Chapter 13

“Okay birthday buddies,” Julia said, slapping her hands together. “Progress report time!”

The four women had met up at Rudolpho’s to do a check in with one another on the progress they’d made toward their birthday wishes. Amy took a sip of her Moscow Mule and hoped no one suspected how drastically her birthday wish had changed.

It wasn’t that finding her dream job had slipped in importance, but lately all of her concentration was focused on getting around those bases with Carlos. And so far, she was still one short.

“Well, Julia. You’re the one who’s supposed to be giving birth in seven months,” Alice said. “So you should start.”

Julia laughed. “I didn’t say I had to be having the kid by our next birthday. I just need the bun to be in the oven.”

“And? What’s the verdict on how the bun is going to get in the oven?” Maya asked.

“I am working with a sperm bank,” Julia said. “I’ve been looking through binders of men. So far I have a list of about two dozen.”

Amy nearly spit her drink out. “Two dozen?”

“Yeah,” Julia said casually. “I will narrow it down from there and do interviews with the final candidates.”

Maya whistled. “This is some serious shit.”

“This is my kid’s genes we’re talking about,” Julia argued. “And they are already stuck with half mine. I want the other half to be perfect.”

Julia was smart, successful, and beautiful. But she had some sort of eye problem. Amy wasn’t entirely sure what it was all about, but she knew that Julia was very self-conscious about it and worried about eventually losing her sight.

Julia turned to Alice, taking the focus off her and the hunt for the perfect sperm donor. “What about you? How’s the search for the groom going?”

Alice smiled slyly. “Actually, I have three potentials right now.”

“Three!” Maya exclaimed. “You’re seeing three guys at once?”

“Not seeing,” Alice clarified. “I have three candidates for marriage.” It did not escape Amy’s notice that she used the same language as Julia had when talking about her sperm donors.

It all seemed very unromantic to Amy, who had just recently discovered her own sense of lust and romance. “I don’t understand.”

“I’m not looking for someone to date,” Alice told them all, as if she were explaining basic math to a small child. “I am looking for a spouse. This isn’t about romance. It’s about compatibility.”

All three of her companions stared at her.

“Don’t worry. I’ve got this covered,” Alice said before taking a healthy swig of her Long Island Iced Tea. “Let’s talk about you, Maya,” she suggested, placing her near empty glass down on the table between them.

“I scored a gallery show this summer.” Maya pulled three postcards with information about the show out of her purse and passed them around. “I’d like you all to come to the opening reception.”

“We’ll be there,” Julia reassured her.

“Totally,” Alice agreed.

“With bells on,” Amy said.

“So that leaves you, Amy,” Maya said. “How’s the search for the perfect career going?”

“Well, thanks to Julia, I am in that program.
