[Games] Darkest Congrats Round Three
Hello again! Welcome to round three of Darkest Congrats. I would like to extend a special thanks this round to Caroline Mae, Avalon, Array, and Rachel (Serel Channah), who are joining this round. As for Starshelle - PM me as soon as possible, please. You'll be dropped next round.
As always, you each need to write at least a paragraph about your family. Write about the adoption/birth of the new child, appliance failure, a new job, whatever. Just write, write, write! :)
Read this if nothing else:
For this round, I need you each to put your couple's jobs/affiliation beside their names, even if it's SAHM (Stay At Home Mom). This is important for my mental state, which should be very important to those of you who don't want a dancing purple and orange rhino as a daughter-in-law. Try me.
This time I actually organized you in the list. The organization is not alphabetical, unfortunately. You are in descending order of number of children. If you remember how many children your family has, this should make more sense. If not, oh well, there's only twenty-four of you.
The name banks will be posted as a reply to this message.

Nick proposed. What did Georgiana say? If you married, change “Dbf” to “DH” and make a decision on the surname issue, and discuss the wedding, honeymoon, kids’ reactions, ect.
You were supposed to get three daughters (not triplets) this round. You may choose whether to work them into your family. If you decide to do so, something went wrong with the adoption/birth/whatever.
Number 1-10:
Do you want more children from the original family? (Well, Georgiana and Nick?):
As always, you each need to write at least a paragraph about your family. Write about the adoption/birth of the new child, appliance failure, a new job, whatever. Just write, write, write! :)
Read this if nothing else:
For this round, I need you each to put your couple's jobs/affiliation beside their names, even if it's SAHM (Stay At Home Mom). This is important for my mental state, which should be very important to those of you who don't want a dancing purple and orange rhino as a daughter-in-law. Try me.
This time I actually organized you in the list. The organization is not alphabetical, unfortunately. You are in descending order of number of children. If you remember how many children your family has, this should make more sense. If not, oh well, there's only twenty-four of you.

You were supposed to get three daughters (not triplets) this round. You may choose whether to work them into your family. If you decide to do so, something went wrong with the adoption/birth/whatever.

When Con was 2 years old I started talking to Ruslan again about going back to work. He reacted like before. He said that I simply couldn't go back to work, because our kids needed their mother at home. He has taken on a second job as a bar tender in the weekends, so he has no time to look after the kids and we had enough money to get by. I really miss teaching, and when I told him that he said I could homeschool our kids if I wanted to teach so badly. I was so angry at him for not understanding me. I told him it wasn't the same and that I regretted ever having children together with him. He told that that was my problem and walked away.
I went to a friends house leaving the kids with him. I stayed there for 2 nights without letting Ruslan or the kids know where I was. Two days later he stood on the doorstep there and when my friend opened he told him he had heard I was there and insisted on talking to me. In the end I agreed to talk to him and we ended up having a huge argument in my friend's house. I did end up going home with Ruslan. When we were in our bed that night we made up.
Nine months after that night Jay was born. I wasn't too happy with his arrival, because I knew that this meant that my dream of goign back to teaching was further away than ever.
A year later I found a baby wrapped up in a blanket on our doorstep. A note said that it was Ruslan's baby. When I confronted Ruslan with the baby he said that he couldn't be his. I first believed him, but I insisted he'd take a paternity test anyway. The result showed that Ruslan was the father. When I asked him who the baby's mother was he told me that he wasn't sure, there were 2 possibilities, but he couldn't remember the name of either woman.

Jackie and Paula are having some financial problems. After Casey was born, the couple decided they didn't need any more children. But Paula unexpectedly got pregnant 2 years later- with twins. Ben and Tori were born, and the family began to feel the pressure of having 8 children in the house. Money was not as readily accessible as it had been. 2 years later, Paula was pregnant again, and the situation only worsened. Jackie and Paula got into a huge fight about whether or not to abort the child. Jackie was convinced it was necessary- they barley had enough money as it was. But Paula strongly opposed abortion, and decided that one more wouldn't make a huge difference. After Isabel was born, Jackie got a Vasectomy, to prevent another unwanted pregnancy.
Casey is doing just fine in kindergarten. She has a group of three lovely friends who are sweet and don't treat Casey any differently than any of the others.

