For this piece, I wanted to feature Goldie with her husband, Nathaniel "Natty" Hill; especially since for the longest time I only mentioned that Goldie was married, but never showed her husband until now.
As for the piece itself, I just wanted to show them together - with Natty playfully caressing her pregnant belly, and Goldie apparently enjoying the attention; and in case it wasn't obvious, the both of them kinda have a thing for pregnancy (with Goldie always trying to make herself as roundly pregnant as possible, while Natty loves tending to his ever-expectant wife).
And as for why the two of them are seemingly so obsessed with pregnancy (especially the huge kind), well, that's a bit of a sadder story; namely in that while the both of them always wanted a huge family (wanting to have dozens, if not hundreds, of kids), it turns out that they're both, for all extensive purposes, practically sterile.
I won't go into too many details about it right now, since I still have to fully flesh out their backstory, but the basic gist of it is as follows...
Goldie and Nathaniel are virtually incapable of having children of their own, no matter how many fertility treatments and procedures they go through to fix the problem; so to help cope with the situation, Goldie regularly offers her services as a surrogate, so that she can still experience the joys of pregnancy, while Nathaniel puts his full love and support behind his wife every step of the way (plus it doesn't hurt that he kinda has a thing for hugely pregnant women as well).
Hopefully I'll be able to delve into their backstory at some point in the near future; but for now though, I hope you all enjoy the piece. =3
Well, from what I've been able to find on my own research, in the case of a lot of surrogacy programs the surrogate in question is just a host to the pregnancy; the eggs and sperm used to create a fetus are in most cases, provided by the parents of the arrangement (i.e. the father provides the sperm, while the mother provides the ovum, and the surrogate provides the womb for the surrogacy to occur).
So in the case of Goldie herself, while she is practically sterile, she can still function as a surrogate, provided that already fertilized egg cells are introduced into her womb (if that makes any sense).
Anyway, I hope that answers your question and that you're doing well. :)
