The Baby Boom of 2305

 Lady Patricia Eugenie Beck, Duchess of Richmond Territory

Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene Howard, Duchess of Clarence territory is expecting her second child in January of 2305 with her husband, Lord David William Beck II.

Lady Samhain's eldest sister, Lady Elizabeth has already given birth to her second child, Lord Richard Edward Howard IV and he is his father's heir to the Dukedom of Wessex Territory, whereas Lady Karissa Ann, their eldest child and daughter, is heiress to The Dukedom of Norfolk Territory

Lady Samhain and Lord David Beck II already have a one child, a daughter, Lady Eliza Penelope Howard, but their second child will be given her father's surname of Beck per the agreement of their marriage contract they made in  2294.

Lady Samhain and Lord David William II had already agreed to name their second daughter, Lady Patricia Eugenie, after Lady Samhain's paternal grandmother.

Lady Elizabeth with 10 year old Lady Karissa and Lord Richard Edward III carrying their son, Lord Richard Edward IV in his arms walks into her sister, Lady Samhain and she smiles " I am going to have to a new soldier once again to add to my army."  Lady Elizabeth tells her sister.

Lord Anthony first child was son, Lord Alexander Andrew Howard and he was born in 2302 and Lady Alexandrina Charlene is also expecting her second child, and she is sure that it is another son, and he will be given the name of Lord Andrew Charles Howard II after his paternal grandfather, Lord Andrew Charles.

At the same time, Lady Caroline Matilda Carey-Riley is expecting her first child and she tells her two sisters, " I want a daughter and Lord Kevin and I will name her Lady Isabella Karissa Carey." 

"Come on I need soldiers to add to my army here on Star Base 12." Lady Elizabeth tells her two sisters and "I hear Lady Anastasia Christina is engaged to Lord Richard David Churchill."   

"Our brother let me down by having a son and not a daughter." Lady Elizabeth tells her sisters.

Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard is only 10 years old and it will be years before she is ready to marry as well as Lady Karissa." Lady Elizabeth states.

Lord Albert Edward Howard is married and I hear that his wife may expecting their first child as well. We can pray that it's a daughter.' Lady Elizabeth states.

Lady Alexandrina tells her sister-in-laws, "If this child is a daughter we will name her Josephine Karissa Howard and if it another son, Lord Andrew Charles Howard II."  

While the ladies are talking together Lady Karissa walks into the drawing room at Beltane Manor and she asks " What is this discussion about?"

"Mom. Lady Samhain, Lady Caroline Matilda, Lady Alexandrina and we believe Lord Albert Edward's wife, Lady Henrietta Ann may all be pregnant." Lady Elizabeth tells her mom.

"Why should I not be surprised. I have always said the Howard men were good at pro-creating but not much of a lover." Lady Karissa tells her daughters and daughter-in-laws.

"It's not true about Lord Anthony." Lady Alexandrina states " He is a very good lover." 

"I am happy to hear my son is a better than his sorry excuse of a father." Lady Karissa tells Lady Alexandrina.

"Gee, mom. Lord Richard Edward III is a wonderful lover, but he doesn't know how to handle me." Lady Elizabeth tells her mom.

"He better learn, Lady Elizabeth." Lady Karissa tells her.

"Kevin and I have a very good love life mom." Lady Caroline Matilda tells her mom.

"Lady Caroline Matilda. You must have inherited it from your dad and me. Your father is the best lover I ever had following Lord Charles Andrew Howard III." Lady Karissa proclaims.

Lady Samhain is quiet and she looks at her mom " Lord David William and I have a very good love life and in fact mom I am expecting our second child in January of 2305." 

"I have already told my late grandmother Lady Patricia Eugenie that i would name our second daughter after her." Lady Samhain states.

"It is very thoughtful of you to remember Lady Patricia." Lady Karissa tells her.

"If we have a daughter, Lord Kevin and I will name her Lady Isabella Karissa Carey." Lady Caroline Matilda tells her.

Lady Alexandrina tells Lady Karissa "If we have a daughter we have decided to name our daughter, Lady Josephine Karissa Howard." 

"I am very honored to be named after your daughters. I suspect that Lord Anthony is worried about me dying on him." Lady Karissa tells Lady Alexandrina.

"Gosh Lady Karissa. Lord Anthony loves you." Lady Alexandrina tells her.

"I love my son too, Lady Alexandrina. He is my firstborn son and he is the apple of his father's eye." Lady Karissa explains.

