My Sister-in-Law Stole My Baby\u2019s Name Before I Gave Birth<\/strong><\/p>\n

CHAPTER 1 \u2014 WELCOME, JUNE<\/strong><\/p>\n

I told my sister-in-law my baby girl\u2019s name when I was two months pregnant.<\/p>\n

She was eight months along.<\/p>\n

Last week, she gave birth\u2014and used it.<\/p>\n

I was standing barefoot in our kitchen at 7:14 on a Tuesday morning when my phone buzzed across the counter.<\/p>\n

The Walsh family group chat.<\/p>\n

My brother-in-law Matt had sent a photo from the hospital.<\/p>\n

Kara was propped against white pillows, exhausted and smiling, a pink-swaddled newborn tucked against her chest.<\/p>\n

Underneath the picture, Matt had written:<\/p>\n

She\u2019s here. 7 lbs 8 oz. Mom and baby are perfect. Welcome to the world, June Claire Walsh.<\/strong><\/p>\n

For three seconds, I was happy.<\/p>\n

Then my brain caught up with my eyes.<\/p>\n

June.<\/p>\n

I read it again.<\/p>\n

June Claire Walsh.<\/p>\n

My coffee sat untouched beside my hand.<\/p>\n

Luke walked into the kitchen fastening his watch.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything okay?\u201d<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n

He opened the refrigerator.<\/p>\n

\u201cErin?\u201d<\/p>\n

I turned my phone around.<\/p>\n

He read the message.<\/p>\n

His face changed.<\/p>\n

Not dramatically.<\/p>\n

Just enough.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s it?\u201d<\/p>\n

He looked at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe used it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke rubbed the back of his neck.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe they\u2019d already been considering it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t know that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eight weeks earlier, Kara and I had sat in her SUV outside Target while she complained that she and Matt couldn\u2019t agree on a girl\u2019s name.<\/p>\n

I had been nine weeks pregnant.<\/p>\n

Barely showing.<\/p>\n

Still terrified every time I went to the bathroom that I\u2019d see blood.<\/p>\n

Nobody outside immediate family knew yet.<\/p>\n

Kara had leaned over the console and whispered, \u201cCome on. You have names picked out. I know you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

I had hesitated.<\/p>\n

Then I told her.<\/p>\n

June.<\/p>\n

She had smiled immediately.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not a polite smile.<\/p>\n

A real one.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my God. Erin. That\u2019s beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

I\u2019d laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cDon\u2019t tell anybody yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPromise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now her daughter was named June.<\/p>\n

Luke stared at the photo again.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat exactly did you say to her?\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean, what exactly did I say?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just asking.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018If this baby is a girl, her name is June.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd she said she loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke set his coffee mug down.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe she genuinely forgot.\u201d<\/p>\n

I laughed once.<\/p>\n

There was nothing funny in it.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe forgot the exact name I told her not to tell anyone?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCall Matt.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke looked uncomfortable.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey literally just had a baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019m not asking you to yell at them. Ask him when they chose the name.\u201d<\/p>\n

He sighed.<\/p>\n

That sigh made me angrier than anything he\u2019d said.<\/p>\n

But he called.<\/p>\n

Matt answered on the fourth ring, sounding exhausted and happy.<\/p>\n

\u201cHey, man.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHey. Congratulations.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks. It was a night.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stood five feet away pretending not to listen.<\/p>\n

Luke glanced at me.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, June. Nice name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Matt laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah. Kara finally saved us. We were still arguing about names two weeks ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

My stomach dropped.<\/p>\n

Luke\u2019s eyes met mine.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwo weeks ago?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah. Then she came up with June. Said it just hit her one day. Short, classic. My mom loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke went very still.<\/p>\n

Matt kept talking.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted Claire as the first name, but Kara won that battle.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou guys coming by this weekend?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah. We\u2019ll figure it out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke ended the call.<\/p>\n

Neither of us spoke.<\/p>\n

Finally I said, \u201cShe told him she came up with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd your mother knew.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cApparently.\u201d<\/p>\n

I picked up my phone.<\/p>\n

Luke reached toward me.<\/p>\n

\u201cErin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not starting a fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAsking a question.\u201d<\/p>\n

I opened Kara\u2019s contact.<\/p>\n

You named her June?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The message showed delivered.<\/p>\n

