LENA POV:

It was early in the morning and Stef was still sleeping, I headed downstairs and rested in the lounging area as I sip my cup of tea and watch television. Until the house phone rang. I leaped up and ran to the kitchen where the house phone rested on its dock, I was running as quick as possible for two reasons, one being that I didn't want the phone to stop ringing before I got there and the other being the hope of the person on the other end being my doctor.

"Hello, Lena Adams Foster" I open the conversation with.

"Hi, Lena, it's Dr.Hoot, I have your fertility levels back from the lab, would you like me to tell you over the phone or in person." This made me so nervous, my hands were sweating and each butterfly in my stomach shook inside.

"Erm...phones fine"

"Well, your fertility levels are great just as should be, but if you was to have a baby it's now or never, they could drop at any moment given your accident. Would you like me to prescript you with fertility tablets to help the process?" He questioned. It was now or never, so of course I did.

"Yes, yes please. That's great. Thank you"

"They will be ready to collect in 4 hours time, goodbye" he said.

"Goodbye Doctor"

I hang up the phone and place it back on the dock to find Stef run down the stairs and meet me in the hallway.

"Did you say doctor?" She said with excitement. I stood smiling wider than ever and tears filled my eyes with the possibility. I nodded up and down as she leaped forward and hugged me close. "What did he say?"

"It's now or never" I said, looking into her eyes to see if she desperately wanted this as much as I did.

"Let's have a baby then" she said as she picked me up off the floor and spun me around laughing. I could tell she did want this, and the next step for us is to find a donor, but this is something we needed to talk about.

"Let's get ready, go out for lunch and pick up my medication" I suggested as she agreed and we went upstairs to get dressed into casual jeans and a top.

Once we had dressed we quickly made some breakfast and ate before leaving for a quick trip of shopping around before lunch and the pick up of my medication.

We was walking around the mall heading in and out of several shops until we came to a shop that filled me with joy, and Stef could see in my eyes how much one day that I can go in and spend endless amounts of money inside.

"Let's go in, have a look" she said as she seen my excitement as we walked towards the shop.

"What?! Isn't it kind of like... bad luck" I say stopping outside the shop.

"No, we will just look" she said as she pulled me inside 'mamas and papas' shop.

"Look at this pushchair, I love it" I said as I become in my comfort zone looking at all these baby accessories.

"And this crib. Too cute. Baby we will be able to buy all this some day" Stef said taking my hand in hers and all this situation became so realistic.

"And I can't wait for that day. But let's go get some lunch, I'm starving" I say as we leave the shop coming towards our favourite American diner.

I order my favourite vegetable burger and sweet potato fries with a side of salad while Stef orders a chicken burger with chilli spiced fries and a corn on the cob. While we waited for our meal to be cooked I decided it was time we spoken about the whole donor situation.

"So Stef, if we have to do this now, who do we choose for a donor?" I ask  as she looks into my eyes with no answer.

"I don't know, does it need to be somebody we know?" She asked sipping on her coke through a straw.

"I was thinking maybe we could choose somebody we trust, and I was kinda thinking I could ask Timothy, from work?" I suggest as my face scrunches with fear from her reply.

"Erm...would it be easier if it's anonymous... so that only we become the child's parents"

"I'd make sure he signed the contact to make sure that only we are the parents" I said as she could see I was trusted by Timothy. And she knew so she backed down and said "can we talk about this later? Our food is coming"

I knew she used this as a throw off topic and a distraction because she wasn't sure if she wanted it to be Timothy. Which I understood, she didn't know him well. And I'd mike sure I invite him over for a meal with us at home where he can sign the contact and Stef can start to know him. It was important that if someone like Timothy was our donor or someone we knew and trusted that they signed a contact to agree that only Stef and I become the parents of this lucky child, and that the donor becomes anonymous so nobody can know except Stef and I.

We ate our dinner and I knew the next stop was the chemist where I can pick up my medication, so I could start my fertility and allow my hormones to adopt to the right level and allow my pregnancy process to be easier. To also allow my eggs to become fertilised easier too.

I've always dreamt of being a mother, and me and Stef are going to be the best mother's going.

A/N: thanks for being patient with my lack of regular updates lately but I am going to get a few done this week.

Do you think Timothy should be the donor?
