Benny, who had become a swap surrogate and wet nurse because he desperately needed the money, looked down at the large baby bump in front of him. Not for the first time since signing the contract, he regretted his decision.
Becoming a swap surrogate had sounded simple enough on paper. The generous pay would solve his financial problems, and the first few months of pregnancy had even held a strange novelty. There had been moments he had almost enjoyed the experience.
But as his pregnancy progressed, the novelty disappeared. Every passing week brought new aches, discomfort, and exhaustion. His growing belly made even the simplest tasks difficult, sleep became a constant struggle, and the reality of carrying a child weighed on both his Body and mind.
Now, with the due date fast approaching, a new fear overshadowed everything else. Giving birth terrified him.
