BABS maternity, 1860

BABs Maternity, 1860

In the middle of nowhere…
hidden behind moss-covered trees and quiet dirt roads…
there’s a place women whisper about—but never fully understand.

BABs Maternity.

A “safe haven” for single, pregnant women during the Civil War era…
where the beds are soft, the gowns are clean, and the doctors are… different.

The births?
Strange.
Unnatural.
Almost painless.

And once you arrive…
you don’t really leave.

Ella Mae Carter never meant to end up there.

Soft-spoken, heartbroken, and heavily pregnant by a man who betrayed her, she finds herself taken in by the mysterious center. Her belly never shrinks. Her body never quite returns to normal. And the longer she stays… the more she realizes she’s not the only one.

All the women are pregnant.
All of them are single.
And all of them… keep staying.

Inside BABs, Ella forms a deep bond with another woman, Lavinia—the one person who makes everything feel a little less suffocating. Together, they try to make sense of a place that feels too perfect… too controlled… too quiet.

But the real complication?

The doctors.

Dr. Emmett—silent, watchful, and impossibly precise.
Dr. Christopher—charming, dangerous, and the only one who truly listens.

What starts as uneasy trust slowly turns into something deeper… especially between Ella and Christopher. Something emotional. Something forbidden. Something that might cost her more than she’s ready to give.

Because outside the gates…

Women are going missing.

And inside?

No one is asking enough questions.

As secrets begin to surface, loyalties blur, and Ella’s heart pulls her in directions she never expected, one truth becomes impossible to ignore:

BABs Maternity isn’t just protecting them.

It’s keeping them.

A historical maternity drama filled with mystery, romance, sisterhood, and secrets that refuse to stay buried.

If you enter BABs…

just know—

you might not want to leave.

Or worse…

you might not be allowed to.