"If it is a boy, Lord Anthony is determined to name him Lord Andrew Charles Howard II." Lady Alexandrina states " I think if Lord Anthony lost his father he would die."

"Lord Anthony and Lord Albert Edward have always been close to their father as well as their youngest brother, Lord Benjamin Lawrence." Lady Karissa explains.

Lord Andrew Charles with Lord Richard William Carey walks into the drawing room and he says " What is all the discussion about?"

"Dad, Lord David William II and I are expecting our second child in January of 2305 and Lady Alexandrina tells Lord Andrew Charles " Lord Anthony and I are expecting our second child in March of 2305 and Lady Caroline Matilda tells her father " Lord Kevin Thomas and I are expecting our first child in June of 2305 and we think that Lady Henrietta Ann Bourbon is expecting as well." 

Lord Andrew Charles and Lord Richard William look at each other " Another baby boom like back in 2276." 

"I think that there were five babies born in 2276." Lord Andrew Charles tells Lady Karissa.

"Correct, Ms. Charlotte Victoria Maud,  Lord Richard Edward III, Lady Frederica Wilhelmina Howard, Lady Samhain, and Lord David William Beck II." Lady Karissa tells him.

"Let's see Lady Samhain,  Lady Alexandrina, Lady Caroline Matilda and maybe Lady Henrietta Ann Bourbon." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"I have how many grandchildren now?" Lord Andrew Charles asks.

"You have Lady Karissa, Lord Richard Edward, and Lady Eliza Penelope and Lord Alexander Andrew.' Lady Karissa tells him.

"I have four grandchildren two granddaughters and two grandsons." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"I share two grandchildren with Lord Richard Edward II and one grandchild with Lord David William Beck Senior and with Lord Alexander Charles Stuart." Lord Andrew Charles tells Lady Karissa.

"They are all related to you in one degree or another." Lady Karissa tells him.

Lord Richard William states " I share will be sharing a grandchild with my old friend, Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley." 

Lady Karissa smiles and she says " It makes me very happy that we will share a grandchild with Kevin and Lady Isabella." 

"Dad. We are naming our daughter Lady Patricia Eugenie after your mother as Lord David William II and I promised we would." Lady Samhain states.

Lady Alexandrina tells Lord Andrew Charles " Lord Anthony is going to name this child if a son, Lord Andrew Charles Howard II, but if it is a daughter, Lady Josephine Isabella Howard." 

Lady Caroline Matilda tells her father " We will name our child if a daughter, Lady Isabella Karissa Carey and if it is a son, Lord Kevin Thomas Riley III, but he will not inherit the Dukedom of Bedford Territory  and  I have enacted the law of matrilineal primogeniture in the Bedford Territory." Lady Caroline Matilda states, "This will ensure that Bedford Territory will not pass into the hands of anyone else but a Carey." 

"Lord Benny marries and he has a daughter I will place in the succession and her daughters, in lieu of daughters, any son with the Carey name." Lady Caroline Matilda tells her father.

"I have a aunt don't I father?" Lady Caroline Matilda asks.

'Aunt Lady Richenda Wilhelmina Carey married Lord Louis Valois and they have two children, Lady Elizabeth Ann Valois and Lord Louis Charles Valois and they live in Lennox Territory. Lord Richard William tells his daughter.

"I am afraid that won't work dad, she is no longer Carey and her children carry the name of their father Valois and I won't have Bedford Territory fall into the hands of another family." Lady Caroline Matilda tells her father.

Lady Karissa smiles as she sees that Lady Samhain, Lady Alexandrina, Lady Caroline Matilda are all expecting a new baby in 2305.

Lady Elizabeth looks at her father " I need an army to crush this patriarch that my great-great-great-grandfather started in 2159."  Lady Elizabeth states.

"What was my great-great-great-grandfather thinking about when he settled here and he had a daughter, Lady Elizabeth Ann who he created Marchioness of Pembroke, but it laid dominant until my grandfather gave it to my mother in 2274?" Lady Elizabeth asks her father.

"I have no idea what my great-great-grandfather was thinking as I wasn't born yet." Lord Andrew Charles states, "I am afraid that your own grandfather had no idea either." 

"I just know that your great-grandfather didn't care what the sex of his first born great-grandchild was as long as it came through one his three grandsons and you are the result of your mother and I." Lord Andrew Charles states.

'I have to admit my mom is great." Lady Elizabeth confesses, and Lady Caroline Matilda and Lady Alexandrina and Lady Samhain and Lord Richard William second the motion.

