After 13 years of trying, our protagonist and her husband were blessed with a surprise pregnancy. They decided to keep the baby’s name a secret until his birth, but this didn’t sit well with one sister-in-law (SIL). She accused them of leaving the family out and even criticized their choice of the name *Hawthorn*. Our protagonist defended their decisions, explaining they wanted to make the most of their one chance at parenthood.
