Surrogate Sister Has Brothers Baby, She Changes Her Mind Mid Term

New To This

She sat by the window, staring out at the drizzling rain. The sound of raindrops against the glass was a cruel reminder of the tears she’d shed over the years.

After endless doctor appointments and countless heartbreaks, she had almost given up on the dream of becoming a mother.

That was until her supportive husband came up with a hopeful but unconventional solution. But would he be able to pull it off?

First Time Parents

Linda and Peter lived a quiet life in Green Oaks California. They had been trying to have a baby for seven years, but Linda had complications and always miscarried.

“Linda, I’ve been thinking,” Peter said one evening, his voice cautious yet determined. “What if we asked Sarah to be our surrogate? She’s already had children and she might be willing to help us.”

Linda’s heart skipped a beat. Sarah, Peter’s younger sister, had always been close to them. The idea was both thrilling and terrifying. Could they really ask her to carry their child?

Desperate To Conceive

One evening, 42-year-old Peter received a call from Sarah. His face turned pale as he listened, and Linda’s heart sank.

After he hung up, Peter turned to her, eyes filled with a sorrowful dread. “Sarah wants to talk,” he said. “She’s coming over tonight.”

The doorbell rang, and Linda’s stomach twisted with anxiety. Sarah walked in, looking troubled. She sat down and took a deep breath, avoiding Linda’s gaze. What was her decision?

The Sister-In-Law

They invited Sarah over for dinner. The conversation was careful, laden with the importance of their request.

45-year-old Sarah listened intently, her face a mix of surprise and contemplation. After a long pause, she finally spoke.

“I’d be honored to help you both,” Sarah said, tears welling in her eyes. “Family means everything to me, and if I can give you the gift of a child, I will.” But the couple had no idea just how much they were asking of Sarah.

Here We Go Then

The anxious couple started making arrangements to conduct the IVF process. One afternoon, Linda received a letter from Sarah. Her hands trembled as she opened it.

“Linda and Peter,” the letter began, “I know I’ve caused you so much pain, and I can’t apologize enough. I need time to think about everything. I hope you can understand.”

Linda read the letter over and over, trying to find some semblance of hope in Sarah’s words. But each read-only deepened her despair. She could sense that Sarah was going to be demanding.

The IVF Process

Linda had always dreamed of becoming a mother. When she and her husband Peter found out they couldn’t conceive, it felt like their world was crashing down. But Peter, ever the optimist, suggested they ask his sister Sarah to be their surrogate.

Sarah had two children of her own and understood the joys of motherhood. After some deliberation, Sarah agreed.
The months that followed were filled with cautious optimism. Sarah became pregnant through IVF, and Linda was over the moon. She attended every doctor’s appointment, felt every flutter through Sarah’s belly, and decorated the nursery with boundless joy.

The First Trimester

The first few months of the pregnancy went smoothly. Linda and Peter attended all the appointments with Sarah, marveling at every sonogram, every heartbeat. Linda’s excitement grew with each passing day, her dreams of motherhood finally coming into focus.

One warm afternoon, Linda and Peter took Sarah to a routine checkup. As they left the clinic, Sarah casually mentioned, “You know, I’ve been feeling so connected to this baby. It’s like she’s already a part of me.”

Linda and Peter accompanied Sarah to Dr. Collins, their gynecologist, who was pleased with the baby’s development. “Everything looks perfect,” she said, handing Linda a printout of the latest sonogram. Linda couldn’t help but imagine holding her baby girl in a few short months.

The Second Trimester

As the pregnancy progressed, Linda noticed subtle changes in Sarah’s behavior. She became more protective of her growing belly, often rubbing it absentmindedly and referring to the baby as “my little girl.”

Linda tried to dismiss these moments, attributing them to natural maternal instincts. But deep down, a seed of worry took root.

Linda smiled warmly. “That’s wonderful, Sarah. It’s amazing to see you bond with her.” Peter nodded. “We can’t thank you enough for this gift.”

