Jo Leigh - The Cowboy Wants a Baby

He ignored the jab. He just grabbed a thick file from the sideboard. It had no markings on the outside, but she gathered it was his Child Bearer folder.

“This is the deal.” He didn’t open the file. He just looked her right in the eyes as he laid it out. “I don’t want a wife. I want a child. My child. The only reason a woman has to be involved at all is to bear the child and care for him until he’s old enough for me to tend him. I’ve decided to marry the woman I choose, but there will be no married life. I want my son to have every opportunity. And no strikes against him out of the gate.”

“And if it’s a daughter?”

“That’s okay, too. None of this is negotiable. Trust me, the financial arrangement will allow you to do all the writing you want. The only thing is, when the child is old enough, you leave.”

“What about visitation?”

He turned away for a moment, and she saw his jaw flex. “I haven’t decided about that yet.”

“Is it my turn?”

“Go ahead.”

“First, how do you plan on me conceiving this child?”

“I have a doctor lined up for in-vitro fertilization.”

“You’ll pay for everything? Insurance? Clothes?”

He nodded.

“What about spending money?”

“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll make sure you want for nothing.”

“No offense, but how do I know you have enough money to back up that offer? Your spread is no King Ranch.”
