As soon as we got home, Bria immediatley went upstairs to the bedroom and I stayed downstairs, taking a seat on the couch. I sighed resting my chin in my hand and thought: Who could possibly be a surrogate for me and Bria? I know none of our parents could do it. Bria's mom isn't capable and my mom is in remission from cancer.
I pulled my phone from my pocket and just scrolled around, trying to occupy my mind, when something caught my eye. I still have Linzi's number. When we graduated I said I would still keep in contact with her, but since Bria and I got back together I kind of broke my promise. Besides I know Bria doesn't like Linzi that well.
But what's the harm of me calling an old high school friend? We're just talking, it shouldn't hurt to see how she's doing? I dialed her number and waited for someone to pick up. After the third ring, someone picked up, but they didn't say hello.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Zander?"
"Linzi?"
"Yeah! I haven't spoken to you since we graduated! How are you?"
"I'm good, doing good. How about yourself?"
"Working at the tattoo and peircing shop. I am a certified tattoo artist. What are you up to these days?"
"I got a job at the music shop here in Fresno."
"You moved to Fresno?"
"Yeah, moved in with Bria right after high school." I chuckled.
"You're still with her? How is she?"
"Not on the best terms right now. We ended up pregnant and unfortantely today at the doctor's we found out Bria had a miscarriage. So she's pretty upset."
Linzi gasped on the other end of the phone. "I am so sorry! I'm so sorry to hear that, Zander. I mean are you guys willing to try again?"
"I mean the doctor said we could, but she wouldn't suggest it because we'd have the same outcome again. She did suggest that we get a surrogate to carry the baby."
"Is that why you called me?"
"What? No! I called to ask how you were-"
"- I'll do it for you. Please, Zander? You're a good friend of mine and I know your girlfriend weren't on best terms but I can understand she's really hurting. I want to carry your child."
All I called was to see how Linzi was doing and she basically said that we could put our baby inside of her! That was quicker than I expected.
"Uhm, I mean I'll have to talk this over with Bria and see what she says. But I mean if you're willing to do this then we can do this. But like I said I want to talk to Bria first."
"Definitely."
"Linzi, you have no idea how happy I am to hear you say that." I smiled.
"HEAR WHAT?!"
I looked up towards the steps and saw Bria standing on the steps, she didn't look too happy either. Fuck!
