After some attempts to find the first guy failed. Alice turned to the Bridgeport chat rooms. There she met Alexy Fresco. They really hit it off online.
She'd spend hours upon hours talking with him. They both agreed that they would take their relationship slowly. Especially considering they were over the internet and neither knew if the other was who they said. Alice was 99.9% truthful about everything she told him. Except about the challenge. She wanted to make sure she had a good relationship with the guy before she went telling him about how he was going to father a child he probably won't ever see again.
"Hi Alexy" Alice said cautiously.
"Alice! Finally getting to meet you. I've been waiting for this day for a while. Please excuse my clothes, I just got off work and didn't have time to change" Alexy cheerfully boasted.
"Before we go further in our relationship I need to come clean about something" Alice said hesitantly.

Alice didn't know how he was going to react. So she lowered her voice and slowly told him all about the challenge she faced. He listened without saying a word for the whole fifteen minutes. The only reaction she got from him was the occasional nod and 'mm hmm'. When she was done telling him he stood there with a blank stare. Hoping he was just processing everything she'd said and was going to say yes she couldn't help but go in for a hug....
BIG mistake!!! Alexy pushed her aside and said "Lady you are crazier than my granny off her meds! No way in hell will I ever be part of such a vulgar degrading experiment."
"I understand. I'm sorry I've upset you, please accept my apology and be on your way." Alice was upset that her first potential guy turned her down. She didn't think this was such a big deal. All the men she'd grown up with only ever wanted her to have sex. They didn't care about anything else. Especially if there was a child involved. For some reason after Alice said her goodbyes to Alexy there he was again, at her door. He was apologizing to her. He agreed to father her first child. But only if he was allowed to be there while s/he was growing up. Alexy had grown up in a broken home as well and vowed to never let his child suffer like he did.
Three weeks after the conception Alice took a home pregnancy test and sure enough it came back positive. She was ecstatic. She decided to wait until she actually started to show and the baby was moving around move to tell Alexy. Although it would be easy to shop for, Alice wanted the gender of her first child to be a surprise. Alice was getting lonely waiting for her new baby to get here, and since Alexy worked twelve hours a day and not wanting to bring another man into the mix until after the baby was born Alice thought adopting a pet would be a good idea. I mean how hard could taking care of a puppy and baby be??

She adopted a dalmatian/chihuahua mix from the shelter. The name the shelter had given him was Brooks, Alice wasn't took fond of the name but it somehow just fit him and the name stuck.
Eventually the time passed and Alice finally told Alexy that he would soon be the proud father of either a baby girl or boy. Alice was so ready for the baby to come. Her feet hurt all the time and the old secondhand bed the city had given her wasn't comfortable at all.
She explained that although they really couldn't have much of a romantic relationship she cherished his friendship and support. Both Alexy and Alice wanted a boy. Unbeknown to Alexy though, if they had a girl she'd be considered to carry on in her mother's footsteps and have 100 babies of her own. Alice didn't want to tell anyone about that part of the "rules". She couldn't fathom the thought of someone else lead alone one of her own children to go through this.
