"Louis I don't know. I've never been a surrogate before."
"Please! You know how long I've waited for a kid. Do this for me. Your best friend since high school."
"She really can't have kids?"
"No! Her eggs aren't fertile enough. Just please it would make us both so happy."
"Fine! I mean it's just pregnancy right?" I say.
Hi I'm Kayla! You are probably wondering what's going on. Let me take you back.
Louis Tomlinson, the member of a now famous boyband, was my best friend in high school. I transferred my freshman year and he helped me find my way around the school and he became my first friend. We've been best friends since. Him and his wife, Grace,are wanting to have a baby but her eggs aren't fertile enough to have a baby. They've been together since I can't remember, and they are wanting to start a family now. Louis has come to me to be their surrogate because they want someone they can trust. And who else to trust than your best friend. The only thing Louis doesn't know is....I've had a thing for him since freshman year. That is the only reason I'm going through with this. And that he's always been there for me so I'm going to help him out.
"Thank you so much Kayla! I will help you in any way you need while you're pregnant. I can't repay you enough," Louis says.
"Yeah yeah. Anything for "Louis Tomlinson"," I air quote.
"Don't pull that shit on me. You know that pisses me off!"
"I know! That's why I did it," I smirk.
"So where do you want to do this? My house? Your house? My car?" Louis asks.
"That's not how a surrogate works," I giggle.
"Really? Man! I was hoping," he jokes.
"Suuuurrrrrrreeee you were."
"Seriously though, I'll get a date scheduled and we will get this done as soon as we can," Louis says.
"Ok."

"Don't worry. You won't feel a thing. It's a simple procedure. We will have you out of here in no time," the doctor says.
"Ok," I say, laying in a hospital gown in the procedure room.
"I'm going to go get everything and get my nurses assistant and we will get started," the doctor says, leaving the room.
"Aww Louis! I'm so excited baby," Grace says.
"Me too babe," Louis says, kissing Grace on the forehead.
I roll my eyes when he says "babe". I hate that word. I don't know what I hate about it, but it makes me cringe every time I hear it.
"Thank you so much Kayla. This means a lot to us," Grace says.
"You're welcome. Louis has been my friend forever, so when he begged I couldn't say no," I say.
"We really do appreciate this," Louis says.
"Alright," the doctor says walking in. "You ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be," I say.
The procedure doesn't take long at all and I never felt a thing. It's weird to think that they injected Louis' sperm into me. It's really freaky actually.
"Let's take you out for dinner," Grace says.
"Oh no I'm fine. You don't have to do that," I say.
"We really do. It's the least we can do since you're helping us out a lot," Louis says.
"No really, you don't have to. I was just going to go back to my apartment and order a pizza and watch some Halloween movies or something. It's honestly fine," I say.
"You sure?" Grace asks.
"Yeah. Just because I'm your guys' surrogate doesn't mean you have to buy me things or take me out for dinners. I'm doing this because knowing I'm making someone's life happy makes me happy," I say.
"Thanks Kayla. That means a lot," Louis says.
"No problem. But I'm going to head home ok."
Louis' POV
"Babe, we have to let her stay with us. Her little apartment isn't a good place for our surrogate to be pregnant at. It's all cramp and she is all by her self. What if something happens and she needs help? We can be here for her," I say, trying to beg Grace to let Kayla move in with us.
"I don't know. I mean I'm so glad she is doing this for us don't get me wrong, but I think she has a thing for you. And that bothers me," Grace says.
"No she doesn't! We've been friends forever. JUST FRIENDS," I plead. "You want this or not?"
"Fine I guess she can stay in our guess room, BUT I never want you two in the same room alone together," she says.
"Babe, no worries alright?"
"Alright!"
Kayla's POV
I put on my pajamas and red fuzzy socks, grab me a glass of wine, and turn on the TV. I put in my favorite Halloween movie, Friday the 13th, and decide to turn off the lights.
It would be nice to have some company here. I get lonely a lot. Especially when my one best friend has a wife he takes out all the time and my other best friend, Shaye, is dating Niall Horan from One Direction. Louis was actually the one who introduced them. Oh! And my friends, Charleen and Hayley, but they live in the States so I barely see them. It would just be nice to have SOMEONE here.
The doorbells rings and I know it's the pizza I ordered.
"$12.15," the pizza delivery guy says.
"Here. Keep that change."
"Thanks."
I grab my medium pepperoni pizza, Parmesan garlic twist, and cinnamon twist, and shut the door. Ok! Don't judge. I'll eat this for three days for dinner.
I sit down on the couch and press play on the movie.
**
When the movie is over and I've eaten all that I can, I put the leftovers in the fridge, turn off the TV and get ready for bed. It sucks what I have to do before I go to be. I have to take special medicine for high testosterone levels and I take A LOT of medicine. I have to brush and floss my teeth, and I mean I have to because of mouth surgery I'll be getting done in a month, then I can finally go to bed.
