real.
    Staring out into the garden, Diana tried to figure out how her life
had gotten to this point. Sure, being a surrogate was a blessing for
a potential parent that was physically unable to bear children, but
it was a concept Diana never thought of before she needed the money.
    Diana never envisioned herself as the type that would do things
because of the money. She wanted to make sure her priorities did not
get out of line. There was much she wanted out of life and she did
not want one little thing like losing her job and her livelihood to
derail that.
    But she was starting to think maybe Teresa was right. Maybe there was
something there with Clay. There had to be something to learn from
the entire experience. Clay was a smart businessman with many
connections. There was no way she should walk away from the situation
without having collected something. She wanted more in her life and
she wanted, most of all, to make sure she had some type of financial
security so she was never in this predicament again.
    Waiting was killing her. Diana had never been the most patient woman
in the world, but she would have to wait to see if she was pregnant.
It would take a few weeks to see if the procedure was successful. In
the meanwhile, Charlotte made it clear that Diana was to stay on her
exercise and diet regimen. The woman was sweet but no nonsense when
it came to business.
    Most people would not complain about being able to be kept in a
mansion with people waiting on her hand and foot. Most would not
complain about the ability to be able to have all of her expenses
paid for. And Diana was not complaining about those things either.
She just wanted one other thing to make her life complete.
    Love.
    It was not a subject she had even truly given much thought to until
she met Clay. She spent most of her time working and not giving
herself time to start or nurture a relationship. Love was such a
foreign concept for her. Seeing lovers out strolling hand in hand,
kissing, staring into each other's eyes made her think she could one
day have that type of love too. She had not seen that in her own home
growing up. Her father had done the best he could to raise a young
girl on his own. Diana remembered the perpetual look of mourning he
wore on his face after her mother died. It was like he never got over
losing the love of his life.
    Diana never wanted to feel like that. A few years ago, it dawned on
her that maybe she did not seek love in attempts to avoid it so she
would never know what it was like to lose someone. She watched the
lights dim in his eyes when her mother passed away and now with him
living in a nursing home, she felt her own sense of loss. She did not
want to endure the loss of having love, feeling love, and then having
it snatched away from her.
    Somewhere along the lines, she supposed that not having love at all
was better than having it and losing it. So far, that kind of
thinking had served her well. It kept her heart protected. She
thought maybe she could have a shot at love later in life, when
things settled financially and she had her career in line. It was
something she continued to push to the back of her mind, but now that
she was a surrogate, ready to bring life into the world. That had to
count for something. And then there was Clay. He was, for all intents
and purposes, the kind of man she should go for, but with the current
situation at hand, that would make for an improper opportunity to
seek love.
    She squeezed the pillow closer to her. The only thing she would be
doing now would be to do as she was asked and put everything on hold
to ensure she brought a healthy baby in to the world. Love would once
again have to wait.
    *****
    Another month and another negative pregnancy test. The first had been
a false positive, this one was just plain negative. Diana was
starting to feel frustrated. She had not thought about what would
happen if it was hard to get pregnant. Getting pregnant was not
something she had ever tried
