A line. Parallel. No wait, two lines. As you look at the pregnancy test you took a mere 5 minutes ago, you can’t believe your eyes. Your whole life is about to change and too many things are hitting you at once. You and your husband of 2 years, Jimin, were not trying to start a family right now; granted, it isn’t like you were the most careful couple ever (the flashbacks making you blush) but nonetheless. Scaring you out of your frozen state, your phone lights up showing that Jimin is calling you. Oh no! What is he going to think? Children had been discussed in the past and there was definitely a want there but you mutually agreed to wait until his schedule had calmed down a little bit.
Taking a deep breath and trying to steady your voice, you take the call. As soon as he picks up, he is full of energy, “Hello my love, I am about to head home, did you want me to pick up something to eat for dinner? I know we have both been busy so I figured some takeout would heal the soul hahahaha! Oh wait, it is a bit later than usual. Have you already eaten? Sorry, let me be quiet for a second so you can answer!”. You can’t help but grin at how caring he is just towards you and have to keep yourself from drifting off into how great he would be as a father lest you start crying. Sniffling and clearing your throat discreetly, you answer, “Hey hun, yeah takeout is fine, I’ll just take some veggie ramen. Thanks for being so thoughtful!”. There’s a pause, “Jagiya, are you feeling well?”, he asks.
You freeze up because the truth is, you haven’t been feeling well. Your stomach was already unsettled before which is what prompted you to take the test in the first place and after the results, you feel even more unsteady than before. There’s no way for him to know that though so why the wellness inquiry out of the blue? You decide to try and play it cool and reply, “I’m fine, just not super hungry today love.”, he gives a skeptical okay then says that he is leaving work now and should be home in about 30 minutes with the food.
A little over a half hour later, your husband walks through the door as you are sat on the couch catching up on your shows as you had the day off today. He comes in and places a kiss on the top of your head before setting down the bag of food on the counter. Walking to the front of the couch, he leans in, kissing your nose, “How was my girl’s day huh?” he asks with a grin. You give a small smile, “It was good but much better now that you are here.” He gives you a peck on the forehead then states, “I’m gonna go take a quick shower, then we can eat. Unless you’re really hungry now then I’ll wait to wash up”. “I’m fine babe, I promise!” you answer; “Swear?” he asks as he sticks out his pinky. You giggle and make a show of acting as though you can’t see him holding up anything which earns you a cocked eyebrow and him hooking your pinky himself before he walks into the master bathroom.
Not 10 minutes later, and your husband has definitely shifted into home mode; emerging from your shared bedroom in sweatpants, an oversized hoody, and his glasses, still damp hair making him look like a tiny puppy who just got caught in the rain. You start tearing up the moment you see him and he instantly notices, “Honey, are you alright?” You sniffle and stifle the waterworks as best you can while you nod, “yeah I’m fine, you just looked so cozy and tiny and *crying ensues*”. He rushes to your side and rubs your back, “Woah there, it’s okay pretty, in the best way possible, are you about to start your period? It isn’t like you to cry because you find me so cute. It’s super sweet but just wanted to check in”. You start laughing and answer “Good joke, about to start my period HA HA HA, mister funny man, I love you and your sense of humor! XD” You take a deep breath to calm down and then get up to grab the food, blaming the laughing fit on delusional hunger Y/N. Jimin just smiles and nods, lowkey worried but figures food is the cure.
While Jimin is almost done with his 5 course meal, you are barely halfway through your bowl of noodles. You really are hungry but your brain is going a million miles a second thinking about everything yet nothing at once and wondering how soon you should tell him. Should you do it now? Wait until he has had some rest? Wait a month or two so you know all is well? As you are having this debate, you feel his hand gently resting on your knee and have just noticed his head bent down so his eyes can meet yours which have zoned out on the floor beneath you in thought. “y/n, are you sure you are okay? You’ve barely touched your food and something just feels off. You can talk to me you know that.” Pressing a sweet kiss to his cheek, you nod and reply, “ I know I can, just a lot on my mind but I’m fine I promise!” He purses his lips, not completely convinced but drops the subject.
After about an hour of you both passing out on the couch after dinner, you are awoken by a gentle hand on your shoulder and your husband standing behind you with tears in his eyes holding the pregnancy test. Once your eyes adjust, they are wide in panic. Is he upset with the results or that he found out by finding it, you meant to throw the bathroom trash anyway but had forgotten in the midst of everything. He sniffles then comes around to sit beside you, both of his hands holding the test now. Too worried to speak, you just lay a hand on his thigh to let him know you are there if he wants to talk.
“Why didn’t you tell me? How long have you known?” he spurts out. Tears form in your eyes with just the biggest mix of emotions. “I only found out a few minutes before your call earlier and have been processing the news myself and trying to figure out when to tell you because I know you are busy and this is just a big surprise and I didn’t want to stress you out and-“ He cuts you off via a finger on your lips, “You wouldn’t have stressed me out jagiya. Yes I’ve had a long day and yes we have been busy lately, but this is a dream come true!”. As he throws his arms around you, your whole body relaxes instantly. The two of you stay up for the next 3 hours talking about everything and just gushing about how excited you are to start a family.
