His Perfect, Fuller Figure Surrogate

Chapter 5

Andre.

The thought of being a father wasn’t the craziest thing to Andre, of course, he was excited about it but the craziest part about the whole thing was the fact that he knew the surrogate. When he had gotten her profile amongst the others, he almost couldn’t believe it.

He knew instantly that he would choose her, Sophie Holland, the girl he had drooled over for years. Maybe he should’ve thought it through and maybe he should’ve chosen someone else considering they had gone to school together and although he never told her about it, he had had a huge crush on her. He was three years younger than her which of course meant she was out of his league, but it didn’t stop him from admiring her from afar. Andre had always pictured being with her and having children with her, but he had gotten over it as the years went by, however, seeing her profile felt as if it were meant to be.

He couldn’t believe that after so many years he would see Sophie again and this time around it would be for something that would somehow link back to his dreams. Of course, he didn’t have feelings for her after the time had passed between them, but he could picture his child being absolutely beautiful with her genetics. He loved her braided hair and her milk chocolate skin color, he had always thought that whoever she ended up with would be lucky to have children with her.

When she had arrived at the meeting, he could tell that she recognized him, but it was clear that she couldn’t pinpoint exactly where from. He wasn’t surprised that she didn’t say anything, he thought that she would be too shy to say something under those circumstances which was why he didn’t say anything either. He didn’t want to scare her off especially with everything running so smoothly with the procedure.

Andre made his way home feeling extremely happy about the situation, almost finding it too good to be true that everything had worked out so easily. Sophie passed all the tests and within a few days she would have the eggs implanted, it was all very exciting for Andre. He was so much closer to what he wanted most.

Once home Andre went to the side of the house, he had made available for Sophie. The two sides were separated by a door that he had placed specially to give Sophie her privacy but also easy access if either of them wanted to speak to the other He thought despite this being a weird living arrangement for them both, that Sophie would be comfortable knowing he couldn’t just walk in on her at any time. There would be boundaries placed so that they both felt comfortable sharing the house together.

He knew he wouldn’t force Sophie to be around him all the time, but he did want her to always let him know when something involving the baby happened. He didn’t expect her to do anything for him and really, he wouldn’t mind if she just stopped working so he could make sure the baby is always safe. Of course, he would not stop her from working though unless she wanted to and if she did, he would have no problems paying her more just to make up for her lost salary.

He made sure that the bedroom was neat, as well as the bathroom before moving over to the kitchen. He didn’t know what she liked to eat so he had bought a variety of things for her until she made her own list. He placed the credit card for her on the kitchen counter so she would see it right away considering the door that separated the two sides opened into the kitchen.

There was a back door available for Sophie so she wouldn’t have to walk through his side just to get to her side, but Andre thought that when she’d first arrive, he will lead her through the front door just so she doesn’t feel as if she can’t be there. He wanted her to feel at home and welcome no matter where she was in the house.

He wasn’t sure what time she would be arriving because they hadn’t discussed it, but he decided that for the first night there he would prepare dinner for her, it would give them the opportunity to talk to each other and to get to know each other a bit more. He wanted to know why she had chosen to be a surrogate.

When he had been in school with Sophie, he had thought she would be doing something else with her life, such as leading a high-powered job. She always seemed to be so focused on her grades and exceeding in school when it came to everything she did so when he had come across her profile, he was extremely shocked. He wanted to know why she hadn’t done anything else, not in a bad way but he was interested in her life.

He called one of his friends that know how to cook and asked for some help regarding cooking a dinner that wouldn’t be hard for him to cook since he didn’t have much experience with cooking. His friend gave him instructions and after ordering a few ingredients offline Andre began cooking. He was told that a roast chicken with vegetables would be easy enough to cook for someone who didn’t cook much.

He watched the time tick by as he waited for Sophie to arrive, he still hadn’t heard from her so he didn’t know how long she would be before arriving. He had been at home for just over an hour and had just started preparing the chicken with spices before he heard his doorbell ring.

He quickly rushed to the door and looked through the peephole. He was surprised to see Sophie standing on the other side of the door as she hadn’t sent him a message or given him a call to tell him she was on her way. He opened the door with a smile and gestured for Sophie to go in.

“Hi, sorry I didn’t call or anything. I just made my way here without thinking about it,” she said.

“Oh, that’s no problem. I was just making dinner, I thought we could eat together tonight just to get over any awkwardness. How does that sound?” he asked.

“That sounds good to me. Shall I bring in my things now or later?” she asked.

“Well, you can bring your things in the house now and I’ll show you around. The second garage is for your car so let me open that so you can park instead of leaving your car in the street,” he replied.

Sophie went back out to her car and once Andre had opened the garage door, she pulled her car into the garage next to his. He made his way to her car and helped take some of her things inside.

“Thank you,” she said as she followed him into the house.

“You’re welcome. So, as you can see we’re coming in through the front door, however, there is a back door that you’re welcome to use that will lead you straight to your side of the house if you don’t want to be bothered by me, although I promise to give you your privacy,” Andre said as he lead them into the lounge area that was across from the kitchen.

“Oh, that’s great. Thank you,” she replied.

“It’s a pleasure. Let me show you where you will be staying and just know you’re always welcome to visit my side,” Andre said as he walked past his bedroom, his study and down the hallway that led to the door that had been placed in the middle of the house.

“Welcome to your new home,” he said as he opened the door and allowed her to enter in front of him.
