 Wednesday, 24th March, 2010Dominic had been away for a week’s touring and promotion of his new album which had been released the week previous and had reached number one with record sales. Dominic didn’t know if it was the week of touring and promotion which had done it for him or if people genuinely liked his music and had bought the album making it rocket to the number one spot. He found he didn’t really care how it had happened he was just glad that people liked his music enough to buy the album and get it to the number one spot anyway. He had missed Sam terribly while he was gone and he knew that Sam had been feeling the same way because of the constant texts and voicemail messages and many, many conversations they had had together, not to forget the few video calls they had also shared once Sam had bought the new phone Dominic had given him the money to get. To be fair though it wasn’t as if they hadn’t seen each other for the full week because as Dom had suggested to Sam before he left that he could easily fly home every other night, he flew home physically to be with Sam on the Monday and Thursday nights before he was home for good again for a while on the Sunday. The soon as Dom was back he had spoken to Sam about approaching his mom with the idea that she had told him about a year or so ago about carrying a child for Dominic using a donated egg fertilised with his sperm. He had also had two sessions with David over his rape ordeal on the Monday and Tuesday and so far he was feeling much better about things. He felt like he could finally put what happened to him in the past and that it would hopefully stay there. David had suggested the first thing they sort out was the memories because of the way he had acted with Sam that day. David had told him that he was doing really well after two double sessions which meant he had spoken to David about his situation for four hours over two days. He had then suggested that their next session he could help Dom in ways of being able to tell his family because if he could tell his family then he could finally move on from it and Dom agreed. But today he and Sam were going to visit Dom’s mom to talk to her about it and although this would be the first time that Sam would meet Dom’s mom Francesca he knew that his mom would make Sam feel welcome from the minute he stepped in the door. Dom soon arrived at his parent’s house and stepped out the car and when Sam had followed he flipped the button to lock the car and put the alarm on and then made a grab for Sam’s hand and quickly led him to the door of his mom’s rather big house, although not quite as big as Dom’s. Before he even used his key that his mom insisted he kept he turned to Sam with a warm smile on his face, “Mom and dad will love you because I love you, they’ll see that and they’ll be happy for me and welcome you, I just know they will my darling.” Dom said and then gave Sam a quick, soft but also lingering kiss. He then gently moved away from the kiss and opened the door. Once inside and had the door closed again once Sam was in he gave a general shout out. “Hey mom, we’re here.” He turned to Sam with a grin, “I’ll give her five seconds and she’ll be out greeting you in five, four...” But he barely got four out when his mom appeared in front of them, very Italian looking but very American dressed. “Dominic my darling, it’s so good to see you again.” She said as she then wrapped her son in her arms and kissed him on both cheeks and then stood back admiring him for a few seconds, “Stunning as always my child.” She then clocked Sam and grinned, “And this must be Sam who we have heard so much about, Dominic wasn’t joking when he said you were very handsome.” Francesca said and then wrapped Sam in her arms giving him a huge hug and kissed him on both cheeks also. “It’s lovely to meet you my darling and may I take this opportunity to welcome you to our family.” She then began to lead the way into the lounge room and then turned to make sure they were both following, “Well come on then, in you come; right now it’s only me here.” Once they were all inside the lounge room and Dom had sat down and motioned for Sam to do the same thing beside him Francesca began to fuss around them slightly, “So can I get you anything to eat or drink?” She asked them both and Dom sighed knowing she wouldn’t take no for an answer, it was the Italian in her. “I’m not hungry just now mom, but a glass of lemonade would be good thanks, especially if it’s your homemade one.” Francesca grinned, “It always is my darling.” Once she got a reply from Sam she made her way into the kitchen and was soon back out with a tray which she placed on the coffee table and then she sat down on one of the other two seater sofas. Dom wondered if he should just go right into what they wanted to talk about or leave it, but figured now as good a time as any. He took some sips of his drink and then placed it back on the tray and absentmindedly took Sam’s hand in his own and began to caress the back of it with his thumb and then he looked at his mom. “You know you spoke to me a while ago saying that if I wanted a child of my own there was a way?” He asked her reminding her of the conversation and Francesca nodded her head, “Of course I do my darling, why are you interested now?” She asked as she glanced from Dom to Sam. Dom nodded his head, “Yeah, Sam and I have spoken about it and well we wondered if you were still for it and if you were would you mind if we saw about it today?” Dom asked and then bit down on his bottom lip knowing that it was a big ask, but then his mom had offered in the first place. Before he knew what was happening his mom had gotten up from her own seat and was enveloping the both of them in a warm hug, “I would love to do that for you my darlings.” She then leaned out of the hug and began to giggle a little, at least Sam would know where Dom got his giggle from now, “Sorry boys, I’m just very excited about this, so what are we waiting for?” She said as she left the two of them to get her jacket and was soon back in the lounge room, “Well come on then, let’s go.” Dom giggled again and then leant into Sam’s ear, “I told you she’d love you.” Then in a louder voice he said, “I’ve got my car mom so we can go to the clinic in mine.” Dom then led the way to his car and once everyone was inside he started up the engine and headed toward the fertility clinic his mom had mentioned when she had first spoken to Dom about the idea. |

Sam was still very happy in his relationship with one Dominic Salvatore. Though the week that they had been apart had been one long week for Sam, even with all the talking back and forth, and the texting, and all of it. It had been great to have Dom in his arms those two nights that he had come to visit him. But still he was counting the hours and minutes till his lover would officially come back. During the week he had heard that Dom's album had been going well, and Sam was quite proud of that. Though he knew deep down that he would have done well regardless.
Sam was also proud of Dom seeing David about the situation he had been in with his last partner. He had been trying to be a bit more gentle with Dom, despite all the heated times they got into making love. And Sam would always make sure that his lover was doing okay as well, and if he saw that he was doing something a bit forceful, then he would change it so that it was more pleasent and enjoyable for both of them.
So today was Wednesday, and Sam was going with Dom to meet his parents for the first time. He was a bit nervous, despite Dom telling him about his parents, and how they were about everything. Sam sometimes wished his parents were so support about his sexuality, but he knew that it would probably never change sadly. On the ride to the house, Sam was absentmindedly biting his nails, due to the nerves setting in, just one of his many things that he did. They were soon at the house, and Sam felt his heart race a little, but knowing that Dom was there, who loved him just as much as Sam loved him, he knew he had nothing to really worry about. Sam was soon out of the car, and headed up to the house with Dom, who grabbed his hand in his own.
Sam eyed off the house, which looked rather big from the outside, and took in a quiet deep breath, moving a hand to his mouth, just nibbling at a nail. They were soon at the door, and Dom soon spoke, after unlocking the door with his key. Sam turned, just looking with not much of an expression on his face. Sam nodded a little, and soon felt Dom's lips on his own. He murmured a little, then when they parted, he gave Dom a weak smile, hoping he was right. Sam stepped inside, after Dom, and then watched him shut the door behind them. Dom then called out to his mum, and once again, Sam looked around a little, taking in a deep breath, just wanting the meet and greet to be over with, and then they could all just talk as normal.
Dom had turned to Sam with a grin, commenting that he was going to give her five seconds. All Sam could do was nod, and listened to Dom count from five, only reaching four when a woman's voice was heard. He swallowed a little, awaiting what his mum might say to him. She greeted her son first, and when she looked at Sam, she questioned him, asking if this was Sam who they had heard so much about. Sam nodded, then she spoke of him being very handsome. For the first time in a while, Sam felt his face flush, and he chuckled nervously for a couple of seconds. Then Francesca soon wrapped her arms around Sam, who slowly put his arms around her, and then she kissed him on one then both cheeks. He followed suit as she did so, then she pulled away, adding that it was lovely to meet him, then welcomed him into the family. Sam looked her, and then quietly said, "Thank you."
Sam turned to Dom, giving him a smile, then followed his mother towards a room, which he soon saw was the lounge room. He nodded when she spoke for them to come in, and Sam soon followed Dom to where he was obviously going to sit, and sat next to him on the lounge. Francesca soon asked if they wanted something to eat or drink, which Sam nodded at. Dom soon spoke of having a drink, which sounded good to Sam right now, as he felt his mouth was a little dry. Hearing that his mum made her own lemonade sounded good to him, though his own never really did that. When Dom finished talking, Sam spoke up, "Lemonade will be fine. Thanks." She soon left them, to get the drinks, then came back.
