The Billionaire's Baby Mama

{Carlos}

*California*

A City, full of life and adventures. I grew up in this City. My whole life has been in this city. Though I have been to other cities and I have my companies set in other states. I just cannot bring myself to leave this city.

My whole family stays here except my sister who lives in Atlanta.

Though we are not the best family, we do all we can to stay close to each other and stay happy.

Though we look like a happy and perfect family from a distance. However, we have our share of... you know... Ups and Downs.. and Pain.

I come from a family of four. I am the Middle child. I've got a big sister Camila and a little sister Chloe.

Even though, I'm just a few minutes older than Chloe. She remains my little sister.

We are the Clays.

My Dad, Kevin Clay owns the largest Aviation Company In the U.S.

My Mom Cynthia Clay was a model before marriage and became a full housewife after having me and Chloe.

The Family has businesses ranging in different sectors starting from Construction, Medicals, Education, Aviation, and Entertainment. It's a large Conglomerate. Mostly referred to as the 'Clay's Empire.'

We Clays are mostly recognized by our Auburn hair which we all got from our Mom and brown eyes like our Dad's but mine is somewhat different. I got Amber orbs like my Mom's.

We Clay Male are Mostly known for our stoic and stern expressions especially when we're at work.

Our motto is '"No Joking or Lazing around.''

I hate Smiles and laughter. For some reason it makes me...." I don't know... Uncomfortable.

I get goosebumps when I get too close to laughter.

I sound weird, right?

Well, that's me. The black sheep of the Clay family. "Carlos Clay."

I have always been different. Even as a child I enjoy keeping to myself and I love doing my things. The only person I'm close with is my sister Chloe and I think that is because we're twins.

Like I said, I enjoy doing my things. which was why I chose differently.

Though, I work in Clay Empire. Just to keep the legacy going and those weird things dad keeps saying.

However, I run my personal business. I run a Cleaning Company called C.C

Funny, right?

Well, don't blame me. I was always a clean freak even as a child. So growing up I thought to make a living out of it.

Clean and Clear was something I started out of habit.

I couldn't bare to see a light speck of dust anywhere around me or in the estate So I started to hire people to clean various sections of the estate and then boom!

One day I got this crazy idea.

"Why don't I make the United States a better place? A place free from dirt. A clean place with clear surroundings and that's how C.C (Clean and Clear) came to be.

To my utmost surprise, people took the idea well and patronized the company, and gradually C.C became the top leading cleaning agency in the States.

My dad wasn't happy with it at first but when I promised to always be at Clay's Empire For four working days, he agreed.

So, I get to work in my own company C.C only on Fridays. While I work at my dad's company during the rest of the week.

Stressful isn't it?

Well, I have always been a workaholic.

I can be myself only when I'm working.

This has been my life which I enjoyed and thanks to my strange ailment, I don't have to be around too many people.

My Life was so boring. Such that there was never any fun to it.

No Friends. No Lover.

My life evolves only around work, work and work until during our last family dinner.

My Mom was really mad at me during the family dinner, she was spitting fire at me.

We, Brown, choose every weekend to gather and have dinner as a family to help keep Chloe happy.

Chloe was diagnosed with leukemia and a bone marrow transplant was needed for her. However, no family member's bone marrow is a match for her so the doctor advised that a baby fathered by me will be a match for her.

However, I don't know how long it will take for me to father a child if I am so allergic to women.

As we sat at the dining table mom began, "Carlos, Son, What is going on with you?"

"Huh?

I raised my head and tried to understand the meaning behind mom's question.

"Look around here, Stan, what do you think is missing? Mom spoke with displeasure.

I look around and found nothing missing. I look back at mom and shrugged

"Nothing."

"This family is incomplete! Mom yelled.

"Oh..." I mumbled quietly. I look around and I realized that she was right.

Camila my elder sister is happily married with no child. My twin sister Chloe is Married with no kids and she is on her sick bed.

If only she had a child then she would probably be hale and hearty by now because we would have bone marrow for her but she didn't have a child and Camilla has been unable to have a child since she was married.

So I was the last straw hope we have to help Chloe survive but I still haven't found a woman.

