Ready: A Short Story

by J.E. Pace

One woman has wanted a baby for years. One woman has not. But we don’t always get what we want. A short story about being ready, or not. Rachel has spent years planning for a baby, preparing for a baby, hoping for a baby. None of it has worked. With one last invasive option remaining, she finds an adoption pamphlet on her husband’s dresser. But does she want someone else’s baby? And does she have the strength to hope again?