Sam quickly took his drink, and downed a few mouthfuls, which was great to his throat and mouth right now. He placed the glass back on the tray, and turned to Dom's mum, "I like that." Sam gave her a bright smile, then felt Dom take his hand, and the feel of him caressing the back of his hand was a nice feeling, but he had to remember where he was, so that he could control his emotions and feelings. Dom soon spoke to his mum, reminding her about what she had spoke of a while ago, and she soon said that she did remember, asking if he was interested now. Sam looked at Dom with a smile on his face, as Dom said yes, nodding, and said that he and Sam had spoken about it, saying if she was still for it, and if so asked if they could see about it today.
Sam wondered if it was too soon, or too late notice for Dom's mum, just dumping the idea without any prior notice. Though Sam then watched as Francesca came over and gave them both a big hug together, stating that she would love to do that for them. He soon heard her giggle, which made him chuckle a little, thinking that it reminded him of Dom's giggle, which he always found rather cute. She then apologised, stating that she was very excited about it. Then his mum was off, and Sam turned to Dom, giving his hand a squeeze, as he stood up. "I guess we are really doing this." Sam was far from nervous, he was rather excited, just like Dom's mum.
Francesca was soon back, with her jacket on, telling them to come on. Sam heard Dom giggle, then when he lent into his hear, all he could do was smile, and look down for a second, then looked at Dom, smiling all the more, nodding a little. Then Dom told her that he had his car, so they coudl go to the clinic in his. Sam followed them all to Dom's car, allowing his mum to sit in the front, and Sam sat in the back. When they were all in, Dom headed them in the direction of the fertility clinic.
Sam looked out the window, but couldn't wipe the smile off of his face. He then leant his head on the back seat, just trying to imagine what they might be in for when they get there, but only time would tell. All Sam knew was that he loved Dom, and couldn't wait to have their daughter, Beth.

As Dom drove him and Sam to his parent’s house he would glance over every so often and see that Sam was biting on his nails, something Dom had picked up on when Sam was feeling nervous about anything. He knew that even if he did say something it probably wouldn’t make much difference to the way Sam was feeling but Dom was the kind of person who couldn’t just let it pass without saying something. “Sam my genuine, kind, caring, sensitive and loving Prince, my parents will love you honest to god.” He gave Sam a warm and hopefully encouraging smile, although now that he thought about it at this moment in time the only person likely to be at home would just be his mom. That might be better for Sam really, so he won’t be overwhelmed with meeting his brother, father, sister and her family too. However they were soon at Dom’s parent’s house and it didn’t take long for Dom to get out the car and grab Sam’s hand leading them both up to the house.
As they approached the door Dom noticed Sam nibble on his nail again and al he could do was hope that his mom would be fine with Sam although deep down he knew she would be but he would hate to have been wrong after what he had said to Sam before in the car. When Dom had spoken to Sam more saying that he just knew his mom and dad would love him Dom didn’t get much of a reaction from Sam which made Dom wonder just how nervous Sam really was but he did nod his head at Dom and all Dom could do was give him another warm and encouraging smile. Dom had then kissed Sam quickly and heard him murmur slightly which made Dom smile and feel good on the inside. The sessions with David had a good effect on Dom and he knew that he would soon be able to enjoy a much more physical relationship with Sam without it bringing back his past. Soon enough they were inside and Dom called out to his mom.
He had turned to Sam with a grin saying that he would give his mom five seconds to appear but he had only gotten to four barely when she had stepped out and greeted Dom and then saw Sam and remarked on how handsome he was and greeted him also. Francesca gave a warm smile when Sam nodded his head answering her question about if he was Sam. Dom then watched his mom wrap Sam in her arms and welcoming him to the family which was exactly the reaction he had hoped she would give not that he had really doubted it that much. Sam said thank you quietly. “Oh you’re welcome my darling. Dominic did tell me about your family not accepting your sexuality too well, I find that incredibly sad, I could never have turned my back on my gorgeous Dominic. Sam I want you to know that you will always have a loving family here, I was already thinking of you as a third son but to meet you, it’s just confirmed that feeling.” Francesca then gave Sam another hug and made her way into the lounge room making sure that Dom and Sam were following her.
When Sam turned to Dom and gave him a smile Dom felt so much better about everything and smiled warmly at Sam. It felt nice to Dom that his mom was already looking at Sam as a son and he glanced toward him wondering if they should do something to make that more official. Dom knew that he never wanted to be with anyone else and thought it would be good if and Sam could maybe get married one day. He knew a lot of the States frowned upon it and some didn’t recognise it, but as long as they got married in a State that performed them and where it was legalised, then no matter where they lived they would still be married in their own eyes. Dom realised that as they followed his mom into the lounge room and sat down that he had probably been quiet for too long so snapped out of his thoughts returning to the present so to speak just in time to hear his mom ask if they wanted something to drink.
Dom had agreed to a drink asking for lemonade if it was her homemade one and she had grinned saying that it always was. Sam answered saying that lemonade would be fine. Francesca smiled warmly at him, “Awesome my darling, I’ll be right back.” She then went to get the drinks for the both of them and soon had returned handing over a glass to Dom and Sam. Dom watched as Sam took a few sips of the drink before placing the glass back onto the tray and commented that he liked it. Dom grinned, “I know mom makes the best lemonade my Prince.” Francesca put her hand up to her chest and sighed, “You’re welcome Sam my darling and you’re welcome to have as much of as you like and Dominic that is such a lovely name you have for him.” Dominic had a feeling his mom would have said something about that because she loved the nicknames he had for most of his friends and family. Dom grinned at his mom as he turned to face Sam, “Well that’s because he is my Prince Charming who swept me off my feet, although I think we sort of swept each other off our feet.” Francesca just kept her hand up over her heart and sighed gently, she was just so happy to see her son so happy totally oblivious to the horrific past he had.
Dom had then brought up the idea with his mom reminding her about it and soon enough she had clarified she had remembered and instantly got up and hugged the both of them knowing that she was happy to go through with the idea for the both of them. Francesca had giggled saying she was just excited about it and Dom heard Sam chuckle. As his mom went to get her jacket Sam turned to Dom and squeezed his hand saying that he guessed they were really doing it. Dom stood up then also and squeezed Sam’s hand back, “I guess we are my darling, I can’t wait to know that our Beth will be on her way hopefully soon, you do still want to do it don’t you?” Dom asked not that he thought Sam had changed his mind he just wanted to make sure that it was still something Sam wanted to do.
Then Dom’s mom was back with her jacket on and asking them to come on and Dom had giggled and leant into Sam’s ear to say that he knew she would love him. He saw Sam smile and then look down and then looked back at Dom smiling all the more. All Dom could do was look at Sam with a look of love. “I love you Samuel Carhill and I can’t wait to be a dad with you.” Dom had then told his mom that he had his own car and they could go to the clinic in it. They made their way out to Dom’s car and he noticed Sam allowed his mom to sit in the front, and once they were all in Dom headed toward the clinic.
Fifteen minutes later Dominic pulled into the car park of the clinic and was suddenly full of excitement for what they were about to hopefully do. Once everyone was out of the car he locked it and then took Sam’s hand as they all made their way into the clinic. Dominic walked them all up to the reception area. The girl on the desk looked up at them all with a warm smile on her face, “Good afternoon may I help you?” She asked and Dominic thought he might as well start it off and he was just about to say something when the girl put her hand up to her mouth, “Oh my god, you’re Dominic Salvatore, sorry I just love you and your music.” She said and Dom shook his head as he bit down on his lip and smiled at her, “I’ll give you a signed photo and give you a photo opportunity later, but first I...” He trailed off and looked at Sam and smiled again and then carried on, “I mean we would like to see about a donated egg that my mom could carry for us fertilised by my sperm.”
The girl nodded her head, “I’ll go and get a doctor to come and talk to you about it, if you would all just like to take a seat just now.” The girl said as she pointed to the waiting room area and she then went off to get the doctor. It was at that point as Dom sat down that Francesca spoke to them both again, or more to Sam than anything. “Sam my darling, how would you feel about me asking if it was possible for me to carry two eggs, so that one can be fertilised by you too? If they say I’m fit enough to carry two and they allow it, I would love to do it for you as well as Dominic.” Dom had remembered bringing that idea up to Sam when they were at the beach house but he hadn’t thought for one moment that his mom would be the one suggesting it. However he decided to let Sam answer the question as it was directed to him after all.

