"Babe wakeup I told you we have to go meet the doctor with that (surrogate) girl, Amelia pouted tapping Alex's shoulder!
"Do we have to be up this early babe?" Alex complained
"yeah Ally, we have two appointments remember? we have to meet our lawyer first before we could meet the doctor"
"why are we meeting the lawyers again I thought you said everything was handled?"
"Mr. Zed said it is best for the both of us to meet just so he can make sure everything is clear and understood by both parties ,so why don't you go take a shower, I'm making our bed and thereafter will go make us a breakfast huh?" Amelia murmured caressing Alex's arms
"Babe did you remember buying me a new toothbrush? Alex mumbled disappearing into the bathroom.
"yes, babe just check behind the dressing mirror"
Babe I think you need to get this call it's your mum,
"Geez Amelia I'm taking a shower; you couldn't tell her I will call her back?
"Honey, I tried telling her that but she insisted what was I supposed to do?"
"Hey mum, wow slow down mum, what?, when did this happened?, and you guys thought leaving without telling was a good idea?
okay I'm on my way coming",
" Babe is everything okay?" Amelia asked very worried
Piper and Polly were sitting in Zed& Associate small private room, waiting for the couple to arrive so that they can finalize the contract, she was so nervous meeting the couple for the first time, what if they didn't like her?, or what if she didn't like them, no it's not my job to like them my job is to carry their baby she wondered to herself, it is then when the door slams open and a lady rushed in
"I'm so sorry for the delay Mr. Zed, I'd a family emergency" she says as she takes her bag down
And sits beside Piper, turning her head to face Piper she said,
"You must be Elizabeth Chapman, she said reaching her hands to piper"
"Yes, pleasure to finally meeting you"
"Amelia Adamson" she supplied, and you? She asked gesturing at Polly,
"Polly Harper, Piper's friend"
"Oh, Nice meeting you Polly" Amelia said shaking Polly's hands,
"Nice to meet you too" Polly said looking Amelia in the eyes she loved her already, the girl had this brown, like eyes, she had jet black hair, slim figure, she was tall and beautiful, if she wasn't one of the celebrity models then I don't know? she wondered to herself
'Okay Now that we're here let's proceeds. Mr. Zeb broke the silent before he continued
"Do I need to explain what this arrangement is about Miss Chapman?" Mr. Zed asked his gaze glued on Piper, Piper just shook her head as a indication of no.
'Very well, just so to summarize, prior to signing, you've willingly submitted to a health test, you'll be entitled to monthly allowance of 30 thousand dollars which is exclusive of final payment of three million dollars, this three million will be paid in installments as follow one million dollars in the first month of pregnancy
Five hundred dollar on the next three month of pregnancy and the rest after delivery
Hearing this Polly almost chocked on her own saliva... that sound like a lot of money just for the surrogacy, God if it was like this then every woman should become a surrogate or something, she keeps wondering" are they not drug dealer or something they're loaded. she took a note in her head to ask piper later.
"You'll also be placed under the residence and care of Vause's, just to be clear you will be living with the couple throughout the period of your pregnancy"
"Wait what? Piper asked in disbelief turning her eyes to Amelia, no one told me about that,this is ridiculous, I'm not comfortable staying with you guys, and even if I was comfortable which I'm not, I have a very sick brother who needs a very close attention, and I'm the only family who can take care of him"
"Look honey, I just want the best for the baby, my baby , about your brother we can make some arrangement so that you can move in with him, and I'm sure we can take a very good care of him trust me, Amelia said squeezing Piper's hands in reassurance manner,
'You're also entitled to a proper dieting, any action that may detriment or endanger the supposed baby's health is prohibited, in a simple words no smoking, drinking alcohol or drugs etc... throughout the pregnancy, Mr. Zed continued,
Miss chapman you are free to walk away, if you are no longer comfortable with the contract
But immediately after insemination and the eggs have been fertilized, that right will be terminated,
Vause's family are entitled to sue for any damage caused by the breach of contract, such attempt to run away with the baby, abortion, lodging any motherly claim to the supposed child, and or any negligence that may lead to miscarriage the pregnancy" is that clear Miss chapman?
