HelpGlowGirl's Sisters' Story Congrats Round 1
I saw one of these before, but I don't think it was ever completed. So, I thought I'd do one! After my survey, I realised that almost everybody's favourite game is Congrats, and more then one of you said that you love story Congrats.
This story follows three sisters, who all find themselves becoming mothers. If you are a bidding storyteller, feel free to write a few paragraphs about each sister's experiences. Or, you can simply skip to the name lists and name your heart out.
There will be a little bit of dice-rolling, so everyone's family will be different by the end.
Round 1: Meet The Sisters
The oldest sister is 32 years old. She is a dentist, and is single. She has always been single, deciding to wait for a man. She has always wanted children, but wants to find the right man. She lives in an apartment alone, but she doesn't spend much time there: she is always visiting her friends.
The middle sister is 25 years old. She is a preschool teacher. She always knew that kindness, responsibility and having a family were more important to her then having a brilliant career and lots of money. A few months ago, she got engaged to her high school sweetheart. However, they soon cut their relationship short and ended the engagement (why?). Her dreams seem a million miles away.
The youngest is 21 years old, only a year out of university. She has a degree in English literature, and is currently working on a novel named (what's it called?). She lives with the middle sister, and works all day on her novel and writes small poems which she sends to publishing companies to have enough money to live by. She has never really thought about a family.
Feel free to tell me more about the sisters!
Questions: Why does the oldest sister want to wait for a man?
Why did the middle sister end her engagement?
What is the novel the youngest sister is writing called?
Names: Name the sisters! Free choice. You can name the parents too if you would like to.

Eldest: Lucia Faye [32]
Middle: Nina Joan [25]
Youngest: Ruby Anna [21]
(You know, another thing I love about NTNBs is seeing how the families progress over multiple rounds. Anyway, Lucia is waiting because she believes love comes when one isn't looking for it. Nina broke off her engagement because she realized she was the side in her fiancé's life. Ruby's novel, "Prince of Lucifer" is actually only the beginning of a complicated saga of sin.)

DH [59]: Mikael Erik Jensen
DW [57]: Janet Elizabeth (Williams) Jensen
DD1 [32]: Charlotte Elizabeth Jensen 'Lotte'
DD2 [25]: Magdalena Rose Jensen 'Lena'
DD3 [21]: Emilie Dorothea Jensen
Lotte, the eldest of the three Jensen sisters, is often called the most boring. To many, her life as a dentist living alone is pretty dull, and she's often asked if she's lonely. However, she spends a lot of time in the company of her friends, and doesn't really see the rush to find a man. Sometimes her mother pushes her to put herself out there and go looking for the love of her life; Lotte, on the other hand, says that she's only 32 and these things will sort themselves out.
Lena, the middle child, has always been known for her kindness. She has always been the one who goes the extra mile to help others and always mediated arguments between her friends and family. When she left school, she realised that teaching was her passion, and she trained to become a nursery teacher. Her boyfriend since high school, Harrison, had supported her through all of it, and the pair got engaged six months ago. However, a few weeks later, he told her that he'd got a fantastic new job in America and he was moving there in a week's time. Lena didn't want to move, but said that she'd be more than happy with a long-distance relationship - Harrison didn't agree, and so the two broke off their engagement. They still text occasionally, but Lena is doing her best to put him and the heartbreak he's caused behind her. She focuses on her work and her family and friends, and agrees to let her younger sister Emilie move in with her.

Georgia Edith Teller, 32
Georgia has decided to wait for the right man because her own mother was only 17 when she was born. She never met her father, because he was 16 and ran as soon as he heard about Georgia's mother's pregnancy. She did NOT want to bestow that upon her children. SHE was going to break the cycle.
Darla Helene Teller, 25
Darla ended things with her high school sweetheart just a mere three months before the wedding. She found that he had been married once before, and he had just gotten out of the marriage when they reunited two years ago. He contacted the ex wife to find that he had two children that he refused to pay supports for, and that he became verbally and physically abusive to her and the children just a year into the marriage. She was not going to be his next victim.
Olive Penelope Teller, 21
Olive has been planning, writing, and editing her novel, Chance Encounters, since age 16. She is nearly finished. Her next goal is to buy a studio apartment of her own and begin writing books for a living. She doesn't have any plans or desires to have children anytime soon.

