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

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 Two Lady Karissa's

The Two Little Lady Karissa 

The Year is 2294, and both Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane Howard and her mother, Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard are expecting a child.

Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane is 19 years old and she recently married her second cousin, Lord Richard Edward Howard III and it is her first child with Lord Richard Edward Howard III, and it’s Lady Karissa ‘s 8th child and the father is Lord Charles Andrew Howard III.

Lady Karissa is close to 39 years old when she finds out she is expecting her last child as her first child as  Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane when she was nearly 20 years old.

Lady Karissa gave Lord Andrew Charles Howard five children,  and she gave Lord Richard William Carey two children.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard III walks to his youngest brother’s office at Beltane Manor and he knocks on it and he hears Lord Andrew Charles call out “ Come on in.” and with that Lord Charles Andrew III walks in and Lord Andrew Charles looks up and asks, “What is on your mind bro?” 

“Listen here, Lord Andrew Charles. Don’t blow your stack now, but Lady Karissa and I are expecting a child in 2295.” Lord Charles Andrew III tells him.

Lord Andrew Charles looks at his oldest brother “ Should I be surprised bro. Lady Karissa has given Lord Richard William Carey two children, Lady Caroline Matilda and Lord Benjamin Lawrence.”  Lord Andrew Charles tells his brother.

“I have a daughter with Lady Theresa Hardwick, and I love her as do her sisters and brothers including Lady Caroline Matilda and Lord Benjamin Lawrence.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“I am hoping for a daughter, bro. Lady Charlotte is a big disappointment.’  Lord Charles Andrew III states, “but at least my son, Lord Charles Andrew Howard IV is turning out fine.” 

“At least we have sons, whereas Lord Patrick William doesn’t.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“Do you know what I had to go through to get my two sons?” Lord Andrew Charles states, “ They arrived five year later after Lady Elizabeth and the second one arrived 5 years and 3 months later after his eldest brother.” 

“I mean don’t get me wrong bro, I love all of my daughters, and dad dotes on Lady Elizabeth.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“I love Lady Caroline Matilda and Lord Benny.” Lord Andrew Charles tells him.

“When dad looks at Lady Caroline Matilda. He thinks of our late grand Aunt, Lady Sophia Charlotte and he thinks of our grandfather.” Lord Andrew Charles tells his oldest brother.

“I guess he is wondering why he is still alive when everyone in his family has gone before him.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“Dad has a daughter, Lady Frederica Wilhelmina that needs him and until she is grown he will be here.” Lord Charles Andrew III tells his brother.

“Lady Frederica Wilhelmina is nearly 18 years old and Lady Elizabeth and Lord Richard Edward III want him to stay alive until he sees his first great-grandchild.” Lord Andrew Charles tells his brother.

Lady Karissa and Lady Elizabeth walk down the corridor together and they knock on Lord Andrew Charles' office and he calls out “Come on in?” and Lady Karissa and Lady Elizabeth walk in and he looks at them “ I have some news to share with Uncle Lord Charles Andrew III and you, but where is my grandfather?” Lady Elizabeth asks.

“Dad is at York Manor.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her “ He will be here tomorrow but what is the news you want to share?”

“I wanted granddad to be here, but I will share it with Uncle, Lord Charles Andrew III and you, as mom already knows “ Lord Richard Edward III and I are expecting our first baby in May of 2295.”  Lady Elizabeth tells her father.

“I am going to make you a grandfather and my dear grandpa a great-grandfather.” Lady Elizabeth tells him.

“Uncle Lord Charles Andrew III will become a grand-Uncle.” Lady Elizabeth tells her uncle.

Lord Charles Andrew III smiles and says, “ Congratulations,dear Lady Elizabeth and tell our cousin, Lord Richard Edward III the same.” 

“Lord Richard Edward III and I have decided to name our child if it’s a girl after my mom, Lady Karissa Ann.” Lady Elizabeth states.

“If we have a son he will be named after his father, Lord Richard Edward Howard III.” Lady Elizabeth tells his father.

“What do you know about my great Uncle?” Lady Elizabeth asks.

