âHave you picked out a name for the baby?â
Twenty-six-year-old Mikayla Brown looked from the display of baby photos on the wall of the Rust Creek Falls Clinic, where she was waiting for her ob-gyn appointment, to her friend Amy Wainwright. Names? Oh, yeah, she had names. Mikaylaâs life might be entirely up in the air at the moment, but names were easy. Late at night, when she lay in bed, unable at this pointâseven months alongâto get all that comfortable, sheâd picture herself sitting in the rocking chair on the farmhouse porch with a baby in her arms and sheâd try out all her name ideas on the little one.
Problem was, she had too many possibilities. âI have six if itâs a girl,â she told Amy. âSeven if itâs a boy. And ten or so more Iâm thinking of for middle names. Can I give my child four names?â
Amy laughed, putting the Parenting Now magazine sheâd been flipping through back on the table. âSure, why not? Youâre the mama.â
Mikayla shivered just slightly. The mama. Her. Mikayla Brown. She barely had her own life together these days, and soon sheâd be solely responsible for another lifeâa tiny, helpless little one with no one to depend on but her. Mikayla had always been a dependable, do-the-right-thing kind of person, and sheâd fallen in love with a man sheâd thought was cut the same way. Then, boomâher life exploded like a rogue firecracker. One moment, sheâd been working happily at a local day care in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and in love with her boyfriend, a good-looking, ambitious lawyer, with her entire future ahead of her. The next moment, she was a single mother-to-be. No engagement. No marriage. No loving father-to-be beside her, just as excited about her prenatal checkup as she was.
