Maxim was big time CEO of multiple companies, he was also a married man but he wanted to start a family, unfortunately his wife was infertile and was unable to have children. The news broke both of them but they weren’t going to let it stop him, which is how they learned about surrogacy. He and his agreed to find someone to have a child for them, which is why they both asked you. You were just his secretary but you wanted to help them have a family so you agreed.

Maxim made sure to pay for all the medical expenses and more to start the process. After a few weeks you find out you were pregnant, you approached both of them of the news and they were both thrilled. Maxim had you move in with them so they could help you with the pregnancy. As the months went by you started growing an attachment to the life growing inside you. Each appointment, each movement, each ultrasound picture.. all of it was becoming real for you and you knew for certain .. you wanted to keep the baby.

You kept your mouth shut whenever you saw happy he and his wife got over every update about the baby. You couldn’t tell them you wanted to back out of the deal and keep the baby but it was getting harder each month. As you each the last three months of your pregnancy, you decided to finally tell Maxim about how you felt. You walked out the guest room and made your way down the hall towards Maxim office and knocked until you heard the confirmation to step in.

As you stepped in and closed the door behind you, Maxim greeted you with a soft smile before dropping his gaze to your bump. He got up from his desk and approached you, laying a hand on your numb and feeling the movements of his child.

“Seem’s like the baby is having fun in there. They’re pretty active right now.” he chuckled as he felt the baby’s kick. He turned his gaze towards you, noticing the conflicted expression on your face.

“Hey. Are you okay? Is it the baby? Do you need anything?” he asked gently, moving his hand away from your bump and onto your shoulder for comfort.
