"I want a team of black doctors to help me through the pregnancy and to deliver the baby."

I look up at my fiancée and take off my reading glasses. "Ok. Did you have anyone in mind?"

"Well, they're in the States. I don't know if they'd come out here, but I'm willing to pay the fee. I want people who understand me and what I go through and who I am as a black woman, you know?" she questions as she sits in the chair on the other side of my desk.

"No I don't know because I'm not black or a woman, but I understand in a way. I want you as comfortable as possible and I want you and the baby healthy by the end of it. Ok? So I'll get you whatever you want. Send me their information and I'll give them a call. I'll pay for everything, don't you worry," I assure her

"You don't mind?" She questions and I furrow my eyebrows

"Why would I mind? I'm not you. I'm not carrying the baby. I don't make the decisions for your body. You know what makes you comfortable and what you need."

She stares and me for a second before saying, "Remind me to suck your dick later. I need to go pee and get some ice cream." I watch her get up and leave my office.

I chuckle and shake my head. That woman.

Adriana's only two months along. We went to an OBGYN and we don't like her and we've been trying to find a good-midwife that we can trust.

I've been going off of Adriana's word since she's the one who's pregnant. If she doesn't trust someone, she doesn't trust them.

My phone buzzes and it's a link from Adriana to the website of the team she wants.

I click on the link and find a phone number, deciding to give them a call.

"Hello, This is Black Women Who Birth, what can we do for you today?"

"Hi, I called to inquire about your services," I say

"Ask away," the feminine voice answers

"So my Fiancée found you guys. Not sure how, but she seems very pleased with your services and only wants black women during her pregnancy... Now I see that you guys are based in Florida. Are you able to travel?" I ask

"Depends on how far you are located? Where in the states are you?" she asks

"That's the thing—" I chuckle "—We live in Toronto... Canada. And you know what, if it's a problem in any way we are willing to pay for anything and I mean anything. Flights, equipment, Air BnB. Anything," I say

"You seem very ambitious, which a lot of men aren't when it comes to hiring us. What's your Fiancée's name?" she asks

"Adriana. She's 2 month and 2 days. She wants an at home birth," I say

"Alright and is this your first child?"

"No. First pregnancy, yes," I answer

"I'll speak with my boss and see what the final decision is. We never turn down expecting mothers and we have a big enough team for us to come to Canada and still provide services in the US. But numbers are crazy so we'll give you a call as soon as we get a number," she says

"Alright." I give her a number to call and my email along with my name. She seems very sure that they'll be able to provide us services but she has to go by her bosses word.

I'm not sure how much it costs to give birth to a child in Canada. I know it's a stupid amount in the states. But I'll go in debt as long as I know my fiancée and future child are healthy.
