Lord Richard William tells Lady Karissa " Hey Karissa. Get up. We have to get out to Clarence House. Lady Samhain is in labor." Lord Richard William tells her.

"What? Today is Lady Samhain's 25th birthday." Lady Karissa exclaims. " She is having her daughter on the same day I gave birth to her daughter only 25 year later." 

"Lady Elizabeth gave birth to Lady Karissa on her 20th birthday on the very day I gave birth to 20 year earlier." Lady Karissa tells Lord Richard William.

"I will get Lord Anthony, Lady Caroline, Lord Albert Edward, Lord Benny, Lady Sophia Dorothea and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann ready." Lady Karissa tells him.

"Lord Anthony. Dress your little brothers and Lady Caroline dress your little sisters. We have to go to Clarence Territory." Lady Karissa calls to her children.

"I am going to be a uncle a second time." Lord Anthony exclaims happily.

One by one all the children come together and they are led by Lord Anthony and Lady Caroline Matilda and the walk down the stairs and Lord Richard William and Lady Karissa look at their children.

They all board the Carey carriage and it sets off Clarence Territory and on their way they meet Lord Andrew Charles with Lord Charles III, and Lord Patrick William along with Lady Autumn Bridget and Lord Frederick David, and Lord Charles Andrew Howard IV.

Lord Anthony walk up to his sister "Thanks for making me a uncle sis."  Lord Anthony tells her.

"You are welcome Duke of Lancaster territory." The Duchess of Clarence Territory tells her brother.

"What about me, and I am horse meat." Lady Elizabeth asks.

"No. Duchess of Norfolk Territory." Lady Samhain tells her oldest sister.

"Gosh, sis. You made me an aunt and you told me it was my turn." Lady Samhain reminds her.

"Heck. Did you want my little Lady Karissa to be without a first cousin." Lady Elizabeth asks.

"She needs a playmate." Lady Elizabeth states, " Grant it, our little sister, Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann is her age and but they are aunt and niece" Lady Elizabeth tells her.

"Lady Karissa Elizabeth is not only her sister, aunt,she is her first cousin once removed." Lady Samhain tells Lady Elizabeth.

"Don't worry I am going to give the future Duchess of Norfolk and Wessex a first cousin  who will be the future Duchess of Clarence Territory.' Lady Samhain tells her sister.

"I knew I could count on you." Lady Bess tells her sister.

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.

Lord David William II paces up and down and back and forth and he ask " Was it this way dad when you were waiting for my sister and me?"

"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.

"I think only Lord Richard William wasn't so demanding as Lady Samhain 's father was." Lady Karissa admits.

"Gosh, Your Grace. I think you got lucky when Lady Karissa gave birth to Lady Samhain." Lord David William II tells his father-in-law.

" I love Lady Samhain as I love all my children." Lord Andrew Charles tells Lord David William II "I love Lady Caroline Matilda, Lord Benjamin Lawrence, Lady Anastasia Christina, and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann and Lady Sophia Dorothea." 

"I love my heiress, Duchess Lady Elizabeth and I love our granddaughter, Lady Karissa and I will love this granddaughter, Lady Eliza Penelope." Lord Andrew Charles explains.

Finally at 5 PM at Clarence Manor the cries of a newborn baby can be heard and Lord David William Beck Senior walks out carrying his first born grandchild in his arms and he calls out " May I present to you, The Right and Honorable, Lady Eliza Penelope Howard, the daughter of Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene Howard, Duchess of Clarence Territory and her husband, Lord David William Beck II and the second great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Lord Patrick William Howard."

Lord Andrew Charles holds out his arms and Lord David William Beck Senior places Lady Eliza Penelope Howard in his arms and he looks at her and states " Yes indeed she is the great-great-great-great-granddaughter of Lord Patrick William Howard and Lady Margaret Penelope Devereux." 

Lady Elizabeth walks over and she looks at her father " Give me my soldier." and she takes her new niece and she says " Welcome to the our battle Lady Eliza Penelope Howard. I know you will be a real credit to your mother." 

Then it is Lady Elizabeth with Lady Karissa and Lady Katherine who walk  in where Lady Samhain is laying and Lady Elizabeth smiles and says " Here is your daughter, Lady Eliza Penelope Howard, my new niece and soldier sis.' and she places her into Lady Samhain arms.

