I hope you enjoy this twisted tale of an Uncle and his Niece. This story was inspired by my favorite muse, Jen. We think it's a great story. The End is a little abrupt but nothing lasts forever...right?

"She'll never go for it," Ben stated, firmly.
"I'm going to ask her today. She loves us," Kay replied. "She would do anything for us."
Ben held his tongue. He wanted to tell his wife that their niece Jen, didn't like him. What was the point of hurting his wife's feelings though, when she was lying there sick and possibly dying? The doctors still didn't know if she'd pull through.
"I don't know Kay," he said squeezing his wife's hand. "Ask her, okay? If she says yes, I'm okay with it."
"Thanks honey," she said, fighting back tears.
They both wanted a child badly and now Kay would be unable to, even if she lived. She wanted her niece, Jen to surrogate for her. It was becoming an obsession for her. She had to give her husband a baby, and this was the only way. It would work with in vitro fertilization. They had already taken and frozen some of her eggs and Ben's sperm.
"Listen," Ben started. "Find Jen and talk to her and let me know what she says. You need some sleep." He kissed her on the cheek and then left for work.
Jen had just come home from shopping. Even though she was twenty-one, she still lived with her parents while attending State University. She was in her room admiring the new bikini that she had bought for the family vacation. It was a perfect little green and white striped swimsuit that was sure to get her a lot of attention on the beach. It showed off her flat stomach and perky breasts. She spun around admiring how it looked on her cute, round ass as well.
There was a knock on her bedroom door. "Come in,"
Jen's mother walked in. "Cute swimsuit. A little small, but...nevermind. It's perfect."
"Thanks, mom,"
"Hey, Aunt Kay called, and wants you to go over and talk."
"Oh, okay, I'll get dressed and go over. I forgot, I was supposed to help her today."
"It wasn't about that...it. She'll have to tell you," her mother was actually tearing up.
"Are you okay, mom?"
"Yeah, just go see Kay. I'm fine." Then she left the room. Jen was getting a bad feeling about this. She knew Kay was really sick, but had thought she was getting better.
Jen dressed, and headed over to her mom's sister's house. When she got there she noticed that Uncle Ben's truck wasn't in the driveway. That was good, she never really liked him anyway.
Aunt Kay opened the door before Jen had a chance to knock.
"I saw you pull up. Come in." She pulled Jen into a tight embrace
.
"How are you doing?" Jen asked.
"Better this week. Have a seat."
"You're making me nervous, Aunt Kay."
"I'm sorry. You're the only person I really trust to do what I'm about to ask. Don't feel pressured or like you have to do it, because I'm sick or anything."
"Anything, Aunt Kay. You can ask me anything. You're like my second mom. You always have been."
"...and you're like the daughter we never had and...that's what I want to ask you."
"What?" The suspense was killing Jen.
"We want you to surrogate for me. We want you to carry the child with my eggs and Ben's sperm. We'll pay you $20,000."
Jen was shocked. She sat there staring at her Aunt Kay. She now knew why her mom was close to crying earlier.
Kay reached over and grabbed her niece's hand. "It's okay to say no. Take time to think about it."
Jen already knew her answer though. She would do anything for her Aunt, even this. The money was enough to help her with a new car and college. Jen was mentally tough and nothing was more important than family. She would do this.
"Yes!" Jen exclaimed. "Of course I'll do it."
They both broke down in tears hugging each other. Kay explained the process and that she'd need to work with her Uncle Ben. Ben knew all the details.
"I need to get back to bed. You don't know how happy you've made us though."
Jen left contemplating her choice and what Aunt Kay had said. Jen wasn't doing it to make 'them' happy; she was doing it to make Aunt Kay happy. Ben had always made Jen's skin crawl. As far as she was concerned he was a creepy, nasty, uncouth slob. His eyes always seemed to linger too long on her during family barbeques and picnics. His sense of humor was usually mean and he was fat and dirty most of the time. Jen sighed. She wouldn't really have to deal with him much. She'd read up on taking care of herself during pregnancy and the procedure involved. She'd barely even need to communicate with him. Making Aunt Kay happy and putting $20,000 in her bank account were going to make dealing with him tolerable at least.
The next day she had agreed to meet Uncle Ben for coffee, sign some paperwork and schedule the procedure.
Uncle Ben was already seated at a table in the corner. Jen waved at him and ordered a pumpkin spice latte.
"Thanks for doing this, Jen," he said in greeting. "You've made Aunt Kay's whole world change. Where there was despair, now there is hope. She's totally different, Jen."
"I'd do anything for Aunt Kay. You know that."
"I do," he said, a small smile appearing on his face.
"What do I sign, and when's the procedure?"
