“Thanks.” She tucked it into the pocket of her apron and made a face.
“Did it break or fall off or something?”
“Nope. He said he had spillage and it got on his hands, but I can’t take the risk. If it slipped while he was taking it off, then I need to protect myself just in case.” She looked over her shoulder to make sure Keshaun wasn’t listening in, but he was still out back in the kitchen. She could hear him talking to Cesar. “Meh, I better take this now before it gets busy, and I forget.” She pulled the bag back out and sighed with irritation.
“Do you think he’d try to baby trap you?” Nyx asked bluntly.
“No,” she made a face. “I think he was trying to reassure me and played it off like it was no big deal

The Surrogacy Secret Brother and Sister
Famke looked at Royal as he showed up at the coffee shop near the end of her shift with a very sleepy Precious and, surprisingly, her brother, Bram. When she had stopped by the apartment before her shift, he hadn’t been there. They still hadn’t talked, and she looked to him nervously. It was unlike them to fight.He ignored the line up of people who were waiting for their orders, rounded the counter and hugged her from behind. “I’m sorry, Famke.”She smiled over her shoulder. “Me too. Can we chat when I’m done here?”“Yes. I’ll be over there with the dynamic duo.”“Dynamic duo?”“It’s no damn wonder they have you out of your mind. Dude is smoother than the jazz his father listens to and she’s too cute for words.”She chuckled at Bram’s comment.“I want my mommy!” Precious yelled from the seat where Royal was trying to remove her boots.“Mommy is working, Precious and when she is done, she’ll come over, but you need to wait.” Royal explained with a tone to his voice.“He sounds like he

“Holy cow, Famke. My brother is going to pop his trousers when he sees you.” Jubi burst into the bedroom where she was getting ready for the gala.“This is nothing,” she waved down at the ivory-colored ball gown she had on. “Wait until you see Nyx.”Her best friend took this moment to come out of the bathroom and Jubi staggered backwards her eyes wide with disbelief. “What happened to all your tattoos? Your piercings? Your black make-up? You look, look,” Jubi tried to find a word and floundered.“Normal?” Nyx commented with a snicker. “I do know how to clean up.”“You look so different.” Jubi circled her while Famke watched in the mirror. “It’s kind of eerie. I don’t know if I like it. I mean you’re gorgeous, Nyx. A stunner for sure but it’s,” she made a face, “it’s weird.”“She doesn’t look at all li

Famke was awestruck as she looked around the ballroom. Whoever Royal had hired to do his decorating for the event had done wonderous things. The New Years party was in full swing as she entered on his arm with Jubi, Nyx and Jubi’s friend Nora trailing behind them.“This is insane,” Nyx snorted behind her. “You do know Royal what you spent on this party could feed multiple villages.”“You do know Nyx,” Royal shot over his shoulder with a glint in his eyes, “sometimes it takes spending money to get money. Look at all the suckers in this room ready to open their wallets. What I spent on tonight is a drop in the bucket for what the grand total will be.”Famke slapped his hand warningly, “behave. You two are awful.”“Mr. Robinson,” a woman with her hair pulled back in a severe knot at her nape approached. “Thank God you’re here.”“Patsy, this is Famke.

Famke giggled as Royal danced her in the direction of the exit to the ballroom.“You’re always dancing me away. When we left the nightclub last weekend, you danced me away too.”“Mm,” he nuzzled her neck, “it’s because if I don’t dance with you, I might start fucking you here and now.”She shivered at the way his tongue drew along the curve of her neck. “It’s not even midnight yet. We can’t leave.”“We’re not leaving. We’re going to my private rooms. It’s going to take me time to get ready for the explosive countdown.” He lifted his eyes and stared into hers. “It’s going to be fireworks.”If Famke ever doubted this man’s desire for her, they would have evaporated at the blatant lust on his face. She couldn’t look away from his heated stare, “okay. Let’s go.”“Famke!” Nyx hisse

Famke was sitting in a leather seat in the private jet Royal rented and fought the pounding of her headache. While the evening before, she’d had an amazing time at the Gala, this morning was a clusterfuck of epic proportions and she was desperately waiting for them to takeoff.However, Precious was sobbing pitifully in Imani’s arms outside the aircraft and Royal was trying to pry her out of them. Imani insisted on accompanying them to the airfield and she’d done nothing but badger Famke and Royal about moving away the entire time. Then if it wasn’t bad enough, she’d made a callous remark about not wanting them to leave on bad terms because ‘what happened if the plane crashed’ and now Precious was refusing to board.Famke was ready to scream with frustration as the screams of the child outside echoed up the steps. However, her very real desire to smack Imani in the face for her callous insensitivity was outweighing her ability t

