Hey guys, welcome back! I know there has been a delay in getting these chapters to you; but as you can tell by the amount of chapters that I have posted I have worked hard on trying to move my stories on. If you are reading this then I have finished this story; and I can't wait to see what you think. Much love, RSD xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo.
Before I knew it six weeks had passed since me and Ben first talked about me being a surrogate for Evie and Doug; and in this time me and Ben had had a number of conversations about this.
We both wanted to help Evie and Doug; but we both wanted to make sure that all parties were safe in this situation. So with this in mind Ben had suggested that if Evie and Doug were on board with this then we should create a contract. I did agree with this; however it made me feel a little bit weird about it. Ben assured me that if anything was to happen like us having a disagreement with Evie and Doug then the contract would make sure that we were all protected - which made me feel better about it.
"Mal" I heard Ben call out after I had just put Edward and Isabelle to bed.
"In here!" I called as I sat down on the couch that was in our living area in our private rooms.
"I have something that you need to look at" I heard him say.
"Oh!" I answered and I watched as he entered the room. "What?" I questioned as he walked towards me.
"I have drafted a contract of the Surrogacy" he advised as he sat down next to me on my right hand side. "I just need you to read over it" he added. "And tell me what needs changing" he continued. "Then we will put it to Evie and Doug" he smiled as he handed me it.
"Yes" I nodded. "You know even after all of this they might not even want to" I sighed. If Evie and Doug didn't want to go along with this then that was ok; but me and Ben just wanted to give them an option.
"I know" he answered. "But at least we are prepared" he offered.
"Yes" I said.
"Let me know what you think" he smiled as he wrapped his left arm around my shoulders.
"Ok lover" I replied before I pressed a brief kiss against his lips. "You know I love you Mr Adams" I added as I pulled away.
"I love you too Mrs Adams" he replied as we cuddled together as I started to read the contact - hoping that we weren't about to upset Evie or Doug with this.
After I had finished reading the contact it started to feel more real that this actually might become a thing; I just hoped that Evie and Doug wouldn't think that we were taking over. Me and Ben didn't think that we were; we just wanted to help our family.
I also hoped that they wouldn't think what me and Ben wanted to put in place was also too much; there were two things that I wanted and they were already added to the contract. I didn't want them watching their baby being born. This was nothing about stealing this precious moment from them; it was a case of I didn't want to make things awkward and I knew that I would be embarrassed with them looking down there. The second thing that I wanted was that as soon as the baby is born I wanted them taken straight to Evie. This is because this is how the baby would bond with Evie; and I didn't want to take that from her.
"What do you think?" I heard Ben say after I finished reading the contract.
"I think that everything is covered" I nodded as I looked up at him. "However-" I began. "Evie and Doug might have their own things that they want to add" I advised.
"Of course" he smiled at me as he took it from me and threw it down onto the coffee table in front of us. "When do you want to mention this to them?" he questioned.
"Whenever you are ready" I offered and I cuddled back into his chest. "Just let me know" I added as I smiled up at him.
"I am ready now" he answered.
"Me too Benny" I grinned. "Did I ever mention that I am in love with you?" I continued lovingly.
"You may have mentioned it" he said as he gazed into my eyes as he cupped the left hand side of my face with his right hand. "Did I ever mention that I love you too?" he questioned as he brushed his nose against mine.
"You may have mentioned it" I muttered and we both chuckled at each other. "Should I invite them for dinner tomorrow?" I asked.
"Yes" he nodded and I eagerly pulled my phone out. "I'll do it now to make sure that they don't have any plans" I explained.
"Ok" he answered as he cuddled into me as I rang Evie, very keen to put our plan into action.
"Hi M" I heard her say as she answered the phone.
"Hi E" I replied.
"And what do I owe this phone call?" she teased.
"Do you and Doug have plans tomorrow night?" I questioned.
"No" she said. "Not yet, why?" she asked eagerly.
"Me and Ben wanted to know if you wanted to double date" I advised as Ben kissed my neck, which started to send shivers up and down my spine. "We haven't done it in such a long time" I advised.
"Hang on" she advised. "Mal wants to know if we want to double date with them tomorrow" I heard her say to Doug.
"Sounds good" I heard him say.
"I think that is a yes!" she exclaimed down the phone to me. "Eeek!" she shrieked. "Where are we going?" she quickly asked.
"I thought that I would make us something" I advised. "Laid back and casual" I continued as Ben licked my neck which nearly made me jump.
"Sounds perfect" she replied as Ben chuckled against my neck.
"Anyway I best go E; "I have to put the kids to bed" I advised. "Edward's twisting and won't settle for anyone but me" I lied and Ben pulled away and threw me a confused look.
"Lucky you" Evie replied.
"I would agree with you" I replied. "However sometimes it's not so good" I laughed and I heard her laugh at me. "Bye E" I said happily.
"Bye M" she answered and I hung up and put my phone back into my pocket.
"Edward isn't twisting" Ben noted in confusion.
"I know that" I replied as I cuddled back into him. "But I didn't want Evie to start asking questions" I added. "I didn't think that what we want to talk about is something that we should do over the phone" I stated. "And you know how she can be like; I might give something away and then-" I began as Ben nodded at this. "She'll start asking questions" I whined.
"I get it" he said. "So-" he began and I noticed that a playful look entered his eyes.
"Yes?" I laughed back.
"The kids are in bed" he reminded me. "And nothing has been decided yet" he grinned.
"No" I replied mock seriously.
"So" he repeated as he ran his mouth against my cheek before he pressed a kiss against it. "I think we should make best use of this time" he flirted.
"And how do you propose we do that Mr Adams?" I flirted back.
"I think you know Mrs Adams" he said knowingly.
"Hmmm" I hummed. "Well you know what" I flirted again.
"What?" he asked as he pulled his face away from mine.
"You'll have to catch me first" I teased and I quickly untangled myself from him and stood up. I then winked at him before I quickly towards our bedroom door.
"Oh you" I heard him say causing me to giggle as I left the room; I quickly jumped onto our bed and when Ben entered the room he growled at me. I giggled at him as he made his way towards me, my beautiful, sexy and playful Beast.