On the way to Dom's parent's house, Sam had started to bite his nails on and off. He soon heard Dom speak to him, which made him drop his hand, and look at Dom, sheepishly. "Okay." Sam gave him a small smile, then turned to look out the window. Within a second his hand was back up to his mouth, where he again began to bite on his nails. It was just something that he would never get over, as it was something he had always done.
After almost two seconds, Dom's mum appeared, greeting Dom first, then Sam. When she had welcomed him into the family, Sam had quietly thanked her, and Francesca responded. Hearing her say that Dom had told her about his own family not accepting his sexuality, made him feel a bit down, when she said that she found that incredibly sad it made him nod a little, knowing the feeling. When she spoke of him knowing that he would always have a family here, and that she now thought of him as her third son, made him smile a little. As she hugged him again, he felt a tear in his eye, and he quickly wiped it away, wanting it to be gone when they broke from the hug. "Thank you. It does mean a lot to me to hear that."
Sam was soon seated next to Dom, and Francesca offered them a drink. Sam agreed to some lemonade, and watched her leave the room for a few moments. After she had come back, Sam had taken a few sips, then commented that he liked it. Dom soon said that his mum makes the best lemonade. Francesca then said that he was welcome, and was welcome to have as much as he liked. Sam nodded, "Thanks." He knew that he might need a few more to set him right after feeling so nervous before. Then hearing her comment on Dom's nickname for Sam, made him smile at her, then at Dom, placing his hand on his leg. As Dom explained the meaning behind it, he looked at Sam, who instantly looked back at him. Hearing Dom say that they sort of swept each other off their feet. "Not sure about that. You were kind of my knight in shining armour that day, rescuing me from my heartbreaking last relationship."
After this Dom spoke of the idea that his mum had told him awhile ago. Once it was out in the open, Francesca had gotten up and enveloped them in a hug together. Sam joined her giggle with a chuckle, then she went to get her jacket. He had started to stand, squeezing Dom's hand, saying that he guessed they were really doing it. Feeling Dom squeeze his hand back, made Sam sigh a little. Dom commented, then seemed to question Sam about it, asking if he still wanted to do it. Sam turned to face Dom, and kissed him on the lips for a second, then pulled away. "Of cause I do sweetie. More than anything." Sam smiled all the more at Dom, just wanting it to be over, so that they were able to see the end result already.
Once they were all together, Dom had whispered into Sam's ear, which Sam couldn't respond to. All he could do was just look at Dom in the end, and just smile. Then Dom said that he loved him, stating his full name, and that he couldn't wait to be a dad with Sam. Sam leaned in and kissed Dom on the cheek. "I love you too, and I can't wait either. I just want it to be all over, so that we can have her in our arms already." They were soon then in Dom's car, and heading in the direction of the clinic.
Once there, they all got out, and Sam soon felt Dom's hand in his, which made him move closer to Dom. He was starting to feel his heart beat a bit faster, mostly with anticipation of the visit. He wished that he could just turn the clock forward so that he could see what was said and done. As they reached the reception desk, the girl asked if she could help, then it soon hit her who was standing in front of her. Sam looked at Dom, wondering if he should step aside or something. But then the girl composed herself, as Dom said that he would give her a signed photo later, and a photo opportunity, adding what he was doing here in the first place. When Dom had looked at him, Sam just looked at him with another smile on his face, just trying to compose himself from showing too much excitement over it.
The girl then said she would go and get a doctor, and pointed out the waiting area for them to sit in to wait. Sam followed them both, still holding onto Dom's hand, and sat down next to him. He started to concentrate on getting comfortable when Francesca asked him about her possibly carrying an egg for him too. Sam looked at Dom, wondering if he had told his mum about it. So he turned to her, "I guess my answer would be the same as when Dom gave that suggestion also when we were away that week. I would not give my answer of yes until it was said that you would be okay to carry two. I won't say no though." Sam smiled at her, and then took his other hand, placing it over her own hand. "Thank you for suggesting it."

Dom had seen the way that Sam was biting at his nails nervously as he was driving them to his parent’s house and had said to him that his parents would love him and he then smiled as Sam looked at him sheepishly and then said okay before giving Dom a small smile. Dom smiled back at him and then concentrated on the road again but within seconds he saw that Sam was biting his nails again and Dom knew there was no point in saying anything else again, so he just continued to drive letting Sam do what he had to do knowing that once he met his parents, or at least for now his mom that hopefully Sam would soon feel a lot better about things.
When Dom’s mom Francesca had told Sam that he would always have a loving family with them and that she was already thinking of him as her third son she had then hugged Sam and when they pulled apart from the hug Sam thanked her saying that it meant a lot to him to hear what she had said. Francesca felt her heart going out to Sam then, she honestly couldn’t understand how a parent could disown their child for their sexuality it wasn’t a bad thing. “That’s alright my darling and I meant every single word of it.” Francesca gave him another warm smile and as she looked at him and then looked at her son she could see why he had fallen in love with him, he was absolutely adorable.
When Dom’s mom had commented on his nickname for Sam, Dom soon felt Sam’s hand on his leg and he instinctively put his own hand over Sam’s and then went into the meaning behind the nickname and looked at Sam and then Dom had continued to say that Sam had swept him off his feet or they had swept each other of their feet. Sam soon made a comment about that saying that it was more Dom being a knight in shining armour rescuing him from his heartbreaking last relationship. Dom gave Sam a warm smile, “That’s how you see it my Prince, but I see it as you stealing my heart from the moment I saw you.” His eyes twinkled a little then and as he turned to face his mom again who still had her hand up to her heart she sighed and then he saw her wipe at her eye. “It’s all just so romantic, I honestly don’t understand why some people get so homophobic, watching you both and listening to what you say is just as romantic as watching and hearing heterosexual couples say it to each other.” All Dom could do was give his mom a warm smile.
After Dom had brought up the idea his mom had spoken to him about previously she was soon off getting her jacket ready to go to the clinic with them both and see about it. Sam had then squeezed Dom’s hand saying that they were really doing it. Dom had then asked Sam if he still wanted to do it and this was met with a brief kiss from Sam on the lips which Dom murmured at as he always loved the feel of Sam’s lips on his own and then Sam pulled away and answered him saying that he still wanted to do it more than anything. Dom gave Sam a bright smile before replying with, “Good, because I feel the same way my darling.”
After Dom had told Sam that he loved him stating his full name and that he couldn’t wait to be a dad with Sam he saw Sam lean in and kiss him on the cheek which made Dom close his eyes for a few seconds because really the feel of Sam’s lips anywhere on him made him tingle inside and murmur. Sam then spoke saying that he loved him too and he couldn’t wait adding that he wanted it to be all over so they could have her in their arms already. This made Dom give Sam a warm smile, “I can’t argue with you there my darling, but even we can’t spring miracles to have her here any sooner than ten months at the most depending on how all of this goes today.” Dom then giggled a little and wrapped his arms around Sam to hug him knowing that he was going to love every single moment of doing this with Sam.
It didn’t take them long to reach the clinic and Dom had taken Sam’s hand and noticed that Sam came closer to him and inside Dom was just melting because he knew that what they were going to enquire about was something he so badly wanted to do with Sam. Dom had taken them right up to the reception desk where the girl had asked to help them and soon enough had recognised Dom but he hadn’t wanted to get into it all then saying that he would give her an autograph and photo opportunity later and had went right into the reason why they were there. He had then looked at Sam and when Sam gave him that smile all Dom could do was smile warmly back at him, he honestly couldn’t wait to get this all sorted. Just to know that his mom was going to be carrying their child or children for that matter, it was an amazing feeling.
Once the girl had said she would get a doctor and told them to take a seat they all sat down and Dom noticed that Sam was still holding his hand and Dom absentmindedly began to caress the back of it. Dom’s mom had then asked Sam how he would feel about her carrying two eggs one fertilised by each of them. Dom knew he had brought that idea up himself but he hadn’t said anything about it to his mom at all, this had all come from her. Sam answered her giving his mom the same answer that he had given to Dom at the beach house that time. Francesca just smiled warmly as she listened to Sam speak giving her his answer and then she soon felt his hand over hers as he then thanked her for suggesting it.