Lady Caroline Matilda looks at her mother "You have sacrificed so much mom." Lady Caroline Matilda tells her mother. 

"I know that you, Lord Andrew Charles weren't too happy when my father and mother got together and I was conceived in 2281." Lady Caroline Matilda tells Lord Andrew Charles.

"I will confess I wasn't, but I know better to tell your mother what to do and she has a mind of her own." Lord Andrew Charles states, " She loves your dad as she is married to him  now." 

"I told you one day I would marry Lady Karissa." Lord Richard William tells his second cousin,  Lord Andrew Charles.

"When I tell you I am going to do it. I am going to do it." Lord Richard William Carey states.

Lady Karissa is now Duchess of Bedford Territory and Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane is Duchess of Norfolk Territory." Lord Richard William states.

"I have loved Lady Karissa when I had to walk her up the aisle to marry you in 2275, do you know how my blood boiled when I saw my damn cousin marry the woman that I loved." Lord Richard William tells his cousin.

"Lady Karissa has given you five children and she has given me our two children and Lord Charles Andrew III a child, and you are the only one who never thanked her for your children." Lord Richard William states.

"I remember the day Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard was born in 2295, I never saw a happier man than your oldest brother." Lord Richard William states.

"Lord Charles Andrew III dotes on his daughter, Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard." Lord Richard William explains.

"Lady Karissa has made Lord Charles Andrew Howard III a very happy man and she has made me very happy with our two children, Lady Caroline Matilda and Lord Benjamin Lawrence."  Lord Richard William tells Lord Andrew Charles.

"Lady Karissa knows that I appreciate what she has done by saving what my great-great-grandfather started back in 2159 and preserving our family." Lord Andrew Charles states.

Lord Anthony walks in with Lord Albert Edward, Lord Kevin Thomas Riley II and they ask "What is this about?"

"My son, Lord Anthony. It appears that your sisters, Lady Samhain, Lady Caroline Matilda, and your wife, Lady Alexandrina are expecting a child in 2305." Lord Andrew Charles states.

Lord Anthony looks at Lady Alexandrina " We are having another son and I will name him after you dad. Please promise me you won't die for a long time?"

"I can't promise you that my son. No one can." Lord Andrew Charles tells his oldest son.

'I am honored you will name your son after me." Lord Andrew Charles states, "but I was named after your grandfather's favorite uncle, Lord Andrew Charles Howard but I was not giving the name of Lord Andrew Charles Howard II, as I wasn't his son and my father loved his favorite uncle, Lord Andrew Charles Howard." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"Mom if we have a daughter, we will name her after her two grandmothers." Lord Anthony tells his mom.

"I am very touched my son. Mom don't die on me please.' Lord Anthony asks his mom.

'Listen my son, my late father told me we are all born, we live, we aged and we die." Lady Karissa tells her eldest son.

"I don't expect to die anytime soon. I have Lady Karissa Elizabeth Anne, Lady Sophia Dorothea, and Lord Benny to take care along with Lord Richard William." Lady Karissa tells her son.

"I was talking to Lord Albert Edward and he is hoping that his wife, Lady Henrietta is pregnant as well." Lord Anthony tells his mom.

"Good Heavens, Lord Albert Edward is only 20 years old and Lady Henrietta is only 18 years old and they have plenty of time to start their family." Lady Karissa tells Lord Anthony.

"I have no doubt that your brother won't have children." Lady Karissa states 'You see your father over there. Every time we came together I became pregnant with one of our children, first, Lady Elizabeth, Lady Samhain, you, Lord Albert and Lady Sophia Dorothea and in between Lady Carolina Matilda and Lord Benny and finally my little Lady Karissa." Lady Karissa tells her son.

Lady Elizabeth states " I am glad you sure did."  Because I am Duchess of Norfolk Territory now." 

"I was born with a purpose to succeed my father and become a better Duchess than he was ever Duke of Norfolk Territory. I want to be remembered like my dear late grandfather, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR as he was remembered as "The Good Duke of Norfolk Territory." Lady Elizabeth tells her mother.

"I sure miss my grandfather." Lady Bess tells father.

"I miss him too, Lady Elizabeth. Your father was close to 90 years old when he died."  Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

"Your grandfather stayed alive to see his first great-grandchild born and he was happy to see when Lady Karissa was born and he was ready to go to his father, mother, grandfather, grandmother, and all of his brothers and sister." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"I know that your grandmother would be pleased you are remembering her, Lady Samhain." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"I do know that my eldest sister was named for both my mother and father, Lady Patricia Charlene Howard." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"You know your grandfather wouldn't forget to name his eldest daughter after her mother and him." Lord Andrew Charles states.