Then read.<\/p>\n

Nothing.<\/p>\n

One minute.<\/p>\n

Two.<\/p>\n

Luke checked the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a meeting at eight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to leave you upset.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen don\u2019t tell me to pick another name before you walk out the door.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t say that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

My phone buzzed.<\/p>\n

Kara.<\/p>\n

I knew you might be upset.<\/strong><\/p>\n

That sentence was somehow worse than an excuse.<\/p>\n

I typed back.<\/p>\n

Then why did you do it?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Three dots appeared.<\/p>\n

Disappeared.<\/p>\n

Appeared again.<\/p>\n

Finally:<\/p>\n

I just loved it so much after you told me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I stared at the screen.<\/p>\n

She hadn\u2019t forgotten.<\/p>\n

She hadn\u2019t already chosen it.<\/p>\n

She hadn\u2019t misunderstood.<\/p>\n

She had heard my baby\u2019s name, loved it, and taken it because she happened to give birth first.<\/p>\n

Luke read over my shoulder.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, man.\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s your response?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you want me to say?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI want someone in your family to act like this is insane.\u201d<\/p>\n

He exhaled.<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree it\u2019s messed up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMessed up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat sounds like someone dented my car.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cErin, I\u2019m agreeing with you.\u201d<\/p>\n

My phone buzzed again.<\/p>\n

Another message from Kara.<\/p>\n

You have months to find another one.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n

Because in that moment I understood something Kara didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

I hadn\u2019t spent two months looking for June.<\/p>\n

I had spent thirty-one years getting to her.<\/p>\n

And nobody in Luke\u2019s family knew why.<\/p>\n

CHAPTER 2 \u2014 I TOLD YOU AT EIGHT WEEKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kara called me at noon.<\/p>\n

I let it ring.<\/p>\n

Then again at 12:07.<\/p>\n

At 12:19, she texted:<\/p>\n

Can we please talk?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I almost ignored that too.<\/p>\n

But avoiding the conversation wouldn\u2019t change anything.<\/p>\n

So I answered.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cErin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her voice was low.<\/p>\n

Hospital quiet behind her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI really don\u2019t want this to become a thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

I closed my eyes.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt already became a thing when you put June on the birth certificate.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew you\u2019d be annoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnnoyed?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know what I mean.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. Actually, I don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was silent.<\/p>\n

I pictured her in the hospital bed, her daughter sleeping beside her.<\/p>\n

And that made the whole thing harder.<\/p>\n

Because I wasn\u2019t angry at the baby.<\/p>\n

The baby had done nothing.<\/p>\n

Kara cleared her throat.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou told me you liked the name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. I told you that was her name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cErin\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou remember where we were?\u201d<\/p>\n

Another silence.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn my car.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOutside Target.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou asked if we had names.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI said, \u2018If this baby is a girl, her name is June.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Kara sighed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know what you said.\u201d<\/p>\n

That stopped me.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo we agree.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just think you\u2019re making it sound more malicious than it was.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou used the name after I told you it was ours.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI fell in love with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo did I. That\u2019s why I chose it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou hadn\u2019t announced it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat doesn\u2019t matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt kind of does.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, Kara. It doesn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her voice sharpened.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not even halfway through your pregnancy.\u201d<\/p>\n

There it was.<\/p>\n

A small, ugly sentence.<\/p>\n

Not shouted.<\/p>\n

Not dramatic.<\/p>\n

Just revealing.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy baby isn\u2019t here yet, so her name counts less?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not what I said.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s exactly what you said.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I said you have time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo do what?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFind something else.\u201d<\/p>\n

I laughed again.<\/p>\n

\u201cKara, why am I the one finding something else?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause my daughter is already here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou knew I was going to use it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou told me privately. You didn\u2019t announce it to the family.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the point of privately.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m exhausted, Erin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen we can talk later.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, wait.\u201d<\/p>\n

I almost hung up anyway.<\/p>\n

Then she said, \u201cPatricia loved it too.\u201d<\/p>\n

I froze.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYour mother-in-law.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know who Patricia is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI mentioned June to her.\u201d<\/p>\n

My fingers tightened around the phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA few weeks ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou promised me you wouldn\u2019t tell anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t tell her it was yours.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s supposed to help?\u201d<\/p>\n

Kara groaned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is getting ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, Kara. It was ridiculous when you broke one promise. Now I\u2019m finding out you broke two.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe just said it was beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow did the conversation even happen?\u201d<\/p>\n