TIME SKIP: 9 MONTHS LATER
After weeks of preparation, the day is finally here. You are about to give birth to your first child. The nerves are definitely there but you are doing your best to stay calm. Jimin was doing a radio interview about an hour away when you called him that you were in labor and checking into the hospital. He immediately told the host to use whatever material they already had and would be M.I.A. because “his baby is having a baby and I gotta go byyyeeee!!”. He rushes to your side the second he gets to the hospital and doesn’t leave no matter how many times you insist you’ll be fine, glare at him for doing this to you, or putting his hand in a death grip trying to get through the pain.
About 3 hours later, you give birth to a beautiful baby and once the nurse gets you all settled and you’ve held the baby for a bit, Jimin takes the bundle of joy into his arms for the next 2 hours while you nap just talking and occasionally staring as the situation still feels surreal. As you regain consciousness, you hear him talking to the newborn and fake sleep so he doesn’t stop. What you hear only affirms that you sure picked the right man to start a family with almost 3 years ago.
Now to what you heard, Jimin is telling the child, “You know you are so adorable, aish… you take after your eomma so much you know? She’s as precious as you are and I already can tell she will take the best care of you. Me on the other hand… well, I vow to do everything in my power to protect you, love you, and be there for you as long as I live. I feel honored to be your dad and will make sure I do right by you always. Pinky swear.” At those words, your eyes pop open and see him placing his pinky under the baby’s while he gently kisses the forehead. Tears are forming in your eyes and all you can do is croak out an “I love you” while he smiles back and gets up to lay the baby in the crib.
Throughout the years, Jimin definitely did right by his promise. Providing for the both of you and eventually for a second child as well in every capacity to the best of his ability. He even went so far as to take a year of paternity leave for each child because he said that “The guys understand and we have enough projects and content coming out for awhile that it’s all set baby. My family comes first. Always will.”
He was better than you ever imagined with children, making your heart flutter and you swear you fall deeper in love with him every day seeing how he interacts with them. He is the perfect balance of stern enough to not be a pushover but not too intense. He genuinely cares about every facet of their lives and helps you to raise them the best y’all can. Over the years, he keeps a log of pinky and height comparisons which helps his self esteem for about 8 years or so. No matter if he is reassuring the kids, planning a surprise for you, or disciplining them, he always finds a way to to work in his signature to let them know that things are alright between them.

Hello Everyone,
We are Joey and Alex. We've been married just over a year and live in Mount Holly, New Jersey. We've been together now going on 10 years, and we were married on January 11, 2016. Shortly before our wedding, we bought a home together. It has been an incredible journey of starting a life together, and moreover, starting a family. We currently have two fur babies: Jack and Rosie. We have each other, which has made life so very wonderful for both of us, but there has always been that one thing that we have longed for to fill our hearts completely: a baby.
That's why we are here now.
If there is one thing that we know, nothing in life is easy. That includes decisions, which we are faced with every day. We've come across many of those pivotal moments together, from the beginning of our relationship up until now, as we are looking to raise a child together. And of course, as is the challenge for most people in the world we live in, money is the greatest obstacle that we are now faced to overcome. We raise a good living, and we could certainly care for a child, but the task of figuring out how to create that child faces massive hurdles. The costs for Surrogacy are very high, ranging on average anywhere from $90,000 to $130,000 dollars. We are good at a great many things, but not at coming up with that kind of money without help.
Here's a little about us:
We met in January of 2008. The world for same-sex couples was less progressive that short time ago, and we did keep our relationship quiet for a time. We fell madly in love and moved in together later that year.
In late 2008, Joey's late mother, Emma, who had fallen ill with Alzheimer's disease, moved in with us. Joey asked me if she could stay with us for one very simple reason: he had made a promise to her and to his late father that he would never put her in a home. This was certainly a scary time and predicament, as Emma was not well, and would only be getting worse. But we forged through. Emma did decline, falling victim to the awful disease, and growing exceedingly difficult to care for between two people. She lived with us for over five emotional years. We cared for her on our own, and she died in our home with Joey by her side in January of 2014.
At the same time, my father had been battling cancer for many years. He was back and forth in remission, and his body had been ravaged by the treatments. His body finally gave out and my dad passed away in October of 2014. It was considerably one of the worst years of both of our lives. We lost a lot. And yet, both Joey and I remember very clearly something that both of our late parents said they wanted for us: they said they wanted us to be happy, and they wanted us to have a family.
That's where we are now. We are ready to fulfill and honor the wishes of those who have left us, and to bring new life into the world.
We have been blessed to see the birth of so many loved one over the past few years. Joey's two nephews have each just had little ones, out great-niece Logan and our great-nephew Mason . My brother welcomed my niece Callie into the world in 2015 and gave my mother her first grandchild. I want more than anything to give her a second grandchild. My other brother had little Dylan , my nephew, and my sister is expecting her first baby soon.
As to what we are asking for, of course, anything will help. We wish that life had dealt us a slightly better hand financially so that we would not need to ask for help, but unfortunately, this is where we are. And we are completely fine with that and more than grateful for what we DO have. We would just love the opportunity to be the best fathers we could be to a beautiful baby.
Thanks for taking the time, and all our best to you and yours.
Infatuated with the fact he's going to have a precious baby soon. His love is so abundant & pure, our child will only know admiration & support. I'm so blessed to be starting a family with such an amazing soul. #marriedtomybestfriend #interracialcouple #interracialmarriage #mixedbabies #biracialcouple #firsttimemom #firsttimeparents
