Nine Months For You

Sade has served the celebrity household of Kola and Sonia Adeshola for over a year. A doctor tells them Sonia's uterine walls are too thin for pregnancy after thirteen years of trying. The doctor recommends surrogacy as their only path to a biological child and the couple hesitates because they fear public scrutiny. Sade emerges as the ideal candidate because she has earned their deep trust and Sonia approaches her privately. After a night of prayer Sade agrees to carry their embryo. She is driven by her wish to give another woman motherhood and to fund her three daughters Tolulope Adibimpe and Folashade through university. The surrogacy proceeds under strict confidentiality with contracts signed and medical procedures begun. Sade becomes pregnant and moves into a luxury apartment provided by the Adesholas but her sudden comfort ignites suspicion in her daughters. They confront her and accuse her of ritualism or a hidden lover and reject her story of a Good Samaritan at Oshodi. Sade's health deteriorates during the pregnancy and her daughters urge her to contact her famous employers for help but she refuses because she honors her nondisclosure agreement. Feeling abandoned by her children and overwhelmed Sade leaves a desperate voicemail for Sonia confessing she is losing her family. Doctor Oche the fertility specialist arrives at Sade's home with the signed surrogacy documents and medical records. He reveals the truth to her stunned daughters that Sade was a gestational surrogate for Mister and Missus Adeshola carrying their biological child in silence and sacrifice. The Adeshola couple themselves appear expressing deep gratitude and calling Sade a Wonder Woman who made them whole. They present the legal proof ending the speculation and validating Sade's integrity. Afterward the Adeshola family pledges full support for Sade and her daughters offering to sponsor all three young women to study abroad for their master's degree.
