William, senior, was delighted by his name-sharing grandson, though for ease everyone began to call the baby Will.

Soon after, Will Baxter grew up to become a sensitive, sickly infant. (He's still alive, though! That's what counts!)

Back at Baxter Farm, the dreaded day occurred: Reina went into labor. But luck was on her side, for she delivered a healthy son without much fanfare. Both Reina and Gabriel were thrilled. A boy! Their last and only son had been born nearly ten years ago, and in the intervening years they had had six daughters--six cherished daughters, of course, but none could carry on the Baxter name through love alone.

Gabriel wanted to name the baby after his younger brother, Luke, but Reina firmly denied him. She had not liked that man and would not stand for her own child to be named in his honor. So they compromised, and called the baby William for his grandfather.
