HelpBritt's Extended Family NTNB Round 2
Two years have passed since the return birth of the last crop of babies, and all three adopted Gardiner girls have once again had children. This time each added a girl to her family within a three month period! It’s something that could only happen once in a lifetime, and especially in the Gardner family.
The Gardner Family
DH: Colin Mackenzie Gardner (b. 1899, age 49)
DW: Susanna Amity Gardiner Gardner (b. 1901, age 47)
DD: Rose Amelia Gardiner Dawson (b. 1920, age 28)
-DH: Gilbert Alexander Dawson (b. 1919, age 29)
--DD: Susanna Judith Dawson ''Suzie' (b. 1941, age 7) (SugarPlumFairy name, Wandering Moon nickname)
--DS: Cole James (b. 1946, age 2) (Evie)
--DD: (nb)
Rose and Gilbert have both been very busy. Gilbert has taken over the theater from his father, and is really trying to put it on the map, bringing the biggest shows and the best stars he can manage. Rose is working almost nonstop and enjoying every minute, glad she is in a profession where she can bring her children to work with her, provided their nanny looks after them while she is onstage. Their daughter Suzie has recently entered the second grade, and sometimes Rose wants to cry thinking how grown up she is. Cole, their son, is still quite a baby, however, and enjoys being the baby of the family. That recently changed, when Rose gave birth to a baby girl! Cole resented the coming baby at first and was quite jealous, but once he learned that Mama and Daddy didn’t love him any less because of the new baby, he learned the charms of being a big brother and his little sister’s sweetness won him over. Rose and Gilbert want her FN to be something classic and feminine with a short, snazzy nickname (a la Suzie). Her MN should be after a famous stage actress.
DD: Violet Samantha Gardiner O'Day (b. 1922, age 26)
-DH: Gabriel Walter O'Day (b. 1922, age 26)
--DD: Lily Carmen O’Day (b. 1946, age 2) (Julia)
--DD: (nb)
Violet and Gabriel were quite excited when Violet found out she was pregnant. They were so happy with Lily that they had wanted to add to their family soon. Violet also wanted her daughter to have a sister, remembering how close she and her sisters had been growing up. She and Gabriel have both been kept very busy, him with his performances and she with her writing. During her pregnancy she often sat on her favorite sofa with Lily playing by her side and a notebook propped up on her stomach as she wrote. This pregnancy was quite a smooth one, but there was one adjustment that needed to be made. They moved out of their apartment, which was becoming too small. They bought a nice house not too far from Violet’s family and had been settled for a few months before the new baby arrived. Violet and Gabriel were delighted when it was a girl, and so was Lily. A precocious toddler, she had told her parents firmly that she didn’t want a baby brother, and she is quite happy with her sister. Violet and Gabriel want a FN after a famous woman author, and her MN should be Irish.
DD: Poppy Elizabeth Gardiner Renault (b. 1924, age 24)
-DH: David Jacques Renault (b. 1924, age 24)
--DD: Shoshannah Yvette Renault (b. 1946, age 2) (kbellweather)
--DD: (nb)
Poppy was at first not pleased to find out she was pregnant again. She had only been back dancing for a year after giving birth to Shoshannah and had hoped for a longer interval between her children, though she did want more of them. David’s excitement, plus the thought of another child to hold and love, quickly brought her around to excitement as well, however. She did continue dancing for as long as the doctor allowed her, though he gave her dire warnings to keep all the acrobatics to a bare minimum. This was fine with her, as it gave her the chance to move from classical ballet to more modern styles, which intrigued her. Though she adores performing for an audience, she has also grown to love dancing for her daughter, who watches her with wide blue eyes (just like her father’s) and applauds with “More, Mama, more!” every time. Poppy, unlike her sisters, isn’t planning a large family, as she loves being able to have alone time with her child. She had been hoping for another girl as well as hoping to give birth before her sisters, which she did. The baby’s FN reflects this happiness (meaning something like gladness, good news, triumph, etc.) and her MN is again after a famous dancer (any nationality, pay attention to time period!)
