An Excerpt from The Tomorrow Paradox (Book Two in The Adventures of Mackenzie Mortimer):
“Your family owns the whole building?” Gemma asked. “They
must be loaded. What does your biological sperm contributor do?”
“Ixnay on the clone speak. Just because you don’t have
parents doesn’t mean you don’t have to learn the lingo. The male parent is
called the father.”
Gemma shrugged. “Whatever spins your hard drive. But you
have to admit, biological sperm contributor is a much more accurate
description.”
“Better let me do the talking when we meet my family. My father
may be a little harder to deal with than Alex.”
“Who’s Alex?”
“Alex is my…” The 13-year-old boy paused, uncertain how to
explain the 30-year-old man she would soon meet was his son. “Um, biological
sperm donation.”
Gemma shot him a cockeyed glance. “You enjoy making fun of me, don’t you?”
Time is running out… fortunately, Mackenzie Mortimer has a few more minutes than anyone else!
