today.”
    “ Yes. Of course. I’ll call the
clinic,” Roy said.
    Everything would have been fine if Roy didn’t get that call the
next day. It was from his sister Kate.
    “ Hey little brother,” Kate said.
    “ Hey. How are you?” Roy said into the
phone.
    “ We’re good. How’s Melissa?”
Kate asked.
    “ Good, good. Her business is taking off.”
    “ That’s good. I just spoke to
grand-dad. He’s going crazy since he retired. You really need
to go and see him,” Kate chided.
    “ I see him when I can. I keep him updated
every day. Don’t let the old man fool you. I’m surprised
he hasn’t tried to sneak in. Probably would if I didn’t
take his office,” Roy laughed.
    “ Must be great. I always loved the view. I
can’t believe dad and Mark just let you take it.”
    “ As do I Katie. Besides dad’s office
is three times as big. He’s not going anywhere. And I have
seniority over Mark,” Roy joked.
    “ You know he misses grandma. It’s only
been two years. Go see him.”
    “ I will,” Roy sighed.
    “ The children and I will be coming to visit
over spring break. Will we get to see you?” Kate asked.
    “ Yeah of course.”
    “ You know Roy, Mark is only twenty-two. From
the looks of it he’s not settling down anytime soon. Grand-dad
won’t be around forever and with me in Maine, he needs some
great grandkids to keep him busy. You and Melissa should really start
trying again. At least look into adoption.”
    “ Kate don’t start that again. I
already told you how she feels,” Roy said rubbing his jaw.
    “ Yes. I’ve heard. I don’t
understand it though. You’re the oldest son. Who is going to
carry on our family name? My children are Vaughns. Think about it.
And what about how you feel? I think Melissa is being very self
centered. Do you know how many children need a good home? I was just
telling Paul…”
    “ Hey Katie. Sorry, I have a client coming
in. I’ll call you this week okay? Love you sis,” Roy said
quickly, hanging up.
    He'd had this conversation with both Kate and his mother numerous
times. His sister and Melissa didn’t really get along that
well. They were cordial to one another for the sake of Roy. Kate who
had grown up as a southern belle could not understand why Melissa
would ever want to run her own business. He loved his sister dearly
but she was old fashioned. Kate Gardner had attended college with one
goal. To find a suitable husband. She had found that in her freshman
year when she started dating senior Paul Vaughn, from a well
connected family of lawyers. They were engaged Kate’s sophomore
year and married the next spring. Kate adored Paul but they did as
was expected of them both. She would never understand the
relationship between him and Melissa. How he loved her for her
ambition. How he was the one who had encouraged her to open her
company. Kate and his mother for that matter, couldn’t
understand why Roy, who had wanted a houseful of children, would let
a simple thing like infertility get in his way. He didn’t like
to dwell on it but sometimes he hated how his mother looked at
Melissa, something like disappointment in her eyes that she couldn’t
get pregnant.
    Melissa’s family was no different. Her older sister had the
perfect two children that were the apple of their grandfather’s
eye. Her younger brother’s wife was five months pregnant.
Sometimes Roy wondered what they could have done wrong to deserve
this. He didn’t blame Melissa, not in the least, but it made
zero sense to him that her siblings obviously had no problem
procreating.
    And so with Kate’s nagging voice occupying his mind for the
rest of the morning, Roy decided that he would take matters into his
own hands. It wasn’t like Melissa hadn’t already agreed,
he would just speed up the process a bit. He picked up his phone and
dialed his secretary.
    “ Carolyn, I need to take care of something
personal. I’ll be taking the rest of the day. Transfer all my
calls to my
