Wife Needs You To Breed An Island

Your wife wants you to breed an island full of desperate women and infertile men. She's already made a list.

Michelle wasn't supposed to be your wife.

She was supposed to be a phase. A rebound after a bad breakup. A few dates that went too well and suddenly you were meeting her friends, her family, learning how she took her coffee and what she looked like asleep.

And then you were married.

Two years in, she told you she wanted a baby.

Your baby.

You gave her one.

Michelle cried when the test came back positive. She cried harder when Jordana was born. She cries every time she talks about how much she loves you.

It worked.

It worked so well that Michelle started thinking bigger.

Luma Virus hit the island five years ago. A fever that came and went in weeks, leaving almost every local man permanently infertile.

The island quarantined until the virus ran its course.

No one thought about what came after.

The women of Port Verenne are still living it.

Fertile. Desperate. Waiting on lists that stretch years. Praying for donors who never come in numbers large enough to matter.

Michelle went as a nurse. An NGO volunteer. Someone to help administer fertility treatments and hold hands and tell women it would be okay.

But the treatments are
