With his smiling mother and aunt, this is little Fionan Terry in one of the first portraits of his extraordinary family.
這是一張小菲奧南·特里與滿面笑容的媽媽和小姨一起拍的第一張照片，記錄了他們特殊的一家人。

But the happy picture belies the emotional roller-coaster the two sisters have endured to bring him into the world.For not only is Ellie Fairfax his aunt, she is also his surrogate mother – stepping in to carry the baby after her sister learnt treatment for cervical cancer would leave her infertile.
但是這張快樂(lè)的照片承載了小菲奧南降生前后，姐妹倆起起伏伏的情緒。因?yàn)榘悺べM(fèi)爾法克斯不僅是小菲奧南的小姨，她同時(shí)也是他的代理母親——在得知妹妹患宮頸癌接受治療后失去無(wú)法受孕后，艾麗自告奮勇當(dāng)代理母親。

Siobhan Terry, 31, longed for another child to make her family complete, but was told she would never be able to give her daughter Saoirse, a brother or sister.
西沃恩·特里今年31歲，非常希望能夠再生一個(gè)小孩使家庭更完整，不幸被告知已失去生育能力，無(wú)法為她的女兒西爾莎再生一個(gè)弟弟或妹妹。

Thanks to the remarkable selflessness of Miss Fairfax, though, she is now the delighted mother of Fionan. He was born three months ago weighing 6lb 4oz after a four-hour labour.
還好有非常無(wú)私的費(fèi)爾法克斯小姐，她現(xiàn)在非常開(kāi)心成為了菲奧南的母親。三個(gè)月前，菲奧南經(jīng)過(guò)4個(gè)小時(shí)的接生降臨人世，出生時(shí)體重61磅4盎司。

Miss Fairfax said: ‘Although Fionan is biologically mine, from the moment he was conceived to the magical time I held him for the first time, I only ever thought of him as Siobhan’s baby.
費(fèi)爾法克斯小姐說(shuō)：“雖然菲奧南的生理母親是我，但是從我懷上他到我第一次抱著他，我腦子里想的是他是西沃恩的孩子?！?/div>

‘So it was never hard to let him go to her. I just felt relieved when he was born that he was healthy and delighted to see him bring Siobhan and Dean so much joy.’

The sisters, from Beckenham, south-east London, are the eldest of four and have always been close.
這對(duì)姐妹來(lái)自倫敦的東南區(qū)貝肯漢姆，是四個(gè)兄弟姐妹中排行最大的兩個(gè)，她們倆的關(guān)系一直都很親密。

“所以醫(yī)生告訴我要保住我的性命，將損傷到卵巢，而子宮也會(huì)由于創(chuàng)傷無(wú)法受孕?！?/div>

When she told her family the heartbreaking news, her sister, who has no children of her own, instantly volunteered to carry a baby for her.
當(dāng)她告訴家人這個(gè)心碎的壞消息時(shí)，她沒(méi)有生過(guò)小孩的姐姐，馬上自告奮勇愿意代替妹妹再生下一個(gè)寶寶。

They bought an artificial insemination kit and after two months of trying using Mr Terry’s sperm, Miss Fairfax became pregnant.
