was ready but he
really didn't have time to think about that right now, he needed to
call Henrietta.
    She answered on the second ring.
    “ Hello,” she answered.
    “ Henrietta? This is Roy Gardner. How are
you?” Roy asked eagerly.
    “ I’m fine. I’ve been trying to
reach you and your wife. I didn’t realize the number you gave
me was your work number, but I wanted to speak to you both,”
Ettie said.
    “ It’s my cell. I just had all my calls
directed to the office. I was hoping you would call. Would you like
to meet for lunch somewhere?” Roy asked.
    “ Yes, that would be perfect,” Ettie
replied. “Where would you have in mind?”
    “ How about Searsucker? It’s on
Colorado,” Roy replied.
    “ Okay. It will take me a while to get there,
about an hour and a half. Is two thirty okay?” Ettie asked.
    “ Where are you coming from?” Roy
inquired.
    “ I live in Southgate,” Ettie said
carefully.
    “ Oh. I had no idea. Would you like to meet
somewhere closer?” Roy recovered.
    “ No. Searsucker is fine. I’ll see you
both soon,” Ettie said, hanging up.
    Roy quickly dialed Melissa’s cellphone. It went to voicemail.
He tried three more times before she finally answered.
    “ Hello?” Melissa snapped.
    “ Mel. I’ve been trying to call you,”
Roy exclaimed.
    “ I know. I’m in an important meeting,”
Melissa stated.
    “ Melissa. Ettie wants to meet us for lunch
at two-thirty. I think she had decided,” Roy said excitedly.
    “ Today? I have an important client I can’t
reschedule Roy. You have to go without me.”
    “ Mel, I can’t go without you! That’s
ridiculous. I’m sure the client will understand.”
    “ Roy I’ve taken off so much time
already. I already rescheduled this meeting once. I can’t just
change plans at the last minute. Call Henrietta and reschedule,”
Melissa said exasperated.
    “ I can’t do that. She’s already
on her way and she’s coming from Southgate,” Roy
protested.
    “ I just can’t make it Roy. I don’t
know what else to tell you. Call me if there is any news,”
Melissa said hanging up the phone.
    Roy was perturbed. He couldn’t believe Melissa could brush off
something as important as this. He wanted to call her back but he
knew that it would only lead to more arguing. He didn’t get
her. He blew off an important meeting. Surely this client wasn’t
more important than their child. He didn’t want to have a
negative vibe when he saw Henrietta so he filed it away, he would
talk to Mel about it later. He headed to the company gym where he
showered and changed for his lunch date.
    As Roy drove towards the restaurant, his excitement grew. In the back
of his mind there was a nagging voice asking him if Melissa was as
invested in this journey as he was but he brushed it off as annoyance
with her from earlier. When he arrived, Henrietta was already
waiting.
    “ Hello Henrietta,” Roy beamed at her.
    She flashed a smile back at him.
    “ Is Melissa on her way?” Ettie asked
when she didn’t see her appear.
    “ No sorry, Melissa was swamped at work. I’m
sorry.”
    Ettie frowned.
    “ Your table is ready Mr. Gardner,” the
hostess said. “Right this way.”
    Roy placed his hand on Ettie’s shoulder guiding her to the
table.
    As they sat down, Ettie could tell that Roy was bursting with
excitement. To be honest, she was pretty excited herself, she was a
little disappointed that Melissa wasn't there.
    "But no matter Roy," she said. "I wanted to tell you
both at the same time... but I just wanted you to know that I have
decided yes I will be your surrogate."
    Roy's face broke into a brilliant smile.
    "Oh my god Henrietta, you have just made me so happy. Both of
us, Melissa and I, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. You have
no idea how grateful we are to you. We wanted a family for so long
and because of you, our dream is finally coming true.”
    Ettie laughed.
    "I am more than happy to do this. If you are this happy when the
baby's born