All the Howard's, Beck's, Riley's, Carey's, Collin's  and Stuart's come together to wait the birth of the grandchildren and they are related to Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard-nee Carey  who decided to save what Lord Patrick William and Lord Philip Carey, Lord James Charles Stuart,  Thomas Riley, and Lord David Edward Christopher Beck started back in 2159 when they all boarded the USS Excalibur on April 30, 2153.

Lady Karissa was determined not to see what these gallant gentlemen started when they first arrived on Star Base 12 from Post World War III that devastated Planet Earth by The ECON and Colonel Philip Green.

Odin got rid of that sorry bastard when he had Flint The Immortal leash the Ebola Virus on his camp in the Mountains of Montana and it killed his followers and him instantly.

Odin said "I won't stand it to see that monster ruin what I began so many thousands of years ago be destroyed." 

"I am going to get that sorry bastard back and he sent Flint The Immortal with the help of the Ebola Virus to kill his followers and him.

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."

The Second Great- Granddaughter of Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR- Lady Eliza Penelope Howard

Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene Howard-Beck, Duchess of Clarence Territory and her husband, Lord David William Beck have been married for 4 years and they decided to put off having their family until they were both 25 years old. 

Lady Samhain discovers February of 2300 she is pregnant for the first time, when their first child is born Lady Samhain will turn 25 years old and in one month later Lord David William Beck II will be 25 years old.

Lord David William Beck II was born 45 days after Lady Samhain on December 21, 2276.

When they married on June 21, 2294, they decided to wait to have their first child.

Lady Samhain was Duchess of Clarence Territory and Lord David William  II would in time inherit the Earldom of Essex from his father in 2315 when his dear beloved father, Lord David William Beck Senior would finally pass away at the age of 70 years old.

Lady Samhain would become Countess of Essex Territory with Lord David William Beck II.

Lady Samhain goes to see her father-in-law, Lord David William Beck Senior who at the time is still Senior Medical Officer until 2310 and Dr. Beverly Crusher becomes senior medical officer on Star Base 12.

Lady Samhain  walks into her father-in-law's office and he looks up " What a nice surprise Lady Samhain. What can I do for you?"

"Cousin David. I think I am pregnant." Lady Samhain states.

"It has been four years since you married my son." Lord David tells  her.

"We decided together put off having our first child until we reached the age of 25 years old." Lady Samhain states, " Being Duchess of Clarence Territory is a big responsibility." 

"Don't I know it, Lady Samhain. I  have been Earl of Essex Territory since your oldest sister's birth." Lord David states.

"I was 30 years old when I became Earl of Essex Territory." Lord David tells her.

"I have been Duchess of Territory since I was born in 2276." Lady Samhain states " I have two regents until 2294." 

"How many cycles have you missed?" Lord David  William Senior asks.

"I have missed two cycles ." Lady Samhain states.

"I would say that you are definitely pregnant but I will give you a urine test and internal exam." Lord David tells his daughter-in-law.

Lady Samhain provides him with a urine sample and he runs the pregnancy test and the test is run twice and it is positive and he says " You don't need an internal exam as the pregnancy test is positive." Lord David tells her.

"I would say that you have been pregnant since February and your child is due in November." Lord David tells her.

'Do you want a amniocentesis  test and a ultrasound to see what the gender of the child is? " Lord David asks.

"I would like to know if it's too much ask." Lady Samhain asks.

Lord David Beck Senior runs both tests and the ultrasound picture indicates the embryo is a healthy baby girl and when he runs the amniocentesis comes back it proves the child is a healthy daughter.

'My son and you are going to give Lady Katherine and I our first granddaughter and Lord Andrew Charles  and Lady Karissa  their second granddaughter." Lord David tells her.

"Lord David William II and I have already decided to name our first daughter Lady Eliza Penelope after your late mother and grandmother   and she will be given the surname of Howard as she is my heiress to Dukedom of Clarence Territory." Lady Samhain tells Lord David William Beck SR.

Lord David Senior smiles and he tells her " I am very touched that you want to honor my grandmother and mother." 

"Lady Eliza Katherine would be my  first cousin twice removed as you are my second cousin." Lady Samhain exclaims " She was the only niece of my dear grandfather, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR through his my grand-Uncle, Lord Edwin William Howard." Lady Samhain tells him..

