              “What the hell?” he was holding up his phone. She held up hers. He turned pale.

              “Dad says to bring you home with me, we need to talk,” she said. He gestured at his phone and nodded the same.

              They were dejected as they packed up and neatened the place up before leaving. They were hesitant but knew they had no choice. They held hands for most of the drive back. Reassuring themselves there was nothing that could split them up. They pulled into her Dad's driveway and looked at each other.

              “Ready, we don't know for sure they know, but if they do we stay strong. Right Violet?” she nodded determined. They got out and walked up the drive. They did not walk side by side but as if nothing was wrong. The last several months had made them good at that. They went in and both parents were waiting in the living room. Her Dad gestured them to a seat. They both looked mad.

              “Well, well, well...” her Dad began. She knew that was not a good sign. Mike did too, since he worked for the man.

              “I really can't believe you Mike, I really can't,” Marcie said. Violet's hope was dwindling. They both just stared at them for several of the most uncomfortable seconds Violet had ever felt. Then she noticed her dad’s shoulders beginning to shake. Then Marcie lips twitched and soon they both started laughing. Violet looked at Mike bemused.

              “I am sorry I can't do it. If you two don't take the cake!” Marcia said laughing. Violet's Dad agreed.

              “I can't believe Mike that you would take a part of your break to work on a wedding gift for us. After as hard as you worked this season. You almost got us to the play offs. Further than we have been in years. Yet you still will work with Violet to do this,” he was shaking his head, walked over to Mike and shook his hand. Marcie came over to Violet.

              “Thank you dear. I know the time you spend on your studies. Being willing to fix up the old cabin for us is..  thank you!” She exclaimed and broke into tears of happiness. She engulfed Violet in a hug and over her Marcie's shoulder she could see Mike was being hugged by her Dad. He mouthed silently to her.
I am going to kill Jack and Janey!

             
They managed to keep their composure and go along with it. They had breakfast with them and talked about renovating ideas. Violet did like the idea and through talking with Marcie gained an understanding of what she would like to make it her own and not her sister’s old place. She figured between her and Mike they should be able to do a good job on the place. Of course than meant that her and Mike would have to find another hideaway. When Violet and Mike left they breathed a sigh of relief, they had survived this time!

Book 1: The Bear Prince

Oliver drove through the streets that afternoon with a lot weighing on his mind, he had finally had the much dreaded conversation with his father and he knew he was right. He stared at the ring on his middle finger once he was stuck in traffic and thought of what it represented. He was the one true heir to the throne which came with a lot of pressure. Other than making daily decisions about what was best for the clan and settling disputes, Oliver also had other requirements expected from him. Leading a clan of people was one thing but leading a clan of bears was another. He did not want to date any other women from the clan and this was more than enough pressure on him. Given that he was now at the ripe age of 35, Oliver was expected to find a mate who would continue with their family lineage. According to their tradition, he would not be able to succeed the king without fulfilling this requirement.

He could feel the bear part of him crave for raw fish but his human side wanted a big spicy beef burger. He decided to ignore the beast in him and lean towards the humane part.

He drove through the streets and found himself staring at different women and wondering whether they would be the perfect Queen. A slight chuckle escaped his throat when he thought of what his father would say about his choice of criteria in choosing the future Queen. Oliver decided to get a burger from one of his favorite joints and proceeded to drive towards it. He parked in the parking lot and stepped out of the car. The place was not crowded that day and he was guaranteed of quick service. He walked up to the counter and approached a young beautiful lady who stood behind it and fed him a plastic smile.

“Good evening”, he said as he looked up at the menu “I would like number four please”

“That would be $4.99’

He went through his pockets and pulled out a few crisp dollar bills before handing them to the girl. His order was ready in a minute and the whiff of beef and fries from the bags he had just been handed played on his nostrils. He walked out of the building and went straight to his car and was just about to get into the driver’s seat but something caught the corner of his eye.

He slowly made his way to the building that was opposite the burger joint and wondered why he had never noticed it before. He walked through the doors of the place with his burger still in hand and went straight for the reception.