Her Baby

As the months progressed, Sarah’s comments became more frequent and more intense. She started decorating a nursery in her home, buying baby clothes, and talking about the baby as if she were her own.

Linda and Peter thought it was a harmless way for Sarah to cope with the emotional and physical challenges of being a surrogate.

Five months into the pregnancy, however, something changed. Sarah became increasingly distant, avoiding Linda’s calls and skipping appointments. Peter tried to reassure Linda, but worry gnawed at her constantly.

Sarah Says

The couple were highly concerned about Sarah’s changing moods. One minute she was nice to them, the next she was making her own decisions for the baby.

One evening, while having dinner together, Sarah dropped a bombshell. “I’ve been thinking,” she said, “I want to keep the baby.”

The room fell silent. Linda’s fork clattered onto her plate. “What do you mean?” she asked, her voice trembling. This was the last thing she expected.

Changing Her Mind

Peter tried to calm her down. “I’m sorry,” Sarah replied, her eyes filling with tears. “I can’t give her up. She’s mine.”

The couple’s worst nightmare had come true. “I can’t do this,” Sarah said, her voice trembling. “I thought I could, but it’s too hard. I’ve bonded with the baby, and I can’t give him up.”

Linda’s world shattered at that moment. “Sarah, please,” she pleaded. “We’ve waited so long for this.” Would they be able to convince the sly sister-in-law?

Crocodile Tears

Tears streamed down Sarah’s face. “I’m so sorry, Linda. I just can’t. I never imagined it would be this difficult.” She changed her mind.

Peter tried to mediate. “Sarah, we understand it’s hard, but we’re counting on you. This is our child.”

Sarah shook her head, sobbing uncontrollably. “I can’t do it. I love you both, but I can’t go through with this.” The couple had no idea how much trouble Sarah was going to cause for them.

You Signed Here

Peter was incredulous. “Sarah, we have a contract. You’ve agreed to be our surrogate.” He searched for a document somewhere.

He tried to talk some sense into his sister. “What about your husband? What does he have to say about this?”

Sarah’s face hardened. “I know what I signed, but I can’t help how I feel. This baby is a part of me.” Peter made a huge mistake in asking his sister, he was regretting it.

It’s Different Now

Linda’s heart pounded. “We’ve been preparing for months, Sarah. This baby is supposed to be ours.” She pointed to the new baby crib in the corner.

Sarah stood up, shaking her head. “I’m sorry. I really am, but I can’t do it.” She paced up and down nervously.

The room fell into a heavy silence, broken only by the sound of Sarah’s quiet weeping. Linda felt as if the floor had fallen from beneath her. Her dream of motherhood was slipping away.

Playing Games

Days turned into weeks, and the situation grew more complicated. Lawyers were involved, and emotions ran high. Linda tried to reason with Sarah, but every conversation ended in heartbreak.

One night, as Linda sat in the empty nursery, she cradled a tiny onesie in her hands. Peter entered quietly, sitting beside her.

“She’s playing games with us Peter!” she cried. “We’ll figure this out,” he said softly. “We have to believe that.” But they had no idea that the worst was yet to come.

Listen To Me

Peter spoke from a legal point of view and he believed that his sister would change her mind. “We will convince her,” she said.

“But what if we don’t?” Linda whispered, tears brimming in her eyes. “What if this is the end of our dream?”

Peter held her close, his silence speaking volumes. They were caught in an impossible situation, and hope seemed to be slipping away with each passing day. His child’s life was in his sisters’ hands.

Keeping Strong

Sarah’s pregnancy continued, and with it, the emotional distance between her and the Andersons grew. Linda felt helpless, watching the woman who was supposed to be her savior transform into her adversary.

The due date drew closer, and Linda felt as if she were living a nightmare. The joy that once filled her was replaced with dread and uncertainty.

She couldn’t bear the thought of losing the baby she had come to love so dearly, even though it was still in Sarah’s womb. But Sarah was playing a dangerous game with the baby’s life.

Seeking Advice

Desperate, Linda and Peter sought the advice of their gynecologist and a counselor. Both professionals were clear: legally, Sarah was obligated to follow through.

