I believe the short answer is unbelief. God has promised a son to Abraham, and that this son would come through Sarah, even though Sarah was advanced in years. Either Sarah didn't believe God at all, or she didn't believe the promised child had to come through her. Isaac was the son born of the promise, through Sarah as God had promised. The first comment is quite correct. It has also been discovered that this was an ancient practice and so her actions were not without precedent even though prompted by unbelief. Discovery of this ancient custom underlines the social 'fitness' of the Genesis record of history as opposed to the Documentary view which puts the composition much later when such social customs would have been unknown.

Who are Abrahams and Sarah sons in the bible in Genses?
Abraham actually had two sons, Sarah only had one. Let me explain. God had appeared to Abraham, who was called Abram back then, and told him that he was going to have a baby. Of course, Abram was unsure about this since he and his wife were each about one hundred years old. Sarah, who was called Sarai back then, heard this and she didn't believe it. So, she told Abram to take her slave, Hagar, and go have a baby. Back then, that wasn't considered a problem. So, Hagar and Abram had a baby named Ishmael. Much later on, Abram and Sarai had a baby and they named him Isaac. They were later renamed Abraham and Sarah.
How did Abram deceive the Egyptian king?
According to Genesis 12:13, Abram feared that the king would kill him in order to have sex with his wife.

For the same reason, he successfully deceived the king of Gerar by saying that his by now quite elderly wife really was his sister.

Who was Ishmael?
As Abraham wife Sarah was baron Ishmael was then born through Hagger the slave .Additional Answer:Hagar was more than just the female handmaid or as you put it "slave" of Sarah, she is historically known to be an Egyptain princess and daughter of a pharaoh. Please take note of the following:-)-In Rabbinical Literature:According to the Midrash (Gen. R. xlv.), Hagar was the daughter of Pharaoh, who, seeing what great miracles God had done for Sarah's sake (Gen. xii. 17), said: "It is better for Hagar to be a slave in Sarah's house than mistress in her own."_ It is then clear from this Rabbinical Literature that Princess Hagar was of a Kingly line and not just of any one as to say" a slave," but of a Pharaoh father, king of Egypt! It must also mean that her son Ismael must have gone on to become a king in his own right, for the scripture clearly says he begot twelve princes and goes on to name each prince.
