The Edmunds-Fletcher Family:
DSO: Leo Frederic Edmunds (31)
DSO: Amelia Jane Davis Fletcher (32)
DD: Lily Margaret Fletcher (5)
DS: Benjamin Harris Edmunds "Bennie" (5)
DD: Sophie Rose Fletcher-Edmunds (nb)
Note: since they were expecting the last round, I just left the kids the same age and added ages for the parents.
Amelia and Leo met when dropping their children off at school, and things blossomed from there. After about eight months of dating, they decided to move in together. It was a big step, but they thought they and their kids were ready. Only a few months after that, Amelia discovered she was pregnant.
The couple was very excited about having a child together, but once they announced it they began getting pressure from both of their families to get married. But the couple discussed it and decided it was not the right time yet to marry. They don't see the need either, as they see themselves as just as much a family as if they had gone through the formalities. Bennie calls Amelia Mommy, and Lily calls Leo Daddy. The two were extremely excited when their parents told them that they were going to have a brother or sister, and they even let them help pick out the name once it was discovered the baby was a girl. The name they chose was Sophie Rose, and when she arrived they discovered it was the perfect name. The baby was born with Leo's golden-brown hair and bright rosy cheeks, and her eyes are a strangely dark blue that everyone is sure will turn brown like Amelia's. Lily and Bennie are enamored of their baby sister, and Amelia and Leo are both totally in love with her.
With the birth of their daughter, Leo and Sophie began discussing adopting one another's children, making them all Fletcher-Edmunds like Sophie. With Lily there would be no problem, as her father has long been dead and her father's family has agreed as long as her name of Fletcher isn't totally dropped, but with Bennie they would run into trouble. Though she hasn't seen him in years, Bennie's mother still has her parental rights, and tracking her down and convincing her to agree to the adoption will not be easy.