“I didn’t say anything to mom about that Sam just so you know I never did get around to it.” Dom decided to say just in case Sam wondered if he had brought the idea up to his mom, and then Francesca nodded her head, “He’s right you know Sam, he never mentioned it to me at all but it’s clear to see that my son knows me very well, I would be honoured, but I agree, we shall wait to see what the doctor has to say about it.” She then put her other hand over Sam’s and held his between her two hands and gave it a gentle squeeze.
It was at that point the doctor came out to greet them. “Hello, I’m Doctor Greene, would you just like to follow me where we can talk about this in a little more privacy.” The doctor then led them all through to another office where it was clear to see that more than one doctor worked in the office. The name on the other desk read ‘Doctor Daniel Watson’. Once he had them ushered into the office he shut the door and then beckoned with his hand, “Please take a seat.” Once they were all seated he looked from Dom to Sam to Francesca and back to Dom. “How may I help you today?” The doctor asked and Dom took in a deep breath and decided to just get it out there. “Well my partner Sam and I are actually here to see about egg donation and having it fertilised for my mom to carry for us.” Dom said and then before anything else could be said Francesca decided to put over her suggestion to the doctor also.
“I myself had just suggested to my...” She trailed off thinking about what she was going to say, technically Sam wasn’t her son, but she so wanted him to know that she openly classed him as that whether Dom and Sam were married or not yet, it made no difference to her, she coughed and put her hand up to her mouth briefly, “...sorry a tickle in my throat there, I was going to say that I had suggested to my other son Sam that I would be quite happy to carry an egg fertilised by his sperm too so that not only would I be giving the gift of life to my son Dominic, I would be giving the gift of life to my other son Sam too, would that be an option? They are worried for my health naturally.” Francesca said as she then sat back in the chair with a smile wondering what the doctor was going to say.
“It wouldn’t be a case of your health right at this moment Mrs. Salvatore?” He began with a question taking from articles that this woman was indeed Dominic Salvatore’s mom and he knew who Dom was, “Obviously I will give you an examination to see that you are fit enough to even carry one fertilised egg, but right away there’s one thing scuppering your plan, it is not possible to implant two eggs fertilised, we are legally and medically only allowed to implant one fertilised egg and we then have to wait and see if that egg takes once it’s in your womb. I am terribly sorry. But if you would like to step behind this curtain I will begin the examination to make sure that you can at the very least carry one.” The doctor said and Francesca slowly nodded her head and then stood up to follow him but placed her hand on Sam’s shoulder, “I am sorry my darling, I would have done it for you if I could.”

After Sam had placed his hand on Dom's leg, he felt Dom put his own hand over his own. Dom explained the nickname, and Sam added to what he said, adding that it was more Dom being a knight in shining armour, rescuing him from his heartbreaking last relationship. Dom replied by saying that that was how Sam saw it, but he saw it as Sam stealing his heart from the moment he saw him. All Sam could do was smile all the more at Dom, feeling his eyes mist over a little, but he was able to blink a couple of times to keep them away. Finally words were able to be said, "Okay. I will let you have that one then."
Sam rested his head on Dom's shoulder, as Dom had turned to his mum. She soon spoke of it being all just so romantic, which made Sam look at her, smiling. Hearing what she had to say made him nod a little, and move his head off of Dom's shoulder. "I know. Love is love, and that is all that matters to me anyway. It shouldn't matter. Maybe you should be the one to speak to my parents." Just thinking about them just made him sad and angry at the same time. He hadn't spoken to them in a while, and he sometimes wondered how they were doing.
After Sam had told Dom that he still wanted to do the whole baby thing, Dom replied, which made Sam smile back at Dom. He was truly excited over it all. When Sam had spoken, saying that he loved Dom too, and couldn't wait, and that he wanted it to be all over. When Dom said that he couldn't argue with him there, but they couldn't spring miracles to have Beth here any sooner. Sam nodded, chuckling a little. Dom then wrapped his arms around Sam, which made him move his arms around Dom also, sighing a little bit.
Once they had been seated in the waiting area, Francesca had asked Sam about what he thought about her carrying two eggs for each of them. Sam had given her the same answer he had given Dom that time back at the beach house, knowing that was still how he felt. Dom soon then added that he hadn't said anything to his mum, never getting around to it. Sam turned and nodded, giving him a smile. "Okay," believing him. His mum soon replied, and Sam nodded at what she was saying. "Okay. Let's see what happens." He watched as she took his hand in her own, and Sam gave Francesca a warm smile.
A moment later a doctor came over to them, stating that his name was Doctor Greene, asking them to follow him. Sam nodded, and continued to hold Dom's hand, as they made their way into the doctor's office. Doctor Greene told them to take a seat, which Sam did, sitting next to Dom, and let go of his hand, as he wanted to concentrate on what was being said, as whatever was told to them, it was important. The Doctor soon asked how he could help them, and Sam sat back as Dom spoke to him about why they were here today. Then Francesca spoke up, talking about what she had suggested to Sam, she trailed off talking initially, and Sam turned and wondered what she was going to say.
Then she said it, after coughing, or maybe just pretending to cough. Hearing her call him 'son' made him get a bit teary eyed. The tears were there, and Sam tried to discreetly wipe at his eyes, and listened to what she said. The doctor soon spoke, stating that it wouldn't be a case of her health, adding that he would have to give her an examination to see if she was fit enough to carry one egg. Then Doctor Greene spoke of the whole implanting two eggs, and how they were only allowed to implant one egg, then they would have to wait and see if it takes. Sam was kind of saddened to hear that, even though he had known deep down that it might not have been possible. Maybe his hopes were a little too high deep inside him.
The doctor then ushered Francesca towards the curtain where he would examine her. When she stood up to follow, a hand was placed on his shoulder, and apologised to him. In a quiet voice, Sam replied, "It's okay. And I know." He gave her a weak smile, knowing she would have, if she was able to. Once she had followed the doctor behind the curtain, Sam sighed, and sat back in his chair, and closed his eyes. Not meaning to, he could feel a tear, then a second one, fall from his eyes. Sam wiped them away, kind of half laughing, turning to Dom. "Sorry. I don't mean to get all upset. I kind of knew that it might not be possible. Maybe my heart was just hoping for it to be possible." Sam then moved forward, placing his head in his hands.

When Dom told Sam that his seeing Dom as his knight in shining armour saving him from a heartbreaking last relationship was how he saw it but Dom saw it as Sam stealing his heart from the moment he saw him he saw that smile of Sam’s grow bigger and it made Dom grin at him and looked at him with a face full of love. Dom could see that Sam was struggling to keep his emotions in check with what he had said to him and Dom felt his own emotions starting to go slightly but once Sam seemingly composed himself and answered him by saying that he would let Dom have that one then it made Dom bite down on his bottom lip slightly and just smile all the more at Sam. Dom was so in love with Sam and he knew he never wanted to be with anyone else.
Dom soon felt Sam’s head rest on his shoulder and he knew if they had been alone at that point he would probably have initiated a kiss between them, but instead he just gently leant his head on top of Sam’s as he turned to face his mom again. Hearing what she had to say Dom couldn’t really say anything other than to smile warmly at her knowing what she had said to be very true. Dom then felt Sam move his head and soon he was speaking saying that he knew what Francesca had been saying was true adding that love was love and that was all that should matter and then he went on to say that maybe Dom’s mom should be the one to speak to his parents. Francesca leant across and took one of Sam’s hands between her own and gave him another warm smile, “Sam my darling, if that’s what it takes I would be honoured to speak to them, they have to learn to accept you and if they can’t, well I’d be truly disappointed because no parent should turn their back on their child.” When Francesca had said earlier that she was already seeing Sam as a son she had meant it and she knew she always would.
