[Games] Continue the Story Congrats Round 2
I'll try and post at least once a week, probably on Wednesdays. This should give people plenty of time to finish the rounds.The Prompt
A family member DH and DW are close to has recently had a significant event in their life, and has turned to them during this time. Was the event good or bad? How has it affected the family, and what have DH and DW done for the family member?
In the middle of all this, DW announces that she is going to have another baby! Everyone is quite excited, and when the baby is born everyone has ideas about names. DW has recently become interested in names of a specific theme (your choice) and they agree on a name from that theme. The middle name again honors someone they both love.The Rules
1. If you miss more than three rounds period you will be dropped. You do not have to make up missed rounds, but you do not get the children for the missed round.
2. Make sure you keep your fairytale or folktale listed before your family so I can keep up with who is doing what story.
3. Please bold new additions. This can be done by using < b > name here < /b > without the spaces.
4. Ages are required.
5. IMPORTANT to note that the point of this congrats is to continue the story, and you are required to write at least a short paragraph about your family each round. If you don't like writing the blurbs, then this may not be the game for you.

But, Sandy's father Horatio recently had an emergency back surgery! With his father in the hospital recovering, Sandy has to work in the city more and is away from his daughter and pregnant wife a lot. Horatio is glad Sandy is doing a good job taking over, so he will give Sandy all the time off he needs just before and after the second child's birth after he recovers in 5 months.
Not many months later, Sunnie and Sandy welcomed a son! Little Hana loves being a big sister now and opts to help out with the baby. Sunnie, an avid reader, was recently reading Shakespeare and fell in love with the name Henry. Sandy also loves the name, then Sunnie suggested the middle name Alexander after Sandy. So far all is well again at Walnut Manor and Eclipse

DS: Henry Thomas Rainer "Hank" Von Hopf-Karmody (nb)Henry covers two aspects: it is both after Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, as Savannah has had a recent interest in poetry, and after Savannah's grandfather Heinrich "Hank" Von Hopf. Thomas was actually Katie Rose's choice. Ken and Savannah told her that they had to all agree, but she could help pick. Her response: "Uncle Tommy!" in reference to Ken's former commanding officer (honorably discharged and running the private security firm Troubleshooters Inc.), Thomas Paoletti. He, of course, was honored by the choice. Ken and Savannah both noted that now both children have a middle name after a current or former SEAL, which was completely unintended. Yet, they like it. And Hank's second middle name, Rainer, is again honoring Savannah's grandmother Ingerose "Rose" Rainer Von Hopf.

The pair recently received word through Aly's Father George that her older brother Thom has become a full-fledged mage and is studying, with help from their sort-of Uncle Numair, to become a black-robe.I can't remember if Thom's already a full mage in the books or not so...yeah.

Book (or series): Pride and Prejudice
DH: Fitzwilliam Edmund Darcy (31)
DW: Elizabeth Anne Darcy neé Bennet (24)
DD: Cynthia Georgiana Darcy (3)
DD: Antonia Jane Darcy(nb)When Elizabeth's younger sister Mary comes to visit the Darcys' home, it is to entrust herself to Elizabeth.
Mary, always considered the plain one of the Bennet sisters, has fallen in love for the first time: A perfectly respectable widower with two children proposed to her. Mary is worried about telling her parents about it because she fears that on the one hand her parents won't accept her choice, on the other hand that her possibly intended would be scared away by her family, especially by Mrs Bennet. Elizabeth, who is thriled about the events in her sister's life, encourages her to go ahead and give it a try, if she really is sure about her feelings for the gentleman.
Mary leaves her sister after a couple of days with newly built up courage. Just as Elizabeth thought, Mr and Mrs Bennet were more than happy that Mary, Mrs Bennet's problem child in terms of marriage, has finally found somebody - and a gentleman at that.
A few weeks before little Cynthia's third birthday, Elizabeth finds herself pregnant again. After the regular time, she gives birth to another girl. Mr Darcy, just as infatuated by his second child as he is by the first one, yields to Elizabeth when it comes to naming the baby. Elizabeth's tastes have left the ancient Greeks and lean towards the Romans. She finally settles on Antonia Jane, honouring Elizabeth's favourite sister, for their second daughter, and Darcy happily goes along with it.

DS: Francis Charles "Frank" Bingley (3)
DD: Flora ElizabethShortly after Frank was born, Mr. and Mrs. Bingley moved to -----shire, a neighboring county of Derbyshire, for neither his happy manners nor her affectionate heart could withstand living so close to Mrs. Bennet for much longer. They took up residence at Norwell Abbey, within thirty miles of the Darcy family's Pemberley, granting the dearest wish of both sisters. Mrs. Bennet was distraught that the northern counties should steal nearly all of her daughters and all of her grandchildren. Especially because, if something were to happen to the Collinses, -- God forbid, of course -- then dear, darling, adorable Frank would inherit Longbourne.Norwell suited the Bingleys quite well, though, and, while not meaning to hurt any one person, they were quite determined. They lived quite happily for the first three years, with frequent visits between the Bingleys and the Darcy family (their son, Bennet, was born just a month after Frank). And, of course, the Wickhams stayed at Norwell, sometimes so often and so long even Mr. Bingley made mention to Mr. Darcy of hinting that the Wickhams should leave.After these first blissful years, during which Jane and Elizabeth's sister Kitty got married to the vicar of Pemberley, a Mr. Parker of little fortune, but of such happy manners as to be compared even to Bingley, Lydia showed up at Norwell without any warning. Traveling post, she was by no means alone, although a two-year-old son, three-year-old daughter, and an infant were hardly fit chaperones for one such as Mrs. Wickham.The baby, it was revealed, was believed by Wickham not to have been his own and, enraged, he threw Lydia and the children out of their home. When questioned, Lydia did say that she had been bored while Wickham was off fighting and had flirted with other men.

