The Surrogate
He walked into the bedroom and saw her looking into the mirror. Going over he put his arms around her waist from behind. "Are you ready to meet my parents?"
She placed her hands over the top of his that was resting on her stomach. "I'm so nervous. What if they don't like me? The way we got together with you still married they might think I'm some sort of tramp and a golddigger."
"Trust me, they are not going to think that and I know they will fall in love with you." He turned her around to face him. "You have nothing to be nervous about. Come on, they are waiting for us downstairs."
Letting out a deep breath she held his hand as they walked down the stairs. When they reached the living room she saw a tall and husky man with silver-gray hair. The woman was slender, her hair was jet black. She had the same eyes as Cole, they held warmth.
Gloria stood up and walked over to them. "Christy, it is so good to finally meet you. My son has told me all about you."
"Mrs. Brooks, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Gloria took a hold of Christy's hands. "I must insist that you call me Mom, but if you're not comfortable with that then please call me Gloria. I want you to meet my husband Steven."
Steven walked over and smiled at her. "Cole was not exaggerating when he told us how beautiful you are."
Christy blushed. "I'm so happy to meet you. I'm also so grateful to you for helping Cole."
Cole put his arm around her shoulder. "Christy is supposed to be resting so why don't we all sit down."
They all sat down and started talking, and getting to know one another. The more they talked to Christy the more they were convinced that she was exactly what Cole said she was.
"Cole, why don't you and Steven go into the kitchen and check on supper while we women have a girls talk."
"Mom, she needs to relax so please don't bombard her with a lot of questions."
"Just go and take care of supper."
When the men were gone she turned to Christy. "I just wanted to have some alone time with you to tell you that I think you are perfect for my son. I've watched the two of you for almost an hour now and I can see the love between you two."
"Gloria, I want you to know that when I moved in here to be a surrogate I had not come here with the intentions to seduce your son and take him away from Joyce."
"Goodness child, why would you even say such a thing?"
"It's what Joyce and her lawyer tried to convince the judge of. I love your son very much, his position and his money has nothing to do with the way I feel about him."
"I know that and I also know that you are not the type of girl to try and break up a marriage. Cole told me that you even suggested he get a prenup made up when you two marry. In the last five years I have never seen or heard him this happy as he is with you."
"I will make him happy, I promise."
"Is everything okay?" Gloria asked when she saw Christy touched her stomach and gasped.
"Everything is fantastic, but your grandson is kicking up a storm." She looked at Gloria and saw a smile on her face. "Would you like to feel your grandson moving?"

"Oh I would love to, are you sure you don't mind?"
"Of course I don't, it's okay, go ahead."
"Oh wow, he is very active. This brings back a lot of memories when I was carrying Cole. I so loved being pregnant with him and I wish that I could have had more children. But sadly it wasn't meant to be. May I be so bold as to ask if you would like to have more children in the future?"
"Cole and I haven't really discussed it in any great detail but I would love to have more. Right now we are just concentrating on this little guy here."
"Have you two decided on a name yet?"
"Not yet, I can't seem to agree on a name. I want to thank you again for helping Cole."
"He's my son and I would do anything to help him and you. In a few days when you're feeling better I want to take you shopping for some baby things and before you protest I won't take no for an answer."
"Cole warned me how stubborn you could be and now I know where he gets it from."
Cole entered the living room an hour later. "God I'm so happy to see my two favorite women getting along."
Gloria smiled at him. "Now why wouldn't we get along? We both have something in common, we both love you."
He went over and gave his mother a hug and then put his arm around Christy. "You really should be in bed getting some rest." He was still worried about her blood pressure and the doctor did say she needed more bed rest.
"I know you've put me on bed rest but couldn't I please just have dinner with all of you? I feel so much better and I'm not stressed at all."
There was no way he could refuse her, after all she did look a lot better and had color in her cheeks. "I guess it'll be all right."
After enjoying a lovely meal and having a great conversation Christy got up and started clearing the dishes away but Cole stopped her.
"You are not cleaning up."
"But I feel fine."
He took the dishes from her hand. "I told you that you could stay and have dinner with us and then after it was over you were to go straight upstairs and into bed."
"But I'm enjoying myself with your parents and I don't want to go to bed."
"The doctor said you needed a few days in bed. I already went against his orders by letting you stay up so I don't want any more arguments from you."
She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Fine, I'm going." She then looked over at Gloria and Steven. "The boss has given me orders so I guess I have to obey him or else he'll have a fit. I just want to say again that it's been a pleasure meeting you and I really hope that you will stay as long as you want."
After saying good night and giving them both a hug she walked away without looking back at Cole.
Steven snickered out loud. "I think someone's a little mad at you. Why don't you go after her and Gloria and I will do the washing up?"
"It's better if I give her a little bit of time to cool off first."