Hearing his mom speak to Sam like that made Dom feel all emotional, she truly was looking at Sam as another son, he could sense it without her having to say anything. He wanted Sam’s parents to accept him because if they didn’t then it would mean that they would never accept Dom either and that was sad, but at least they would both have a loving family with his, but somehow Dom knew deep down inside that for Sam that would never be quite enough because you always wanted your own family to accept you. Dom knew that if his family hadn’t accepted him he didn’t know what he would do. He then felt a couple of tears escape from his eyes which naturally his mother had noticed. “Hey, why are you crying my darling?” Francesca asked with concern in her voice and Dom sort of giggled a bit through his tears, “I was just thinking what it could have been like for me if you had been like Sam’s parents, I guess I just hate that they are like that with him it breaks my heart.” Dom explained and then turned to Sam and gave him a weak smile and then not caring about his mother being there or not he leant in to kiss him briefly on the lips.
Francesca shook her head, “You know that would never have happened my darling, a family’s love should be unconditional and irrevocable, so what if I am never going to gain a daughter-in-law through you Dominic, I might just gain another son-in-law and to be honest, I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all.” She looked at Sam when she said those last few words and gave him a warm smile, looking at him she knew she would be proud to refer to Sam as her son and call him her son. Dom felt his face flush slightly at the mention of his mom referring to Sam as a possible son-in-law, not that he hadn’t thought about him and Sam getting married, but he had always said he wouldn’t push things with him and they were already going to see about having a child, somehow he felt that was enough for Sam to deal with just now. “I know it wouldn’t have happened you all prove it to me every single day and as for the other thing, who knows mom, but I wouldn’t rule it out.” He replied as he glanced at Sam and gave him another look of love.
When Dom had teased with Sam saying that they couldn’t spring miracles to have Beth with them any sooner than the possible ten months it may take Sam nodded his head and then chuckled which made Dom giggle all the more. He had then wrapped his arms around Sam giving him a hug and Sam returned the hug which Dom loved murmuring a little. Dom was feeling more maternal than ever before now and he knew it was all down to knowing that he was going to be doing this with the man he loved instead of doing it alone, although he would have if it had come to it, because he had wanted a child of his own for months now.
Soon they at the clinic and Dom’s mom Francesca had brought up the idea of carrying two fertilised eggs and after Sam had given her the same answer he had given to Dom at the beach house when he had brought it up, Dom added that he hadn’t said anything to his mom and Sam replied saying okay and nodding his head in a sign that told Dom he believed him. Then his mom had basically confirmed it and said to Sam that she agreed with what Sam had said and would wait and see what the doctor had to say about it. Sam replied saying okay and to see what would happen and Francesca had taken Sam’s hand and given it a gentle squeeze as Sam smiled at her which she returned.
The doctor had then come out and they were soon all inside the rather big office which was shared by another doctor as Dominic had picked up on the other name plate and soon enough they were all sitting and Dom felt Sam let go of his hand as they got down to the serious business of discussing what they were all there for. Then Francesca had spoken up about her idea referring to Sam as her other son and Dom glanced at Sam then and saw him wiping at his eyes which only fuelled Dom’s emotions and he too soon had to wipe at his eyes. He leant in to Sam and whispered into his ear, “Stop it my darling you’re setting me off.” He then kissed him on the cheek and went back to concentrating on what was being said between the doctor and his mom.
As the doctor continued to talk to his mom about her suggestion Dom felt his heart fall as he said that it wasn’t legally or medically right for them to implant two eggs into her and suddenly he felt bad for having suggested it to Sam back at the beach house even if it was his mom who initiated the idea again today. Dom then watched as his mom got up for the doctor to examine her and soon saw her place her hand on Sam’s shoulder telling him she was sorry and she would have done it if she could have. Dom knew that to be true alright. He felt a lump in his throat as Sam told her it was alright and he knew. Then his mom was behind the curtain with the doctor as he examined her. Dom then turned his attention onto Sam and saw that he was getting upset which was just going to cause Dom to get upset also. Sam soon kind of half laughed and turned to Dom apologising saying that he didn’t mean to get upset knowing that it might not have been possible but his heart had hoped for it to be possible. Sam then put his head in his hands.
Dom shifted over and wrapped his arm around Sam pulling him close to him and sniffed a few times as he felt the tears fall too, “I know my darling, and it’s alright for you to get like that over it, I am too. I can sense that my mom is really upset too. I would have loved for you to have had your own child too, but there’s always next time providing the doctors say mom is still fit enough to carry another egg for us.” Dom said in a soothing voice and then just continued to hug Sam to him as he continued to cry and tried to compose himself.
Soon enough Dom could hear the curtain open and he sat up a little again as the doctor sat back down at his desk and his mom sat down also. “Well the good news is that I can confirm that your mother is fit and well enough to carry a child for you, so if you would still like to go ahead with it, we can take you down to the egg donation unit and then whoever is going to fertilise the egg can go into a private room to produce it.” The doctor said as he raised his eyebrow slightly looking at both Dom and Sam. Dom knew that he wanted to use his sperm this time around but he also knew that it wasn’t going to be an easy thing to do alone and wondered if they would allow for both him and Sam to be in the private room together. Dom looked at Sam, “We do still want to go ahead with it don’t we?” He asked Sam and then turned to the doctor, “It will be alright for both of us to go into that room right?” The doctor broke out into a small smile, “There are books to help with that sort of thing, but yes by all means you can both go into the room.”

Danny had been out at the laboratory checking up on some DNA experiments he had been carrying out so he had no idea that the office he shared with Doctor Greene had anybody inside when he had finished in the laboratory and made his way back to the office. Although it was a shared office Danny had his own door and so he didn’t think anything of it as he opened it to go to his desk to mark up his findings on the experiments so far. Danny wasn’t the hash and bash type so it was only natural that when he entered the office from his own door that the people sitting opposite his colleague’s desk would have been unaware of his entry. He was going to just discreetly leave again and go back to the laboratory when he couldn’t help but listen in on the conversation between them all even though he knew it was wrong to do that.
It didn’t take Danny long to figure out what was going on. The two guys were gay men looking to have a child and the mother of one of them, from where Danny was he didn’t know whose mother she was, but she was obviously willing to be the surrogate for the child. Danny sat forward in his chair then with his hand on his chin as he listened to what she asked about carrying two fertilised eggs. Danny took from that to mean that she wanted for both of them to have their own biological child, but really with the eggs being donated the children would only be their child biologically by the sperm and not the egg. He also knew that it was illegal to implant two eggs so he was even more interested in the people in Anthony’s office as he went on to explain to them that it was illegal and not medically right to implant two eggs.
Anthony then beckoned for the mother to get an examination to make sure she was fit enough to even carry one egg and he heard her tell one of the guys that she was sorry but she would have done it for him if she could. He then watched as the two guys seemed to get somewhat emotional and from where he was sitting watched the darker haired one pull the other into his arm as they hugged. He just about heard what the dark haired one said to the other as he hugged him and Danny realised that he could probably help them. He wasn’t a geneticist for nothing after all and with his ability he could easily mess with the DNA of the donated egg and add in the DNA of the male who wasn’t using his sperm. He was about to go and speak to them when Anthony and the woman came back out from the examination area.
He decided to wait until there was another break in the conversation and when he heard the dark haired one ask if they could both go into the room when it came to producing the sperm Danny had to hold back a little laugh as it was fairly obvious that no books were going to be needed. Once Anthony was finished telling them they could both go into the room he stood up knowing that this was probably the best time to introduce himself and offer his services knowing that he may be frowned on by Anthony but he didn’t care, he liked helping people achieve their dream and he wanted to help this couple achieve theirs. He got up from his desk and made his way over and knocked on the partition that was half way across the office that sort of separated them both. He then put his hand up to his head and rubbed at it slightly not sure where to start, “I uhm, couldn’t help but over hear what was being said between all of you and Anthony if I may be allowed to say something here?” Danny asked and Anthony just nodded his head as he sat back in his chair and put his fingertips together wondering what his colleague was going to suggest.
“Thank you.” He replied to Anthony and then walked in further so he could face the gay couple, “My name is Doctor Daniel Watson, Danny to everyone, I’m a geneticist and I think I might be able to help you good people. I heard what was said before I am terribly sorry as I did not mean to pry, but I was in my office it was not difficult to miss, but that your hopes were dashed for two eggs to be implanted, well how would you feel about the one egg having the DNA of both of you? I can make it happen you see.” Danny said in his clear thick English accent as he stood with his finger and thumb rubbing at his chin wondering what they would say to the idea, he hoped they would go for it, because he desperately loved helping people.

