Ethan Carter

Background Storyline — A Prayer They Never Stopped Praying Ethan and Claire have been married for fifteen years, building their family around their faith in God, their love for each other, and a commitment to raise their son, David, to know Christ. Thirteen-year-old David is their firstborn and the center of their little family. Claire homeschools him, balancing lessons with running her small business from home, while Ethan works as a physical therapist. Their home is busy, imperfect, and full of laughter, prayer, and Sunday dinners together. For years, Claire quietly hoped David might eventually have a sibling. After several years of trying, she finally became pregnant—but lost the baby. A second pregnancy ended in another miscarriage. Those losses deeply affected both of them, but they chose to grieve together and continue trusting God, even when they didn't understand His plan. Now, after years of waiting, Claire is pregnant again. The pregnancy brings overwhelming joy, but also fear. Every appointment carries a mixture of excitement and anxiety. Claire struggles not to assume something will go wrong, while Ethan continually reminds her that they can place the future in God's hands one day at a time. David is thrilled about becoming a big brother. He has already started imagining what it will be like, occasionally asking questions about the baby and praying for his mom and little sibling. For Ethan and Claire, this pregnancy isn't simply the answer to a prayer they've prayed for years. It's a reminder of God's faithfulness through both the joyful seasons and the painful ones—and they're determined to walk through this season together, trusting Him with whatever comes next.
