I posted the digital invitation on Instagram. My ex responded by putting a photo of a baby on his Story. He tagged me. “Done with the silent treatment? Pepper had the baby. Time to get over it. Come see how cute the kid is.” The comments flooded in immediately. Mutual friends. Every single one of them taking his side. “Rowan, look at that little face. Camden chose you. He wants you to be this baby's mother. That means something. Can't you give him a chance?” “Think about all those years. Don't throw everything away over one mistake.” I glanced at my fiancé cooking in the kitchen. Then I posted a photo of our marriage license next to a positive pregnancy test. My reply went up right under it. “I have my own man. My own child. And you—you're ancient history. I don't recycle trash.” The comment section went dead silent. Camden blew up my phone. I didn't answer a single call. We were supposed to get married. Have a baby. Everything was set. Then three months before the wedding, Camden posted a marriage license on Instagram. His name. My stepsister's name. Next to her maternity photos. The caption read: Legally welcoming our little one into the world. My stepsister commented with a shy-face emoji. My mother liked the post. She wrote, “Once the baby's here, I'll take care of everything. You two just enjoy each other.” I couldn't stop myself. I dropped a question mark. Camden's rage hit me like a wall. “She just needed my help to have the baby. That's all.” “Don't be so petty. My mom said you need to produce an heir before the wedding too. This works out fine.” I made a soft sound. No words. Then I deleted every post connected to Camden. Every single one. I put up something new. “Groom wanted. Who's applying?”

In our family, there's a tradition. Every newborn gets a baby blanket, hand-knitted by one of the older women. My sister Willow and I got pregnant at the same time. Mom spent three months picking out the softest cashmere yarn. She even asked me—fawn pattern, or clouds. I was naive enough to think that this time, I was finally the favorite. Then my due date got close. Mom showed up at the hospital holding the finished blanket. Willow threw herself into Mom's arms, glowing. Our brother unfolded the corner of the blanket, grinning. One blanket. Right in the center, embroidered with the initials of Willow's baby. My hand went to my belly. My voice came out quiet. "Mom. Where's mine?" Mom looked away. "I wanted to give Willow's child a double blessing. So I used the money you'd set aside for yours too." Our brother cut me off with a scowl. "Can you lay off Willow for one damn second?" Dad walked in. He picked up the private-room card from my nightstand. Slipped it into his pocket. "You don't need this. Willow does. She's having a C-section. She's suffering." So they did know childbirth hurts. They knew being a mother was dangerous. They just decided Willow's fear was worth the whole family camping out at the hospital. My fear? I could choke on it alone. Willow held the blanket close. The blanket stitched with two blessings. Her voice was barely a whisper. "Vanessa. You're not going to fight me over a baby blessing, are you?" I stared at the dense, tight stitches on the blanket. And suddenly, I wasn't sad anymore. That blanket could be a foot thick. It still wouldn't keep someone warm. Not someone they'd shoved out the door a long time ago.