Chapter 76Famke decided the only thing worse than taking off in a plane was landing in one. The groggy feeling, she from the medication was not helping the situation either. She stumbled down the metal stairs, only vaguely aware of the difference in temperature.“Miss Noor, the car is this way,” a polite man about Bram’s age waved her. “Come, come.”“Mommy, wait for us!” Precious screeched as she bounded down the stairs. After her nap on the plane, she’d woken exuberant and full of life and forgetting her earlier terror.She half turned and held her hand out and Royal took it and kissed her knuckles.“You look like you need another nap,” he chuckled at her.“Royal, there better be a hammock where I can lay and listen to the surf.”“I promise you will love this place.”“Can we play on the beach?” Precious asked as she bounced in Roya

Royal sat with on the edge of the bed as Famke finished reading a bedtime story to a very sleepy yet contented Precious. He’d noticed since they’d gotten on the plane, Famke had not been quite herself and while the lazy man in him wanted to simply chalk it up to biology, he knew something was up. He suspected his mother’s behavior in the morning was the culprit. He was bracing himself for yet another hard conversation.However, as he watched her tending to the child, they were going to raise together he couldn’t help the swelling in his heart. She was an incredible mother. She was natural and intuitive and fiercer than any mama bear he’d ever encountered. She would gladly sacrifice everything of herself if it meant this child received what she needed.As she sat brushing the hair off the forehead of the child who was now asleep, he was wondering why she was stalling in leaving the room.“What’s up, Famke?”“Is she safe in here all alone?” she questioned quietly not even glancing in hi

Famke woke up on the morning of the last full day of their vacation feeling decidedly torn. The past six days had been quite possibly the best of her life. Other than the day Bram got to ring his bell in the cancer ward of the children’s hospital, the time spent with Precious and Royal was a remarkably close second. She was missing her brother though, never having been away from him and she wanted to go home and see him. Yet, she also didn’t want to leave this little bit of paradise and the way it felt to be the happy little family she felt they were.The only thing which would have made the week better would have been more sexy time with Royal but though her period ended after its usual three-day visit, they hadn’t made love even once. The sunshine and the fresh air combined with a very energetic little girl wore her out. On the fourth and fifth night she’d fallen into bed and since Royal hadn’t even tried anything with her, she presumed he was as exhausted as she was. It was as if P