“Lady Bess. I know he was born in 2215 and he was the second son of our grandfather, Lord Charles Andrew Howard Senior.  Your grandfather and he were very close along with Lord George Carey.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

“Lord Richard Edward Howard Senior was a free-spirit and he married in 2248 to Lady Antoinette Bourbon and they had your first cousin once removed, Lord Richard Edward Howard II in 2250 and they had a daughter, Lady Edwina Richenda Howard in 2256.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“I was there when Lord Richard Edward II married Lady Suzanne Bell in 2275. They married after your mom and I married in 2275 and Lord Richard Edward III was born in September of 2276.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“I think dad said his brother died in 2269, and his mother raised him along with his sister.” Lord Andrew Charles  states, “He is my favorite cousin.” 

“Lady Suzanne and your mom knew that Lord Richard Edward III and you were going to be married eventually and so did your grandfather.” Lord Andrew Charles tells her.

“Lady Bess. Marriage is not a piece of cake. You will have lovers' spats and disagreements.” Lord Andrew Charles explains. “Your mom and I have persevered all of this time.” 

“I am sure that Lord Richard Edward III and you will have a long and happy marriage together.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

Lord Charles Andrew III tells Lord Andrew Charles “ I am naming our daughter after her mother, Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard.” 

“She will be my greatest treasure, but I have a request to ask of all of you. You know I am getting up there in age. I want you to promise that you will take care of my daughter and her mother.” Lord Charles Andrew Howard III asks.

“Please distribute my Trust fund equally to Lord Charles Andrew Howard IV and this child and make sure that Lady Karissa is well taken care of bro.” Lord Charles Andrew III asks.

“Don’t worry bro. I can assure you of that as our grandfather has provided for the mother of his first great-grandchild, and Lord Richard William Carey is making sure that his children and Lady Karissa are well taken care of too along with me.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

“I have asked her brother to walk her up the aisle when she marries if I am not here to take care of it.” Lord Charles Andrew III states.

“I have left nothing for Lady Charlotte Victoria Maud.” Lord Charles Andrew III tells his brother.

“Dad told me that my grandfather has left me a trust fund of 100,000 credits and I want it to be distributed equally between Lord Charles Andrew IV and this child.” Lord Charles Andrew III states.

“Lady Karissa when she is born will become my heiress to Sussex Territory.” Lord Charles Andrew III states.

“Lord Charles Andrew Howard IV is Duke of Albany Territory.” Lord Charles Andrew III states “ Make sure he marries well.” 

“Lord Charles Andrew Howard IV is 12 years old now and in time he will marry and carry on my name.” Lord Charles Andrew III states.

Lord Richard Edward II and Lady Suzanne arrive with Lord Richard Edward Howard III and Lord Richard Edward II walks up to his two first cousins and he says “Looks like we are going to share a grandchild.” 

“Heck, cousin. We are already first cousins and this child will be our third cousin besides our grandchild.” Lord Andrew Charles tells Lord Richard Edward II.

“Dad will be so happy when he hears this news. '' Lord Andrew Charles states, “I only wish that your father had lived to see this day as well.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR hears the news and he rushes in to tell Lady Sarah “ I am going to be great-grandfather, Lady Sarah.”

“Lady Frederica will be a grand-Aunt.” Lord Charles Andrew JR states. “ I wish my dear brother was here to see this day.” 

“We grew up together and along with Lord George Carey.” Lord Charles Andrew JR tells Lady Sarah “ We were all best buddies.” 

“I am the only one left out of the three of us.” Lord Charles Andrew JR tells Lady Sarah.

“I lost Lord Richard Edward in 2269, followed by Lord Robert and Lord George.” Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

“There is a reason why Odin has kept you alive, Lord Charles Andrew JR it was so you could see your first great-grandchild born.” Lady Sarah exclaims.

“I have held on this long to see my first great-grandchild born and when I do I will be ready to join Odin in Valhalla.” Lord Charles Andrew JR tells Lady Sarah.

“I have asked our sons to lay me next to my father, mother, brothers, sister, Aunt Sophia Charlotte, Lord William Carey and my uncles.” Lord Charles Andrew JR tells her. “ I have arranged for you to be laid next to me when the time comes.” 

“Lord Andrew Charles tells me that Lady Karissa has the New Howard-Carey Mausoleum out at Beltane Manor, but I was born at Norfolk Estate that manor my great-grandfather built with his own hands  in 2164.” Lord Charles Andrew JR tells her.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR is still the patriarch of The Howard family and he orders the bells over Norfolk and York to ring throughout the territory to announce the coming of the first great-great-great-great-grandchild of Lord Patrick William Howard of a blessed Memory.

