A Second Chance. Jen and Brad.

Chapter 56, "Sell us Out".

The next day :

Maria : The nausea is bad again.

Jen : Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.

Maria : It's alright, the doctor gave me some tips to try and calm it down.

Jen's in the kitchen, making her green juice while talking to her surrogate on the phone.

Jen : That's good.

Maria : But I was wondering...

Jen : Yeah.

Maria : When the time is here, when they can tell what gender the baby is, would you wanna know?

Jen : Uhm, I don't know.

Maria : Have you spoken to Brad about it?

Jen : No, not really.

Jen sighs, realizing that's something they need to figure out.

Jen : I know he wants a girl, but I don't know if he would want to know before the birth.

Maria : What about you?

Jen : I don't know... I guess I don't really care if it's a boy or a girl.

Maria : Mhm.

Jen : As long as it's a healthy baby, with all 10 toes... I'm happy.

Hearing steps coming from the hallway, Jen realizes Vivienne must be awake as Brad's steps are way heavier.

Jen : Hold on, I'll call you back Maria.

Maria : Sure.

Jen : Bye.

Jen hangs up the phone, as Vivienne walks into the kitchen.

Jen : Good morning, honey.

Vivienne : Good morning.

Jen : Did you sleep well?

Vivienne yawns, sitting down on one of the stools.

Vivienne : Yeah... is dad still asleep.

Jen : I think he is.

Vivienne : Oh.

Jen : He's not really a morning person.

Upstairs, in Jen's bedroom :

Brad : Yeah, she seemed to have a great time.

Angelina : Good.

Brad yawns, throwing on his shirt.

Angelina : I'll come get her in half an hour.

Brad : You'll come here?

Angelina : Yeah.

Brad : Oh, ok.

Angelina : Can you send me Jen's address?
