Everyone sits around awaiting for Lady Samhain to give birth to Lord David William II and her  daughter, Lady Eliza Penelope Howard, who is named for paternal great-grandmother and great-great-grandmother.

"Pretty much my son." Lord David states. "I was one that delivered your sister and you."

"Mom. Was my birth easy?" Lord David William II asks his mom.

"It was easy as any first births go my son." Lady Katherine states.

"Lady Karissa was giving birth to Lady Samhain easy?" Lord David William II asks.

"Pretty much so, she was our second daughter and I think Lord Andrew wanted  son." Lady Karissa tells Lord David William II.

"Lord Andrew Charles had to wait to get his first son after three tries." Lady Karissa tells Lord David William II " He got two sons back to back." 

"Just like he got two daughter back to back twice.' Lady Karissa tells Lord David William II.

Lady Karissa smiles at her daughter and she tells Lord Andrew Charles " I have set out for what I have been sent to do." 

"Gone are the days of Lord Patrick William Howard's damn Patriarch on Star Base 12 and look at the future." Lady Karissa states.

Lady Karissa sings    The Song I am Woman Hear Me Roar." 

"  I am woman, hear me roar

In numbers too big to ignore

And I know too much to go back an' pretend

'Cause I've heard it all before

And I've been down there on the floor

No one's ever gonna keep me down again

Oh yes I am wise

But it's wisdom born of pain

Yes, I've paid the price

But look how much I gained

If I have to, I can do anything

I am strong (strong)

I am invincible (invincible)

I am woman

You can bend but never break me

'Cause it only serves to make me

More determined to achieve my final goal

And I come back even stronger

Not a novice any longer

'Cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

Oh yes I am wise

But it's wisdom born of pain

Yes, I've paid the price

But look how much I gained

If I have to, I can do anything

I am strong (strong)

I am invincible (invincible)

I am woman

I am woman watch me grow

See me standing toe to toe

As I spread my loving' arms across the land

But I'm still an embryo

With a long long way to go

Until I make my brother understand

Oh yes I am wise

But it's wisdom born of pain

Yes, I've paid the price

But look how much I gained

If I have to I can face anything

I am strong (strong)

I am invincible (invincible)

I am woman

Oh, I am woman

I am invincible

I am strong

I am woman

I am invincible

I am strong

I am woman."