The bells can be heard long and wide and Lady Elizabeth stands with Lord Richard Edward III and they smile at each other.

Lord Andrew Charles and Lord Richard Edward III embrace each other along with Lord Charles Andrew III and they celebrate the birth of the first great-great-great-great-grandchild of Lord Patrick William Howard.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard still builds his hopes on Lady Samhain and Lord David William Beck II to bring the Howard’s and Beck’s together as Lord David William Beck II is the great-great-grandson of his younger brother, Lord Edwin William Howard through his only niece, Lady Eliza Katherine Howard.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard declares “ Damn both my grandfather and father. They separated this family enough.” 

“I am sure glad that my great-grandfather wasn’t alive to see it.” Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

“I wanted to marry Lady Charlotte Augusta Beck, but my damn father wouldn’t allow it and Lady Patricia and I were made to marry each other.” Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

“I wish my dear mother had the guts that my grandmother had when she took out her sword and threatened to cut my damn grandfather into collops along with her sons.” Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

“The Beaufort's and The Churchill's are two different families. My grandmother was afraid of no one.” Lord Charles Andrew JR states, “ Lady Karissa reminds me of my grandmother.” 

“Gosh, dad. Lady Karissa is one of a kind.” Lord Andrew Charles states, “I know she reminds you of your grandmother.” 

“Lady Karissa threatened me that she would murder me with her own hands and feed me to the vultures.” Lord Andrew Charles states “ As well poisoning me.” 

Lord Charles Andrew JR breaks out laughing “ I would watch your step with Lady Karissa . My grandmother never bluffed my grandfather.” Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

“Dad. I have some good news.” Lord Charles Andrew III tells his dad.

“Lady Karissa and I are going to have a daughter in May of 2295.” Lord Charles Andrew III tells his dad.

“I am naming her after her mother Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard and she will become my heiress to the Dukedom of Sussex Territory.” Lord Charles Andrew Howard III states.

Lady Elizabeth tells her grandfather “ Lord Richard Edward III and I are naming our daughter my mom Lady Karissa Ann Howard.” 

Lord Richard William and his two musketeers come in “ We heard the good news about our newest cousins.” 

“They will be named for Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann who helped to preserve what Lord Patrick William Howard began back in 2164.” Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR states.  

Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann looks on and she tells her daughter, “I am very touched you loved me so much to name your first daughter after me.” 

“Gosh, mom. You put up with dad this long.” Lady Elizabeth states.”How did you do it.?”

“It hasn’t been easy, Lady Elizabeth. Lord Charles Andrew III and Lord Richard William Carey made it bearable.” Lady Karissa states.

“Please Lord Richard Edward III, don’t make the same mistakes that your first cousin once removed has made with his marriage to my daughter.” Lady Karissa asks.

“Keep her happy and satisfied.” Lady Karissa asks.

“Don’t worry Lady Karissa . Lady Bess already wears me out in bed and she is uncontrollable.” Lord Richard Edward III tells her.

“Don’t have too many children.” Lady Karissa tells Lord Richard Edward III “ My daughter is not a breeding mare for the Howard’s and she will do her duty towards your great-great-great-grandfather.”  

“We plan to have only three children and after this one we will wait and try again in 2300 to have our second child.” Lady Elizabeth tells her mother.

“I am glad to hear it, Lady Bess.” Lady Karissa tells her.

Lady Samhain is 18 years old, Lord Anthony Christopher is 14, Lady Caroline Matilda is 12, Lord Albert Edward is nearly 9 years old, Lady Anastasia Christina is nearly 9 years old, Lord Benny is nearly 7, Lady Sophia Dorothy is nearly 5 years old.

Lord Charles Andrew Howard IV was nearly 12 years old at the time the new announcement.

Lady Samhain and Lord David William Beck II walk in and Lady Bess tells her “ You are about to become an Aunt and Uncle.” 

“Gosh sis, I am only 18 years old.” Lady Samhain tells her.

“Listen sis, the next time is your turn to make me an Aunt.” Lady Bess tells her and Lady Bess and Lady Samhain start dancing around with each other about the coming of their newest family member.

Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Karissa “ Who is the next we are going to lose?” 