“Hello”, he said to the young receptionist who looked bored and had big spectacles on her which Oliver doubted were meant for improving het eyesight.

“Hello”, she answered flatly.

“I noticed the kind of services you offer and I am very much interested in them. Would you care to give me more details?”

The girl looked disinterested and reached down in one of her drawers. She pulled out a few brochures and placed them right in front of him.

“We offer the following services”, she started “Pregnancy tests, abortions, surrogacy, adoption, OBGYN visits, delivery and infant clinics”

“You do all that here?” Oliver asked curiously as he took one look at the size of the place and wondered if it had all the facilities it claimed to have.

“Yes we do”, she answered.

Oliver looked at the brochures he had just been handed and took one in his hand. He said a polite thank you before walking out of the clinic and heading over to his car. He had now lost his appetite and placed the burger on his backseat. An idea had just crept up on him which he knew would solve all his problems. The answer was staring right back at him, he only needed to get a surrogate of his choice who would carry his baby and future king to the throne.

There were plenty of ups and downs in this plan, he did not know if his father would approve of it and there was always the fact that his baby would grow up not knowing who his mother was. However, it would save him the trouble of having to explain to the surrogate their little secret, a risk he was more than willing to take.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed a number that was on his speed dial. He listened to it ring and someone picked it up.

“Hello”, a deep voice sounded on the receiving end but it was not who he was looking for.

“Hello Robert, is father around?”

“He is taking his nap sir”, came the reply.

A quick look at his wrist watch reminded Oliver of his father’s daily power nap at around that time where he gave the butler his phone to answer.

“Would you please tell him I want to see him when he wakes up, it is quiet urgent”

“I will relay the message”

The hunger pangs in his stomach seemed to have been awoken with all the excitement and Oliver got back to driving around the streets heading nowhere in particular. He spotted a playground from a distance that was littered with kids all around and decided to have his burger there. He walked towards a lonely bench that had a woman seated on it looking lost.

“Mind if I join you?” he asked politely.

“I do not mind at all”

Oliver took the seat and looked straight ahead at the children playing and thought of the plan he had in place. He would soon enough have a son too and the thought of playing with him on the playground crossed his mind a few times. He took out his burger and looked at the woman seated next to him.

“Care for some?”

“Don’t mind if I do”, she said and moved closer to him. She took a big bite off it and went on to sip his coke before handing them back to him.

Oliver had expected her to decline the offer but her daring side made him let out a wide smile.

“I am Oliver by the way”

“Michelle”

“Nice to meet you” Oliver answered and took a sip of his soda “Is your kid here with you today?”

“No, I am watching over my boss’s kids”, she answered.

“So you are a nanny?”

“Yap”, Michelle agreed “I have been for some time now”

“How long, if you do not mind me asking?”

“About five years”

Oliver leaned on the bench and went on to look at the kids on the playground as he devoured his burger. A thought then crept up on him and he looked at Michelle curiously before asking his question.

“Can I ask you something Michelle?”

“Yes please”

“Have you ever been a surrogate?”

“No I have never”, Michelle answered and the look of confusion could not be missed from her face “Why do you ask?”

“I am looking for one”

“If that is the criteria you are going to use my friend”, Michelle started as she shook her head in clear disapproval “You are in for a rude shock”

“What criteria?”

“Picking up a surrogate from a bench park in a playground”, Michelle answered “No offense but there is no difference in you picking up a whore from a street corner”

“I beg to differ, there is a huge difference”

Michelle let out a sarcastic chuckle before turning in Oliver’s direction and looking at him curiously.

“Ok, humor me”, she said “Suppose I agree to this proposal, what is going to come next?”

“We will first set a date and time for a meeting where you will come over and meet my father”

“Father?”

“Yes father”, Oliver answered.

“So you are not married?”

“No”, he said “I am single as God knows what”

“I just assumed you and your  wife have been having trouble conceiving, this has now taken a whole different turn”, she  turned to her side and gave Oliver her full attention before going on “So why would a single man hire the services of a surrogate?”

“I simply want what I have been looking for quite some time”

“Which is?”