"We plan to have three children but plan to space them out every five years and we plan to name our son, Lord David William Beck III, and our second daughter, Lady Patricia Eugenie Beck after my grandmother, Lady Patricia Eugenie Stuart."  Lady Samhain states.

Lady Samhain takes the ultrasound  and other test ad she walks out and she walks toward Beltane Manor and she walks up the sidewalk and she sees her mother, father, Lord Richard William Carey,  and her brothers and sisters standing outside.

"Hi mom and dad and cousin Lord Richard William." Lady Samhain tells them.

"What  a pleasant surprise Lady Samhain." Lady Karissa tells her.

"I wanted you to know first before Lord David William Beck II as his father knows I am pregnant with our first child , a daughter and we will name her Lady Eliza Penelope Howard." Lady Samhain tells her father and mother.

Lord Charles Andrew JR  has already passed away in 2299, and Lord Andrew Charles looks at his second daughter and he tells her " I wish that your grandfather had lived to see this day." 

"So do I dad." Lady Samhain tells him, "But I have mom, you, Lord Richard William Carey, and my sisters and brothers along with Lord David William Beck Senior, Lad Katherine and Lord David William II." 

Lady Elizabeth walks over with Lady Karissa Ann who is nearly 4 years old and she hugs her sister, " It is about time Lady Karissa has a a first cousin." Lady Elizabeth tells Lady Samhain.

Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Karissa and he says " I am how old?"

"You are 54 years old, Andrew Charles." Lady Karissa tells him.

"Lord Richard William Carey walks up to his third cousin, Lady Samhain and he embraces her " I am going to have a third cousin once removed."

"i think naming my third cousin  once removed, Lady Eliza Penelope is fine and it is after my cousin, Lady Eliza Katherine Howard who would have been my second cousin twice removed." Lord Richard William Carey states " As Lord Edwin William Howard would have been my first cousin once removed." 

"Dad. We plan to name our second daughter after Lady Patricia, who is your mother and without her you wouldn't have been here." Lady Samhain  exclaims.

"I agree without my mother sacrificing everything for my father. None of us would be here today." Lord Andrew Charles tells Lady Samhain.

"Our son we will name after his father, and grandfather." Lady Samhain tells her father and mother.

"It is honorable you name your son after your second cousin and second cousin once removed." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

 

"Lord David William Beck II and my daughter is due in November of 2300." Lady Samhain tells her father and mother.

"We are very happy for you, Lady Samhain." Lady  Karissa tells her daughter.

"Lady Elizabeth. I need to talk to you." Lady Samhain asks her sister who is now Duchess of Norfolk Territory and has been since June 2, 2299.

Lady Elizabeth walks over carrying Lady Karissa and asks "What is on your mind sis?"

"I need your support sis. I am going to enact a law within in territory whereas no males can inherit my territory." Lady Samhain states.

"You have it sis. I am all for matrilineal primogeniture and you have my support." Lady Elizabeth tells her sister.

"I am going to draw my Act of Succession to The Dukedom of Clarence and it is going to list, Lady Eliza Penelope Howard and Lady Karissa Ann Howard and if my sister, Lady Anastasia Christina Howard has a daughter, along with my sister, Lady Sophia Dorothea and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard." Lady Samhain tells her sister.

"I am afraid it has to be a Howard that inherits the Dukedom of Clarence Territory so it remains within the Howard family.  In lieu of my sisters having female children, I will add Lady Autumn Bridget Howard, and female children given the Howard surname, and lieu of her it will evolve Lord Anthony' s daughters, and then Lord Albert Edward Howard's daughters." Lady Samhain explains.

Lady Elizabeth looks at her father " I have come to end the Patriarch on Star Base 12 and on Norfolk Territory." Lady Elizabeth states.

Lady Karissa smiles and she tells Lord Andrew Charles " You see standing in front of you, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard, 1st Duchess of Norfolk Territory and the golden grandchild of Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR." 

Lord David William Beck II walks to Beltane Manor and he sees everyone gathered together and he walks up and bows " I thought I would find you Lady Samhain with your family."  Lord David William II tells her.

"I had to come and give my mom, dad, brothers, sisters, and cousin, Lord Richard William Carey our good news and she tells him " I am pregnant with our first child, it is a daughter, Lady Eliza Penelope Howard and she is due in November." 

Lord David William Beck II smiles " I am going to be a father at last." 