So Mom wanted to know what was going on with me. She even asked if I have erectile dysfunction. Which I know is not possible because I get an Erection every morning when I wake up.

"What's the problem with you, Carl? Mom asks after dinner.

I had tried everything possible to evade her questions until now. But now, I know there's no escape.

"Don't you want to have someone who carries on your legacy?

"Oh No, Not this Legacy talk again. I prayed silently. I am so fed up with having those legacy discussions

"I haven't found the right person, I said dryly.

"Don't you wish to save your sister?

"Of course, I do."

I sighed as I recalled that this is all for Chloe.

"Then why haven't you done the needful?

"I haven't found the right person," I grumbled.

"Haven't you? Mom asks, Sarcasm evident in her tone.

"Yes," I replied, ignoring the sarcastic remark.

"How would you find anyone if you don't even go out with anyone? Mom fussed.

I remained quiet because I truly do not have a word to refute her.

I just hate the idea of going out with ladies.

"You will get yourself a woman before June or I am setting you up with Madelyn!"

Mom declared, leaving no room for negotiation.

"But...Mom, I don't want to!"

"Why not? Mom retorted.

"I don't want her," I hissed.

"Then why aren't you getting a spouse? or worse bring me a child? Mom barked.

"I don't want to get married," I deadpanned.

"Why? Mom demanded.

"I don't know... I mean nothing." I paused seeing mom glare at me. "I just do not like the idea of marriage.

"It's sickening," I grimaced at the thought of marriage.

"Marriage is sickening? Mom scoffed in surprise.

"Okay," I heard my mom's response and I was about to heave a sigh in relief until I heard her say,

"Then get a child!

"What?! I exclaimed in shock. "How do I get a child without a woman?

Mom ignored my question and continued ranting.

"If you can't get married, Fine! I'll buy your sick and weird ideology on that but I also want a child from you ASAP And I don't care how you do it!

"Mom! How is that possible? I hissed.

"I don't care if you get a whore. Get her pregnant! Pay her off or whatever you do. Just bring me a child, Carl. Bring me a child!

Mom wasn't ready to back down on this either.

I wish I could show her how much effort I'm making to get a donor for Chloe.

"Mom! That's Ridiculous!

"Is it? She raised her eyebrow at me.

"I can't do that," I grimaced at the thought of sleeping with a whore.

A fucking Whore!

Who gives their kid such advice?

"Mom, I will ......."

Mom stood up and walked away before I could speak. She turned around and shot me a glare.

"Bring me your child this Christmas or get ready to marry Maddy."

{Amy's Pov}

I arrived at school a little late today because I had to accompany Nathan to the hospital. His sickness was getting worse and he needs to get his operation done as soon as possible.

Nathan is the only family I have left and I am willing to do anything to save his life.

I have always been alone all my life. I wandered around the streets as an orphan. I didn't know who my parents were or how I came into this world. I only know that I have been sleeping by the roadside since I could remember.

I begged around for money to feed until Henry Jeurgens found me one day and brought me home when I was twelve. He completed every formality and adopted me into his family. He gave me a name and a home. A debt I can never repay even if I offer my life.

He called me Amy because I was his beloved. I have purple eyes which is very rare and makes me stand out as Dad would always say. Henry was the father I never had and his wife Sandra was the mother I never had.

They accepted me into their family and treated me like their eldest daughter and they raised me along with their ten years old daughter.

Nathan Jeurgens accepted me as his elder sister. And We do everything together, from going to the same school to sleeping in the same room despite being of different genders.

We are best friends.

We were a perfect family, Until five years ago.

Everything changed when Henry met with an accident and died. Sandra got a Heart Attack and died on the same day.

We were left with nothing but the house we lived but we had to sell it to feed and also to help Nathan through school.

I took on all sorts of jobs to help us survive. I was lucky to get a scholarship to study Business Law at Sam Houston State University but Nathan Suddenly became sick and was diagnosed to have a failing kidney.

Nathan's condition was worsening and there was no way I could get the amount required for his operation despite taking several jobs.

After today's visit to the hospital, I knew I had to arrange the money real fast. I have to find a way to get $100000. But How?

