UN: RowenaRavenclaw
Family Name: Lockwood

With the baby boom in Kriana, Ambrose was extremely busy. Some days, it felt like every woman in Kriana was pregnant! Still, he was somehow shocked when Flora sat him down and told him that she suspected she was pregnant.

Ambrose and Flora quickly settled on the names Basil (just cause they liked it), Cosmas (after Flora’s father), and Robert (after Ambrose’s father) for their little boy.Flora realized that, being pregnant, she would be unable to continue helping to train warriors and militia, but she learned that her cousin Hermione had a similar problem. Thus, Flora began to spend more time with her cousin, and the two grew closer than they’d ever been in the following months.During the months when Queen Minerva was pregnant, Ambrose had to regularly advise her, for the sake of her child, not to take too much responsibility on herself. He encouraged her to allow King Silas to take some of the burden off of her shoulders – although, he always assured her that he was not implying that she was incapable, but simply that the health of the baby would be determined by how well the Queen took care of herself. This was Ambrose’s greatest contribution to the affairs of the newly-united Kriana, and all the influence he really wanted.Also, although he had told her not to take any trips far from home in the final months of her pregnancy, Ambrose was secretly glad not to be there when Princess Alexandra delivered her and Prince Demetrius’ daughter. The woman was constantly complaining of pain when she hadn’t been in labor; Ambrose couldn’t imagine what she’d be like during – although, he heard that she’d been a terror…