They urged Sarah to reconsider, explaining how much Linda and Peter had invested emotionally and financially.

But Sarah was resolute. “I don’t care about the money,” she said, tearing up the contract in front of them. “I want to be her mother.” Things were getting worse between them.

Touch And Go

Linda felt like she was in a nightmare. “Sarah, you’re being selfish and immature. This isn’t right.”

Sarah’s eyes blazed. “I think I’m doing what’s best for the baby. I can give her a better life.” She was rude and adamant.

The days that followed were torturous for Linda and Peter. They tried everything: reason, guilt, even legal threats. But Sarah was immovable, her attachment to the unborn child growing stronger with each day.

One On One

One evening, as Linda sat alone in the nursery, they had painstakingly prepared, she felt a deep ache in her chest. The walls, painted a soft pink, seemed to close in on her.

They found out that the baby was a girl. The crib, the stuffed animals, the tiny clothes—each item felt like a mockery of her shattered dreams.

Peter entered the room, his face etched with worry. “Linda, we need to talk about our next steps.” Time was running out.

For The Money

Linda looked at him, tears streaming down her face. “What can we do, Peter? She’s tearing us apart. You gave her $4000 last month.”

Her husband was out of options. “I know,” Peter said softly, sitting beside her. “But we can’t give up. There has to be a way.”

Their attorney had explained that a court battle could be lengthy and emotionally draining, with no guaranteed outcome. The thought of dragging Sarah, and themselves, through such a process was almost unbearable.

A Lonely Woman

Linda lay awake that night, staring at the ceiling. Images of the baby flooded her mind. The baby she might never hold, never kiss goodnight.

She thought of Sarah, once her friend and sister-in-law, now a stranger standing between her and her child. She was extorting them for money for herself and her family.

The next day, they confronted Sarah one last time. “Sarah, please,” Linda begged. “We trusted you. This was our last hope.” Would Sarah have a change of heart?

Hard To Deal

One evening, as they sat in Sarah’s living room discussing baby names, Sarah suddenly grew quiet. “You know,” she began hesitantly, “I’ve been thinking a lot lately…”

Linda and Peter exchanged a glance. “About what?” Peter asked. Would his sister change her mind?

“I…I’m starting to feel really attached to the baby,” Sarah confessed. “I know we agreed that this would be your child, but now…I’m not so sure I can go through with it.”

But You Said

Linda felt the room tilt around her. “What do you mean, Sarah?” she asked, her voice barely a whisper. “We gave you the money you wanted,” Peter told her.

Sarah looked at her with a mix of determination and regret. “I mean, I don’t think I can give her up. I want to keep the baby.”

The argument continued, “How can you expect me to keep paying you for my own child Sarah?” But his sister didn’t care, she just wanted cash.

Think About It

Peter stood up, his face a mask of shock. “Sarah, you can’t be serious. We had an agreement. You signed a contract.”

The heavily pregnant woman was overcome by greed. “That contract doesn’t mean anything to me anymore,” Sarah snapped.

She pulled a crumpled document from her purse and, in one swift motion, tore it in half, then into smaller pieces, letting them flutter to the floor like confetti. She was playing a dangerous game with them.

Sarah’s Suggestion

Linda’s breath caught in her throat. “Sarah, please. You know how much this means to us. We’ve invested so much—emotionally, financially…”

“I know,” Sarah replied, tears welling in her eyes. “But every time I feel her kick, every time I think about her, I just know I’m supposed to be her mother.”

Peter offered her more money, “I’ll give you $1000 more every month, just stop fooling us.” Sarah laughed, “You can visit her at my house if you like.”

What Are You Doing

Peter’s face flushed with anger. “You’re being immature and selfish! This isn’t just about you. We trusted you!”

Sarah’s resolve hardened. “I’m sorry, but I believe I can give her a better life. I’m already a mother. I know what it takes.”

Hearing her speak that way hurt Linda so much. Her own family member was taking away her joy and happiness. She was emotionally and financially drained. They were out of options.

