Friday

I’ve heard that the best way to get over one et under another With that said, I doubt this is what the speaker had in htly It was pretty stupid of me to allow the terribly exposed, despite the fact thatabout having s up in stirrups and the top of a wohs that makes this all aard

It should be beautiful, and really, it is It’s just…odd

I have Cody on ht They lean toward one another to kiss over my head, and Garrett uses his free hand to wipe a tear from Cody’s cheek

The doctor looks up fro okay up there?” she asks

I squeeze my eyes shut “Fine,” I say

Garrett leans down and kissesthis,” he whispers vehemently, and emotion swells within me

“Thanks for letting me do this,” I say back I tip my face up, and he presses a soft kiss to my lips There’s no passion in this kiss whatsoever There’s only eratitude and a type of affection like I’ve never known

Cody squeezes uys ether for about twelve years, and after three failed adoptions, they wantedto have a kid They didn’t even ask ate I’, I’m in love with the type of love they have for one another, and I wanted to give them their own baby

We used a donor egg and ais so I could stay as far removed from the situation as possible The mishmash is so they won’t knoho the father is They’ll both be fathers All I know is that I don’t want to be a uy cook in ladly hand him over to these wonderful men, and they will be able to raise their own child

I wince as the doctor cranks the speculuina She lifts my feet from the stirrups and rolls her chair back “Friday,” she says That’s my name Friday Like the day of the week It’s not the name on my birth certificate, but it fits me better than that old relic of my former life ever did “In about ten days, I want you to come in for a blood test”

Cody rubs his hands together He’s so excited that I get all teary again That could be the horg donor, but either way, I’m much more emotional than on a nor have a baby!” Cody squeals

A grin tugs at my lips as Garrett helps irly bits, instead of having my hoo-ha up in the air for everyone to see

“I can go to work today, right?” I ask
