- SO [22] Celia Genevieve DrakefordRebecca was bitten by a deadly snake soon after she moved to New Mexico, unbeknownst to the Buckleys. Phoebe simply assumed Rebecca had stopped contact with her.Marion had another daughter, Louisa. This one was a mirror of her mother, with the exception of blue eyes. Blue eyes just like Charlie. But also just like the late Lydia Grace. Marisol knows, or has a strong sense, the child is Charlie's, but doesn't tell Julian, of course.Back to Phoebe, though. The young spinster has really made a name for herself in the Maryland music industry as a singer. She frequents a few local clubs for gigs, some in the not so nice parts of town. It was on a dreary December night that she and Lori were coming home from a Christmas shopping trip that some of Phoebe's not-so-nice not-quite-friends brutally murdered both the singer and her niece, only seven at the time. It was this same dreary December night that frail little Edna was caught in the chilly rain. She succumbed to pnuemonia the night after Christmas.It was almost too much for Nathaniel's old heart. He received a pay cut, the second one in as many months on a few nights before New Year's. Things were not looking good for him.Jessie, through all this, has been hard at work, creating a landscaping business. All in all, he's been quite successful, mowing a lawn here, trimming a hedge there. The little bits add up. Through this, he's started seeing Celia Drakeford, a girl working her way through college at a local diner. The two have been going steady for about two years now, and want to get in more stable positions in life before getting married.Nathaniel was saved from his grief yet again by a friendship, this time with the neighbor June. June was a widow, much like Nathaniel a widower, and the two have formed a quiet sort of romance, recently engaged.Unfortunately Julian was killed in a training accident just this past year. Marion's only lifeline to sanity is Charlie now, and, without Julian in the picture, the two have become open about their romance. Charlie proposed to her very, very recently.(A/N: The dice really wanted it to go out with a bang, eh?)