I was lost in thought that I didn't notice a car park beside me.

Yo! Amy! how are you doing? Troy called from inside his car. He stopped his Ferrari Purosangue beside me and brought out his hand through the window.

"You got my stuff?

Troy Campbell or Troyce as he likes to be called, is my classmate and his parents are quite rich. However, Andy finds it hard to do his homework. So I do his homework and I get paid for it.

"Yeah. I'm done with it," I said, handing him his notebook and He gave me 200 bucks.

"Thanks," I muttered and turned to leave but I stopped again at Troy's call.

"Amy, did you think about my offer?"

"Thanks again, Troy, but I think I'll have to pass on that offer. I'd rather stick to doing your assignments," I smiled.

"Are you rejecting me? Andy asked with a smirk.

"No, Troy," I took his hand and flashed a smile.

He nodded and I could see that he was hurt by my rejection so I leaned closer to the window and placed my hand on his shoulder.

"Believe me, Troy, I am not rejecting you. But I just really don't want anything to do with relationships."

"We're friends already, right? Let's remain friends, please."

He nodded and smiled but I could see that it was forced.

"It's okay Hon."

"I don't mind being your friend now but soon, Amy, I'll make you change your mind."

"Look, Troy ...... I.."

"Take care, Hon," Troy waved and he immediately drove off.

"Poor Troy," I sighed as I walked out of school.

Though I felt bad for rejecting him every time but the last thing I need now is to have my heart disturbed by love. I have a lot to worry about and I wouldn't like to add love to the list.

I arrived at the bus stand awaiting the bus but I noticed that two ladies were also waiting for the bus. They had heavy make-up on their faces and they were chatting loudly about some movie.

However, what caught my attention was the mention of money and I heard them talk about Surrogacy.

Lady 1: "Do you think it's good to be a Surrogate?"

Lady 2: "Yeah, It's not bad, but I cannot do it. I mean, why would I give my baby to someone else?"

Lady 1: "It helps bring a smile to other people's faces. It gives them a shot at being parents too. and I heard that surrogates get handsomely paid."

Lady 2: "Yeah. I heard that they are well paid. In fact, my co-worker became a Surrogate for a family and got $50000 as an advance payment and she will get $100K after delivering the baby."

Lady 1: "That's right. I've also heard they pay monthly for feeding and housing Or even get the surrogate an apartment."

Lady 2: "Yes, that's true and It's nice. But I am too emotional to do such a thing. What if I refuse to give the baby after delivering?"

They both laughed at the comment.

They hopped onto the bus as it arrived at the bus stop. Their discussion ended as they got into the bus. I was also waiting for the same bus so I got on too. However, the ladies didn't talk about surrogacy anymore.

Surrogacy? $100000! I repeated to myself.

Could this be the answer to my prayers?

I thought to myself and I immediately brought out my phone to find out more about Surrogacy. After reading and understanding everything about surrogacy, I found an agency and immediately registered to be a surrogate.

I was overjoyed by this step and I was happy to tell Nathan of my discovery but I found Nathan lying on the couch. He was looking very weak. His face was pale and his lips were cracked. He was sweating profusely despite the small air conditioner in the living room.

His legs were swollen and my heart shatter for him. I became even more determined to go through with the surrogacy as that was my only hope of getting money and with enough money, I can get Nathan treated.

Every reservation dissipated at the sight of Nathan. I can't stand seeing him in such a state.

"I want my energetic Nathan back!"

{Stan's Pov}

It's Mid June and mom already spoke to the Rays to invite them to dinner. She already knew I wouldn't find a woman or bring home a child, so she decided on getting me married to Jennifer Ray.

She called me and asked me to come home to the Browns Estate to meet the Rays. She didn't forget to remind me to come early so as not to keep them waiting.

"Hmph! How frustrating!

The Rays Used to Live close to the Browns Estate. Though they are not extremely wealthy as us Brown but they are well to do enough to come 5th in Rank while We stayed at the top of the Chain.

Jennifer was Tanya's friend and would often visit the estate. I never liked her because she talks too much and I always avoid her like plague because she smiles too much when she's around me.

How am I supposed to marry someone I do not even like?

