My Brother's Baby

Judge Megan Royce stood in her chambers wondering how things had gotten so out of control. Six months earlier her life had been in perfect order…just as she had meticulously planned. That was before her brother and his wife requested that she be a surrogate mother for them. Unable to deny her brother anything, she begrudgingly agreed. Now, as she stands in front of a full-length mirror, she knows that her life has somehow taken a very different turn. Now everything is upside down; her job is in turmoil and her love life strained. Having never been one to want children of her own, she believed it would be easy to give up the life within. But as the months wear on, and the impending birth nears, she begins to feel the increasing torture of giving up the precious miracle growing inside…even for the brother she so dearly loves.
