JUSTICE
I’m more than happy in my life. The bakery I own with my sisters is doing well, I have a best friend who knows all my secrets and I’m content with a string of satisfying, short-lived partners in my past. It might not land me on the naughty list, but there’s only one thing I want that I haven’t grabbed ahold of with both hands. A baby.
I’m more than fine with the thought of becoming a mother without a permanent man in my life. Who needs one anyway? I know my value and none of the guys in my past have been worth more than a good time. The only guy who can keep up with me is my best friend, Corbin, and he has a wake of broken hearts behind him just like I do.
This Christmas I’m inspired to go after what I really want with no apologies. I’m not interested in a stranger’s DNA, but Corbin has a lot to offer when it comes to a baby daddy. I’m a little surprised by how seriously he’s taking the whole thing, but I’m not looking for a commitment. So, how does my heart get involved?
CORBIN
I’ve been good keeping my relationships with women superficial and fleeting. Why would I need anything deeper when I have Justice for all the emotional stuff? She gets me and doesn’t judge me for not being interested in more than a night or two with a woman.
We’re so similar in our love lives and we’ve never let anyone stand in the way of our friendship. Finding out she harbors a need for a baby? I did not see that one coming. When she asks me for help, I’m willing, but there’s no way a cup and a doctor is getting involved. Not when I can make my own deposits.
She thinks I’m going to give her what she needs and then go back to only being her best friend, but it’s not going to happen. The moment I experience all her curves in my hands, I know I’m a goner. I’m going to be giving her more than the two pink lines she wants for Christmas; I’m going to give her forever with me by her side.