"Yes, I understand"
"Mr Zed shift and leaned on his seat before he continued,
After delivery of the supposed child, you are entitled to the full payment and therefore you are to transfer all the rights of the child to Vauses family and never to make any form of contract with the child, is there any question you would want to ask Miss chapman?
" No , she replied lowering her gaze on the ground
" Miss Adamson, anything you wanna add? Mr Zed asked...….
"Yes Mr Zed, I didn't see the part where she agreed to feed the baby with the milk at least three to four months after birth, either by directly feeding
or pumping into the bottles, I thought we agreed you're going to add that in the contract Amelia said her eyes glued on Mr Zed'
"What? Piper asked in disbelief feeding the baby for four months?" no, no Ma'am I don't think I can do that, beside is not written in the contract.
"Miss Adamson can we talk just the two of us", Mr Zed said gesturing for Amelia to follow him on his office.
June 6th (one day before Piper's birthday)
it's been one month and five days since the insemination procedure and three days since Alex had returned from London
Alex was resting on her bedroom cuddling Amelia when Nicky called her..
" Hey Vause how are you?"
"I'm cool Nicky"
"Okay!.. so what are your plans for tomorrow?"
"Nothing , beside staying home clearing my mind" Alex answered nonchalantly
" Can you be my plus one then?" Nicky asked amused
" urgh Nicky, I'm sorry I can't,i just need time for myself",
" Vause c'mon man it's important to me, please?"
" Nicky, please what's it? are you planning to propose to Lorna or something?
" Nah, I have been invited to this birthday party and you are the best company I could think of"
"wow… so if Lorna is not the best company then what's that you do between her legs huh? Alex mocked
" Vause c'mon don't do this to me, I wouldn't have asked"
" Okay fine", but know that you will pay for it.
" Oh? okay?! Thanks anyway, I will text you the address, and please bring with you some birthday gift" Nicky said chuckling,
" WTF Nicky, really?, first you begged me to be your plus one, and now you're asking for gifts , besides what kinds of gift am I supposed to bring? , I don't even know whose birthday it's?
" Come on, Vause it's the rule man!, just pretend it's Amelia's or my birthday and bring the gift you would have brought if it were mine or Amelia's birthday"
" Ugh okay, bye Nicky i hate you"
"And I hate you more", Nicky just laughed before hanging up her phone...
" Oh? where we're again?" Alex asked her girlfriend
"Oh, yeah about the surrogate moving in with his brother?", I asked you if it was okay to let her brother moved in with her?
"What?, why? her brother is moving in with her? babe, you think that's a good idea?"
"I know, but she wasn't ready to move here without her brother, he's the only family she have"
" Hmmhhn Okay?!"
"Actually she was supposed to move here one month ago, but things didn't turn the way we wanted. Your dad's and all that, so she is moving here on Sunday"
" Look I know its not a good time bringing this up but if you are not ..."
"No, its fine please let her move in, I want to get to know her, I mean she's carrying our baby after all"
"Okay" Amelia said looking Alex in the eyes trying find any sign of discomfort in her face
June 7th Piper's Birthday Party
"Hey birthday girl, how are you? Nicky said hugging Piper,
"I'm great actually and thanks for coming"
"Happy birthday blondie"
"Thanks Nicky, and please suit yourself"
"Oh I will, Nicky said chuckling and walking towards the back tables,
Nicky was sitting and drinking alone in a party surrounded by strangers in which the only person she knew was Piper, after 50 minutes of waiting Alex to show up unsuccessfully she decided to text her tall friend
Nicky: "Vause where the fuck are you? the party is almost over" she shouted frastruatedly
Alex: "Hey I got lost am outside, just come and pick me already"
Nicky: "Okay just tell me the color of dress you're wearing and where you're standing, oh I 've already seen you just stand where you are, I'm coming" she mumbled
Alex: Okay Please hurry"
"Have you seen Larry he's acting weird do you think he knows? Piper asked her best friend
"I don't know Piper, you guys need to talk, you cant hide it from him that long Pipes, it might destroy you guys" Polly said with a very heavy worried sad voice
"God, Polly I know, I will tell him just after Carl's surgery",
Piper was talking to Polly when she saw Alex being fetched by Nicky, fuck!, she cursed silently
She didn't plan on meeting with Alex, at least not like this, she was so embarrassed, first she didn't
Get a chance to thank her, second, she didn't invite her on her birthday party, how was she going to face her, wow that woman might be thinking like I'm a thankless wretch she wondered to herself.
