After leaving Grayson's room she went to her bedroom and sat beside Danny.

"Danny."

"Yeah, sweets?"

"Do you think I should carry the baby?"

"What baby?"

"Zachary's.  Do you think I should carry the baby for them?"

"What?"

"Daniel!"

"You would do that?
.. Could you do that?"

"I mean.. yeah!  Of course I would.. I'd do anything for them."

"What made you think of this?"

"Grayson suggested it."

"I don't know, this is something you'd really have to think about.  You'd be putting in the work then having to give the baby away."

"But it's not like it's my own child.  It's my grandchild!  I would still see the baby obviously.  Then the kids wouldn't have to pay all that money for a surrogate."

"Wow.. well we can look into it.
You know that when they implant you it could turn into multiple babies?  Two, even three."

"You're only saying that because you just watched that episode of Friends where Phoebe had the the triplets!  Besides, that's with every pregnancy, really!  You always stand the chance of having multiple babies.  I had twins!"

"That's true.."

"Do you not think I should do it?  You don't seem very on board."

"No, I didn't say that!  I just want you to really think about it."

"Daniel.. if I can give my son and his wife a baby.. then I don't care of going through another pregnancy and another birth.
To give them a Baby!  Honey, I'll do it all over again."

"Okay.. well then I support you one hundred percent."

Jessica smiles and gives him a hug.
"Thank you, Danny!"

Two days later.

Jessica woke up and made breakfast for everyone.  Grayson was downstairs doing his homework so Jessica decided to tell him what the plan was for today.

"So Grayson.. today we're going to go Zach's house and.. I'm gonna tell them that I want to be their surrogate."

"Really?" He smiles.

"Yeah.  I thought about it and did my research.. and I really want to do it."

"I knew you'd do the right thing, momma!" He smiles.

"Heh!  Thank you for giving me the idea."

"No problem!  I'm I nice guy."

"Yes you are." Jessica chuckles and kisses his cheek.

After breakfast they drove to Zachary and Alyssa's.

"Hey!  We weren't expecting you guys, come in!" Zachary smiles.

"We were just in the neighborhood." Jessica shrugs.

"Awesome!  Aly's upstairs, she should be down in a minute."

"Well good.. we um.. I have something I want to talk to you two about." Jessica says.

"Is everything okay?"

"Yeah, everything's fine." She smiles.

"Alright, well let me grab her."

"Alright..
Grayson, will you keep your sister entertained, please?"
