A Blip
Famke was in her bed in her apartment staring at the ceiling unable to sleep. Nyx was on the sofa and Bram was in his own room. Both of them were as mentally drained as she was. She wished she wasn’t feeling so heart sick, but she was. All she wanted was to hear from Royal to know Precious was settled down for now, but it was coming on eleven and there was no word from him.
She could have stayed in New York, but the truth was, she wasn’t sure how long Precious would need time to recover and the thought of sitting in a hotel room waiting by the phone instead of at her own home surrounded by her own comfort items felt necessary. She was currently wrapped up in the blanket her mother had made for her when she was a teenager.
She willed herself to sleep but it was not working and after a full hour of tossing and turning she sat up in the bed frustratedly. Normally when she was upset, she would putter around the house but with Nyx on the sofa she was stuck in he

The Surrogacy Secret A Statement
Famke was standing at the counter of the local police precinct and gave a polite smile to the man standing behind it. She looked around noting for the Boxing Day holiday it was busy. The place was hopping.“Hi. My name is Famke Noor. NYPD asked me to turn myself in this morning.”The man lifted an eyebrow. “It’s Boxing Day. It couldn’t wait until after the holiday. Did you kill someone?”“Nope. Punched an influencer in the face.”“You did it.”“Yes. Do you need to arrest me?”He typed on the keyboard in front of him. “Name?”“Famke Noor.” She tapped her foot worriedly as he searched his data base.“We were asked to take your statement and to have a discussion with you. I’ll have one of our detectives come meet with you. You can take a seat there.” He motioned to a row of wooden chairs against a wall.She sat
The Surrogacy Secret Truth
Royal sat with his niece in the psychiatrist’s office, his hands trembling with rage as he read the reports coming to him from Rico’s team. They were known to get information no matter the methods, but he didn’t care.Mindy had been incredibly ill. The lovers Mindy took were on a rotation as Jubi had found out. Mindy doctor shopped and had multiple physicians in New York, New Jersey, Pittsburgh and even in Boston. Rico’s men had managed to even get copies of clinical notes and there was evidence confirming Famke’s theory was plausible. At an appointment in January of this year, Mindy had told a psychologist she was certain her husband was having an affair with the woman they’d used as a surrogate. The clinical notes indicated Prince was part of the session and he’d denied it vehemently, but Mindy hadn’t been able to be discouraged. The doctor had recommended a seventy-two hour hold for her when Mindy also described a witch hexin
The Surrogacy Secret Therapy
Royal looked up as the physician came into the space. She wasn’t what he’d been expecting when he’d been told she was the best at working with trauma survivors. She was petite, with black glasses and her hair knotted at her nape but it was the crushed velour track suit which made him pause. She looked like she had just rolled out of bed. He started to question the recommendation he’d taken from the counsellor who had been seeing Precious all along.“Precious and Royal?” The woman spoke softly. “I’m Doctor Rivera. Please come on in.”He rose to his feet and called to Precious who was coloring at a table nearby. “Come on Precious,” He motioned for her to go.“No. I want to finish my picture.” She shot him an angry sideways glance. She’d been angry with him since she’d woken up after midnight, again at four and then at six.He took a breath, “Precious, I know you
The Surrogacy Secret Back to Work
Famke entered the coffee shop through the employee entrance and noted Cesar was working away. “Morning.”“Hi. You’re back!”“I am,” she sighed.“What’s wrong?”“Nothing.” She hung up her coat and looked up as Keshaun entered the room with a scowl on his face. “What?”“I heard a woman’s voice and thought you were Kara. I was coming to toss you out,” he inhaled sharply. “I didn’t think you’d actually come in this morning.”“You said you had work for me.” She paused, “you don’t?”“I have tons of work for you. It was quiet in here yesterday since it was Boxing Day but today it’s picking back up as people start moving again off their sofas and waking up from their turkey comas.” He tossed an apron at her, “you hear from Royal?”“H
The Surrogacy Secret Reunited
“What are you doing here?” Famke asked Royal. “Where’s Precious?”“Sleeping,” he motioned to the booth where her feet hung off the edge. “She fell asleep on the ride here and wouldn’t wake up when we arrived. She’s too tired.” He held his arms out, “come here.”She rushed into his arms, and he wrapped them around her tight and squeezed her, inhaling deeply of her hair and nuzzling her neck.She was vaguely aware of Nyx being yanked by Koda through the swinging doors of the coffee shop and the man telling Keshaun he was going to use his office for a bit. She fought the giggle as she snuggled against Royal’s chest.“I missed you, baby girl.”“I missed you too,” her eyes opened to look beyond him to the booth. Everything in her screamed to run and hold the child but fear of making Precious even more terrified than she already was, compelled her
The Surrogacy Secret Kara's Chaos
“What are you doing here, Royal,” Kara asked as she shot Famke an annoyed glance.“I’m with my family. You know, family. The thing you work hard to keep and support and love?” He paused dramatically, “oh wait, no you don’t. You put your lying, scheming friends ahead of your family.”“I didn’t know.”“Yes, you did.” Royal cut her off before she could finish. “Kara, my parents house is full of state-of-the-art security from when Jubi was threatened. You can’t take a piss in their house without it being recorded. Do you know what it heard?”She folded her hands over her forearms, crossing her arms defensively. “Nothing because I did nothing wrong.”“Liar, liar pants on fire,” Royal clicked his tongue reproachfully. “There is a very real conversation immediately before you and Ambrosia entered the house. Ambrosia told you, she w
The Surrogacy Secret Mommy Famke
The sound of crying made Famke look up from where she was preparing a coffee for a customer and saw Royal stop what he was doing to go to Precious who had still been sleeping in the booth. Nyx was sitting there with her, and Koda was sitting opposite Nyx, not saying anything but staring intently at his ex-employee.Famke tried to steady her thrumming heart as she finished the coffee and handed it to the waiting customer, and she was torn between making the next one or running to Precious. She was still terrified of the child’s reaction to her, despite Royal’s reassurances. She was holding her breath as she watched from the corner of her eye as Royal scooped her up from behind Nyx.“I want my Mommy!” Precious shrieked at the top of her lungs, drawing stares from the few people sitting in the café. Her eyes connected with Famke’s over the coffee machine, and she was squiggling out of Royal’s grasp. “Mommy!” She raced
The Surrogacy Secret Bram Doesn't Know Best
Famke entered her apartment and frowned at Bram sitting on the sofa with his headphones on and the video game console lighting up their television. She moved to stand in front of him and he leaned sideways to look at the screen as he pushed his headphones down.“Did you eat?”“Not yet. I was waiting for you.”“Royal and Precious are in town and they want to take us for dinner. Precious wants to go to the diner where I work.”He paused his game, the controller loosely in his grip as if annoyed she was in his way, “then go. You don’t need me with you.”The sharp tone made her head pull back, “What is wrong?”“Nothing.” He stared at her blankly.“Bram, I’ve known you your entire life. I can tell when you’re annoyed. What gives?”“They showed up today and suddenly all is well. He called you a couple of times after his family