“I would think it would be Lord Anthony Christopher Howard.” Lady Karissa states, “followed by Lady Caroline Matilda, followed by Lord Albert Edward, Lady Anastasia Christina, followed by Lord Benny, followed by Lady Sophia Dorothea, and finally Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann.” Lady Karissa tells him.

Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard await the birth of their children in 2295.

“My mother sister, , grandfather and grandmother are laid to rest at The Howard Mausoleum at Norfolk Estate.” Lord David tells her.

“My paternal aunt was my only family as my father abandoned me and I have a first cousin, Lord Timothy Christopher Beck who is married to Lady Katherine Henrietta Grey and they have a daughter, Lady Theresa Christina Beck and a son, Lord David Edward Christopher Beck III .” Lord David tells Lady Kate.

Lady Katherine walks over to her husband, Lord David and she embraces him “ You will be alive to see our first grandchild be born.” 

“Our son made a wise choice when he married his second cousin once removed, Lady Samhain and through them they will bridge the gap between the Beck’s and Howard’s.” Lady Katherine tells Lord David.

“I only have vague memories of us being in her garden at White-Hall Estate.” Lord David tells her.

Lord David William Beck SR never tells Lady Katherine that he was in love with Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard before she married his first cousin once removed, Lord Andrew Charles Howard.

It was in August of 2274 when a 19 year old Karissa Elizabeth Anne Lowell walked into his medical office at Star-Fleet Academy and he looked up and asked her “What can I do for you Mademoiselle Karissa .” 

It was as it was yesterday, but it had nearly 20 years before it happened and he was just smitten with her as Lord Andrew Charles Howard, Lord Richard William Carey, and Lord Charles Andrew Howard III.

Lord David William Beck insisted upon marriage before they even slept together and with that Karissa walked right out of his life, and he had never forgotten it.

It was through Lady Karissa that he meets Katherine Grace Kelley, and she is not an aristocrat and an ordinary person on Star Base 12.

It was a perfect match and Lady Karissa knew it and they married    and in March of 2276 she conceived Lord David William Beck when Lady Karissa was carrying Lady Samhain in January of 2276.

The two second cousins once removed are inseparable and wouldn’t you know it in 2292, Lady Samhain at the same time that Lady Elizabeth announces she is engaged to Lord Richard Edward Howard III is also engaged to Lord David William Beck II.

Lady Samhain’s engaged to Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR youngest brother’s great-grandson is answer to his prayer and he thanks Odin for bringing them together.

In June of 2294, on the arm of Lord Richard William Carey, her third cousin, she was escorted up the aisle at the same time Lord Andrew Charles escorted Lady Elizabeth up the altar to marry their second cousin, Lord Richard Edward Howard III.

In a double wedding ceremony, Lord Andrew Charles loses his two oldest daughters to their second cousins.

Lady Karissa along with Lady Katherine and Lady Suzanne watch their children marry each other along with Lord Charles Andrew JR and he is crying tears of joy as he sees his two granddaughters bring his family back together that his father has torn apart.

Lord Charles Andrew JR walks up to his two granddaughters and the grandson of his brother, Lord Richard William Senior and the great-great-grandson of his youngest brother, Lord Edwin William Howard and he embraces them “ I won’t ever be able to thank you for bringing my family back together after what your great-grandfather and great-great-great-grandfather did.”  Lord Charles Andrew JR tells them.

“I want all of you to be happy.” Lord Charles Andrew JR tells them “Thanks to your mother and father, Lady Bess and Lady Samhain. They have abolished the practice of pre-arranged marriages.” 

Lord Richard Edward II, Lord David William Beck Senior and Lord Andrew Howard look on at Lord Charles Andrew JR and Lord Andrew Charles tells his cousins, “ All I want to see is my dad is happy. He has been the best dad I ever had.” Lord Andrew Charles states.

Lady Karissa walks up with Lord Richard William Carey and they say “ We second that. He is one of a kind.” 

“Lord Charles Andrew JR is a real credit to his grandfather, Lord Patrick William Howard.” Lady Karissa tells everyone.

“It was one of my wishes that my dad was able to marry a second time for love and he loves Lady Sarah.” Lord Andrew Charles states :”and my little sister, Lady Frederica Wilhelmina is a real beauty.”

Lady Samhain and Lord David William wait to have their first child for at least four years when their first child is born in 2300, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR has already passed away.

