Fear, Hope, and Bread Pudding

By Marie Sexton

Part of the Coda series

Families should grow, not shrink. It's been on Jon's mind since before he tied the knot with his millionaire lover, Cole. Now hoping to adopt, Jon and Cole search for a mother-to-be willing to let them love her baby. The interminable wait is already unbearable, and when Jon's well-intentioned father invites Cole's estranged mother to spend Christmas with them in Munich, the results are disastrous.

Jon and Cole resolve to stay positive, but no hope exists without a tinge of fear. They can't help but wonder if their dream of being parents just wasn't meant to be.