This Is Wrong

Desperate, Linda turned to Dr. Collins for support. The doctor’s face was grave. “Sarah, you need to understand the implications of your decision.

Legally and ethically, this baby belongs to Linda and Peter. You agreed to this surrogacy, and they’ve been preparing for months.”

Sarah shook her head stubbornly. “I’m doing what I think is right. I can’t help how I feel.” It was an embarrassing meeting.

Talk It Out

One afternoon, as she sat in the nursery, Linda received a call from the counselor. “Linda, I’ve been thinking about your situation. Maybe mediation could help. It’s a long shot, but it might be worth trying.”

The counselor advised getting Sarah’s husband and children involved. “Do they even know what she is doing?”

Linda considered this. Could they find a middle ground? Could Sarah be swayed by empathy and reason? She had to try.

Too Much To Bear

As Linda hung up the phone, she looked around the nursery. It was filled with love, ready for a child who might never come.

She knew she had to keep fighting, for herself, for Peter, and for the baby they longed to call their own.

But as she gazed out the window, Linda felt a deep uncertainty settle in her heart. What would they do if mediation failed? How far were they willing to go to claim what they believed was rightfully theirs?

Linda Stays Brave

Linda sighed a heavy, resigned breath. She knew the road ahead would be fraught with challenges, but she had to believe there was still hope.

She decided to pack everything into the cupboard. It was too difficult to see all the baby’s toys around. She would have to return everything if things didn’t work out.

As she prepared to face whatever came next, she wondered: How do you fight for your dream without losing yourself in the process?

Sarah Leads Them On

To appease her brother, Sarah attended a few counseling sessions But she never took the advice seriously.

Linda and Peter sought advice from a counselor, hoping for a resolution. “Sarah,” the counselor began gently, “you’re under a lot of emotional stress right now. It’s important to remember why you agreed to this in the first place. Think about the pain Linda and Peter have endured.”

The counselor accused her of taking advantage of her brothers’ kindness. Sarah’s face contorted in pain and she started crying.

Making Excuses

Tears streamed down Sarah’s face. “I know, but I didn’t expect to feel this way. I thought I could handle it, but I can’t.”

Peter clenched his fists, struggling to contain his frustration. “This isn’t just about feelings. You made a commitment.”

“I can’t go through with it,” Sarah whispered, her voice breaking. She was making things impossible for everybody. Even the doctors didn’t want to work with her anymore.

Don’t Do This To Us

Linda felt her world collapsing. The dream she had held so tightly was slipping away. “Sarah, please. We’ve waited so long for this. You promised.”

“I’m sorry,” Sarah repeated, looking down at her lap. Desperation turned to anger. “You’re tearing our lives apart!” Linda cried. “How can you do this to us?”

Sarah stood her ground, her face a mix of sorrow and determination. “I’m doing what I think is best for the baby. I’m sorry, but I can’t give her up.” The couple knew that they had to take drastic measures.

What This Means

The counselor intervened, trying to calm the situation. “Sarah, there are legal repercussions to consider. This isn’t just about what you want anymore.”

But Sarah’s mind was made up. She believed she was acting out of maternal instinct, and no amount of reasoning could dissuade her.

The room fell silent, the air thick with tension and heartbreak. The couple remained composed, they had to keep the counselor on their side and try to get Sarah to listen to them.

It’s My Baby

Peter reminded her of how much money he spent on her. Sarah’s face was a mask of conflict. “I know you did, and I’m sorry. But I have to follow my heart.”

Despair turned to anger. “Your heart?” Linda spat. “What about us? What about the promises you made? “Sarah’s eyes welled up. “I wish I could make you understand. I never meant to hurt you.”

Linda and Peter left, defeated and broken. Days turned into weeks, and their hope dwindled. Linda began to isolate herself, unable to face the world that seemed so cruel and unjust.

It’s My Choice

At first, everything seemed perfect. Sarah, a mother of two healthy children, understood the process and seemed genuinely eager to help. “I want to give you the gift of a family,” she had said, her eyes brimming with sincerity.