"My great-great-grandfather is going to become a great-great-great-grandfather when this child is born and my father is going to be a grandfather."  Lord David William Beck II tells Lady Samhain.

"What is this child to Lord Frederick William Howard?" Lord David William asks Lord Andrew Charles.

"Let's see, Lord David William Beck Senior is the great-grandson of Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior, he is the grandson of Lord Edwin William Howard and you are the great-great-great-grandson of Lord Charles Andrew Howard, you are the great-grandson of Lord Edwin William Howard, and the grandson of Lady Eliza Katherine Howard." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"This child will be the great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior and great-great-great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Lord Patrick William Howard." Lord Andrew Charles explains but since my late father was the eldest son, this child will be the great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Lord Patrick William through my father, who is the great-grandfather of Lady Samhain."  

"Your paternal grandfather was Lord William  David Beck,  and his father was Lord David Edward Christopher Beck , and he is this child is his great-great-granddaughter." Lord Andrew Charles explains.

"My father doesn't talk much about his father?" Lord David William II tells Lord Andrew Charles.

"My dear son-in-law, and second cousin once removed,  I do believe there is a reason for that. " Lord Andrew Charles states.

"My father told me that your grandfather didn't love his son, Lord David William Beck and he was raised by your grand-Aunt,Lady Sophia Charlotte Stafford and Grand Uncle , Lord Henry Frederick Stafford." Lord Andrew Charles tells his son-in-law.

"I know that you have a uncle, Lord Timothy Christopher Beck and he is married to Lady Katherine Henrietta Grey." Lord Andrew Charles tells Lord David William II.

"Your great-grandmother died shortly after she gave birth to your Aunt, Lady Lisa Katherine." Lord Andrew Charles explains.

"My first cousin, Lord David William Beck Senior is a fine man and he graduated with honors from Star Fleet Academy." Lord Andrew Charles explains.

"When did Lord David William marry Lady Karissa?" Lord Andrew Charles asks.

"Lord David married Lady Katherine Grace Kelly in June of 2275, and Lady Katherine became pregnant in March of 2276." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.

"I was 45 days pregnant with Lady Samhain." Lady Karissa states.

"My dear Lord David William II. You were the answer to Lord David William and Lady Katherine's prayer as your dear father was 30 years old when you were born." Lady Karissa tells him.

"Your mother was 28 years old and when Lady Edwina Wilhelmina was born in February of 2281, your father was 34 years old and your mother was 32 years old." Lady Karissa  tells him.

Lord David William II smiles and he walks over to Lady Samhain and he takes her into his arms and he kisses her and he tells her " I am so happy we are starting our family." 

"We will space our next child in four and half years after our first child, and another four and half years after our second child for our third child." Lady Samhain states.

"We will our son after his grandfather and father." Lady Samhain states.

"I think I want to name our son after my great-great-grandfather, Lord Edwin William Howard, who is my great-grandfather." Lord David William tells Lady Samhain.

"So be it, Lord David William II. We will name our son Lord Edwin William Beck." Lady Samhain states.

"I know if my father was here to here it  He would be so happy that you are honoring his brother who he loved so much." Lord Andrew Charles tells his second cousin.

When Lord David William Beck Senior hears that Lord David William II will name his son, after his grandfather, Lord Edwin William Howard and he smiles.

Lady Elizabeth looks at her brother-in-law, and tells him ' This is a time to celebrate." 

Lady Karissa tells them there is a song call " Celebration and she starts to sing it for everyone

What you're thinking of me.

I can see it your face is glowing

I can see it in your eyes.

I'm happy knowing' that you're having my baby.

You're the woman I love and I love what it's doin' to you.

Having my baby

You're a woman in love and I love

The need inside you

I see it showing

Oh

Baby

Do you feel it growing'

Are you happy in knowing' that you're having my baby?

I'm a woman in love and I love

What it's doing to me.

I'm a woman in love and I love

What's going through me.

Didn't have to keep it

Wouldn't put you through it.

You could have swept it from your life

But you wouldn't do it

No

You wouldn't do it.

And you're having my baby.

I'm a woman in love and I love

Lady Elizabeth is the happiest of them all as she looks at her sister and thanks her " Thanks for adding onto my army  sis." 

"You are welcome sis, but I couldn't have done it without Lord David William Beck II as you know." Lady Samhain states with a smile.

Lord Andrew Charles and Lord David William Beck Senior look at each other and they say " We couldn't have done it without Lady Karissa and Lady Katherine." 

Lady Karissa and Lady Katherine break out laughing and they embrace.
