Mine and ATTN: Cassandra Grace Logan
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!
UN: britto08
Book: Pride and Prejudice
DH: Fitzwilliam Arthur Darcy (31)
DW: Elizabeth Cassandra Darcy (24)
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. 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.

ResponseI'd like to be able to make up the rounds I'll miss if possible, filling in the blanks when I get back from my trip.