No answer.<\/p>\n

\u201cKara.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI told her we were considering it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou told her you were considering my baby\u2019s name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI liked it.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stood up from my desk.<\/p>\n

I had been trying to work through the call.<\/p>\n

That was impossible now.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo Patricia knew before the baby was born?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd she knew where the name came from?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

That answer came too quickly.<\/p>\n

I stared at the wall.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean she didn\u2019t know you\u2019d picked it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just said you didn\u2019t tell her it was mine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen why did you say she didn\u2019t know where it came from?\u201d<\/p>\n

Kara hesitated.<\/p>\n

And suddenly I knew there was more.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow did Patricia know?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cErin\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow did she know?\u201d<\/p>\n

The line went quiet.<\/p>\n

Then I heard a baby cry in the background.<\/p>\n

Kara\u2019s voice softened.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. You don\u2019t get to drop that and\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to feed her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKara.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll call you later.\u201d<\/p>\n

She hung up.<\/p>\n

I stood alone in my home office with my phone in my hand.<\/p>\n

At 3:00, Luke came home early.<\/p>\n

He found me on the couch scrolling through old messages.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLooking for the conversation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat conversation?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Kara.\u201d<\/p>\n

I found it.<\/p>\n

Eight weeks earlier.<\/p>\n

After Target.<\/p>\n

Thank you for telling me. June is seriously perfect. Secret is safe with me. \u2764\ufe0f<\/strong><\/p>\n

I handed Luke the phone.<\/p>\n

He read it twice.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe knew,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI see that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd she told your mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke sat beside me.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe my mom didn\u2019t know it was your name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKara said something weird.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said Patricia didn\u2019t know where it came from.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke frowned.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat could mean anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n

I locked my phone.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re visiting them Saturday, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you still want to.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOh, I want to.\u201d<\/p>\n

He looked nervous.<\/p>\n

\u201cErin.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to yell in a hospital room.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019ll probably be home by then.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to yell in their house either.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m going to ask your mother one question.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat question?\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked at him.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether she knew June was ours before Kara used it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke leaned back.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd if she did?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I\u2019m going to find out why everyone in this family thought I was the only person who didn\u2019t need to be included in the decision.\u201d<\/p>\n

CHAPTER 3 \u2014 NOBODY OWNS A NAME<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kara and Matt lived twenty minutes away.<\/p>\n

By Saturday afternoon, their driveway was full.<\/p>\n

Luke\u2019s parents were there.<\/p>\n

Matt\u2019s best friend.<\/p>\n

Two neighbors carrying casseroles.<\/p>\n

There was a silver balloon tied to the porch railing.<\/p>\n

WELCOME BABY GIRL.<\/p>\n

I stood on the sidewalk holding a gift bag and wondered if I had made a mistake coming.<\/p>\n

Luke squeezed my hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can leave anytime.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m fine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don\u2019t have to prove anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not here to prove anything.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inside, Matt looked like he hadn\u2019t slept in a week.<\/p>\n

He hugged me.<\/p>\n

\u201cMeet your niece.\u201d<\/p>\n

And then somebody placed the baby in my arms.<\/p>\n

Everything changed for a minute.<\/p>\n

She was tiny.<\/p>\n

Warm.<\/p>\n

Her mouth made little movements in her sleep.<\/p>\n

A pink hat covered most of her dark hair.<\/p>\n

I looked down at her and felt absolutely no anger.<\/p>\n

She wasn\u2019t a stolen name.<\/p>\n

She was a baby.<\/p>\n

That distinction mattered.<\/p>\n

\u201cHi,\u201d I whispered.<\/p>\n

Matt grinned.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s pretty great.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe is.\u201d<\/p>\n

Across the room, Kara watched me.<\/p>\n

She looked nervous.<\/p>\n

Patricia came out of the kitchen carrying a tray.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s my other pregnant girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

She kissed my cheek.<\/p>\n

Then she touched my stomach without asking.<\/p>\n

\u201cStill feeling good?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou look tired.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

She laughed like I\u2019d made a joke.<\/p>\n

The visit stayed polite for almost twenty minutes.<\/p>\n

Then Matt took the baby upstairs to change her.<\/p>\n

Kara went with him.<\/p>\n

Patricia and I were left in the living room with Luke.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t want an audience.<\/p>\n