The Surrogacy Secret Happily Ever Afters
“Happy birthday, Famke,” Nyx shoved a box across the table.Famke opened the package and took to laughing. “No way.”“Is that my face?” Royal asked his eyebrows meeting in the middle.“Remember when you went to the doctor, and you were complaining how the mood swings aren’t getting better despite the medication adjustments and sometimes you wanted to punch Royal in the face for breathing loudly? Now you can.” Nyx was proud of herself as Famke showed off the children’s version of a stand-up punching bag, she’d specially ordered with Royal’s face on it.Royal took the box from her and grinned, “it’s saying something about my ego isn’t it, when I’m proud of the fact I’ve been made into a toy?” The table laughed at his comment. “You don’t need this, baby girl. We can duke it out anytime you like. Wrestling would be preferred.” His inuendo wasn’t missed by a single adult at the table and he rubbed his shin as the toe of her shoe connected with it. “Or keep the punching bag.”“Mine next,” C
The Surrogacy Secret Blast From The Past
“Precious, come on, let’s go!” Royal bellowed up the stairs looking for any sign of the child.“Just a minute!” she screeched back.“Mommy is going to ring my neck if we’re late.” He looked up and groaned his heart in his throat as she climbed a leg over the banister and slid down the rail with a loud cackle, her Disney princess underwear flashing him the entire way down. He caught her before she hit the knob at the bottom and swung her squealing into the air. “You’re going to give me a heart attack.”She clutched his neck, squeezing it tightly. “Throw me again, Daddy.”Ever since he told her he’d gotten approved to adopt her, Uncle Royal no longer existed. It had been two months since he and Famke gained sole custody of her, and he was thrilled. He was Daddy all the time. His brother was probably rolling in his grave, and it made it even sweeter. He threw her up in the ai
The Surrogacy Secret Trial - 3
“So what?”“Those apron strings were hard to cut. You were angry when he married Mindy against your recommendations. Yet when he and his wife went through problems, he cried on your shoulder an awful lot, didn’t he.”“Yes. There’s nothing wrong with relying on your family.”“How many times did you say, ‘I told you so’ and make him feel badly for not following your advice?” He paused, “you would give him advice, correct?”“Yes, as any good mother would.” She partially answered the question.“Did you encourage him to take Mindy to Pittsburgh and source out a blonde, white woman to scam similar in size and posture to Mindy and steal their child from her?”“Objection!” the lawyer for Imani was on his feet and the judge agreed.The lawyer waved it off, “When did Prince tell you Mindy lied about being pregnant?&rdquo
The Surrogacy Secret Trial-2
Famke took her seat back next to Royal shaking with unbridled rage. The next several witnesses were the doctors and nurses and even the cop who once looked for Prince as a favor to his nurse wife on behalf of Famke. Yet she couldn’t stop the fury in her belly. Being accused of fooling around with a married man wasn’t sitting well with her. By the time the court recessed, she was a quivering mess. Royal pulled her to a quiet corner of the lobby and cupped her cheeks. “Breathe, baby girl.” “How fucking dare, he outright suggest, I was screwing around with Prince? Your mother put this nonsense into everyone’s head and it’s insulting.” “Yes, she did. We knew this shit was going to be thrown out there though. I know it hurts your feelings and your pride but they’re grasping at straws. They need to prove Mom wasn’t part of the kidnapping and they’ll fight dirty. I love you,” he didn’t look away from her. “No matter what the outcome in there is today, I love you.” “I love you too.” She
The Surrogacy Secret Trial-1
Famke sat with Royal behind the prosecutions side of the courtroom and bounced her foot nervously. Imani’s sister Amari was sitting across the aisle from them glowering at them.Cliff and Jubilee were sitting with Denny and Mary, Cliff’s parents on the other side of her and Royal and Cliff’s spine was straighter than steel.Famke was called to the stand as the first witness for the prosecution. After going through the spiel about telling the truth and reminding her she was under oath, the lawyer smiled gently.“Ms. Noor, can you tell me how it was you were first introduced to Mindy and Prince Robinson?”“Yes.” She cleared her throat. “My brother was at the Saint Mary’s hospital, in the specialized children’s ward undergoing cancer treatments ahead of a surgery. They were trying to reduce the size of his tumor with radiation and chemotherapy ahead of the surgery. I spent a lot of my time at the ho
The Surrogacy Secret A Day In Court
A month later they were sitting in front of a judge in a barely comfortable room after the room was called into session. The judge smiled at Famke, Royal and then nodded at Imani. Their lawyers sat beside them, but the rest of the room was empty per the judge’s order. The entire process had been rushed given Imani’s upcoming criminal case and her lawyers wanted it settled before her trial.“I had a lovely conversation with Precious.” Judge Ringer began. “She is a lovely little girl.”“Thank you,” Famke smiled nervously as Royal rubbed her shoulder softly.“She adores you,” the woman looked to Famke directly. “We shared a good conversation about boundaries today. I don’t know many five and half year olds who know the word boundary, let alone have a clear understanding of what it means.”“Therapy,” Famke couldn’t fight the smile on her face. “We’ve un
The Surrogacy Secret You Reap What You Sow
Famke and Royal were sitting in the dining room of Black Magic after their visit to the lawyer’s office, facing Jubi and Cliff. Royal gripped his ever-present refillable tumbler, filled full of his favorite coffee Keshaun poured for him and he was clutching it like a lifeline.Famke’s heart ached for the three people at this table. They were flipping through the scrapbook after Royal pointed out what the lawyer noticed when she was looking through the photographs in the book. Neither Jubilee nor Cliff spoke for quite some time and Famke knew they were trying to process their emotions.Cliff’s phone rang and he looked at it and then declined the call.“Mom?” Jubi asked softly.“Yes. She hid this from me.” He said his voice cracking. “She knew all this time. It meant she even lied when we talked to her the other day, and she said she knew at Thanksgiving. She knew long before then.”“I belie
The Surrogacy Secret Scrapbooking
Famke sat with Royal in the lawyer’s office feeling dumbfounded. “You’re telling us she has a chance?”“Not a good one,” the lawyer sighed. “Pennsylvania has law which supports rights for visitation for grandparents.”“Even if they’re unfit?” Royal asked, clearly as perplexed as Famke.“Can you prove she’s unfit?”He rubbed his forehead. “Her husband of forty years just left her because she’s off her rocker.”“He left her because she’s unfit?”“He left her because she’s tearing her family apart with this bullshit,” Royal countered, frustration marring his face. “I thought this would be a slam dunk. Famke is her biological mother. I was appointed her legal guardian when Prince died.”“Yet,” the lawyer waived to the papers she was served, “Famke, you said you never intended to be
The Surrogacy Secret The Last Straw
Famke paced while Royal was furiously staring at his mother’s face on the video call.“You’re suing us for custody?”“Yes. Famke doesn’t want her. She never intended to be her mother. You have banned me from seeing or talking to Precious. I have rights as a grandparent.”“As a grandparent. You forget, I was named legal guardian of Precious in Prince’s will.”“Yes, but it’s invalid because her biological mother is alive which means the legal guardianship is moot. My lawyer checked. Precious’s original birth certificate was registered at the hospital she was born. It lists her as the mother and him as the father. Your claim to Precious doesn’t mean anything since Famke is the listed parent and she’s alive and never gave up parental rights.”“Imani,” Cliff moved to stand behind Royal at the desk in the office. “You are tearing your family apart. Why? You are willing to go to such extremes to get your own way at the risk of losing Royal and Jubi? Me?”“There was a time this family stuck t