I mean, not even in the slightest.

I must do something about this! I thought.

I know there's no escaping this marriage and the only way I can escape mom's tantrums is to choose. Either I have a child and still enjoy my freedom or I get tied to a Marriage with Jennifer.

And If you ask me, I think the former is better.

Thanks to My Assistant Austin, I got to know that I could have a child without having to impregnate a whore or sleep with anyone.

He told me about surrogacy and Linked me up with a top agency. But due to my reservations, I hadn't proceeded further.

I made a mental note to contact them after the so-called dinner.

Though I'd rather avoid this dinner and be at home. However, I know how dramatic my mom can get. So I just decided to go.

I left work early and asked my chauffeur to drive straight to The Brown's Estate. The road was less congested so we arrived early. I got out of the car straighten my suit and buttoned it before going in. I could already hear loud Laughter as soon as I walk in.

"Eww! I grimaced.

"Fuck!

Now I have to endure all this laughter!

I Entered the Living room and saw my whole family gathered, even Tanya was present.

"Wow! It's a full house." I commented before hugging my mom.

Tanya also came to me for a hug. I laugh at her Childishness. She still behaves like a child. Sometimes, I wonder how she gave birth to her baby girl when she remains a baby.

Then, My eyes caught Jennifer, she was smiling sheepishly and wouldn't stop staring at me. Her gaze follows me around the room so I decided to greet her.

"Hi, Jennifer." I greet and she gave me that smile I hate so much.

"Eww."

I turn away from her and went to sit beside my dad.

"So. what do you think? My dad asks me as soon as I sat beside him, with his voice a little hushed so that only I could hear him.

"Dad I don't Like her! I whispered.

"You don't have to like her before the marriage. You will learn to like and slowly love her after marriage."

I look at my dad and grimaced. Then I shook my head in disgust.

"Learn to what?

"Dad! I'd rather learn to farm than learn to love!

Especially, when it's a girl like Jennifer!

I gave my dad a disappointed look. "Dad please, spare me that bullshit!

"Stan, Son, I know you don't like all this." My dad said, going into his serious mode. "But I want you to know that whatever your mom is doing, is for your well-being. You aren't getting any younger."

Dad's gaze went towards Tanya and he continued. "Even your twin is already happily married with a beautiful daughter and is expecting her second child. Yet you don't even have a girlfriend."

My dad placed his hand on my shoulder "Your mom is concerned about you Son, and so am I."

"I know, dad," I replied feeling bad about being the black sheep of the family. I know both my parents are worried about me especially since I act differently from the others. But I just can't help it. It's how I feel. Whenever I try getting too close to any woman, I get goosebumps Or worse Cold.

"What to do?

I have been to numerous doctors all around the world, but they all find my case to be strange. I have a disease that has never been registered in history.

"Don't worry dear, you'll do fine with Jenny. I heard my dad say from beside me, startling me back to my senses.

What?

"Dad! Please! Anyone but her!"

"Why?"

"I just..."

What are you both whispering about? My mom asks standing before me. She was holding Tyler's Son, {Junior}.

When did she get here? I wondered. I guess we were too engrossed in the conversation that we didn't notice when she came close to us.

"Nothing," I said and my dad nods in agreement.

Junior smiles at me and for once I wasn't repulsed. which makes me wonder why I don't get a reaction from my family's smiles or Laughter.

Strange isn't it? I always wonder why too.

Junior has all of my dad's features that's why he was named Taylor after my dad.

Junior was saying something to my mom and she squatted in front of him, she was smiling happily at whatever Junior just whispered to her. Mia also joined and they were chatting about something I couldn't hear.

Seeing my mom so happy with Mia and Junior, I made a decision then and there that I must find a way through this. I want to make her happy too. Even if I have to sacrifice myself for it to happen.

The Maids Soon came to tell us that dinner was ready and we all went to the dining room. I know the discussion about the marriage will be discussed during or after dinner, so I braced myself as I approach the dining table.

The Rays also followed us to the table and I could see Jenny blushing as her eyes made contact with mine.

"Can she ever stop acting so Coy?

It's why I don't like her and also why there will be No Marriage between us.