Finally Lady Elizabeth and Lady Karissa enter their eight month of pregnancy and Lord David, Lord Charles Andrew Howard III, Lord Andrew Charles, and Lord Richard William and Lord Richard Edward III, Lord Richard Edward II and Lady Suzanne wait for which one will go into labor first.

May 1, 2295, it is Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane ‘s 20th birthday and Lord Charles Andrew JR walks up to his firstborn grandchild who is the apple of his eye “ You were the diamond in my crown when your dear mother gave birth to you 20 years ago” 

Lord Charles Andrew JR tells Lady Elizabeth.

“You saved what my dear grandfather started so long ago here on Star Base 12.” Lord Charles Andrew JR tells her. “ How can I ever repay your mother for the sacrifice she made to save what my dear grandfather started here.” 

“You don’t have to thank me, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR but I couldn’t have done without your son.” Lady Karissa tells Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR.

“I understand what Lord Patrick William Howard went through as I went through it myself about 121 years later and it couldn’t have been easy on him as it wasn’t easy on me.” Lady Karissa explains.

“You have made sure that what my cousin’s great-great-grandfather, Lord Thomas Carey started here as well didn’t end.” Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

“I love Lord Richard William Carey and Lady Caroline Matilda and Lord Benjamin Lawrence are my dearest children.” Lady Karissa states.

“I couldn’t let Lord Charles Andrew Howard III not have a second daughter since Lady Charlotte has let him down.” Lady Karissa states.

“I am thanking you from my grandfather, Lord Patrick William Carey and Lord Richard William Carey’s grandfather, Lord George Carey, who was my best friend along with my brother, Lord Richard Edward. Thank you from the bottom of our heart.s.’ Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

“I will say your welcome to them all when I enter Valhalla.” Lady Karissa tells Lord Charles Andrew JR.

Finally, Lady Karissa feels her first labor pains and she looks at Lord Charles Andrew III and Lord David William Beck and they look at each other and Lord David says “ Let’s go deliver this baby.” and with that by Lady Karissa side Lord Charles Andrew Howard III and Lord David walk into the birthing room at Beltane Manor and at 2 PM  the cries of a newborn baby can be heard and Lord Charles Andrew Howard III “ I have a new daughter finally  and her name is Lady Karissa Elizabeth Anne Howard and she is my heiress.” 

Lord Charles Andrew Howard III walks out carrying his new daughter and says “Look at my new daughter. Isn’t she beautiful?” 

Lord Andrew Charles looks at his brother and says “ Of course she is a Howard.” 

“Look dad. Look at your newest granddaughter.” Lord Charles Andrew Howard III tells his father.

“Yes, she's Howard.” Lord Charles Andrew JR states.

“She looks a lot like her paternal great-grandmother, Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort.” Lord Charles Andrew Jr tells his son.

Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane walks over and she looks at them “ Alright now, Lady Karissa is my sister.”  Lady Elizabeth tells them and she holds out her arms and Lord Charles Andrew III places Lady Karissa in her arms and she kisses her and says “Hi sis. I love you and I will protect you.” 

Lord Anthony with his sisters and brothers and Lord Charles Andrew IV walk in and they walk over to where Lady Elizabeth is holding their baby sister and they smile “ She is beautiful.”  They tell Lord Charles Andrew Howard III.

Lady Elizabeth walks over to her mother “ Here mom, here is my newest soldier for you to hold.”  Lady Elizabeth tells her mom. “The more women we have on Star Base 12 and when I ascend to the Dukedom I am going to crush this patriarch.” Lady Elizabeth tells her mother.

Lady Elizabeth looks at her mother and she says. “ Cousin, Lord David, please come here.” and Lord David walks over and says “ Lady Elizabeth, Your turn now and after that I am retiring I am going on 50 years old.” 

At 7 PM at Beltane Manor, Lady Elizabeth gives birth to Lord Charles Andrew JR first great-grandchild, Lady Karissa Ann Howard who is also his younger brother’s great-grandchild too..

Lord Richard Edward III with his father, Lord Richard Edward II and his father in law, Lord Andrew Charles, walks into the suite where Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane is holding Lady Karissa Ann Howard in her arms and she smiles “ Look we have a daughter and she will become the 2nd Duchess of Norfolk Territory.”