“A family”

“But you will now have a family without the wife”, Michelle pointed out.

“Isn’t that a better deal?”

“Depending on how you look at it”

“This is the funniest thing I have ever had”, she let out “So how much are you going to pay the surrogate”

“Why would you want to know? Are you interested in the position?”

“Say that I am how much will you pay me?”

“There is a lot to consider”, Oliver answered as he looked at Michelle and went on “For starters I will need you to quit your current job and will compensate you for the income you would have earned if you were normally at work”

“So you would not want me to go to work?”

“No working”

“Ok, go on”

“I will also take care of all your medical bills, offer you accommodation, food and all the medication you will need during the pregnancy”

“So you will basically walk into my life and take control of it?”

“More or less”, Oliver answered “And on top of all that, I will give you a bonus for the long tired days and make sure you have a stress free life.

Michelle was lost in thought for a second more as she thought of what Oliver had just told her.

“What about the sex?”

“Excuse me?”

Michelle looked at Oliver with a shy smile and went on “You know how pregnant women are always horny? How are you going to take care of that?”

“We will simply have to take advantage of modern technology then”

“A dildo?”

“Among other things”, Oliver pointed out “Come on it will only be for 9 months”

“That is like two decades in sex years”, Michelle answered.

“Which brings me to my next question”, Oliver said and looked straight into Michelle’s eyes before asking his next question “Do you have a boyfriend, do not take any offence in this but I will not want you having sex with someone else while carrying my baby”

“So would you rather I have sex with you?”

“I wouldn’t mind”, Oliver said so casually that it made Michelle burst out into uncontrollable laughter “Don’t get me wrong, I will not pressure you into anything”

“You are just too funny”, Michelle answered.

“But you still haven’t answered my question”

“No, I have no boyfriend. I am as single as sin”

Oliver let out a hearty laughter and could not remember when the last time he had laughed that much in one day was. People around him always submitted to him and their friendship would have strings attached. Michelle however felt like a breath of fresh air.

“So what do you think about my proposal?”

“It in a very interesting one”, Michelle answered “But do tell me one thing, do you do this often?”

“Do what often?”

“Do you approach good looking women on bench parks and make this kind of proposal?”

“No, I don’t”, Oliver answered “It was actually an impulsive offer”

“So you want to tell me you have just thought about the offer after seeing me?”

“You could say that”

“You have made my day”, Michelle let out yet another hearty laughter and went on to stare at him. He got to his feet and looked down at her before taking out a business card from his wallet that was safely tucked in his back pocket.

“Please let me know what you think?”

“What if I have made up my mind already?”

“I would give you more time to think about it”, Oliver replied.

Michelle stretched her hand and took the card from him and read through it before looking up at him.

“I will think about it”

“My cell phone number is right there, I am reachable any time of the day or night”

“I think I would rather call you in the night”, Michelle answered “From the many titles visible on this card I can tell you are hardly available in the day”.

“You might be right”, he answered “I have to go”

Oliver said and looked at his wrist watch, “I hope I will hear from you soon”

“You will”

“Good bye Michelle, it was nice knowing you”, Oliver said and slowly walked away from her but looked over his shoulder once and offered her a smile.

Michelle watched him walk away and threw a glance on the business card, her mind replayed the conversation they had just had and she could not believe what he had just offered. There was something about him that however made her feel scared and unsettled. She had noticed a color shade in his eyes that didn’t look human. It had however changed every time he laughed at her jokes and would go back to its usual color whenever he regained a straight face.

Michelle looked at his business card again before looking at the now lonely road that he had disappeared to. She smiled for the hundredth time that day as her mind thought of all the pending bills and student loans that would be taken care of if she agreed to his proposal.

“Put a baby in me Mr. Oliver”, she said to herself “Baby carrier on the way”

Michelle sat in the hospital room and took in her surroundings. She could not remember when the last time she had visited a gynecologist was. She hated hospitals and the strong disinfectant clinical stench that was heavy in the air made her nauseous. A text message made her phone vibrate and she looked down on it and smiled.
