Alyssa Larson and Cole Stone.
The Billionaire's Baby is one of many books from the game Choices: Stories You Play.
You've agreed to be a surrogate for a famous VIP couple. But what happens when you fall for the billionaire that's part of it?
The Billionaire's Baby includes examples of:
- Calling the Old Man Out: Daphne finally stands up to her mother in the finale and can be encouraged during a premium option to join in destroying Estelle's belongings.
- Forbidden Romance: Alyssa and Stone, who is very much married to Daphne at the start.
- Hello, [Insert Name Here]: The MC and LI have customizable names, with the default names being Alyssa Larson and Cole/Callie Stone respectively. In Chapter 17, you can also name the baby after she is born, with the default name being Luna.
- How We Got Here: The book opens with Alyssa and Stone going in for a ultrasound, only for Daphne to angrily come in and says it’s her baby.
- Mandatory Motherhood: It’s heavily implied that Daphne doesn’t want kids but because her spouse desperately does and her mother pushily saying I Want Grandkids she is being pressured into it.
- Obnoxious In-Laws: Daphne's mother Estelle, who is described by both the narrative and Pixelberry themselves as a "MIL from hell". They're not kidding; her first appearance has her insulting Alyssa, insisting that she witness her taking the pregnancy test first-hand (because she might falsify the results despite having nothing to gain from doing so), and then blaming Alyssa when the test result comes back negative, even going so far as to call her "defective" for something that A) wasn't her fault, and B) wasn't even true, since it turned out to be a false negative. She takes this even further in Chapter 12 by forcing Daphne to stay in a marriage that neither she nor her spouse want anymore and threatening to ruin Alyssa's life if she intervenes.
- Operation: Jealousy: A premium scene in Chapter 10 allows Alyssa to make Stone jealous by flirting with Joss.
- Romantic Rain: Alyssa reconciles their romance with Stone in the finale outside in the rain.
- Sadistic Choice: Estelle's ultimatium: either Alyssa leaves, or Stone will lose custody rights of their daughter the moment they divorce Daphne.
- Sympathetic Adulterer: Unlike other Choices stories that involve an affair (in which this trope is invoked to make the main character and love interest more likable), this trope applies to both Stone and their wife, Daphne. Alyssa and Stone have spent much of the book fighting their attraction to each other, before Alyssa catches Daphne cheating with Harrison. It's then made clear that Daphne and Stone's marriage has gotten stale, and both of them want to amicably divorce, but Daphne's mother won't let them.