It has been five years since Tori and Carly were born. Wil and Lydia¡¦s fifth and sixth children, Isaiah and Jude were born 3 years and 1 year ago respectively. The family was doing all right. It was difficult to care for six children, but Lydia was managing. One day, Lydia heard a baby crying outside and saw that there was a little girl on her front porch. She found a note that said that the girl¡¦s name was Heather Branwen, and that she was Wil¡¦s daughter. Lydia couldn¡¦t believe it at first, but kept the newborn baby until Wil returned from work.
As soon as Wil saw the baby, he knew what had happened. He was in the process of counseling a pregnant teenager named Marcia. He sensed that Marcia had a bit of a crush on him and figured that after she had the baby she left it on his doorstep. After safely seeing Heather to the hospital, Wil confronted Marcia. She confessed that she had left the baby on Wil¡¦s doorstep. Wil and Lydia decided to adopt Heather, and completed the forms just last week.
The other kids are excited about having another sibling. Tori and Carly are especially excited to have another sister, and they have already taken Heather under their wing. Jack, always vigilant, has assumed his role of protector and big brother of Heather without a problem. He is always concerned about his siblings and likes to make sure that they are safe.

Well, it turns out that back when Rob's ex-wife was trying to convince him to have another baby with her, she sneakily and illegally managed to acquire and freeze some of his sperm, and recently used this to conceive another child. Since then, though, she has been suffering from severe depression and feels unable to raise another child, so she left it on Sophie and Rob's doorstep. They were understandably very shocked at first but have decided to keep Ethan as a welcome addition to their large family!
Rob has decided to give up his job at the university and the whole family are moving to Cornwall to be by the sea. Everyone is very excited!

Simon and Lucy had moved out of Manhattan shortly after the birth of Zane. They just needed more room for their growing family. They now live in a nice little town in Connecticut and Simon commutes into the city for work.
A neighbor of their's told Lucy about a story she just heard on the News. A couple from Cuba had defected and made it safely to US Soil with their twin baby boys. Not long after arriving in the US the couple was killed in a car accident. They have no family in the US and none that anyone knows about in Cuba. Lucy was so touched by this story that she checked into the possibility of adopting the boys. When she found out a bunch of people had also enquired about them, she put her name on the list before she even told Simon about it.
Luckily Simon also thought it was a great idea. Suprisingly Lucy and Simon were chosen to adopt them. Sebastian and Felix joined the family a few days after their first birthday. They quickly began understanding English and the transition, although not perfect, was smoother then they expected.
Forrest and Ross, who are best friends (and currently in 5th and 4th grade respectively), are doing well. They like their new brothers and enjoy teaching them to play baseball and soccer in the backyard.
Addie and Ellie, who are now 2nd graders, adore their new brothers and have loved playing "little mothers" to them.
Zane wasn't as excited with the new additions to the family. He was very jealous and acted out a lot. Now that he's started Kindergarten though he seems to be doing better with them and his jealousy seems to be lessening.

Since just before Audrey's birth, James has been spending more and more time at work and less and less with the family, and last week it came to a head when he missed Olivia's 7th birthday in order to supervise at a shoot in Germany. I tried to make her birthday as special as possible, but when James came back two days after it, we got in a huge fight and have barely spoken since, which is making everyone in the house miserable, and means that James is spending even more time working. Now that we've both calmed down a little, we're going to sit down and talk properly, and hopefully things will be okay again for Christmas.

