TWO YEARS AGO
"Mrs. Garrett, I'm sorry . . . I've run every test that I know of, and I'm afraid I can't come to any conclusive answer."
That was the
worst possible
thing Suzanna could have heard at that moment. When you
know
there's something wrong . . . when everything points to the inescapable fact that you are not physically well . . . the single most horrific thing a doctor can tell you is that they have no idea what's wrong with you.
She didn't know whether to burst into tears or scream with rage. Neither would help at this point, but either was fully appropriate.
"Are you certain that the problem isn't with your husband?" the doctor asked.
Suzanna shot him the coldest glare that she had ever given anyone in all her life. "Yes."
"Um . . . may I ask how you're certain, ma'am?"
Her eyes narrowed. "Because my husband fucks at least twenty women throughout a given month, and most of them have been pregnant since 'the problem' has begun."
The dumbstruck doctor stared in silence for nearly a full minute. "Oh . . . ." He adjusted his thick-framed glasses as he tried to regain his composure. "U-Um . . . well, I can attempt to defer this to more specialized medical expertsโ"
"Please do. Whatever it takes to fix me, I want it to happen."
"M-Mrs. Garrett, I don't think you, um, need fixโ"
"Doctor, for more than a full year, I have FAILED to give the one man that I love more than any other a child. In whatever world you've come from, that may not be a problem, but in
mine,
it is a BIG one. So don't you DARE try to tell me that I DON'T NEED FIXING!"
Again, the doctor fixed his glasses and turned away. "Um . . . o-okay, Mrs. Garrett. I'll . . . I'll go and schedule an appointment for you. And . . . um . . . m-my deepest apologies."
When the door closed, and she was alone, Suzanna's face dropped into her hands, and she finally let it all out. Her palms were stained with tears as she thought about the possibility that she could be sterile. She had never thought about it before in her entire life. For years, she'd had her entire life figured out. For years, she'd thought she finally had everything she wanted.
But that was before she'd met . . . and married . . . Barry Garrett.
Suzanna had once thought she would never give up being a porn actress. She loved being fucked, she loved attention, and she loved money . . . so it all seemed like a no-brainer. And since her husband was both the owner of the studio and fully approved of her occupation, it seemed like nothing would stand in the way of her dream.
But then, the porn freeze started. Stallion Productions was locked out of filming due to an STD outbreak, so that meant she was out of a job for a while. And in that time, she had nothing to do but sit around, relax, and tend to her empty, lonely home in Beverly Hills.
Oh sure, her husband lived there with herโsometimesโbut the rest of the time, he was traveling all over, visiting his other lovers . . . his submissives . . . and the children they'd borne for him. She always watched his eyes light up when he talked about his babies . . . how much they looked like him . . . how beautiful their mothers looked when pregnant . . . how they grew a little each time he saw them . . .
. . . And how
badly
he couldn't wait to see what the child his wife would give him would look like.
At first, she was perfectly fine with all of it. She loved Barry, and she loved making him happy. She would do anything in the world for him . . . anything that he asked. She would give him her body, her soul, her
life,
if she even
thought
he needed any of them. So after the freeze started, and she'd gotten her first taste of what life would be like without filming, she'd made up her mind.