But I also didn\u2019t want to wait another week.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatricia, can I ask you something?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDid you know June was the name Luke and I had picked?\u201d<\/p>\n

Patricia\u2019s smile faded just slightly.<\/p>\n

Luke shifted beside me.<\/p>\n

She set down her coffee cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew you liked it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat wasn\u2019t what I asked.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patricia looked toward the stairs.<\/p>\n

\u201cErin, today really isn\u2019t the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI agree. Which is why I\u2019m asking you quietly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke said, \u201cMom, just answer her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patricia\u2019s eyes moved to him.<\/p>\n

Then back to me.<\/p>\n

\u201cKara mentioned that you had talked about the name.\u201d<\/p>\n

There it was.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou knew.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI knew you\u2019d discussed it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI told Kara it was our daughter\u2019s name.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patricia exhaled.<\/p>\n

\u201cErin, nobody owns a name.\u201d<\/p>\n

I actually nodded.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re right.\u201d<\/p>\n

That seemed to surprise her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not claiming I legally own June.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen I\u2019m not sure why we\u2019re doing this.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause Kara knew I had chosen it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo?\u201d<\/p>\n

Patricia\u2019s expression tightened.<\/p>\n

\u201cKara\u2019s baby arrived first.\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked at Luke.<\/p>\n

Then back at her.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd she\u2019s already named.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo what exactly do you expect her to do now?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patricia spread one hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen what are we arguing about?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re clearly upset.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbout something that can\u2019t be changed.\u201d<\/p>\n

I felt Luke tense.<\/p>\n

That sentence was so familiar.<\/p>\n

Something can\u2019t be changed.<\/p>\n

Translation: the person who got hurt needs to become convenient.<\/p>\n

Patricia leaned closer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are thousands of beautiful names.\u201d<\/p>\n

I smiled without meaning to.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy does everybody keep telling me that?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause it\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen Kara had thousands to choose from too.\u201d<\/p>\n

Patricia looked away.<\/p>\n

Footsteps sounded upstairs.<\/p>\n

I lowered my voice.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going to make a scene. I\u2019m not asking anyone to change a birth certificate. I just wanted to know whether you knew.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, now you do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kara came downstairs carrying the baby.<\/p>\n

She stopped when she saw our faces.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happened?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing,\u201d Patricia said quickly.<\/p>\n

That told me plenty.<\/p>\n

On the drive home, Luke kept both hands on the wheel.<\/p>\n

We made it seven minutes before he spoke.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease don\u2019t turn this into a family war.\u201d<\/p>\n

I turned toward him.<\/p>\n

\u201cExcuse me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat came out wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt came out very clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, Kara has a newborn. My mom is going to get defensive. Matt doesn\u2019t even know what happened. I just don\u2019t want this exploding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy would I be the one making it explode?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not saying you are.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou literally just did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke took a breath.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s nothing Kara can do now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither can I.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can.\u201d<\/p>\n

I already knew what was coming.<\/p>\n

He stared at the road.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can pick another name.\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked out the passenger window.<\/p>\n

\u201cWow.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not saying it\u2019s fair.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. You\u2019re just asking me to absorb the unfair part because I\u2019m easier to reason with.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not what I\u2019m doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is exactly what you\u2019re doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you love June.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThen why is your first solution to throw it away?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause do you really want two cousins named June Walsh?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

He glanced at me.<\/p>\n

I continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cKara apparently did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Luke went quiet.<\/p>\n

We drove another block.<\/p>\n

Then I said, \u201cYou know who June was.\u201d<\/p>\n

His hands tightened on the steering wheel.<\/p>\n

He knew.<\/p>\n

But he still didn\u2019t understand.<\/p>\n

Not yet.<\/p>\n

CHAPTER 4 \u2014 THE COMPETITION<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kara called me Monday night.<\/p>\n

I almost didn\u2019t answer.<\/p>\n

Then I saw a message from her first.<\/p>\n

Please. I owe you the full truth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So I picked up.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat truth?\u201d<\/p>\n

She sounded tired.<\/p>\n

Not newborn tired.<\/p>\n

Something else.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need you to know I didn\u2019t wake up one day thinking I wanted to hurt you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know that doesn\u2019t make what I did okay.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a better start than last time.\u201d<\/p>\n

She let out a shaky breath.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour mother-in-law has been comparing us for years.\u201d<\/p>\n

