Emily's pov

"I know that you don't wish to know who the biological mother or father is, however, I can tell you that our scientists have cultured blastocysts from both of your ova and have chosen embryos to implant into the surrogates uterus"

"I'm sorry, but I'm an English teacher and  biology is definitely not my strong suit"

Dr. Ward laughs at me before explaining the process to me in English

"The scientists have put fertilised eggs into the surrogates womb" she smiles

"So what happens now?" Emily asks, scribbling notes onto her notepad

"We have successfully began the process of pregnancy, so now we treat this as a normal pregnancy. The surrogate will go to regular scans and will carry your child. Congratulations Emily and Alison, you are pregnant" Dr. Ward grins

Emily's pov

"Do you think we should've adopted?" I ask

"Why? Do you?"

"I'm just worried because I know that you really wanted a boy and you know pregnancy is a fifty-fifty chance"

"Emily babe, a few months ago I had a long conversation with Hanna and she basically told me to get my shit together because having another baby wouldn't make our family perfect, because it already is. She reminded me of what I already have. Em, I don't care whether we have a girl, a boy or a fucking alien. All I want is to have another child with the woman I love, I want Lily and Grace to be big sisters and I want our already perfect family to grow" Alison passionately says before flashing me a flirtatious smirk

I smile while I pull her hair away from her face, I anticipated kissing her however, I get lost in her eyes and begin to lovingly process every detail of her face

"What?" She awkwardly giggles

"You are so beautiful"

"No I'm not" Ali sheepishly blushes

"Yeah you are. You are gorgeous inside and out"

"Are you saying that because I finally got rid of the bangs?"

"No" I giggle "But I do prefer your hair like this, because I get to see more of your beautiful face" I run my hand between her long hair as she traces her fingertips along her; as Lily and Grace say 'naked forehead'

"You're such a dork" Alison smiles, standing up from the sofa

"Can you believe we are actually going to be moms again?" I excitedly ask, following her to the kitchen

"Don't jinx it. But I can't wait, just another nine months"

"Are we still waiting until the end of the first trimester to tell anyone?"

"Yes, just in case. Touch..."

"Touch wood" I finish Ali's sentence while over estimating my strength as I almost knock myself out by hitting my head
