Diana's P.O.V

I honestly couldn't stand it anymore. Nothing had been the same when I found out I couldn't conceive another child after my abortion a couple of years back. It made me dread life completely.

I was tired, tired of the way people looked at me with sympathy filled in their eyes.

I needed to find a way to have children. I was desperate and was afraid Ethan was going to leave me for someone more young, beautiful, and someone who can give him children.

I love him more than myself so I will not allow some woman to snatch him from me. I was tired of trying everything.

The only people who knew about my condition were Ethan and my mother and I wanted it to stay that way.

Today before Ethan got back, I was going to see a doctor that my mother suggested. She ranted for hours on the miracles this doctor made. So, after careful consideration, I hopped in my car, buckled my seat belt, and started the engine with high hopes of a miracle.

"I'm so sorry Mrs. Scott there's no possible way. You can't reproduce." Dr. Kirby looked at me with sympathy washing over her eyes but I didn't want sympathy I wanted a baby, a biological baby. Was that so hard. Was it an impossible task to ask for?

"I need something new. I need you to tell me I can reproduce. I need you to tell me that one day I can put my baby in my arms and rock him to sleep, " I demanded, trying to hold back my tears. I couldn't stand it anymore. Every time it was the same result, not a one-word difference.

"There's got to be some other way, " I whispered, staring at the doctor.

"There's always adoption," She announced. "A surrogate mother."

Once I heard surrogate something in me lit up from happiness. I didn't even know why this had not occurred to me before.

"So, I can have a biological child just I can't get pregnant, "I explained, with happiness overcoming every inch of my body.

"Exactly. "She beamed and I was almost going to dance in her office but stopped myself because I knew I was going to appear as a lune.

"Thank you," I told her, happily.

I left the doctor's office and went to a store not too far from the hospital. It was called Little Ones a place that sells baby clothes.

Once I laid eyes on the baby clothes. I couldn't choose.

There were so many cute outfits. I wanted to buy the whole store.

I saw a cute yellow onesie that said My mommy is my idol and I just had to grab it along with twenty others. I grabbed three pairs of shoes along with an ocean baby soother.

I could not believe that after all these years I was going to have a baby.

Once I exited my car Ethan's mother was eyeing me strangely. There was something about Angelina that that gave me the creeps I just didn't know until then.

"I need to talk to you, "she said furrowing her eyebrows.

"What about? "I questioned, her glare meeting my gaze.

But she did not say a word she just walked and I followed her into her room upstairs. She locked the door two times then turned to face me.

"Why didn't you tell me," She asked while folding her arms.

"Tell you what exactly?" I asked, confusion crossing my face as I still tried to maintain a smile.

"That you cannot have children. "She replied ever so blandly, her dark brown eyes meeting mine.

" How the hell did you know about that?" I hissed with anger overcoming me.

I didn't want anybody else on this earth to know especially Angelina. She tends to have a big mouth when it comes to these situations.

"Did you really think you can hide this from me?" She growled, and my temper was on the verge of exploding.

Right then something hit me. It was a great moment to sneak in. The reason is being Ethan listens to his mother even though her ideas can be quite absurd. He loves her and hates to upset her. I needed to convince her some way.

" I have a way." I blurted, my eyes roaming from one direction to the next.

"What?" She looked at me in confusion.

"A surrogate mother, it's the only way.” I grasped her hand to make it seem more persuading.

"Diana... I don't know.” She said as she observed me closely.

" I've been trying for years now and......it......it hasn't worked but this will work I'm sure of it. All we need to do is convince Ethan." I begged, desperately. I needed this. This was the only way.

"I will but you know Ethan he can be stubborn at times so don't get your hopes too high." She replied, grinning.

"Oh, thank you, Angelina. Thank you." I said, hugging her.

"I'm doing this so the Scott bloodline can continue." She replied laughing and I chuckled holding back my tears.

I walked into our room to find Ethan's suit jacket placed on the bed.

"Ethan, are you here baby?" I questioned, to make sure.

"Yeah, I'm in the bathroom. "He replied, wrapping a towel around his pelvis and my mouth nearly dropped at the sight of his mouth-watering abs.

I could never get tired of it all of it. He was handsome. Thirty-one and he still managed to look as hot as the first time we met. I wrapped my hands around his neck and leaned in for a kiss that got deeper by the second, he then moved his lips from mine and began to trail kisses down my neck.

But no matter how damn tempting his body was I had to stand back.

"I need to talk to you." I took a few steps away from him as he smirked.

Ethan's P.O.V

"You can't be serious Diana? "I asked looking into her teary bright blue eyes as I quickly placed my suit jacket on.

"I am. I really am, "she said her tears beginning to fall into her cheeks. "I want a baby Ethan."

I took a deep breath and took her small hands into mine. "There's too much mess involved in the process of having a baby through a surrogate mother and I'm not willing to demolish a marriage we spent years working on. I'm happy the way we are. "I said placing my hand on her cheek and then quickly walked out of our room only to find my mom glaring back at me.

"What do you want mother? "I asked in a sort of bored tone.

"For you to produce an heir," she said folding her arms over her chest.

I rolled my eyes." Oh, so you're in on this, "I chuckled sarcastically as she nodded. "I'm even more against the whole idea, now."

"Ethan, Diana is 30 if she doesn't have a baby now later on when you need an heir the most, she won't be able to even provide you with her egg which will result in you having a baby with another woman and that will make your marriage even shakier then it is now. "I huffed a deep breath while taking in what she just said.

She is right eventually I will need an heir.

I had a gut feeling this isn't going to go as planned yet I still went with the plan.

"Fine," I yelled. "But Diana I don't want any jealously at all even if the media pulls some story out of their asses."

My mother smiled like a Cheshire Cat." I will find a suitable girl."
