MARIELLE- “I think it is a wonderful idea, but I don’t know, Cruz...I am going to be thirty five in a few weeks, I may be too old. That is why Jason and I have not had anymore children of our own.”
CRUZ- “I called a clinic that specializes in this type of pregnancies and they said as long as the female was under forty , healthy and had carried a child to term, they see no issues. I would pay the going rate for surrogates, which is 30 thousand and all medical expenses.”
MARIELLE- “Wow, you really do want to do this.”
CRUZ- “Akira does as well, but he said if you said no, he would understand and we would just adopt. But to have a child of your own blood, would be really important to him...to us. Of course we would tell the child after it got older how they came to be. No more surprises like we had with Evie!”
MARIELLE- “Ok...I am willing...but I need to make sure Jason is okay with it. I wasn’t a very pleasant person when I was pregnant with Leo.”
CRUZ- “OH ....MARIELLE!! You have made me so happy. Talk to Jason and if he doesn’t agree with it, we understand. But, I think he will agree...thank you so much!!’
MARIELLE- “I want to meet this doctor you spoke of as well and want a thorough examination., If we do this I don’t want any complications.”
CRUZ- “Once ...well if...Jason gives the okay, we can set up and appointment for you to meet her.”
