It seems like everything is going smoothly for he and Mary Gray, but after seven years together and no children together their marriage starts to develop cracks. The cracks lead to a strain on the marriage and while the couple wants children they also have to acknowledge that they have received none. So it is that he turns to his brother to ask him what he could ask no one else to do.

The favor is a big one to ask of Aaron, but Jonathan is desperate. It starts out as something of a dialogue but his brother finally agrees. But what starts as a compassionate act becomes something borne out of need. This brother is trying to help his sibling out, but his desire for his wife is starting to grow. When they have a crazy weekend together full of sensual togetherness, the world starts to change for the married couple and the brother too.

Can all three of them navigate this new world together? The couple want a baby so badly that they would be willing to have an unusual arrangement unlike anything else that they had ever heard about. The two want a child so badly that Mary and the two guys that she loves in her life are starting to head out on a journey that may end in a child, a unique arrangement, or the dissolving of her marriage.

    Years ago I listened to LSs the Hellion. It was both romantic and funny. Bruce Boxleitner was the narrator. I tried to contact him to suggest The H be made into a movie for tv. Please LaVryle produce this script into film. Thanks for the fun read, Pat Bell, Summerfield Fl