Peter and Linda were overwhelmed with gratitude and joy. But now they were filled with hate and remorse.

Sarah adhered to all medical instructions, attended every appointment, and kept Linda and Peter updated on the baby’s progress. Linda’s heart swelled with each ultrasound image, each tiny heartbeat she heard. But she reminded them that the baby girl would never be theirs.

Giving Up

As the days turned into weeks, the conflict escalated. Lawyers were involved, and the once-warm relationship between Sarah and the Andersons turned cold and hostile.

Linda felt like she was living in a nightmare. Sarah was hurting her so much that she felt like motherhood was a curse.

Each legal battle was a painful reminder of the child that was slipping away from her. The legal bills were piling up and they would never be able to recover from it.

So Many Problems

One afternoon, Linda sat in the nursery, staring at the empty crib. The soft pastel colors and the carefully chosen decorations now felt like cruel taunts. She could hear the echoes of Sarah’s words, her tearful apology, and her unwavering decision.

Peter entered the room, placing a comforting hand on Linda’s shoulder. “We’ll find a way through this,” he assured her, though his own voice wavered with doubt.

Linda nodded, but her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. How could they fight against someone they once loved and trusted? How could they ensure that their dream of parenthood wouldn’t be shattered by this betrayal?

A Child Is Involved

As the legal battle loomed, Linda found herself grappling with a flood of emotions—anger, sadness, and a deep, aching fear.

She glanced at the scattered pieces of the torn contract, a symbol of broken promises and shattered dreams. Sarah was playing games with them.

In the quiet of the nursery, Linda whispered to herself, “What do we do now?” But Peter felt guilty that he had brought his evil sister into their lives.

Sarah Won’t Say

Despite their best efforts to reason with her, Sarah stopped returning their calls and began missing her doctor’s appointments. They called everyone she knew, but nobody had seen her.

They knew something was seriously wrong when they couldn’t reach her for days. She was avoiding everybody, even their parents.

Then, one day, Sarah’s husband Keenan called them in a panic. “Sarah’s gone,” he said, his voice breaking. “She left me and the kids. She’s moved to another city.”

Part Of The Plan

Linda’s heart raced. “Where? Why?” “She left a note saying she was going to have the baby on her own. She didn’t say where she was going.”

Peter grabbed the phone. “We need to find her. She’s not thinking clearly.” He rushed over to his brother-in-law’s house to find his sister and his baby.

The next few months were a blur of private investigators, legal battles, and sleepless nights. Linda felt like she was living in a nightmare, her dreams of motherhood slipping further away with each passing day. The authorities were involved, but Sarah had covered her tracks well.

Sarah Disappeared

That night, Linda sat in the nursery they had prepared, surrounded by unopened boxes of baby clothes and toys.

Tears streamed down her face as she picked up a tiny onesie, holding it close to her chest. Peter found her there, his own eyes red from crying.

“We’ll find her,” he whispered, wrapping his arms around her. “We have to.” The weeks turned into months, and still, there was no word from Sarah. But they had no idea what Sarah was doing.

Awaited Call

Linda found herself questioning everything. Had she done something to push Sarah away? Could she have prevented this? Paul tried to comfort her as best he could.

One evening, as they sat in the nursery, she received a call from their lawyer. Linda’s throat went dry in fear.

“There’s been a development,” he said. “A hospital in another city just reported the birth of a baby girl to a woman matching Sarah’s description.” Did they finally find her?

Matching Sarah’s Description

Linda’s heart skipped a beat. “Is she okay? What about the baby?” “The baby is healthy, but Sarah is still not cooperating. She refuses to give up the baby.”

Linda hung up the phone, her mind racing. What could they do now? They had the legal right to the baby, but Sarah’s actions had thrown everything into chaos. Paul was already making travel arrangements.

She looked around the nursery, feeling the weight of the situation pressing down on her. The once bright and hopeful room now seemed filled with uncertainty and despair. How had their dream turned into such a nightmare?
