It was midday on Friday when Annie opened the front door.

“I was glad to hear that you came home.” Charlotte smiled.

“Daniel had to meet his boss about an installation, but he said you would be bringing Mamm’s medicine today. Danki, Charlotte.”

She accepted the bag and motioned for Charlotte to come in. “No one is here right now, but Mamm left some money. How much was it?”

Charlotte told her the cost, and Annie paid her.

“How is Jacob?” Annie asked. “I thought he would be over here the instant he heard I was back home.”

“I feel like he is probably as confused as you are. He’s getting a lot of advice from everyone too.”

“What do you think I should do? Should I marry him?” Annie couldn’t believe she was asking an Englisch person she barely knew to chime in about a decision that would affect the rest of her life, but Charlotte had gone up against Daniel when her brother had tried to push her into marriage. Maybe Charlotte was exactly the person she needed to talk to, someone who would give Annie the answer she wanted to hear.

“I don’t know. Only you and Jacob can decide.”

“I guess I have to marry him.” Tears pooled in the corners of her eyes. “Then both of our families will be happy, and our child will grow up with two parents.” She dabbed her eyes with a tissue. “Do you think God is punishing us for what we did? I know a baby is a blessing, but having sex before marriage is wrong. And now we’re having all these problems, and . . .” She shook her head.

“One thing I learned from my time living with the Kings, that isn’t how God works. But when we’re in the midst of a crisis, sometimes we feel like God has abandoned us or that we’re unworthy of happiness. That’s never His intent—we just can’t foresee His plan for us.”
