Designer Baby

The third woman caught him completely off guard. She was stunningly beautiful, she had large green eyes and they looked kind and inviting in a welcoming way, But the thing that really caught Robert off guard was that her skin was fairly dark, almost like black coffee with just a touch of cream. He stared at her face, drawn in by her, sure that he was looking at the one that he should consider first above the other two.

He thought about his child, and what that child might look like, and it intrigued him enormously. He had black hair and blue eyes, and he was tall. He considered a child with his height, her green eyes and darker skin, and his black hair. It would be an exotic looking child, something special, and something very different. Robert discovered he was taken with the idea, right from that moment.

"Call her, Brad. Call her up and see if I can meet her, please." He handed the image and information sheet to Bradley.

"I'll do it right away, and I'll let you know as soon as I hear back from her." Bradley took the page and said a polite farewell and then disappeared, as Bradley was often wont to do when he had completed his tasks.

Robert was careful not to let his mind wander too far. Thinking about a child at this point was considerably premature, but the possibility of it was beginning to glow lightly on the horizon, like a sunrise.