I sat on the edge of my bed.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou really haven\u2019t noticed?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe does it constantly.\u201d<\/p>\n

I thought about Patricia.<\/p>\n

Kara\u2019s Christmas decorations were elegant.<\/p>\n

My house was cozy.<\/p>\n

Kara was disciplined.<\/p>\n

I was creative.<\/p>\n

Kara always dressed beautifully.<\/p>\n

I had a talent for making things \u201cfun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Separate compliments.<\/p>\n

Or so I\u2019d thought.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe told me your wedding flowers were too much,\u201d Kara said. \u201cThen told you mine were boring.\u201d<\/p>\n

I frowned.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe told me yours were tasteful.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cExactly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kara continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we redid the nursery, she said you\u2019d probably do something sentimental and old-fashioned when you had a baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat sounds like her.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t mean it as a compliment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Something cold moved through me.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat does this have to do with June?\u201d<\/p>\n

Kara was quiet.<\/p>\n

Then she said, \u201cShe kept asking about names.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe hated everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

I almost laughed.<\/p>\n

\u201cPatricia hates half the English language.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat names?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAmelia. Claire. Sophie. Hannah.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAll normal.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery one had a problem. Too common. Too boring. Too trendy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then I told you June.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

I waited.<\/p>\n

Kara\u2019s voice got smaller.<\/p>\n

\u201cA few months ago Patricia said something about you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said, \u2018Erin will probably choose something that sounds ninety years old.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

My stomach tightened.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe said I was the one she trusted to pick something beautiful.\u201d<\/p>\n

There it was.<\/p>\n

Not enough to excuse what Kara had done.<\/p>\n

But enough to explain where the rot had started.<\/p>\n

Kara rushed on.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know how stupid this sounds.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKeep going.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you said June, I loved it. Immediately.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI remember.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then I kept thinking about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou mean planning to use it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNot at first.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat changed?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI mentioned it to Patricia.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe secret you promised to keep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe loved it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course she had.<\/p>\n

Kara gave a humorless laugh.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe actually said, \u2018Finally. That\u2019s the first name you\u2019ve brought me that sounds right.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

I rubbed my forehead.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you needed your mother-in-law to approve your baby name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you say it like that\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow else would I say it?\u201d<\/p>\n

She went silent.<\/p>\n

I could hear the baby fussing faintly.<\/p>\n

Then Kara said, \u201cI think I was scared you were going to have your baby in a few months and everyone would love her name and Patricia would make some comment about how you had better taste.\u201d<\/p>\n

I stared at the floor.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou stole my baby\u2019s name because you were worried Patricia might compliment me?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t think of it as stealing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou knew I had chosen it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou told Matt you came up with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou told Patricia you were considering it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when you signed the paperwork, you knew exactly what you were doing.\u201d<\/p>\n

A long pause.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes.\u201d<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t feel triumphant hearing her admit it.<\/p>\n

Just tired.<\/p>\n

\u201cKara, you know what the worst part is?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even know we were competing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her voice cracked.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo, I don\u2019t think you do. You were trying to beat me in a game I wasn\u2019t playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was the first real apology she\u2019d given me.<\/p>\n

But it wasn\u2019t enough yet.<\/p>\n

I looked toward my dresser.<\/p>\n

One drawer was slightly open.<\/p>\n

Inside was a white envelope I hadn\u2019t touched in weeks.<\/p>\n

\u201cDoes Patricia know why I chose June?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat does that mean?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt means you thought you took a pretty name.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it was more than that now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNo. You don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

I ended the call before I said something cruel.<\/p>\n

Then I crossed the bedroom and opened the drawer.<\/p>\n

The envelope was underneath an old insurance folder.<\/p>\n

Inside were six photographs my mother had given me after the funeral.<\/p>\n

I pulled out the one from my college graduation.<\/p>\n

I was twenty-two, wearing a black cap and gown.<\/p>\n

Beside me was a tiny woman with silver hair, one arm around my waist and the biggest smile in the picture.<\/p>\n

Grandma June.<\/p>\n

I turned the photograph over.<\/p>\n

Her handwriting was still there.<\/p>\n

So proud of you, kiddo. Love always, Grandma June.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I sat down on the floor.<\/p>\n

Kara thought she had taken a beautiful name.<\/p>\n

She had no idea whose name she had taken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
