## Summary

Ava loves her job as an art teacher, but she can't shake the feeling that she's ready for something more. Determined to have a baby, she decides to ask Jake Jackson, her best friend, if he'll help her make her dreams come true. But Jake only agrees under one condition: they make it happen the old-fashioned way.

Jake Jackson has had a huge crush on Ava ever since they were kids. He's learned how to ignore his feelings for her, though, which is good since she works at the bar he owns part-time. But when Ava comes to him to ask if he'll help her have a child, Jake can't resist the opportunity to get closer to her... by having a baby the old-fashioned way.

It's your 30th birthday, and while you're happier than ever with your friends and career, you still want something more: a child of your own. Enter your best friend, Jake Jackson. He's kind, loyal, and strong, and he'd be the perfect surrogate father.
But Jake has one condition: if you're going to make a baby together, it has to be the old-fashioned way.