Lady Elizabeth holds Lady Karissa in her arms and she is surrounded by Lady Caroline Matilda, Lady Anastasia Christina, Lady Sophia Dorothea, Lady Autumn Bridget, and  Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann and she smiles at her father ' Welcome to the future of Star Base 12." 

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."

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

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.

The Trip to Lennox Territory

Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene Howard, Duchess of Clarence Territory marries Lord David  William Beck II, who is her second cousin once removed in June of 2294 in a double wedding ceremony with her eldest sister, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane to her second cousin, Lord Richard Edward Howard III.

Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard is 19 years old and Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene is not quite 18 years old and neither is Lord Richard Edward Howard III or Lord David William Beck II as they were all born in 2276.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR walks into where his son, Lord Andrew Charles is sitting and he summons his great-nephew, Lord David William Beck SR and when Lord David William Beck and his wife, Lady Katherine arrive at Beltane Manor.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR looks at his son, daughter-in-law, and great-grandnephew and his great-grandniece with his two granddaughters and great-nephew and great-great-nephew and he looks at them " Listen here Lord Andrew Charles, Lord David William Beck, Lady Karissa and Lady Katherine. My granddaughters want to marry my great-nephew and great-great-nephew, and I know they are not 18 years old, but Lord Richard Edward III will be 18 in September, Lady Samhain will be 18 in October and Lord David William II will be 18 in December. Let them get married." 

Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Karissa and he asks" What do you think Lady Karissa?"

"I am not opposed to Lady Samhain getting married. She will 18 years old in October." Lady Karissa states, " What do you think Lady Suzanne and Lady Katherine?" 

Lady Suzanne looks at Lord Richard Edward II and asks, " What do you think?" 

"I am fine with our son marrying Lady Elizabeth." Lord Richard Edward II states, "If we don't give our blessing. He will just elope with her." 

Lady Katherine looks at Lord David William and he  nods and answers, " There is nothing that can stop them loving each other and I want our son to be happy and he has made his choice in marrying Lady Samhain. They have my blessing." 

Lord Charles Andrew JR smiles, " These two marriages will reunite our families once again whereas my damn father caused the division between the Howard and Beck's." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

Lord Andrew Charles looks at his two cousins, Lord Richard Edward II is his first cousin and Lord David William is first cousin once removed and he tells them " We are already related by the same man, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior."  

"Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior was Lord Richard Edward II and my grandfather and he is Lord David William Beck Senior, Lady Elizabeth and Lady Samhain',, and Lord Richard Edward III's great-grandfather and Lord David William II great-great-great-grandfather." Lord Andrew Charles tells his cousins.

"I want to see my two oldest granddaughters and my great-grand nephew and great-great-grandnephew happy, as they are my two brothers' great-grandson and great-great-grandson." Lord Charles Andrew JR states "If they were here they would have intervene in their behalf but since they are not I will do it on their behalf."

Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Karissa " I am losing two of my daughters to my relatives." 

"Lord Andrew Charles there is an old Irish saying " A Son is a Son until he takes a wife, but a  daughter  is your daughter for the rest of your life." Lady Karissa tells him.

"Look it this way. You are gaining two sons." Lady Karissa states,"One is a Howard and the other is a Beck." 

"Don't worry dad. I am not going to change my maiden name to Beck. Lord David William Beck II understands." Lady Samhain states.

"In fact dad, Lord David has agreed that when we have our first child if a daughter will be given the  Howard Surname that way Clarence will stay within the Howard family." Lady Samhain tells him.

"I don't have to change my maiden as Lord Richard Edward III and I have the same surname of Howard and our children will always be Howard's." Lady Elizabeth tells her father.

"Lord Richard Edward III and I have decided to name our first daughter after my mother,." Lady Elizabeth tells her father.

"Our first son will be named after his father, Lord Richard Edward." Lady Elizabeth states, and our third child if a daughter after Lady Suzanne." 

"Lord David William II and I want to name our first daughter after his grandmother and great grandmother  Lady Eliza Penelope ." Lady Samhain states. "We will wait to start our family." 

"Granddad, Lord David William II and I want to travel to Lennox Territory to see my grandmother." Lady Samhain states.

