holding the clipboard. "I've
got good news for you."
    Diana looked at the doctor curiously. "Okay. Let's here it."
    "You are pregnant."
    She heard the words coming from the doctor's mouth, but she did not
understand what she said exactly.
    "Can you say that again?"
    "Yes, you are pregnant."
    "Wait. I came in today for the insemination."
    Dr. Carroll nodded. "You did. But we always run a screening
first to detect any possible pregnancy. And you are indeed pregnant.
We need to just do a little more and see how far along you are."
    Diana held her hand up. "I just need a second."
    Dr. Carroll gently rubbed her on the arm. "I know it was not
expected. But isn't it the result you intended?"
    The doctor paused. "Does Mr. Marshall know?"
    Diana knew exactly what it was the doctor was asking her. "He
does not just yet. I think he will be happy to know it."
    "Why don't we go ahead with the exam and I will get you some
pictures on the sonogram to take back with you."
    Diana watched on the screen until the tiny baby showed up. Her heart
filled with love, a feeling of fulfillment that she had never
experienced before. She stared at the screen which became blurry when
tears filled her eyes. Diana used the edge of her gown to wipe her
tears away.
    She listened as the doctor told her all about how far along she was
and gave her some tips on diet, sleep, and exercise.
    "So did you not notice you were pregnant?" Dr. Carroll
asked as she ripped the sonogram pictures off and passed them to
Diana.
    "I really didn't. But then again, I've never been pregnant
before so I would not know what signs to look for."
    "You may have some nausea from morning sickness in the first
trimester. Eat, but keep track of your weight. I know most people
like to carry on that they are eating for two, but truthfully, you
should pay attention to your weight to avoid gestational diabetes.
I'll give you some literature."
    Diana stared at the sonogram picture, trying to take it all in.
    "Diana, you will be just fine. We will see you every four weeks
for your visits."
    Dr. Carroll left her there to let the information sink in. Diana ran
her fingers over the edge of the sonogram. Just as she was starting
to get attached, she remembered she was in this as a surrogate. But
she wondered if things would change due to the circumstances under
which the baby was conceived.
    *****
    Diana was not yet ready to tell Charlotte or Clay for that matter.
She knew Clay would not be back home for another few days so she had
some time to spare. She wanted to keep a little for herself for a
moment before she shared the news.
    Finally, after all of the stress and the wondering, she was pregnant.
That was what the entire journey was all about. Getting pregnant and
having the baby for the billionaire playboy. And while waiting for
the baby to arrive, the agreement was she would live in luxury and
have all of her needs taken care of. It was a good deal, one she
thought she could see through when she first started. The amount of
money being offered was more than she'd ever seen in her life at one
time. Definitely the kind of gig that could get her back on the right
track.
    There were a few things she had not counted on. The immediate bond
she felt with the baby as soon as the pregnancy was confirmed and
falling for Clay. She had all of this planned out, using the
opportunity as a stepping stone toward her future. Diana had a desire
to get out of the career she was in for a while. Her plan was to use
the money from Clay and take some classes while she was pregnant, get
a new certification, and then go and start over again.
    She had not anticipated falling for Clay and his lifestyle. When she
agreed to all of this, she thought it would be simple to just detach
herself from all of it and remain aloof. But that was hard to do when
Clay was so charming. He showed genuine concern for her and her
thoughts and feelings. She had not anticipated the conversations and
the ability to get to know one another
