Cassandra 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!

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. Within days after
Kitty's arrival,
Lydia herself arrives with her two-year-old daughter
Emma.
Lydia asks for help from her sister and brother-in-law, which they give, paying Whickam's debts. But they have one condition--Lydia must leave
Emma with them. They are both now convinced that
Lydia and her husband are unfit to raise a child.
Lydia at first laughs them off, but after a very serious talk with
Elizabeth she sees her point of view and agrees. The Darcys, along with
Jane and Mr. Bingley, will be little
Emma's guardians, and she will grow up with
Zanna and
Jane's two children, two-year-old
Henry Charles and newborn
Margaret Elizabeth.
Lydia says it is just until she and Whickam find themselves a permanent home, but
Elizabeth and Mr. Bingley know that is unlikely to happen.
Lydia is invited to visit
Emma whenever seh likes, and if Whickam would like to visit her he can arrange to do so at the Bingley's.
Just after the news of
Lydia's troubles reached them, within days after
Lydia's arrival herself,
Elizabeth discovered she was again pregnant. Everyone was very excited, especially
Zanna.
Elizabeth spent a lot of time reading Shakespeare in the last few months of her pregnancy, and she and Mr.
Darcy agreed on a Shakespearean name for their child's first name.
Elizabeth also insisted that, if the baby was a girl, they give her a middle name after
Jane, as
Jane had named her daughter after her. Lo and behold, the baby was a girl, and she was named
Olivia Jane. Everyone is delighted with her, and again Mr.
Darcy insists she has
Elizabeth's eyes, though everyone else disagrees.
Zanna is enraptured with her little sister. She is a good older sister, as she has been a good cousin to baby
Margaret. With the addition of
Emma and now little
Olivia, the halls of Pemberley are filling with laughter and children.
