The Billionaire's Surrogate

Chapter 31

      "Goodmorning Eloise, how's it going?" Anthony asked as he opens the door of his SUV for me.

     "I'm excited. I cant wait to find out what kind of babies we're having" I say as I kiss his cheek and sit in the front seat.

    "Well, you're still gonna need some patience. We aren't finding that out today remember " he chuckles.

   He closes my door then walked around and got into the driver's seat. "I know, I cant wait till next week end. What do you think we're having?" I asked him.

   I did my seatbelt and he drove off.

   "I really want a son, as long as I get a son I'm fine. No matter the gender I will love them dearly, I already love them and they aren't even here yet, but I really would love a son" he says.

   "Have I ever mentioned my dreams to you?" I ask him.

   "Dreams? Like your goals in life or actual dreams?" he asks.

   "Actual dreams. I've had them a couple times before. I dream of our babies. A boy and a girl, I see them play and laugh and I just love it when I have those dreams. I see you in them too" I tell him.

    "Really, what do I do in them?" he asks with a smile before he returns his attention to the road.

    "Sometimes you play with them, sometimes we're all just together as a happy family" I tell him. He laughs and takes my hand with his free hand and kisses the back of it.

     "That sounds nice" he says and uses his thumb to caress the back of my hand.

    We have gotten so close over the past 3 months. He was officially my boyfriend, and it warmed my heart to think about it.

    "So I assume you think we're having a boy and a girl?"

     "Well I guess my mind just formulated that dream to allow me to have a thought of what will be, because at first I only had dreams of a baby boy but when I found out I was having twins I began seeing a boy and a girl" I explain to him.

    "Well as I said before whatever gender they are I'm gonna be ecstatic. As long as we're all together" he says.

   I reach over the arm rest in the middle and place a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you" I say.

    "For what?"

   "For just being here and for the kind words. I appreciate it" I say to him.

    "You're welcome Eloise and as for the kind words, they are not spoken lightly, I mean them with every ounce of my being" he says and a feeling of love floods my body.

      I've fallen for Anthony and I dont regret a thing about it.

                              ~~~

    "Here you go Ms. Sullivan. Due to your request your results are in this sealed envelope. Now dont go ruining the surprise. I've had parents say they dont want to know and due to temptation they rip the envelope open as I give it to them" the doctor laughs and I chuckle as well.

    "The temptation is strong trust me, which is why I'll let Anthony hold unto it until we get to hand it over to my friend" I say to her, handing the envelope to a laughing Anthony.

     "Thank you doc, have a nice day" Anthony says and we exit the doctors office and head towards the cafe so Cammy could have the envelope and so I could be free of this temptation.

   *Ruth's P.O.V*

"Goodmorning Ruth".

   Patrick walks into the room and I mute the tv. I was sitting in the couch, wrapped in my robe with all the lights off, windows closed and curtains drawn.

     "Hey" I say.

  "You need to stop wallowing in self pity, I'm getting tired of seeing you like this Ruthy" he says.

   "Who says I'm wallowing?"

   "Oh come on Ruth, it's obvious. You have 2 empty bottles of wine on the table before you, you're sitting alone in the darkness and you haven't gone outside in almost a month. You need to get over this" he says and I feel a sting from his words.

    "How do you expect me to just get over it Patrick. My life is practically over. I'm too old to start over and who's gonna want to have a life with someone like me? I cant even have children for crying out loud" I say and the tears are full on flowing by the end of my statement.

    "I was so foolish to think that he had truly forgiven me. I was so foolish to hurt him like I did. That's what I am, a fool. A miserable fool" I say and I kick the pillow that was between my legs to the floor.

     "Ruth you need to calm down. Your life is nowhere near over, this is your chance to have a fresh start. I'm here, you know I'll always be here for you" he says and he tries to approach me but I jump to my feet and back away.

   I start laughing like a mad woman and he gets very concerned.

   "You're right Pat, it's not over. It's far from over. As a matter of fact it's almost starting, I'm just waiting on the right time. Oh how wonderful!" I exclaim still full on laughing.

   I'm having a nervous breakdown but I dont dwell on that thought. My nervous breakdown feels like a breakthrough right now. This is the first in so long that I let out my feelings and it was maddening.
    
    "Ruth, I'm so worried about you. You need help" he says and he comes to me but this time I dont back away. He hugs me close to him and my laughter returns to crying. To any onlooker I would appear to be a certified mad woman.

      "It'll be ok Ruth, let it out" he says and I cant help but to disbelieve him.