Alex and Nicky continued chatting and drinking before Alex asked Nicky,
"Serious Nicky are you gonna tell me whose birthday is this?"
"Hey it's blondie's birthday, Red's girl?" Nicky Finishes sipping her drinking
"What? the fuck Nicky, you knew it was her birthday, and you didn't care telling me this earlier? Alex fueled with anger,
"Hey Vause relax man, is not like she's getting married or something? it's just a birthday party",
Before Alex could responds to Nicky's statement,
"Okay, attention ladies and gentlemen, First I would really like to thank all of you for coming, sharing and celebrating this special day with someone that has been nothing but dear to me I seriously can not thank you all enough and with that being said I would really like to call this special person on her special Day
to step forward because I have something that I want to say to her in front of everyone gathered here in this very moment, oh my bad I'm Larry bloom
For those who doesn't know me, birthday girl's boyfriend, he finishes quoting the last sentence in the air
Alex felt sick immediately, she felt like she was going to throw up any moment.
"Fucking Larry, why is he calling me Infront of everyone anyway" she cursed silently while matching
Where Larry was standing, she didn't like attention in the crowd of people, Larry hugged and kissed her before he says
Pipes if God made couples then I know that you are my mate. I am so proud to have you because there is no one who can understand me and love me the way you do. I love you for all this. I want you to hold me tight and hug me and never let me go. You are the best person I have ever met. I love you so much
Before Piper could respond to Larry's words, Larry pulled out a ring box and got down on one knee then said,
"Piper Elizabeth Chapman will you marry me?" the hall room was filled with cheers and applauses,
"Piper didn't know how to react on Larry's request, mainly because she felt guilt, for what she's keeping from him, she was one month pregnant with someone else's baby, Alex on the other hand couldn't bear to hear Piper's response so instead she excused herself out before piper could responds
"Please Piper?" Larry asked her again, while everyone was anxiously waiting for her response, she glanced
Where her best friend Polly seated, seeking her help out of this but instead Polly just nodded her head as a sign for Piper to say yes, and then she says,
"Yes Larry, of course, I will marry you"
After Piper had accepts Larry's proposal, all hope that Alex had with blonde were gone, may be it was for the best she wondered,
Piper was looking for Polly when she spotted Alex dancing with a strange woman, the way that woman was dancing over and holding Alex, made her feel a burning sensation on her very chest, what was it? anger? Nope! Sadness? Kinda. Jealousy? totally yeah, and without knowing she was already pulling Alex away from that woman, Alex was taken aback by Piper's reaction
"Hey, you wanna dance?" Piper shyly asked
"Hey, sure anything for birthday girl", Alex mumbled with a sexy smirk on her face, this made piper to blush,
''Alex hold Piper's hands, they're dancing slowly at first, but then they started getting lost on each other's gaze, Alex Hips were now swaying dangerously against Piper, the way Alex was now holding her, it was like they're one body, Piper was melting on Alex's touch every second,
Piper keeps licking and biting her bottom lips she felt safe on the crooks of Alex's shoulders, God if Larry could have only seen the way Piper was looking and holding the other woman, you could've swear he could have had an heart attack that needed immediate surgery,
Nah, not at all, that just couldn't be the woman he'd just proposed to, not few hours ago. Piper wanted nothing than to kiss the woman she was holding, her gaze keeps falling on Alex's lips, so to avoid this barging thoughts, she buried her head deeply into Alex shoulders seeking for any comfort and affection she could find there.
