When the plan to come out to Wyoming to marry the Culpepper brothers had been set into motion, Faith knew that it would interrupt That’s My Baby’s flow of orders. Now that the kiln had been set up for a couple of days and production was back on track, half the load of worry that had been sitting on her shoulders lifted. Well, maybe not half. Maybe more like a third. She still hadn’t figured out how to tell Cooper about the business. She definitely hadn’t worked out a way to explain that she couldn’t have children.

At least she was able to distract herself with work.

“It’s amazing that more of the bisque fired pieces weren’t broken,” Chastity said as the four sisters and Linda worked together in Faith’s workshop on a Saturday morning, packing up orders.

“I’m pretty impressed that you had all of these parts ready to be finished and assembled before you came out here,” Linda added. She took one of the last dolls to be packed from the table and cradled it. Her eyes misted. “She’s so precious. I keep waiting for her to wake up and reach for me.”

Faith grinned from ear to ear. As far as she was concerned, that was the best compliment Linda could have given her. “It breaks my heart a little bit each time I send one away to a new mommy,” she sighed.

A slight scrape sounded from the open, outside door behind her, but when she peeked over her shoulder, there was nothing there but a cheery view of the ranch in morning light. She ignored the way the hair stood up on the back of her neck, and circled around the table to the shelf where the last baby waited to be packed for shipping. It was a baby boy that she’d dressed in a darling miniature suit that Hope had made. As she carried him to the last empty box, her heart squeezed in her chest.

“Honey, what’s wrong?” Linda closed the lid on the baby she’d just packed and moved to Faith’s side, putting an arm around her shoulders.

“I just…I just want one of my own, that’s all.” There. She’d admitted it, gotten it out in the open.

Chastity snorted. “Well, from what I understand, the way you and Cooper have been carrying on, you might just get your wish.”

A twist of anger raced through Faith. She glared at her sister, but as soon as Chastity frowned and shrugged and said, “What?” Faith’s tension drained.

She’d never told any of her sisters what Dr. Morrison had told her. The only person who had been at that appointment with her was her mom. In fact, it was her mom who had grasped the dangers of Faith’s hobby and taken her to be checked out in the first place. The diagnosis had been so devastating—and her mom had spent so much time saying she’d told Faith so—that Faith been unable to reveal the truth, even to her sisters.

What they didn’t know couldn’t hurt them, but Faith couldn’t let herself hold it against them either.
