“Darling, we’ll make it fun,” Landon promises, taking my hand and kissing my palm. “We don’t need doctors or test tubes to make a baby. Just two willing parties.”
He winks. “I’m willing.”
I’m not sure if he’s making fun of me, but I’m tempted to ask him to do it in the cup so I can have a baby. It’d save me twenty thousand dollars, and I’d know where the kid has come from.
“I’m here to help with whatever you need, but I think it’s important for you two to relax. Remember the love that you have for each other. It’s not just about conceiving but loving each other.”
“We’ll try your techniques,” Landon says as he continues to look at the booklet that she gave us. “Maybe we’ll send you a Christmas card with the picture of Junior and Cassie.”
“That would be lovely,” she says satisfied, thinking that she just solved our problems.
Lady, you can’t even see the tip of the iceberg.
“Give yourself the next four cycles, if you haven’t conceived by then, I recommend you start by visiting your obstetrician—we’re your last resource.”
Landon sighs and fans the booklets that she gave him. “My boys will know how to get the job done, Doctor, but thank you for the information. We can start practicing now.”
“Thank you, Doctor,” I say, lost in thought, wondering how exactly I’m going to ask him to do it in a cup so I can knock myself up.
ChapterThirteen
Landon
We leavethe doctor’s office in silence. I hope I didn’t piss her off more than she already was.
“Here are my forms,” Lee mumbles at the receptionist.
“How much do we owe you?” I ask, pulling out my wallet.
“The first consultation is free,” the receptionist explains. “Would you like to schedule another appointment?”
“Not at the moment,” Lee says, lost in thought.
She’s either upset because her little game of “let’s make Landon squirm in his seat” didn’t work, or she didn’t like that the doctor didn’t give her the information that she wanted.
We step into the elevator, and as the doors close, I say, “Go out on a date with me.”
While she simultaneously asks, “Would you mind being my sperm donor?”
“I’d do anything for you, Lee. Giving you a baby would be an honor, but why don’t we start with a date?”
“Why would you want to go out on a date with me?” She gives me a defiant glare.
“Because I find you attractive, I care about you, and I think we’d have a good time,” I say, hoping that I’m saying the right words because one slip and I’ll be out of her life.
She studies me, looking at me from top to bottom and says, “Why now?”
“What do you mean why now?” I stare at her in confusion.
“We’ve known each other for a long time,” she explains. “Years. Why would you want to change the dynamic now?”
“Why not?”
“What’s the goal?”
“I want to change our relationship,” I confess. “You’re my best friend, but I don’t want to bejustyour friend.”
Lee shakes her head. “You want me to believe that you want more.”
