   Summary

   “What if she says no?” Shane’s voice was small. Ilya was tempted to remind Shane that they’d been over this—but he knew that wasn’t what Shane needed right now.

   “Will be okay. We don’t know what she will say… but will be okay no matter what she says. This is first step, yes? We have many options.” Ilya’s reply gave nothing away about his own fear. This, he could give Shane. Measured reassurance. Ilya tried to believe his own words. He didn’t want other options. He wanted this option. But it was not his choice to make.

   Or:

   Shane and Ilya are planning to start a family. They ask Svetlana to be their egg donor. It goes like this.