No, this wasn't her at all, she'd never been so this desperate to want someone, not just want someone but to want a sexual relationship with a stranger who she barely knew no!... not like this, she wanted to fuck her, and she wanted Alex to fuck her, it usually takes her dark ages to fall in love with her date,
but this woman… this Alex woman she was now holding?. right now she wasn't only eye fucking her but mind fucking her too..no wait she didn't even know how to fuck a woman...did she?
Hahahah, what are you laughing at?,
Pipes you are such a whore! excuse me wait did you just call me a whore? ,her subconscious mind mocked her.
Hey it's okay, don't listen to her isn't this what you've always wanted, just look the way this gorgeous
Woman is holding you, look into her eyes, she wants you pipes and you want her, this is the first time a woman had shown an interest in you,
don't fuck this up, don't lose this golden opportunity,
"To hell with golden opportunity didn't you just accepted Larry's proposal not few hours ago?, so what if I did?
Geez you're a shameless whore look at you finger, see that golden ring, hey go for what you want you deserve better, God she was losing her mind.
"You want to get some air, Piper asked
"Yeah sure",
Then follow me, she said leading the way so that Alex could follow her
'I didn't know a place like this existed in the City, I think I need to explore and party more" Alex said trying to start a conversation.
"Trust me, you are not the only one" Piper said chuckling, before she proceeds, look Alex about the other day am so sorry, I didn't intend to burden you like that"
"C'mon it's okay, don't worry about it" Alex said caressing and circling her knuckles,
They studied each other's for a while, Piper's blue eyes taking Alex features in, she then licked her lips nervously,
"How is your brother anyway?" Alex decide to break the sexual tension that was building between them,
"Not so good" but at least he will soon go for a surgery, Piper answered,
"Oh, that's is great then, Alex said starring Piper deeply into the eyes,
"Piper couldn't take any more of that look so without thinking she leaned over and Kissed Alex hard,
'Alex hesitated before reciprocating the kiss, she wanted to resist but she couldn't, she felt like her heart was really going to jump out from her ribcage,
So she learned in and kissed Piper slowly, pulling her into a slow yet passionate kiss. God is this how kissing a woman feels like? Piper wondered to herself,
she was subconsciously touching Alex, feeling like Alex was smiling into the kiss, Pipers legs become weak,
she couldn't support herself any more so she wrapped her arms around Alex's neck,
Alex took the chance to deepen the kiss letting her in slowly while wrapping her arms on Piper's waist. they kissed for a while,
before the kiss could turned into something else Piper broke it up
"I'm so sorry Alex I shouldn't have done that"
"C'mon is no big deal, Alex said learning over for more kisses, but Piper backed away,
"Piper Please tell me you didn't feel that huh? Alex asked Piper walking towards her, you felt it, too did you?
"I'm pregnant" Piper blurted out almost unexpectedly,
"What? Alex asked in disbelief she didn't believe what Piper had just revealed,
"I'm pregnant" this time she whispered it in a very low audible voice
"Oh?!, is the only word that Alex could come up with, tears were now lingering on her eyes threatening to fall, she remains there standing dumbfounded for few seconds before she took a step towards Piper, she hugs her, and murmured congratulation and happy birthday" and left without looking back
"Look Alex I'm so so.." Piper couldn't finish her sentence as Alex was already gone,
Nicky met Alex in the hallway, "fuck Vause where the fuck have you been? I've been looking for you
All over this place!?"
"Please do not fucking invite me to parties like this ever again" Alex said in harshed tone brushed passing Nicky
Nicky was taken aback by Alex's attitude, before she could react, she saw Piper coming from the exact place where Alex had just come from, it didn't take her minutes to connects the missing dots,
"Have you seen Alex? Piper asked, her face is plastered with nothing than fears and worries
"Yeah! what happened with you guys? Nicky questioned studying Piper's face
"Nothing, sorry I gotta go" Piper mumbled before disappearing in the crowds of people trying to look for Alex.
