When the twins were two, Emma and Will welcomed a little girl. They disagreed for weeks before her birth over what to name her (they argued over boy's names too, but that's a moot point). Will wanted to name her Jimmie, and Emma wanted to call her Fredericka. The day she was born, they still couldn't decide, so they called Exie and Ashley and asked them what they thought their little sister should be named. Ashley said "Edward!", which was the name of his imaginary friend. Exie, who had still not quite mastered the English language, murmured something that sounded like "Setta". Emma and Will weren't quite sure what she meant, but they decided on Zetta, and used the other names they liked as middle names.This year, Emma gave birth to a son. Again, they couldn't choose a name for him, but each of them had their ideas. And then they remembered Zetta's birth-- Ashley had suggested Edward, despite that they'd been trying to name a girl. Since Exie had named Zetta, they thought it was only fair they use Ashley's choice on his new brother. He was named Edward Moody Noah. Emma wasn't sure where Will had come up with the name Moody, but he did seem so excited about using it. In news unrelated to births, Exie and Ashley are now being taught to read and do simple math at home. They will be going to the school in town next year.Will and Emma
