zach said teasingly.
Kendall groaned. "I like the idea of them getting locked up. Really, I do."
Zach chuckled at Kendall's words as she locked up her office and they got ready to leave. Once they got outside to his car, he put his arm around her and they drove home. When they got there, the house was completely silent and dark. Presumably, both of the boys had already gone off to bed. Zach went into the kitchen and saw evidence that one of the boys had cooked a meal. By the mess he found, he assumed it was Ian.
Kendall sighed, seeing the messy kitchen. "Really? They are old enough to clean up after themselves," she said.
"This looks like an Ian-mess," spoke Zach as he was scrubbing the counters and then loading the dishwasher. "We'll just have to ground him longer. He has no respect."
Kendall sighed. "I agree. I'm all for grounding him longer," she said. She was starting to get fed up with the boys and their constant antics.
"Hell, we could ground them both until they leave for college," Zach said as he cleaned up the last of the mess. "I'm scared one of them might get a girl pregnant before I have the chance to impregnate you."
Kendall groaned. "They had better not be getting any girls of any kind pregnant!"
"One thing I am not ready to be is a grandpa yet," Zach agreed. "Imagine that... It would make your mom a great-grandmother. She'd probably have a heart attack right on the spot. No wonder she flipped out so much about the boat house incident. She's not ready to knit any little sweaters yet."
Kendall nearly choked with laughter, but she had to admit that Zach had her mom pegged. She loved her mom. It had taken time to love her; at times she wasn't sure about her mom, because she was definitely something else.
"Yeah, I'll say. Her reaction would be complete chaos and I'm not even sure if she knows how to knit."
Zach smirked. "Yeah, I know it. I could never imagine your mother knitting. The whole thought of it is ludicrous," Zach replied as he took Kendall's hand and led her out of the kitchen. He then went to start a fire in their fireplace for their romantic evening together.
"Mmmm," she said. "A nice fire."
"You do know how I like a warm, toasty fire," Zach spoke as he lay some logs on the fireplace and then got the blaze going. He sat down on the rug in the den and waited for Kendall to join him.
Kendall sat down at his side. "Yes, I do. A hot, blazing fire is just perfect."
Zach smiled, wrapping his arm around his beautiful wife. "Having you here beside me is the most perfect thing ever, Kendall. Thank you for trusting me and letting me help Bianca and Reese today," he said, lightly kissing her lips.
Kendall kissed him back softly. "You're welcome. And thank you for taking my feelings into consideration," she replied.
Zach sat next to the fire, holding Kendall close in his embrace. It was very relaxing and comforting. "You nearly killed me last time... believe me, I learned my lesson," he said to her teasingly.
"Hey, can you blame me?" Kendall asked as she leaned in softly to kiss him.
"See. Good boys learn." she giggled softly. "You're smart."
"I love it when I'm bad, so you can punish me," said Zach with a smirk, laying back beside the fire and holding Kendall close. The fire crackled as the flames shone on Kendall's hair.

Reese and Bianca left the Fertility Clinic and returned home. Bianca entered the kitchen to start some dinner. She began wondering where the girls might be. It seemed the two of them had such busy lives growing up. It made her sort of sad, because she really missed having a little one at home. She hoped all that would change soon.
"What's for dinner?" Reese asked as she stepped in the kitchen.
"I'm not sure yet," Bianca replied as she was looking around for something good to fix. "What are you hungry for?" Since it would probably only be the two of them, surely she could come up with something to prepare.
Reese thought about it for a moment. "Mmmm... I could go for some grilled chicken with some kind of veggies."
"Ohhh yeah, that sounds yummy," Bianca agreed. "I'll go see what I can whip up." Bianca found some frozen chicken in the freezer and then started chopping up some veggies.
"Thanks," Reese said with a smile as she left the kitchen. She sat down on the sofa and flipped on the TV.
Soon Bianca had dinner simmering in a skillet. It smell absolutely divine. She went to brew some tea to go with their meal.
Reese could smell the delicious meal as she wandered back into the kitchen. "It smells fantastic," she said as she brushed up against her wife who was preparing the food.
Bianca turned the food with the spatula, finding it to be done. She put the food into a serving bowl and placed it on the table. "Dinner is served," she told her beautiful wife. "Hope you're hungry."
"I am starved," Reese said. Eager to eat the wonderful meal, she took her seat at the table.
Bianca got a couple of glasses of freshly brewed iced tea and set them down on the table. "Ahhh... a nice dinner, just you and me," Bianca said as she sat down with Reese. They began to eat the yummy meal. "Not bad if I do say so myself," Bianca spoke of the food, grinning at Reese.
Reese smiled at Bianca. "It is nice," she agreed as she picked up her fork and tasted her food. "Mmmm, Bianca, this is great."
Bianca returned the smile as she and Reese continued on with their dinner. "So have you heard from the girls today?" Bianca asked her wife. It had been a busy day and Bianca hadn't seen Gabrielle or Miranda since breakfast.
Reese shook her head. "Not unless either of them came home while we were at the clinic. But it's the weekend; perhaps they went to a party or something."
"Knowing Miranda, she's probably with that boy I was telling you about... AJ," spoke Bianca. "And who knows about Gabrielle.'
Reese laughed. "I do believe our girls have a life and it's without us," she said.
"Ohhh well, they grew up. You know... it was bound to happen sometime. We have two great girls though; we are so lucky," Bianca commented. She took a sip of her drink and enjoyed the rest of her meal with Reese.
After dinner, Bianca began clearing away the dishes and cleaning up the kitchen. "Do you ever miss Paris?" she asked Reese.
"Well, I loved Paris, but to me it doesn't matter where I am - as long as I am with you and the girls."
"You're right, as long as we are together, it doesn't matter if we are here or in Paris," said Bianca. "It's been a long day. Let's head up to bed."
But before Bianca and Reese could head upstairs to their bed, Miranda walked into the kitchen, accompanied by AJ. "Mom, I need to talk to you," Miranda said. "It's important.":
"What's this about?" Bianca asked. She felt so uneasy. She didn't like the look on Miranda's face.
"Well, first of all, I am supposed to tell you that Gabrielle is spending the night with Lauren and secondly, I have an important question to ask you," Miranda revealed.
"Is this AJ?" Reese asked as she smiled at the young man who stood at Miranda's side.
"Yes, this is AJ Chandler, my new best friend," said Miranda. "AJ, this is Reese, my other mom."
"Hello, Reese," AJ said.
"Nice to meet you, young man," Reese responded.
After the introductions, Miranda looked Bianca in the eye as she asked, "So, Mom, tell me... how was I conceived?"
Reese and Bianca looked at each other in shock. They had known that one day this particular question was sure to come, but they were in no way prepared to discuss something so painful and haunting with their precious daughter.
"Miranda ~ honey, you better sit down," Reese said gently.