When Sam had made the comment about Francesca maybe speaking to his parents, she soon took his hands in her own, and gave him a smile. As she replied, Sam really looked and took in what she was saying, and he gave her a weak smile. "Thank you. It would mean a lot. They haven't fully disowned me, but I know that deep down they are not happy, especially dad." Then Sam looked at Dom, when his mum did, and removed one of his hands from Francesca's grasp, and placed it in Dom's. He spoke as to why he was upset, and Sam swallowed a little, feeling a couple of tears sting in his eyes, though blinking them back seemed to help. Then Dom kissed Sam on the lips, which Sam responded to with a kiss back softly.
Francesca replied to what her son said about how it could have been like that for him, in regards to how Sam's parents are. Sam turned to her as she said the last few words, and this time he felt a tear escape, which he quickly wiped away. Just knowing that he would have a family that would accept him for him was enough for him right now. "Thank you," was all Sam could get out. But then Dom spoke more, replying to what his mum said. When he acknowledged the last thing his mum said, Sam turned to Dom, who glanced over, and Sam saw that look that Dom always gave him, and all he could do was quietly sigh.
Sam hadn't meant to, but he had gotten a little teary eyed, when Francesca pretty much called him her son. Then Dom had leant in to tell Sam to stop it, as he was setting him off. Sam gave him a weak smile, then Dom kissed him on the cheek, and turned back to obviously listen to what was being said. Though Sam turned and whispered to Dom, "Sorry." He then let himself just lean closer to Dom as the doctor spoke.
Once it was noted that only one egg was allowed to legally be planted, Sam understood, even if he had hoped in a way that there was a possibility of having two. Soon Francesca was taken behind the curtain for her examination to see if she could carry at least the one egg. Sam had then gotten upset over it, not really meaning to, but explained anyway to Dom. He finished talking, then he put his head in his hands. A few more tears escaped his eyes, and he sniffed a few times trying to control how he was feeling, but really there was no controlling this type of emotion.
Sam soon felt Dom's arm around him, and felt himself move closer to Dom. He moved his head from his hands, then lent his head on Dom's shoulder. The words Dom spoke were kind of reassuring, and hearing that his mum might be able to carry another after this one, kind of gave Sam hope, but didn't want to do that as look how he was now. Sam moved his arm around Dom, and began to calm down. But then he also knew if need be he could easily adopt. Deep down, Sam wouldn't care if the child wasn't part of him, he would still look after he or she, and take care of them as if they were his own. He was starting to become a bit more happier in himself for thinking of that idea. Though he knew he would have to talk to Dom about it.
The curtain soon opened, and Sam moved apart from Dom, sitting up straighter in his chair, waiting to hear what the results were. Hearing the good news made Sam much more brighter. He turned to Dom, then back to the doctor. "That's great news." Sam instantly reached for Dom's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. When the doctor asked if they would still like to go ahead with it, they could go to the egg donation unit, and whoever was to fertilise the egg can go into a private room. Sam instantly turned to Dom, giving him a big smile. Dom soon questioned Sam, who just nodded at him. He then asked if they could both go into the room, where he was to give his sperm.
Sam wasn't sure what the doctor was going to say to that. He would be more than happy to go in and help Dom in any way he could, in order for him to give them what they wanted. Actually he was more than happy, he was quite willing to do anything to help Dom get his dream. Sam looked at the doctor, and he then commented that there were books to help, but then gave them the all clear for them both to go in. He squeezed Dom's hand, "Well more the merrier I say." Sam chuckled then, getting all excited again of the prospect of having a child with Dom.
As Sam waited to follow the doctor, when he was ready to lead them out to where they had to go, there was a knock on the divider of the room. Sam turned to see a man come around to where they were, and listened to what he had to say. He asked if he was allowed to say something, and Doctor Greene acknowledged him. When he came in further, he was facing Sam and Dom, and then introduced himself, which Sam slowly nodded to. Daniel then continued to talk, and Sam listened to what he had to say.
When the last part was said, Sam tilted his head a little to try and understand what this doctor was trying to suggest. He turned to Dom, not sure what to say or do right now. Sam turned back to Daniel, "I guess I would want to know a bit more about it, like risks and all that, as I wouldn't want either Dom's mum, or the baby to be in jeopardy over this little thing that you are talking about."

When Francesca had said that she would talk to Sam’s parents adding that she would be disappointed if they didn’t learn to accept him because no parent should turn their back on their child, Sam gave her a weak smile and then he spoke thanking her and adding that they didn’t fully disown him they just weren’t happy especially his dad. Francesca gave Sam another warm smile, “I’ll see what I can do although I have to admit that when there are issues between parents and their children’s sexuality it usually is always the father who finds it the most difficult to accept, Dominic was lucky that Fredrico wasn’t in the least bit bothered.” She gave Sam a brighter smile then and turned to Dominic to give him a warm smile too and that’s when she had noticed he had gotten upset over something and had questioned it. Francesca felt Sam remove his hand and take Dom’s and then he had said what had got him upset. Then Dom had kissed Sam and that’s when Francesca had said that what he had been thinking would never happen.
Dom’s mom had added more to what she said about how she would just be as happy to gain another son-in-law through Dominic instead of a daughter-in-law and Sam thanked her. Francesca just nodded her head with a warm smile. Dom had replied to his mom about the whole son-in-law bit saying he didn’t know but wouldn’t rule it out and had looked at Sam with the look of love that he always gave him and he soon heard Sam sigh gently which made him smile all the more and feeling himself get emotional again.
When Dom had seen Sam get upset when his mom had referred to Sam as ‘son’ Dom had leant into his ear and whispered for him to stop or he’d set him off and then kissed him on the cheek before turning back to concentrate on what was being said by the doctor. Dom soon saw Sam turn to him and whisper that he was sorry and all Dom could do was smile weakly at him and then felt Sam lean into him more which Dom loved and sighed gently leaning in toward him a little as well.
After it was made clear that Dom’s mom wouldn’t be able to carry two eggs at once due to the legal system but would examine her to make sure she could at least carry one they had gone behind the curtain to do the examination leaving Dom and Sam alone. Sam had gotten upset and Dom had put his arm around him telling him that there was always the possibility of his mom being able to carry an egg for Sam later. Sam didn’t say anything but Dom did feel Sam move closer to him putting his arm around Dom which made him sigh gently again just loving the embrace they were in right then. A short while later Dom heard the curtain open and soon he and Sam were sitting up again straighter taking in the very good news. Sam had turned to Dom looking a lot brighter and Dom gave Sam a bright smile. When Sam said it was great news Dom felt him reach for his hand and felt him squeeze it. Dom immediately returned the gesture, “Yes, it’s fantastic news and I still feel honoured that you want to do this for us mom.” Dom said and Francesca just turned and gave him a warm smile. “You know I’m very set in my ways Dominic my darling, if I didn’t want to do it, I wouldn’t have offered, you’re very welcome.”
The doctor had then said that they could make their way down to the egg donation unit and Dom could then go into the private room to produce the sperm. Dom had then questioned Sam that they still wanted to do it and when he saw that smile of Sam’s he couldn’t help but smile brightly back, and then had questioned the doctor about the both of them going into the room. The doctor had mentioned about books but then said they could both go in if they wanted to. Sam squeezed gently at Dom’s hand and he had to giggle slightly when Sam said the more the merrier. He raised his eyebrow in that sexy way of his and couldn’t help but to say, “Oh really? Who else did you have in mind my darling?” This made Francesca laugh a little and shake her head, “Boys please, mother is in the room.” But she too began to giggle along with Dominic.
As Dom waited for the doctor to get up from where he was sitting to lead them to the egg donation unit and the private room, there was a knock and Dom soon heard a male voice speak with a very thick English accent. Doctor Greene said the other could talk and he soon introduced himself as Doctor Daniel Watson and went on about being a geneticist and being able to help them. He continued to talk and Dom couldn’t help but raise his eyebrow at what he was hearing and began to wonder how it could all be possible. He was going to say something especially when Sam had looked at him but then Sam turned back to Daniel and said he would want to know more about it first, like risks not wanting Dom’s mom or the baby to be put in any sort of jeopardy. Dom felt his head nodding along as he too shared Sam’s sentiments. “I have to say that the idea sounds incredibly wonderful but I too would fear for the safety of my mom and the child. If you can explain to us more what you are referring to then maybe we could come to a decision?” Dom said as he looked at Sam and then looked at his mom who nodded her head. “I have to agree, I think we should all know more about this procedure.”