After cleaning up he stayed downstairs and visited with his parents for a while. It had been way too long since they've been together and had a good talk. Then when Gloria and Steven said they were going to bed he knew it was time for him to go upstairs and find out just how much trouble he was in.

She was still awake and laying in bed when she heard him enter. "I was beginning to wonder if you were ever going to come up."
He stood there looking at her as he started undoing the buttons on his shirt. "Are you still mad at me?"
"What makes you think I was mad at you?"
"You didn't acknowledge me when you left the kitchen to come up here so I could tell you were angry."
"I didn't like the way you were ordering me around in front of your parents."
"I wasn't ordering you sweetheart, but you heard what the doctor said. What can I do to make you not be angry with me any longer?"
A smile appeared on her lips. "Strip."
"What?"
"If you don't want me to be mad at you then strip for me."
"You want me to take all my clothes off in front of you?"
"I don't just want you to take your clothes off, I want you to dance while you take your clothes off."
"But there's no music playing."
She reached over and turned on the radio. "Now dance for me and take off your clothes slowly. Show me what you got and how good you are at using it."
"If I do will you stop being mad at me?"
"Now that depends on how good you are." She covered her mouth to stifle the laughter that was coming out when he started swaying his hips to the beat of the music as he slowly slid his shirt down past his shoulders and letting it drop to the floor.
She couldn't help getting turned on when she saw the way he was gyrating to the rock music that was playing on the radio. Then she felt her panties getting wet when he slowly pulled the zipper on his pants down, there was just something sexy about it.
"That's it, shake that thing," she said when he removed his pants and brief. Then she let out a squeal when he got on the bed and climbed up her until he reached her mouth and kissed her.
"Are you still mad at me?" he asked when he broke the kiss.
"No, I'm not mad at you anymore. I must say you have some really good moves for a doctor. Now if you really want to make me happy then make love to me."
He smiled down at her. "You're supposed to be resting."
"You said yourself that I needed to reduce my stress, so what better way to relieve ones stress than to make love?"
"The lady has a point." He covered her mouth with his, being careful not to put all of his weight on her as he made love to her. Making love to her was the most amazing feeling in the world. He also knew how much better it was going to be after the baby was born and he could let out of real animal inside him.
Later she lay in his arms, both satisfied.
"I almost forgot to tell you that Gina called to ask how you were doing and said that she would call you tomorrow. They would have come over but Abe had surgery to perform and she was busy with a client."
"I understand and I did get the flowers that she brought to the hospital. I just wish that I was awake when she came."
"It's okay, we will get together soon."
The next couple of days she did what she was told and stayed in bed. Gina had called and they talked on the phone. Gloria made a point of bringing her dinner up to her and staying so that they could talk. The bedroom was filling up with flowers from Gina and Abe, also Cole brought her roses everyday.
On the third day she decided it was time for her to get up and start living. So without asking Cole she got out of bed, got dressed and went downstairs to join the others for breakfast. She was very pleased that he didn't give her a hard time.
Cole finished his breakfast and was getting ready to go to work but wanted to make an announcement to the others.
"Before I came into the kitchen I received a phone call. It was from my lawyer who wanted to let me know that the papers have all been signed and I am now officially a single man."
"That's wonderful son, you are finally free from that woman." Gloria couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.
"Yes I am," he said and smiled at Christy. "So I want to take us all out for a celebration dinner. Abe and Gina are going to join us."
"If I know you, and I do you are going to take us somewhere fancy and I don't have anything that fits me." Christy said, looking upset.
Gloria reached over and touched her hand. "We will go shopping this afternoon and find you something really nice to wear."
Christy walked Cole to the front door when he was leaving for work. "I'm so glad that your divorce is final."
He put his arm around her waist and pulled her close. "So am I, and now we can move forward and start a new chapter in our lives. I love you so much."
"I love you too, have a good day at work and I'll see you tonight."
"When you go shopping I don't want you to overdo it. If you start feeling tired tell my mother and she will bring you home."
"Yes doctor."
That morning Steven drove the women to a dress shop where Gloria helped Christy pick out a lovely dress to wear for the celebration dinner. They then went to a baby shop and picked out some furniture that was still needed and a whole bunch of baby clothes that Gloria insisted on paying for all of it.
But Christy refused to let her pay for the dress. She still had the money that Cole had given her. He wouldn't take it back when she offered it. It was one of the things they fought about and in the end, she gave up. He had explained that it was the deal they made before they had fallen in love and he felt that she deserved it, especially after the way Joyce had treated her.
When they returned home later that afternoon she decided she better go lay down and rest before they went out to dinner. She knew if she didn't rest Cole would be upset and might even cancel the dinner party. That was the last thing she wanted because she was looking forward to a night out with his parents and her friends. Also, his divorce was worth going out to celebrate.
