The Land Beyond All Dreams (26 page)

Rose cocked an eyebrow at me. “Your people don’t have that kind of magic.”

I shook my head. “Not to create a baby from two women, no. They needed some male genetic material, and I was the one they came to for a donation.”

“What kind of…oh.” Rose sat back on the bed, tapping her finger tips on her thigh. “Did you mate with Sharon?”

I laughed. “No, I got to do my part with a couple of magazines and a test tube. Right now there’s a mess of frozen fertilized eggs sitting in a lab somewhere, waiting to be implanted in Sharon as soon as she’s ready. Her doctor is worried about gestational diabetes, so she’s been losing weight and working out.” I pulled Rose close to me and kissed her. “I did a favor for two friends, and that’s all. I’ll have a place in the child’s life, but it won’t be as a parent. You have nothing to be jealous of.”

“I’m not jealous,” Rose said. “You gave them a wonderful gift, very like the one you’re giving me. How can I be jealous of that?” She kissed me and pushed me back down on the bed.

Something told me we were going to have to have a conversation about boundaries during working hours, or I was never going to get anything done.
