He wasn't not happy per say. He just wasn't where he thought he would be at this point in his life. But he did have a lot to be thankful for. He had happy parents who supported him in everything, friends who cared about him, and currently working on finding a record company to publish his music.

It was just that at the age of twenty-four Austin Moon thought he'd be settling down and starting a family. Not having dates that just lead to breakups. But with the path he was going down he would never have the family he wishes to have. If he didn't do something now he'd be alone for his entire life. There just comes a point in a boy's life when meaningless dates just become pointless.

Everyone else in his life was settled down. Trish is engaged to some guy she met online named Jace. Dez had married his high school lover, Carrie, and they currently have two kids. He was now a fifth wheeler of group of friends.

He felt as if there was an empty void in his life. But how was he possibly going to conceive a child without the other half. Because it does "take two to tango." He was having one of his "bro day" with Dez and Jace. This was how everything started.

"Any special lady in your life?" Jace had asked while at the same time Dez asked, "Can we expect little Austin's running around anytime soon?"

Austin had given Dez a weird look before responding, "No it's just me, myself, and I."

The conversation then ended as their food had arrived at the door and one of them went to go pay for it. But even though the conversation was over, the topic still was in Austin's mind.

It had been weeks since Austin had last hung out with his friends. He had asked if they were busy this weekend hoping maybe to hangout again. But they all said that they were busy with plans their family. So this meant that Austin was going to be spending the day alone.

As he was sitting in his living room playing a video game he couldn't help but feel lonely. It's like he was living in such a big house but it was only him who occupied it. The house was way too empty.

He began referring back to his conversation he had had with the guys. Maybe he what he needed was a little Austin in his home to fill the void in his life. It's not like he was getting any younger. And if he waited any longer he wouldn't have "enough in him."

But how was he going to find a girl to date who would also be the mother of his child? "Hey want to go on a date and then after consummate our love by making a child?" That wasn't a sentence a girl probably wanted to hear on the first date.

Well maybe he didn't need a girlfriend. He could raise a child on his own. But how was he going to create his own child? That's when Austin remembered of his uncle. His uncle isn't a conversationist but as he was getting older he realized how lonely he was getting. So he decided to have a surrogate who could give the other necessary "materials" needed and a nice home for his future child.

That was it! He could hire a surrogate to help conceive him a child. But where was he going to find a surrogate? Was there like a place he went to sign up? Or did he have to set up an advertisement on tv or newspapers?

This was going to take a while.

He was sat on the small seat where his uncle advised him to sit. After realizing that if Austin wanted a kid of his own he was going to have to do something about it. But since he didn't know how these things worked, Austin had turned to his uncle who had his own child through surrogacy. Hopefully he would be able to answer all the questions he had.

He suddenly heard distant sounds of footsteps become closer and closer. Then his little cousin appeared out of the corner of his eye running towards him. His tiny cousin then jumped right into his lap, giving him a hug.

The two have had a indescribable connection since the day she was born. Countless nights had his uncle calling him when she wouldn't stop crying or go to sleep.

"Hey little one." The little girl just hugged Austin even tighter. As the two started playing "patty-cake" his uncle walked back into the room carrying three cups of hot chocolate.

Austin laughed as he saw his cousin had gotten a mustache from her drink.

"So my nephew, what do we owe this wonderful, unexpected visit to?"

"Well there's something I kind of wanted to talk to you about?" At this point his uncle and his cousin both had their eyebrows raised in curiosity.

"I've been thinking and I want to have a baby."

The room was suddenly filled with mixed emotions. Loud squeals and the sound of a spit take was heard.

"Sorry to put a damper in your new found plan but I'm pretty sure that you aren't dating anyone at the moment right?

"Nope"

"Then how do you plan on making this baby?"

"I've been thinking about hiring a surrogate. I was hoping you'd be able to answer my questions about the process."

And answer them he did. Austin must've spent hours talking to his uncle. Well it was also probably due to the fact that he might have, although he'd never tell anyone, played "tea party" with his cousin. What could he say? She promised him he could wear the crown. She never, ever let anyone so he had to take this opportunity.

After seeing his uncle and his cousin all Austin could see were children everywhere. As they passed him down the street, as their laughter could be heard from far away, as he went to the hospital to look for candidates for his surrogate. He was beginning to get "baby head." He knew he wanted this. Soon enough there was going to be no going back, not that he'd want to.

But now the search was on for the woman who he would hire to hold his child. That was one weird sentence.