Alex was so hungry, and hurt by Piper and mad at herself and Nicky, she just run outside and called a cab
"If Piper knew that she was pregnant with Larry's baby why did she kissed me in the first place? why did she initiated that kiss then? and me why did i kissed her back?" she debated to herself, for fucks sake what was wrong with her and why did she want her so badly?"
She wanted to punch Nicky in the face for inviting her on Piper's birthday party,
"Oh, Alex enough, with pretense,
"what?
"You're just acting and pretending to be mad, like you didn't know she'd a boyfriend, or like you haven't just witness her boyfriend proposing to her not few hours ago, but you still wanted her anyway, and what about when you're holding her hands, please tell me you didn't see that ring?
"You know what I'm not doing this" she tried to silence her subconscious mind
"What made you act so mad anyway? is it because she kissed you? Or is it because she is pregnant with someone's else baby? "
"I said just shut the fuck up, and leave me be" she shouted to her subconscious mind.
"Is everything okay Ma'am?" Alex's cab driver asked
"Yeah just drive please"
After searching for Alex unsuccessfully, Piper decided to call Polly,
"Hey Polly, where're you? I think I need to leave" Piper mumbled with heavy sadness in her voice
'WTF Piper, you can't just leave ! this is your fucking birthday party!?"
"I know Polly, I'm not feeling well please say goodbye and thank everyone for me" she then hangs up her phone before Polly could respond,
Piper you can't go around kissing people and then telling them you're sorry, her subconscious mind shouted, she felt so emotionally exhausted, why did I kiss her?
For heaven's sake Larry had just proposed to her not less that two hours ago, she didn't know what was happening to her was she being hormonal?
You are pregnant with someone else baby and you're keeping it from Larry,
You have just accepted his proposal and you've also just kissed another person not just another person you have kissed a woman? she debated subconsciously.
That Alex woman was making her feel things, things that that she didn't knew she was capable of feeling, and Larry!..., Larry has been nothing but a supportive and a dear boyfriend to her, they have been through fat and thin,
He was there for her when her parents died, she was scared of loosing him, the image of Larry Proposing to her,
and her kissing Alex haunted her,it made her feels sick and guilty , all she wanted was to crawl into bed and sleep it off.
June 8th One day after Piper's Birthday Party (Sunday)
Amelia was in the kitchen preparing their breakfast when Alex entered asking for pain killers
Morning babe, God you don't have any pain killers left? , Alex asked rubbing up her eyes
"No babe, what do you need them for?" Amelia said turning her head to look at her girlfriend
" Oh nothing just a small headache,
" You sure you don't wanna check it up it might be more than a headache"
'It's okay, babe"
" You sure you're okay Alex?" Amelia Mumbled her gaze glued on Alex
" Yeah, why?"
" Nah, I don't know may be I'm just overreacting , because yesterday night you're so moody and grumpy, after you'd came from that party
Did you and Nicky fought or something?"
"No!, why did she called you or something?" Alex asked curiously
"No!, she texted me asking if you're home", look Alex you don't have to go through all of your dad's staff alone, I want you to know that I'm here, if you want
to talk about it, please babe you gonna have to learn how to let me in be there for you, when you need me" Amelia pouted caressing her girlfriend cheeks
"I'm fine, but thanks, I think I'd too much to drink yesterday" she lied,
"You hungry?, because I think like am going to faint anytime, god who came up with the formula of 3 meals per day?" Amelia murmured
asking her girlfriend, before Alex could replied, someone knocked on their door,
"I thinks its her babe can you go answer it, I'm finishing this up then break fast will be ready"
" who? "Alex asked confused
"Babe our surrogate I told you she was moving in today remember?"
"Oh, yeah, but this Earlier in the morning babe?"
" Geez Alex, I invited her for breakfast don't you wanna get to know her she is our surrogate for heaven's sake now go answer the door already"
Amelia mumbled loosing her cool,
