Fate stepped in the day I met Junior Abbott. A little persistence from the man himself, and our love was meant to be. For years, we’ve been happily married, living the life I imagined as a young girl. Love, marriage, the kids in the baby carriage. With Junior, I’ve got it all. Such isn’t the case for my twin brother. When he and his wife ask me to be their surrogate, I readily agree. Without so much as a thought to what it could do to my family, it’s the least I can do to provide this child they so desperately want. Sometimes love is solid. Other times, nothing comes easy. When complications arise, I can only hope my fairy tale life still ends in happily ever after.

The conclusion to Love Unscripted. In one night, my life became unscripted. What I thought I knew, what I thought I deserved, what I thought life had planned for me was all thrown out the window. I thought I knew love, what it meant to love another person so strongly that love consumed me. Fate had other ideas, and that night changed everything. Thrown into the unknown, I learned who I could count on. What I didn’t account for was her and the unconventional relationship we started to build. I’m struggling to deal with the loss, but it’s not just about me anymore—she needs me more than ever. How do I rewrite this new future so I don’t let her down?
