Superfecundation twins. She’s finally looking into it.
Hope blooms. I’ve waited so long to breach this topic. Gio will be the harder sell, but I know Nyla will be for this.
“Do you really think it would work? It says the chances are one in thirteen thousand.”
“That’s because people don’t try to do it on purpose. Think about how often we have sex as a threesome. If we’re both actively trying to get you pregnant, the odds would be better. It would be intentional.”
“Or we could have the eggs implanted. You know, one from you and one from him.”
I know it’s a long shot to do it naturally, but I still get a little disappointed. I’ve always dreamed this would be how I finally get my family.
“Yeah, that’s an option.”
She moves closer and places her head on my arm. I shift to wrap my arm around her and kiss the top of her head.
“Whatever we do, he has to agree to it. That’s going to be harder than my body releasing two eggs at once and both of your sperm surviving the trip to them.”
I laugh. “That might be true.”
She turns her face up and looks at me. “But,” she draws the word out. “I want this. I’m going to at least try to get him to try. One way or the other.”
I don’t know if I should get excited. Even if Gio gets on board, she’s right. The odds are crap.
“Look, let me show you something,” she says handing me the ice cream and taking the laptop back. “There’s a drug that will cause me to release multiple eggs and it’s low risk. Here it’s called Clomiphene.”
Hope takes root again. She’s really been digging into this idea. She’s sold. All I have to do is plant the seed with Gio. My dream is right ahead of me.
But he doesn’t want children and he’s going to put an end to this.
The thought taunts me and tries to steal my wish. I won’t let it. Not after waiting all my life.
“That’s awesome. However, it’s not time to take this to him.”
“I know. It’s the worse time to ask him. I’m just getting the information together. He has until I’m thirty-five. That’s my decision. If this isn’t over by then. I’m going to explore my options.”
“Nyla,” I say warily. “We know this can still take time.”
“Yeah, that’s why I’m giving myself a time line. I love him, but this can’t be it. I want more than a hollow relationship. And he can’t use you as a placeholder.”
I look at her, feeling a little guilty. I have been filling in for Gio, where he can’t give Nyla what she needs, but that’s what our relationship is about. I thought she understood that.
“I see your thoughts. Yes, I like that you two are two parts of a whole, but sometimes you pull more than your weight. That’s not fair to any of us. Sometimes, I just need him. Who he’s supposed to be to me. You know?”
“Yeah, I get it. By the way, he’s not coming tonight.”
“I figured,” she mumbles.
“Why aren’t you with him?”
“He didn’t need me today.”
“Hm.”
“Come on. I’ll get the dominos and you owe me a pint of ice cream.”
She sticks her tongue out. “It was so good too. Don’t you know sharing is caring? You did a service to the community.”
“The community is greedy, and I want my ice cream.”
