All I Ever Wanted

I stare at the circled date on the kitchen calendar. There, marked with red pen, is the day my husband and I will bring our child home. A moment we’ve waited so long for. But can I separate a baby from his true mother?

As soon as I married Mark, I knew he’d make an excellent father. So when we discover I cannot carry a child, our world shatters. As we come to terms with the news, my husband gently suggests we look at a surrogate. But I feel uneasy. Having another woman carry our baby is one thing, but when I learn we need to use her eggs as well, I’m painfully aware of what I can never give him.

The moment I meet Dani, I try to put my mind at rest. She’s young and beautiful, and so happy to give us our own darling baby. But I can’t shake the hurt building inside me that this baby will never truly feel like my own.

As I watch her looking at the sonogram, I’m sure I see a flicker of love in her eyes. In the dimly-lit room, the fear I’ve ignored for months comes rushing back in: This is her child… not mine. Could I live with myself if I took her baby?

I try to ignore the panic beating in my heart. Dani wants to give us all we’ve ever wanted. But can I really come between a mother and her baby? And if I can’t, will it destroy my marriage?
