Who: Brooke and Jeremy What: A serious discussion When: Backdated to last Tuesday Where: Their room Rating: Low Status: Closed
Brooke bit her lip as she looked over at Jeremy. He was playing something on his iPad. She wasn't sure how to bring this up. But the more she read about it the more she liked the idea and she had to know if he'd be cool with it.
She reached out to touch his arm. "Sweetie, can I talk to you about something?"
--
Jeremy looked up at Brooke after he’d killed the monster he was fighting. “Yes! Die! Die! Die!” he said.
He set the iPad down. “Sure, what’s up?”
--
She moved closer. "I've had ... A kinda crazy idea. So I was talking to Grantaire when I went to see cosette and the baby. And like - he's so good with kids. And he really wants them, but has kinda assumed it won't happen. Even though they talked about adopting they can't do that here. And waiting until we get to leave..." She shook her head. "I don't know if that's going to happen. So ... I've been wondering if I should offer to be a surrogate for them. I don't know. It's a huge thing to do and I don't know if I could yet. So I kinda just... Want your input. Before I talk to them."
--
Jeremy smiled. “Yeah. Sounds like a really wet idea. I mean like…. if you can give people who can’t have a baby themselves the chance to have one…. it seems like it’s a great idea.”
--
Brooke nodded. "That's what I'm thinking. But... It's huge. And like ... There's us too. I mean I want to have your babies some day." She grinned. "And like. I don't know. Should I wait until after that to offer?"
--
“We’ll have babies. Lots of babies. But like… they’re older than we are so maybe it should be first,” he said.
--
She shook her head. "Yeah this isn't - if you're not ready for babies right now I totally get that and this isn't me trying to like push you."
--
Jeremy nodded his head. “Yeah, maybe like… not just yet. And we need to get married first. too.”
--
Brooke grinned. "Ideally. But that's fine. The babies don't have to be right away. So ... Maybe. Like maybe I'll do it soon. If they want that. And if I can actually do it." She bit her lip.
"It's like... Such a big thing. But it would be so cool if I could do it. He'd be so good as a dad. And Enjolras too."
--
“Yeah. Totally. I mean like… you could give them a baby them couldn’t have otherwise. You’d be like even more wet than you are now. You’d be the wettest ever.”
--
Brooke smiled. "I guess. But... I'd be pregnant. I'd be hormonal and getting huge and it would be really intense. That would be bad enough if it was your baby. Would you be okay with that?"
--
Jeremy shrugged. “Yeah. I mean… It would totally worth all of that to like… give them the chance to have a family. Like it will be even more totally worth it when it’s our baby.”
--
Brooke smiled. "Yeah. I'll ... Think about it some more. I don't want to offer unless I'm sure I can do it, you know?"
She hugged him. "Thanks for being so awesomely supportive."
--
“Yeah, I totally understand,” he said.
He hugged her back. “Hard not to be when you’re being awesomely wet.”
--
She smiled, then kissed his cheek. "It's like you said. If I can help... I'd really like to."
"The baby would probably be like biologically mine. Which I think would be okay. Like. It won't be my baby. It'd be their baby with just some of my genes."
--
“And then soon after that we can make a baby that’s ours,” he said. “And it’ll be the most awesome baby ever.”
--
Brooke smiled. "It so will be." She kissed his cheek. "Yeah. I'll think about it more."
