Believing in Fate

Chapter 27

Max

"So Parrish what are you going to tell you little sister when you talk to her next?" He tilts his head to the side and just stairs at me.

"Why do you think I am going to tell my sister about this little talk?" He use air quotes as he says 'little talk'

"Because it is clear that you came over here just too talk to me and see what kind of guy I am and how on earth a guy like me am able to get two beautiful girls to fall head over heals." He huffs at my answer.

"I guess I'll tell her you think she's beautiful." His phone beeps causing him to turn away as he pulled out his phone and read what ever the text said. "Well I have to go, you and your little sister have a nice morning at the park." With that he got up and left, once he was out of wolf hearing range, from what Katelyn told me, I looked over at Sophia soundly asleep holding on to that old pooh bear.

"Well wasn't that a wired conversation wasn't it." I smile at her before pulling myself up off the bench and back to my morning walk. My cell phone rings causing yet another unwanted break in my walk. Looking at the number only to find it to be unknown, deciding that I might as well answer it since no one ever calls me.

"Hello"

"Yes hi Max?" The man on the other end asks.

"Yes this is he."

"Good, Max you may not remember me but I am the doctor that took care of you after that fight and the accident." Oh right, I guess I missed my appointment or something.

"Yes sir I remember you." I tell him.

"Well its about time I take a look at your arm, you should be good to go and take that sling off now. I just want to check you over before you take it off." Right I have been wearing this thing for forever now it would be good to be able to use both of my arms, even though I have been using it a little bit and it doesn't hear nearly as much as it did before.

"Right when would you like me to come in?" I ask

"The sooner the better, if can even come over right now, I know Katelyn is dying for you to get that better she calls every other day asking when you can come in again." That sounds like my Katelyn.

"Well as long as you don't mind my baby sister coming along I'll be right over."

"That is more than fine, I will see you soon than." With a goodbye I hung up the phone and looked at Sophia, her face turned red and within second started to cry, Its about time I changed her.

*********

"Just as I though you are good to go." Said that doctor as he placed the sling on the seat next to me. "Now finally Katelyn can stop calling me and yelling at me." He laugh as his own words.

"She will be cray happy to see me with both arms again." Sophia giggles suddenly causing me to find what was so funny when I see a women about the same age as my doctor making faces at her.

"Oh I am so sorry," She says as she walks into the room. "she is just too cute."

"No you are fine, she loves the attention." I tell her happily.

"Sweetheart what are you doing back so soon, I though you where helping your brother's pa- family? What are you doing back so soon." I see Katelyn didn't tell them that I know either.

"I did what I could do, there are just somethings you can't change dear no matter how badly you wish you could." She tells him sadly.

"I am sorry, not to be rude but can I ask what is wrong?" They both look at me with sad smiles.

"My brothers wife is sadly unable to carry a pu- baby to full term, they are heart broken and its killing them. I tried my best to do everything I could but they lost the baby its the fifth time it has happen and they decided to give up, they cant keep going trow the heart break."

"Why don't they just have someone else carry the baby, I mean if she can have a child but not carry it full term just have a surrogate mother." They both look at me as if they have never heard of this before.

"But the cost of a surrogate mother is anywhere from 25 thousand to 50 thousand dollars, there is no way that they can afford that and with our sixth and seventh child on the way we can afford to help them." That is amazing seven children what Katelyn said was true many werewolf like to have large families.

"Well I know a group that will work out a plan for the family, my aunt had to have a surrogate for she was unable to carry children as well I am sure they would love to help your brother and his wife." They both look at one another before looking back at me.

"That is very sweet of you honey but the mother has to be well... special it can't be just anyone." She tells me. I understand what she is saying but its not like I can tell her I understand that they aren't human.

"Well at least take a look," I write down the number and the name of agency that helped my aunt and handed it to her. "you just might find that special someone you need. It cant hurt to take a look." She took the piece of paper with a small smile on her face.

"Thank you Max, maybe you are right."

Walking out of the hospital and out to the small court yard I take a seat under a large tree with Sophia, taking her out of her stroller and placing her on my lap. I use my other hand, yes I can use it again, and place her play blanket on the green grass and yes it is a pooh bear blanket and I set her down. I take out the gallon of baby water to make her a bottle, and hand it to her. I watch her carefully as she eats.

What should I do about Paige and her brother? I haven't told her about the talking in the hall the other day it what they said. Now I have met him today and she has no idea. I don't want her to get mad at me for holding back on telling her. I will tell her about Parrish after I surprise her. The last think I want to do is ruin what could be an amazing evening. I'll just tell her tomorrow morning.

"Why don't we surprise Katelyn tonight, take her out to dinner and show off my newly healed arm." I ask her. "Now where to take her is the real question?" I got it! Taking out my phone I hit Katelyn's picture to call her.

"Hey Max what's up?"