DD [32]: Theodora Elizabeth Mary O'Keely "Thea"
DD [25]: Persephone Diana Victoria O'Keely "Posey"
DD [21]: Andromeda Caroline Eve O'Keely "Andy"
***
The three O'Keely sister, Thea, Posey and Andy. Each of them different and yet they are very similar in many ways.
Thea is the oldest of three. Being single at 32 is raising quite a few eyebrows within her family, especially her parents Roger and Carol are rather worried that she might end alone forever. Thea however is not really concerned, her busy work and social life simply leave her with little to no time for dating. Which does not help her in her quest to settle for nothing less then Mr. Right. Her two little sisters love to tease her endlessly about this, but Thea just laughs them off and continues to nurture her helplessly romantic soul that would settle for nothing less then a guy who would sweep her off her feet and promise to cherish her for the rest of their lives, although she'd love to have a kid or two and the time is not working in her favor.
Posey had wanted to be a wife and mother for as long as she could remember. Two years ago she came close to her dream when she was about to marry her high school sweetheart and fiancé of two years only to find out that she didn't know him at all days before the ceremony. Not only did he cheat on her, but there was also a child on the way her happiness shattered to pieces. Breaking off the engagement was a no brainer and she hadn't look back once.
Andy is the youngest of three and the free spirit of the family is fully enjoying her life without commitments. Living in her sister's basement she is currently working on a novel "Peony dreams" that is set in medieval England and writing and publishing a poem here and there to pay for the bills.

DH: James Austin Thompson "Jim" (56)
DW: Julia Rose (Mariner) Thompson "Julie" (55)
DD: Charlotte Rose Thompson (32)
DD: Delilah Joy Thompson "Lily" (25)
DD: Amelia Hope Thompson "Amie" (21)
Jim and Julie Thompson have three daughters, Charlotte, Lily, and Amie.
Charlotte, 32, is an outgoing woman who spends most of her time either at work or out with friends. She is a dentist, working for a private company in a large town. She is also taking classes to specialize in dental care for those with special needs and hopes to open her own clinic someday. She has always wanted children, but has been too busy pursuing other things to get married yet! She has a particular idea about who she considers "husband material". She's not looking too hard for a man just yet--her upcoming trip to Australia with some friends is much more important to her!
Lily, 25, has been a preschool teacher for the past few years. She and her high school sweetheart, Andy, got engaged a few months ago and started to plan their wedding. A few weeks ago, Andy suddenly called the whole thing off. Lily was devastated. She had planned to spend the rest of her life with Andy (after all, they'd been dating for ten years!). Charlotte did some investigating for her and learned that Andy is now living with someone he met at the coffee shop last month. Lily is still coming to terms with her new status in life as a single adult. She asked Amie to move in with her so she isn't so lonely.
Amie, 21, has a brilliant literary mind. She has been writing stories and poems since she was ten, and got her first novel published at 17. She's currently working on the third book of her series, titled "Flashpoint" (the other two novels are "Up in Flames" and "Smoked Out"). The novels are about a group of firefighters. She recently moved in with Lily, but spends most of her days in her room, writing. She sends poems and short stories to some of her publisher friends and makes enough money to chip in for food and rent. Though she isn't currently dating, she has had a few boyfriends--nothing serious. Amie is most serious about her writing.

Oldest, 32: Nadia Cecile Glass
Nadia is waiting for a man because she's found she just doesn't seem to be attracted to people the same way other people are. She didn't really 'get it' as a teenager when her friends would talk about crushes - sure, some boys looked nice, but what was all this about? She doesn't consider herself completely asexual, and she would like a relationship but she feels like it's going to take someone in just the right window to interest her and she's willing to give it time. Dating for its own sake holds no interest for her.
Middle, 25: Clara Joy Glass
Shortly after their engagement, Clara's fiance found himself enchanted by a woman he met. After some serious conversations, he and Clara came to the conclusion that what they felt for each other was more of a deep friendship at this point. They'd just never found any reason to break up before, because they did after all like each other, and continuing felt like the thing to do. They parted ways sorrowfully, but amicably.
Youngest, 21: Irene Victoria Glass
Irene's novel in progress is called 'The Twelfth Gate,' and it is a young adult fantasy mystery. She has changed the name of the main character seven times but swears she has it now.