Doctor Greene got up from where he was sitting then, “I believe I am leaving you in good hands with Danny he can explain in greater detail what he is referring to and I believe it is something that will benefit you both, Danny will show you to the egg donation unit and private room. Good luck.” With that Doctor Greene left Dom alone with his mom and Sam and this new doctor who could possibly make the dream come true for Sam and him to have their own genetic child by blood, it sounded in a way too good to be true. Dom looked at Danny and smiled weakly, “I will admit though that as long as there are absolutely no risks with this then I am happy for it to happen, what about you my darling?” Dom asked as he looked at Sam, he couldn’t help but be a little excited as it would mean that he and Sam would have their own genetic child by blood, their child would not only be a part of Dom but a part of Sam as well.

Danny was excited when Anthony said that he could talk to the couple and he had then moved round and introduced himself and said what he was and how he could help them. Obviously they had questions some of which showed concerns toward the woman who would be carrying the child and toward the child also. Danny nodded his head as he looked at firstly the two men and then the woman and then the woman herself said that it would be good to know more about what he was suggesting. He was going to start talking when Anthony got up from his desk and said that he was going to leave them in good hands with him adding that he would explain in greater detail and then show them to the donation unit and private room. Danny nodded his head, “Yes, I can and thank you Anthony.” He replied and once Anthony was out of the room Danny turned to the three people again.
Then the dark haired guy said that he had to admit that as long as there were no risks he was happy for it to happen asking his partner what he thought. Once his partner answered Danny felt that now was as good a time as any to go into the greater detail about his suggestion. “Alright, well firstly the procedure that I am talking about will have absolutely no risk at all.” He swallowed and knew that he was going to have to tell them about his ability and wondered if these people would know about people like him or not. “I am not sure if you have heard of people like us or not, Evolved Humans? Well I am one and I have the ability to manipulate genetics. All I would have to do is tap into my power and hover my hand over the egg to remove the current DNA properties and then withdraw DNA from the one who wasn’t fertilising the egg by manipulation and then again by manipulation adding that DNA back to the egg. The egg would then be fertilised with the sperm from the other in a test tube which would be watched microscopically and when the egg was fertilised it would then be implanted into the good woman here. I can also implant the egg when it’s ready and then you would have to come back a week later just to make sure that egg has taken in the womb.” Danny explained and took in a breath.
He knew it was a lot for them to take in but he really hoped that they would go for it, he so wanted to help this couple who seemed to be quite disappointed at finding out the woman couldn’t legally carry two fertilised implanted eggs. “I know it is a lot for you to take in, but I am not going anywhere, so you can take all the time you need to discuss it.” Danny said as he once again stood with his finger and thumb rubbing at his chin. This would be their only chance of having a child which would genetically belong to both of them and then because he couldn’t help himself and the fact that he just loved helping people, “In fact, I’d be willing to do it again whenever you were ready for another child.” He wished that there was something he could give them to read over to help them make up their mind but the truth of the matter was the procedure to do this wasn’t technically legal yet, but with his power he could do it and Anthony had given him the go ahead to do it one time before for a lesbian couple.

When Sam spoke about how his parents didn't disown him, they weren't happy, especially his dad, Francesca commented more on it. Hearing her say that it was always the father who finds it the most difficult, he nodded. Sam understood that, and could still how his father reacted when he told him and his mum together. He shook his head a little trying to remove the vision from his head, and looked at Francesca. "I can sort of understand. Though would have been nice for him to get over it all now."
After an emotional couple of minutes together, over the fact that only one egg would be able to be implanted, the doctor had come out to say that Francesca would be fit enough to carry one egg. Hearing the good news of that fact made Sam turn and smile brightly at Dom. He had commented that it was great news, and took Dom's hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. Dom replied, which made Sam smile all the more, and then turned to face Francesca, as Dom spoke to her, saying that he felt honoured that she was to do this for them both. Sam nodded enthusiastically, and then listened to what she said in reply to Dom's statement. "Yes, thank you so much Francesca."
When Dom asked if it was okay if Sam could come in with him into the room, the doctor allowed it. Sam had then said 'more the merrier', which had made him chuckle at what he said. Dom then raised his eyebrows, making Sam smirk a bit at him, then he questioned it, asking who else did he have in mind. "Well, no one, just me being there will be enough." Sam had to stop himself from laughing, and then hearing Francesca add what she said made him chuckle a little. He knew that he would have to sometimes tone down his sexual banter around others, but this was how Dom was making him. Making him feel free about what he wanted to say.
Before anyone made a move, there was a knock, and a man began to speak to them. Once Doctor Greene acknowledged him, allowing him to talk, the man came in further, stating his name, and what he was offering, in regards to what he could do. Once Daniel was finished, Sam had questioned him, in regards to the risks to what he was talking about. Dom then said that the idea sounded incredible, but too would fear for the safety of his mum and the child. He then asked if the doctor could explain to them more about what he was referring to. Sam nodded at Dom for what he said, and then followed his gaze to Francesca, who agreed to what they said.
Doctor Greene, who they had started to deal with, got up, and said that he was leaving them in good hands with Daniel, as he could explain in greater detail what he is referring to. When he said 'good luck', Sam nodded in acknowledgement, "Thank you Dr. Greene." He soon left them alone with Doctor Watson. Dom then looked at Daniel, and said that if there were no risks, then he would be happy for it to happen. Dom then asked Sam what he thought, which led to Sam biting his lip a little, "I would be the same sweetie. But first let's see what it is all about. I don't want to be jumping into anything, okay." He gave Dom's hand a gentle squeeze, then waited for Daniel to talk to them about it all.
Daniel soon spoke of the procedure being of no risk, which made Sam raise his eyebrows a little. He continued to tell them what he was able to do, and what he was, which made Sam nod. "I know of them, as I am one also." He glanced at Dom, and wondered if he wanted to tell Daniel that he was one, so allowed a few seconds to see if he would or not. Hearing about Daniel's power was pretty intriguing, and everything he was saying was going straight into Sam's head, like always. He knew that later when they got home, that he would be researching it all a bit more, as he knew there were articles on Evolved Humans, and they were always adding to it with new abilities that came to hand, though Sam hadn't read through every single one.
Once Daniel was finished explaining it all, Sam sat back, as he didn't realised that he had been sitting forward, and sighed a little. It was a lot to take in, but for Sam's ability, it was okay. Daniel then said that he knew that it was a lot to take in, but he wasn't going anywhere, so they could take all the time they needed. Sam nodded, and then turned to Dom, wondering what he was making of all of it. "I would like a minute or two to think it over, I think. Just need to understand it all, I guess, despite my own ability. I can absorb information, so have all of what you said in my head right now."

Dom’s mom felt her heart reach out to Sam when he said that he could sort of understand but it would be nice for him to get over it all now. Francesca nodded her head and gave Sam a sympathetic smile. “Well, maybe if I talk to them I can make them think different.” Not that she thought she was an overly persuasive person by any means, but it couldn’t hurt and already the pain of seeing Sam so upset was unbearable for her and she had only just met him. His parents, especially his dad ought to be ashamed of himself she thought feeling slightly angry.
Once it had been clarified that Dom’s mom could carry one egg Dom had agreed that it was great news and told his mom that he felt honoured at her for doing this for the both of them. Francesca had responded to that and then Sam had spoken thanking Dom’s mom also. Francesca gave Sam a warm smile, “You’re welcome my darling, I want a grandchild through the both of you and if this is the way to make that happen, then naturally I am all for it.” She just felt bad that she couldn’t carry two eggs because of the legal system, as it happened the doctor had told her that if it had been legal that she could have carried two.
Light humour followed when Sam had said the line ‘more the merrier’ after the doctor agreed that Dom could take Sam into the private room with him. When Sam answered Dom’s question about whom else did he have in mind he had to giggle, “Sam my darling I can guarantee that just you will be more than enough.” Of course Dom’s mom Francesca had piped up at the point saying that mother was in the room which just made Dom giggle all the more knowing fine well that she was teasing and didn’t give a damn about what they were saying to each other. He knew he had to say something so Sam might not feel awkward about it. “Mom come on, I know fine well you’re teasing.” Dom said to her and shook his head as he giggled all the more which made Francesca giggle and then looked at Sam giving him a bright smile, “He’s right you know, I don’t care about anything like that, you can say what you want to each other in front of me.”