DH: Newton Pulsifer (26)
DW: Anathema Device (26)
DS: Halcyon 'Hal' Adam Pulsifer-Device (3)
DS: Freddie Shadwell Pulsifer-Device (0)A few years after Hal's birth, Witchfinder Sergeant Shadwell and Madame Tracy announced that they were engaged! It was kind of a surprise to hear that the grizzled "soldier" and the kindly fortune teller would marry, but Newt and Anathema were very happy for their friends anyways. Newt was appointed best man, Anathema the maid of honor, and Hal the ring bearer. Shortly after the engagement, Anathema discovered that she was pregnant again with another boy. Actually, it was Hal who told his mummy about his little brother, walking up to her one day with a clumsily cobbled mess of wires (that had been ripped out of the toaster, they later discovered) and saying it was a toy for the baby. Seemed like the little boy had inherited his mother's gift along with her messy dark hair.Adam Young was still a frequent visitor, especially after hearing that his favorite witch would be giving him another pint-sized playmate. New to teenagerhood, Adam and his friends were going through a music-loving phase. Their favorite band? Queen, of course. And he always came over to the Pulsifer-Device house with tapes. After months of admiring Freddie Mercury's singing, the whole family decided that they liked the name Freddie for their new member. For the middle name, Newt lobbied hard for Shadwell and eventually got Anathema to agree. Thus little Freddie Shadwell Pulsifer-Device joined the clan just after the wedding. He spent all his days wailing at the top of his lungs but, unfortunately, wasn't quite as talented as his legendary namesake.

DD: Lily Azeera (nb)*Claidi's Journal*Dengwi and Venn have recently moved out from the Rise and in with the Hulta. It's so nice. Or at least it would be under better circumstances. Dengwi has been rather sick sick since her twins came- Venn Alisdar Vrabrr and Denna Claidi Tigapanth- so they asked if Yinyay could pick them up and move them out here, the air is better here and the Rise isn't what they used to be, (I did fly the Star, its 'power' out of there). So they are honarary Hulta.
*/*
Lily Azeera has been born! Roserna loves her new baby sister dearly, as well as all of us. Her name was a challenge- even if I knew she'd be a Lily, her middle name was the trickiest in all of memory. Argul wanted it to honor a family or friend again which left a short list- none which sounded right. Lily Winter did have some charm but I can barely stand Winter, so that was out. Ironel once again tried for a secessor, and I once again refused. Then I came up with and terrible idea- we would name Lily after Argul's mother, Ustareth\Zeera. Argul of course rebuked the idea, he still wasn't at ease with his mother not being dead- and she hadn't told him she was alive. I convinced him that Lily Azeera would be difrent, anyways as Zeera, Ustareth had been a good mother. I begged and pleaded until he agreed, he was naming his daughter for the mother he'd had, not who she turned out to be.
I also decided I love word names, even some of my favorite people have them (Dagger and Daisy), so from now one my children will be name word names. I'm ignoring that JL (Jade Leaf), Winter, and Twilight have word names and focus on the good people. Anyways, I feel I should go with my heart.

Mine and ATTN: Cassandra Grace LoganCassandra Grace Logan: looks like you'll miss two rounds. There are two ways we can do this: we can put your family on hold for the two days, not age them or change them from this round until you get back, or I can give you can actually make them up, with me giving you children and aging your family, and you filling in the blanks when you get back. If you choose the second one, you will have to make up the prompts as well. Just let me know!

DD: Susanna Mary Darcy "Zanna" (3)
DD: Olivia Jane (nb)Things were going quite well in the life of the little Darcy family. Susanna, or Zanna, as Elizabeth likes to call her, is a charming and beautiful toddler who looks very much like her mother, Mr. and Mrs. Darcy are more in love than ever, and Georgiana is engaged to be married to a wonderful man named Edward. But when Kitty came to stay with them, she brought distressing news about Lydia. After living in Bristol for only months, they have had to flee because Whickam's gambling debts became extreme and he had dangerous people coming after him. The family is in the same state it was when Lydia ran away years before, with no one knowing where she is.

This was a huge event in their life and they didn't know how to handle things and therefore turned to Elizabeth and Mr Darcy for advice. After all, they had Anne. Elizabeth helped her sister as much as she could with the baby, Olivia. In the middle of all this Elizabeth found herself pregnant again too. Mr Darcy was very happy and were hoping for a boy. Elizabeth and Mr Darcy talked a lot about names but couldn't come up with anything for a boy. So Mr Darcy suggested that they named a boy after him. Elizabeth gave birth, and it was a boy. However she didn't think he looked like a Fitzwilliam Jr. She suggested Percival since she had been really into King Arthur lately. They decided to honor Mr Bingley with the middle name. Anne is a very proud sister to Percival Charles
