Chapter one: Who knows?
In this analogy
"Cowbirds are birds belonging to the genus Molothrus in the family Icteridae. They are of New World origin.
They are brood parasites, laying their eggs in the nests of other species.
The genus was introduced by the English naturalist William John Swainson in 1832 with the brown-headed cowbird as the type species.
The genus name combines the Ancient Greek mōlos meaning "struggle" or "battle" with thrōskō meaning "to sire" or "to impregnate". without further ado enjoy,
Alex is reclining on her kitchen table with a bottle of beer on her left hand, taking look on the outside view, thinking of how life has been a bitch to her.
She can't quite figure out what's that she did wrong or maybe it is what her ancestors did wrong to the universe ,and now the universe was making her paying for it, If you'd take look to her childhood life history,
You'd create a good story and make a movie out of it and probably earn more dollars from selling it, it was full of dramas and chaos with lots of secrets and lies,
Happiness was like a foreign language that she could never study and understand in her own language!.. It was like a strange and a mythical animal that she'd never seen or heard of. never existed in her world,
She can never pinpoint why her parent gave her away for adoption in the first place, was it out of love? but why her specifically?.., if they were four kids, why was she the one to be adopted? or maybe she was being selfish asshole as usual, who knows?,
It really came to hit her hard after learning that one of their rich family friend were her actual biological parents, she didn't take it slightly,
if it wasn't for Nicky she'd been probably dead in a ditch somewhere,
If she was being honest she wanted to know what it feels like to be raised by her actual biological parents, she remembered at the age of thirteen when she visited their family friend that time when she went shopping with one of the kids from that family who was technically her biological sister,
How a lot of people used to question if they were twins or perhaps sisters and how she used to tell them they were just family friends,
It really never occurred to her how that woman from that family really loved and cared for her in a weird way, or maybe she was the one who really loved that Diane woman in unimaginable ways, she felts weird connect towards that woman and then that family moved to UK when she was fifteen,
Flash back
Two years later after her high school final exams, Alex was so excited to visited UK, she had wanted to visit that piece of land in the universe for so long,
And now that she was free of school dramas, waiting for her college admission, she thought she'd use this ample time to pay their family friend a visit, her first instinct was to call Diane and talk about it, before she could even discuss it with her parents,
Packing her things, selling some and giving some to the remaining continuing students, Alex felt relieved, she was never good with morning Prep, or morning jogging she hated it so much, after completing her clearance, she went direct home, reaching in her bedroom and throwing her backpack on the bed, she sat on her bed and draw her phone searching for Diane's name,
Alex: Hey Diane sorry haven't call you guys for a long time was busy with my final exams, how are you doing anyway?
Diane: i.. um...i am so sorry Alex Diane passed away two months ago, a male voice answered
Alex: am so sorry, i…just…I didn't know!... and then she hangs up, end of flash back
She couldn't bring herself to cry, or mourn, she was so hurt that her parent didn't even bother to tell her that Diane was dead'
What kind of a family friendship was that anyway?, and if that was not worse enough she came to find latter after four years that Diane was her actual biological mother something both of the two families never told her, she had to find it out herself, it really broke and build her at the same time,
She is brought back by the sudden movement of her girlfriend,
"Hey babe you woke up early today I thought you were going to store or something?" Amelia murmured while kissing and hugging her girlfriend,
"Is something wrong? because you only drink when you are stressed! out"
"Nah, don't worry about it babe am fine",
"Okay! so I have an appointment with our surrogate lawyer, we are meeting to set and discuss terms and condition of surrogacy,
Next Tuesday we will be having our first meeting with that surrogate girl so please babe hope you will be there,Amelia interjected, while picking her purse,
"I don't like the idea babe, we can still adopt" Alex murmured while sipping her beer, besides it is very expensive, I can't fucking stand the idea "she continue to protest,
"Alex please let's try this it's our only chance, please, do you think this is easy for me?", I mean how can I trust a stranger to carry and raise my baby for Nine fucking months huh?" Amelia pouted
"Then stop it already , there are plenty of kids out there who need parents" Alex fueled,
'So you don't want the kid of your own?
"That's no what I mean"
"Then what do you fucking mean Alex?
" Babe, do you really want a strange a woman who you barely know to carry my eggs around?", I mean who in their fucking right mind can even agree to that?...
'Alex is there something else you wanna talk about, or is it because your eggs are so special that no surrogate can carry them around? or is it because I can't bare a kid, or its me who you don't want to have the kids with?" Amelia mumbled her voice is nothing but with heavy sadness
"Babe where is that coming from?
'You tell me Alex, because I don't understand what's so fucking hard for us to use the surrogate"
Alex remained quite,
"You know what Alex fuck you!", am doing it with or without you, murmured Amelia pacing towards the door and shutting it with un necessary force,
"Hey Pipes" how did it go? have you met the couple yet?"
"No Poly was just called in for check-ups before we could arrange for the meeting two weeks ago, muttered the blonde while kicking off her shoes, pacing towards the near couch and taking a seat.
"Oh! Mumbled Polly her eyes filled with nothing but fears and worries.
"Oh? Polly really oh?"
"Look Pipes I know this is really important to you ,but I think you are making a huge mistake on this one", please hear me out Polly pleaded her friend,,
"I'm not gonna discuss this again with you Poly, "I mean do you think I'd do it, if I'd any other choice",
"That's not true and you know it Pipes"
'What does that suppose to mean Polly? "
"You could ask your aunt Mey to help you secure the loan, and then find a proper job to repay it back? "
"Oh fuck off Polly, Piper is practically sobbing, the words, but her face is contorted with fury, you don't get to act like you know her better than me.
"Thus not what i mean Pipes"
"Then what do you mean?"
"What i mean is that we still have time we can still figure something out"
"I'm not taking any chances Poly so please drop it okay?!.
"Okay! Okay!. Pipes" muttered Polly raising her hands up in a defeat, how is Carl anyway? suddenly a crooked, helpless sound lurches from Piper's throat.
"He is getting worse every day" Polly. this is why I must do this, i.., um..i have to do this, i can't let him down.
"Hey..look at me he'll be fine.. Polly mumbles while wiping tears dripping out from piper's eyes, and rubbing her back in a soothing manner.
"We don't know that, you can't be so sure!
"I know... I know, am sure Carl is a tough kid, he will get through this.
disentangling herself from a hug, piper murmured
I have to go Polly, Red will kill me, I can't afford to be late again.
"Come on Piper she will understand she knows Cal need close attention",
"Yes Polly that's why she gave me two weeks in the first place, without deducting it from my wage, I can't take that for granted,
"So will see you later then" Polly said hugging her friend,