It was soon after this that the other doctor came into the picture talking to them about an idea they could go for talking about the egg getting Sam’s DNA instead of the original DNA which was already in the egg. Dom had stated that it was an incredible idea but like Sam had reservations over possible risks and then Dom’s mom had said the same thing. It was at this point the other doctor, Doctor Greene said that he was leaving them in good hands with Daniel and wished them good luck. Dom nodded his head toward Doctor Greene in acknowledgment, “Thank you.” He then turned to Daniel and said that if there were no risks he’d be happy for it to happen and had then asked Sam’s opinion on that. Sam replied saying that he would be the same but still wanted to find out what it was all about before jumping into anything. Dom nodded his head and gave Sam a smile, “Yeah naturally, I don’t want anything to go wrong either.” He had felt Sam squeeze his hand and so he returned that gesture.
Daniel then went into greater detail about what he was talking about, what he was and what he could do. Sam soon said that he knew of Evolved Humans adding that he was one, and Dom thought there would be no harm in saying he was too. “And I’m one also.” Dom replied as he gave Daniel a smile and then Daniel continued to talk more about what he could do using his power. With one of his hands as Daniel spoke Dom kept running it through his hair as he absorbed everything that was being said to them through his Enhanced Memory. It sounded complicated he thought but it also sounded as if it was something that could indeed be done with no risks. However he knew that Sam would probably want to talk about it more first and take more time to make a decision and so Dom kept quiet about how he was feeling over it for now until he heard what Sam was going to say.
Sam soon spoke as he turned to Dom saying that he would like a minute or two to think about it which to be fair Dom had half expected. However as Sam continued to talk it would seem that he was talking to Daniel still. When Sam was finished, Dom shrugged slightly, “I don’t know Sam my darling; I guess the main decision is up to you as it’s your DNA we’re talking about getting manipulated.” He then turned to Daniel again, “Are you sure there are no risks, I mean there will be no side effects or repercussions at a later date for the unborn child and Sam, I would hate for anything to happen to either of them further down the line.” Dom said and then turned back to Sam again. “I’m going to let you give the answer to this Sam my darling, whatever you decide I will go along with also, okay?” Dom said to Sam as he took his hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. Dom noticed that his mom had stayed quiet through all of this, probably because she knew that it was Sam’s decision. He looked at his mom and raised his eyebrow as if to ask her what she was thinking.
Francesca looked up, “Well to be honest, I’m happy to go along with whatever Sam decides, as long as there are no risks to all involved then I’m happy for it to happen after all I’m only carrying the egg, I’m just the oven baking the bun so to speak.” Francesca said and then looked down at her hands which were in her lap and wondered what the decision would be, she hoped that Sam would agree to it, because then it would mean that the child she would be carrying for them both really would be a part of both of them, it was actually quite incredible when you think about it.

After Danny had explained about being an Evolved Human both men confirmed that they were Evolved Humans themselves which made Danny relax a little. He gave a slight nod of his head to acknowledge what both the men had said about being the same as him. He had then went on to describe his ability and what he could do adding that he knew it was a lot to take in and that he could do it again if they wanted a second child at some point. He didn’t expect an answer from them right away, so when the one called Sam spoke saying that he would need a minute or two to think about it Danny nodded his head enthusiastically. “That is not a problem; I can imagine that it would be something you would have to think about.” Danny stepped back from the both of them then to give them some space as they spoke to each other.
He stood with his thumb in his mouth slightly as the two of them continued to talk to one another about his suggestion and he wondered if they would go for it or not. However as much as Danny loved making people happy there was no way he would push the issue on them. He heard the dark haired guy say to his partner that the decision was up to him and then he turned and spoke to Danny again asking him if he was sure there were no risks involved or any side effects or repercussions further down the line. Danny shook his head, “I can guarantee it’s a safe procedure, I did this about a year ago for a lesbian couple and they just had a perfect baby boy a few months ago, tests proved after he was born that he held the genetics of both the females in the partnership. If there were risks involved I would not do it, it’s that simple.” Danny answered the dark haired guy and then once again stood back a bit as they continued to converse.
Then the woman who was going to carry the egg spoke saying that she was happy to go along with whatever Sam decided and that she was happy to do it so long as there were no risks to all involved. Danny looked at the woman, “I can assure you, as I said before, there are no risks involved in this, it’s the safest procedure, in fact it is probably safer using my ability to do this than it would be if the procedure to do it using needles was made legal.” Danny then brought his hand up to his mouth and coughed a little knowing fine well that using his power of Genetic Manipulation would always work better than a medical procedure, but at the end of the day the decision was up to the couple sitting in front of him.

After Sam said that there was no one, just himself being there will be enough, Dom replied to it, which made Sam give Dom a warm smile. He still felt a little awkward with what he said to Dom, though he soon heard Dom say to his mum that he knew fine well she was teasing. Sam looked at Francesca, who then spoke to him about it. He nodded, "Okay." But still in his head he made a mental note to restrain himself somewhat though.
The second doctor, Daniel, had come in, and spoken about what he could do. As it seemed that Daniel was prepared to explain it all to them, Doctor Greene left them alone, with Sam and Dom thanking him for what he had done. Sam said he wanted to find out more about it all before jumping into anything. He returned Dom's smile, when he smiled back, saying that he didn't want anything to go wrong either. When Sam had squeezed Dom's hand, he felt it being returned, which made Sam feel that he was definately not alone through this, and just wanted to understand what was to expected from this procedure.
Hearing about it all, listening to how Daniel's ability is used to change the DNA and so forth of the egg, so that they were both part of the whole process, not just Dom. It was soon spoken of that he and Dom were both evolved humans, so now Daniel was aware that he wasn't the only one in the room of that nature. Sam could see in the corner of his eye that Dom was running his hand through his hair, which was obvious to him that Dom was trying to understand it all, despite his ability. It was still overwhelming to Sam, who was absorbing the information, in order to do more research later.
When Sam said that he wanted a minute or two to think about it, Daniel nodded, saying that it wasn't a problem. Dom spoke to Sam then, basically saying to him that the decision was up to him. Just hearing that made Sam feel that he was the one who was carrying the whole thing on his own shoulders. It was making him feel really overwhelmed over it, and he tried to keep his emotions in check over it. Normally this was the part where when things got too much for him, he would get a little emotional, and a little hysterical. But he knew he couldn't be like that right now. He had to hold it all together.
All Sam could do was nod a little, and then listened to what Dom had to say to Daniel. Hearing what might happen, despite hearing before that there were no risks, made Sam bite on his bottom lip a little, and his eyes diverted to Daniel. What was being suggested? If some of his DNA was removed, would something happen to him? Sam didn't like the sound of that at all. Now he was thinking the worst. Daniel said he could guarantee it was a safe procedure, adding what he did for a lesbian couple a year ago. Hearing that they had a baby, and that the tests confirmed that the baby held the genetics of both females, made Sam feel a little better.
Dom then said that he was going to let Sam give the answer. He was starting to feel a little sick now, thinking that he was again pointed out to be the one to make the decision. Sam wanted more than anything to have this baby with Dom, and have part of him in the child. Sam's eyes roamed the room slowly, trying to think as much as he could, trying again to keep his emotions in check. He could see that his eyes were going to mist over, but he blinked a little, keeping them from really doing some damage.
Though the feel of Dom's hand in his own was kind of reassuring, but he hated being the one to be the one to give a decision like this. Sam was never one have to make big, life changing decisions, and now it was the time for him to be a grown up and do that. Francesca soon spoke up, making sure that there were no risks, and that she was happy for it to happen as she was only the one carrying the egg. Daniel soon spoke, again said that he could assure them that there are no risks in it, it was the safest procedure.
Sam hardly ever took risks in life, and then he sat up straight, knowing full well that this was the time to start. Despite there being no risks involved, Sam still felt a little uneasy, but he knew that he should just do it. What could he lose? Probably the child looking anything like him actually. Sam took a deep breath, and turned to look at Daniel. "Let's do it." He then turned to Dom, "I'm ready to do this." He let out another deep breath, and nodded at Dom, hoping that whatever had to be done would work.