"I think I can arrange that with your first cousin once removed, Lord Alexander Charles Stuart II who is your grandmother's nephew." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

"I know that your grandmother will be happy to see you, Lady Samhain and Lord David William II." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

"Lord Alexander Charles Stuart II is married to Lady Josephine Isabella Habsburg and they have a daughter, Lady Alexandrina Charlene who is about the age of Lady Caroline Matilda." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

"Lady Alexandrina Charlene is 12 years old and I know she would love to meet her second cousin and her husband." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

Lady Karissa, Lady Suzanne and Lady Katherine embrace each other as they will become mother -in-laws to one another and they will all share a grandchildren with each other.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR looks up and he calls out " Look at this old man. My granddaughters are marrying the grandson and great-grandson of my two brothers." 

"It was bad enough when you were alive and divided my family." Lord Charles Andrew tells his late father, " I have brought back together through my youngest son and my two brother's grandson and great-grandson."

"I am honored to escort Lady Samhain as it was a great honor to escort her mother up the aisle in 2275." Lord Richard William states.

"I will escort my father's heiress up the aisle." Lord Andrew Charles tells his father.

Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard on her wedding day is dressed like a princess benefiting her rank as future Duchess of Norfolk Territory and she is dressed in a beautiful wedding dress and her mother brings out the Stuart Tiara and tells her "Your grandmother left this for you Lady Elizabeth. She asks you wear it on your wedding day." 

Lord Andrew Charles nods ' I wouldn't be here without my mother  and she was a Stuart." Lord Andrew Charles states.

Lady Karissa brings out  The Carey tiara that Lord Richard William has been holding and Lord Richard William tells Lady Samhain"  This tiara belonged to my great-grandmother, Lady Sophia Charlotte Howard and she would be honored if you wore on your wedding day as she wore it on hers." 

Lady Samhain wears the same wedding dress as her mother did on her wedding day to her father nearly 19 years before and when Lord Andrew Charles looks at his younger daughter, Lady Samhain. It brings back memories." I remember when your mother wore that wedding dress on our wedding day.  She was carrying your older sister."  Lord Andrew Charles tells Lady Samhain.

"I always thought your mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw in my life." Lord Andrew Charles states.

"I second that." Lord Richard William states.

Lady Karissa watches as they say their vows to each other with Lady Suzanne and Lady Katherine they smile at each other.

At the wedding reception Lady Karissa sings " Child of Mine."

Although you see the world

Different from me

Sometimes I can touch upon

The wonders that you see

All the new colors

And pictures you've designed

Oh, yes sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Oh, yes sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

You don't need directions

You know which way to go

And I don't want to hold you back

I just want to watch you grow

You're the one who taught me

You don't have to look behind

Oh, yes sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Oh, yes sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Nobody's gonna kill your dreams

Or tell you how to live your life

There'll always be people to make it hard for a while

But you'll change their heads when they see you smile

The times you were born in

May not have been the best

But you can make the times to come

Better than the rest

I know you will be honest

If you can't always be kind

Oh, yes sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Oh, yes sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Oh, yes sweet darling

So glad you are a child of mine

Child of mine

Child of mine

Oh, yes sweet darling  

Lord Andrew Charles asks Lady Karissa for a song and she tells him to Sing Butterfly kisses " at their daughters's wedding.

There's two things I know for sure:
She was sent here from heaven and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night

She talks to Odin and I close my eyes
And I thank Odin for all of the joy in my life
Oh, but most of all

For butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk beside the pony, Daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny, Daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong, I must have done something right

To deserve a hug every morning And butterfly kisses at night.
Sweet 16 today
She's looking like her mama a little more everyday
One part woman, the other part girl.

To perfume and make-up from ribbons and curls
Trying her wings out in a great big world.
But I remember...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair.

"You know how much I love you, Daddy
But if you don't mind I'm only gonna kiss you on the cheek this time."
Oh with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses at night.

All the precious time

Like the wind, the years go by.
Precious butterfly.
Spread your wings and fly.
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride-room just staring at her.

She asked me what I'm thinking and I said
"I'm not sure-I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
She leaned over
Gave me butterfly kisses with her mama there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, Daddy-it's just about time."
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, Daddy? Daddy, don't cry"
Oh, with all that I've done wrong I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning and butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more, man this is what love is.
I know I gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning and butterfly kisses...
