My name is Wentworth Talbot. My father is Frank Talbot, V, of Talbot Industries. I am his heir-apparent, even though I have an older brother.
I was born and raised in Hartford, Connecticut; I had a silver-spoon upbringing. When I was young, I (and my parents) thought that my brother, Harry, would be taking over the company that has been in our family for five (soon-to-be six) generations. However, Harry was always too busy being selfish and squandering whatever money our parents would give him. Eventually, my parents cut Harry out of their will, and my father began grooming me to take over the company, which I’ll be doing in another two or three years.
I went to Yale, like my father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, and my great-great-grandfather; I graduated top of all my classes. I participated in a play or two, and I was a Whiffenpoof singer.
Ever since I was a young boy, I have wanted a large family. I suppose this stems from only having one brother and not being very close to him.
My Family:
Father: Francis Harold ‘Frank’ Talbot, V [60]
Mother: Theresa Marjorie (née Wentworth) Talbot [51]
Brother: Francis Harold ‘Harry’ Talbot, VI [31]
Me: Wentworth Richard Talbot [27]
By the way, I have short black hair, blue eyes, and a pale complexion.

Hello, Wentworth. My name’s Olivia Abrams, everyone just calls me Liv, though. I grew in Ferriday, Louisiana and am part of the working-class. My Father works as an elementary school teacher while my Mother is a Doctor.
I went to University in Baton Rouge and am now a police officer. My older brother Jamie followed in my Mother’s footsteps at first, playing Doctor and such, but as he got into High School he focused more on art and is now a photographer in New York. My younger brother Will owns a small bookstore with his pregnant wife, Jacqueline. And my youngest brother, Charlie, just got out of nursing school and Mom got him a job at her hospital. My only sister, who was kind of an accident, is still in school.
I like the size of my family, five kids, but wouldn’t mind a couple more or a couple less if you are opposed to that many.
Oh, and I have long, wavy brown hair and hazel eyes, as do most of my siblings.

Hello, Liv. Your accent is delightful.
So, how did we meet? Were we both at a showing of your brother Jamie's art? I have an apartment in New York (also, one in Boston), so that isn't inconceivable.
Or did we meet in Louisiana? I would hate to think my brother might be getting into trouble down there (although I am the one who usually cleans up his messes).
Five kids sounds wonderful, but only if you are alright with that. After all, you are the one who will be giving birth to the children...
I should let you know that it is a tradition in my family to name a son after the maiden name of the mother; this isn't a problem for me, as I like the name Abram(s), but if you don't, then we'll have an issue.

Why, thank you.
I think meeting at one of Jamie's showings would make the most sense, and five children sounds just peachy. I also think two or more years between children is ideal, since I do plan on continuing to work and don't want to be on maternity leave constantly.
Although...do we have to use Abram/Abrams as a first name? I don't mind using it as a middle name but as a first name I don't particularily like it.

Well, we can discuss Abram/Abrams later; no use worrying about it if we never have a son. I agree that two or more years is ideal for spacing between children.
Anyhow, where do we live? As I said, I have apartments in NYC and Boston, but I don't think raising children in the city is wise (and I'd be very worried about your safety as a New York or Boston police-woman). Would you be willing to move to New England? I need to be in the area, at least for now, as my father is still preparing me to take over Talbot Industries. We don't have to live in Connecticut; we could buy a house in the suburbs in Massachusetts or Rhode Island.
