Sorry I've been inactive but I just started my sophomore year in high school so I was a little busy getting adjusted back into school. Also I have a schedule for writing now.

I'll write 200 words a day or more and publish every ten days, if I finish early (which might happen) it will not be posted until the tenth day, if I do not finish (which probably will happen) then I will double upload

Aras POV

     I left the party last night at three in the morning and drove to my office to work on stuff for the Golden Age. It took me a lot to get drunk at parties, but not very much to have fun. 

     It is now eight in the morning, I had slept for two hours at my desk. I didn't feel like sleeping or working now. 

     I had always wanted a family, a real family. My parents weren't around to take care of me, I was brought up by my grandmother who passed away ten years ago of a heart attack. I wanted what I never had for my children. If I was ever to have any.

     Denis and Corl appoched me two months ago about being a surrogate, I had expressed interest in it casually with them before. They knew, that even though I was crazy, I wasn't stupid. Over dinner we talked about it, the child would be their's, I would be its aunt. I could breastfeed the child if I wanted to, but I would also give them my milk so the child could feed without me. I was going to be inseminated tomorrow. I was so happy for Denis and Corl, they were such a lovely couple and deserved a child. I was happy to even carry one inside me. We had debated over who's sperm would be the best and ended up having the doctor take two sperm samples, one from Denis, one from Corl. The doctor would pick one and we would never know who's sperm was used. The doctor labeled them with both there names, this was threw the Golden Age, so we got around all the legal father stuff. No one would ever know. 

     I knew I wouldn't be drinking alcohol for a while or having coffee, so this morning I wasn't going to have any. However, I only drank coffee if I was super tired so this really was nothing. Denis and Corl were worried for the baby and me, I promised them I would send them a log of what I ate everyday, not go on any missions after the two month mark of my pregnancy they couldn't be big missions either, and get at least eight hours of sleep a night. I also would try and see them as much as possible.

     Denis and Corl hope it's a girl, and I couldn't agree more, I hope it's a girl too. I stood up from my chair and went over my bed at my office, I spent a lot of time here, so the bed was nice. I was tired but couldn't sleep. I could still try though, I laid down on the bed and tried to clear my mind. I fell asleep after two hours, and only slept for thirty minutes. But at least I wasn't as tired. 

     I went to check my email and found some intell on the underground from our spies. Nothing big stuck out except for an assassination at a gala tonight. I assigned that to me and Jenny that would definitely boost me up, I then realized how much Jenny would probably hate wearing a dress, going to a party, and she was probably tired from the night before. So I decided Denis and Corl should come instead. One last big mission before I wasn't able to go on any for nine months, or, possibly not nine months, there was only a twenty percent chance it would work the first time.
