[Games] Re: Violetta's Game of Life - Round 7
in reply to a message by Violetta
Baby #4
With Daisy's due date creeping nearer and nearer, Daisy and Ray started dicussing names. Ray was keen to name the new baby either "Henry" or "Henrietta", which was his deaseased grandfather's middle name (Henry, of course, not Henrietta). Daisy wasn't quite tactless enough to deny him this, so she said she'd think about it.
Fast foward three months, with their new son (another brunette) just born and Daisy out of her head on pain-killers. Ray was standing by the crib, waving his fingers at "little Henry". Daisy snapped, and told him there was no way in HELL that she was calling her child that.
Ray, who had a feeling this might have happened, quickly suggested Harry, a pet variation of Henry and also one of the cockney gangsters on The Getaway. Daisy refused ("it still sounds so *posh*"), and then revealed that she wouldn't mind using Enrique. Horrified at the mear suggestion, Ray whined on about how she had decieved him with the twins, and how it wasn't fair that she always got to choose the names, and how he'd found a dead body, and a lot of other junk which apparently just a clever ruse to get Daisy to feel sorry for him. Unable to stand the whining, Daisy finally caved in and agreed on Harry. As a MIDDLE name. But then, to Ray's amazed delight, she told him that she liked Reginald (his grandfather's first name), and why didn't they call him that?
So, finally, Reginald Harry (or "Reggie", as Daisy fondly called him) was named.
Violet, meanwhile, managed to get herself expelled from primary school before she'd hardly started. Sitting in Art one day, a pair of round-edged scissors clutched in her little hand, Violet decided she wanted to become a hairdresser, and convinced her friend Camilla to let her try out a mohican cut ("like Daddy's"). Unfortunately, the results were not exactly what Daisy planned. Camilla was sporting a skin-head by the end of the day, and naturally, her mother flipped. Unfortunately, Camilla's mother was The Honourable Regina Amberlynn Faxley-Harrison, wife of an MP and daughter of a Vicount. What Regina wanted, Regina got - and sadly, what Regina wanted this time was the complete expulsion of Violet Valentine-Driver.
Thankfully, another school nearby - the less pretentious Jarrett Burfoot Primary School - were only too happy to take Violet on.
