Imagine agreeing to be a surrogate for your sister, only to find out that she wants you to conceive the baby in a way you never expected. That’s the situation our protagonist, let’s call her Jane, finds herself in. Her sister Alice has always wanted kids but has been unable to carry a baby to full term due to endometriosis. Alice and her husband Ben have adopted and fostered children, but now they want a biological child and asked Jane to be their surrogate. Jane agreed, expecting artificial insemination, but was shocked when they requested she get pregnant the traditional way.

Her family doesn’t see anything wrong with it and has congratulated Alice on her impending baby. On the other hand, Jane can’t get over the ick factor and wonders if she’s crazy for potentially passing up a life-changing sum of money.