AS: Carlo Ignazio Salvatore Mantovani (4) "Iggy"
Question: Can I use the Italian forms of some of the names in the namebank? It would fit with the story better.
After Dave and Nikolai's Baguadian shenanigans, the family remained in Italy for a few more years. The Malley children, to their parents' delight, are growing up bilingual. When Maria turned 6, Dave and Antonia also made the decision to homeschool their children, since they had no real long-term plans about where they were going to live. Antonia's family is very large; she is the second of eight siblings, and all of them but her still live in Italy. Her parents, Carlo and Donatella Arcangeli, are a very powerful and proud family locally, and Antonia's marriage to an Englishman and subsequent moving away caused her to lose some favor with the rest of the family. Now that the Malleys are living in Italy, though, and the Arcangelis have met Dave, they are beginning to warm up to them again. (The fact that the Malley children are bilingual feeds the Arcangelis approval.) [Man, tense tension runs rampant through this excerpt!]
Anyway, the youngest Arcangeli daughter, Rachele, has always been the most reckless of the bunch. When she was 17, she had a brief physical relationship with her employer Salvatore Mantovani, an extremely handsome, wealthy, and married man more than twice her age for whom she filed papers. When Rachele became pregnant, Dr. Mantovani flatly denied his paternalism, fired Rachele, and moved to Milan. Carlo and Donatella were appalled at Rachele's reckless sexual abandon and disowned her. To irk the two men who had messed her up, Rachele gave her son both of their names, but called him Ignazio because that one was her favorite name ever! She also made Antonia and Dave Ignazio's godparents, because Antonia was the second blackest sheep in the family, and Dave had expressed the opinion that they were all treating Rachele a bit rudely.

Something went wrong with the most recent birth. What happened? Are Serafina and the new babies okay?
It was exactly Carlisle's 30th birthday when I found out I was pregnant, again. We all were happy, especially Daphne. She didn't like being the baby of the family. When I went to the doctor for my first ultrasound, there were four blobs on the screen. You should've seen the doctors office. Every medical staff person had to come it to make sure the doctor wasn't seeing things. He wasn't. I was, in fact, pregnant with quadruplets. Later, when we found out t he genders, we dound out there were 3 girls (2 identical) and 1 boy. When they were born, the two fraternal had serious problems. The boy couldn't breath, and passed away in my arms only minutes after birth. The girl weighed less than a pound. The doctors tried to save her, but she passed. The other two girls (the identical ones) were born at 4 pounds exact and 4 pounds, 2 oz.

The Daniels family was very excited and nervous when Lydia went into labor last week. However, their daughter, Julia Heather, was born prematurely. She was not breathing. She was taken immediately to the NICU. The doctors tried to save her, but she did not survive. Julia's lungs had not fully devoleped. Lydia and Ray are very shocked. All of the other children are very sad and do not understand why their sister had to die. Poor Carol will not come out of her room. Loosing a second sister and daughter is just too much for the family to bear. The Daniels family deeply grieves over the loss of their second daughter and sister.

Instead of having children of your own, you have adopted a child from China. Discuss. You may use Chinese names instead of the name bank, give one Chinese name and one from the name bank, or just use the name bank.
We have decided to adopt, since the kids are older, and we are loving that the kids are learning the Chinese culture. On our trip to China to get Audrey, we took the kids along. They were in awe! We visited the Great Wall and introduced the children to lots of new foods. Audrey just loves her siblings. Ainsley is loving the fact that she's no longer the baby! She adores Audrey. We all do! Audrey is adapting well to her new home. At the orphanage, she shared a crib with 3 other kids, in a room with about 10 others. She sometimes gets lonely in the middle of the night because she's alone. We're teaching her how to walk and talk, and she's picking it up quickly.

When I picked up I was suprised to hear the principal's voice telling me that Cora had start hurting another boy in her class to the point where she pushed him off the swing set and he sprained an ankle. The mother of the boy insisted she suspended Cora. When Cora got home she explained that he was the one bugging her, we had to have a long talk about what is right and was isn't even if someone is bugging you. Hopefully this won't happen again.

First, a quick description of the DeWinterses, since I'm coming in late.
Connor DeWinters: Thirty years old, editor of the local newspaper. Black hair and brown eyes, reasonably handsome as well as reasonably tall. Enjoys watching football and cooking when he's not putting the latest issue to bed at work. Met Winnie in college and fell head over heels.
Winnie DeWinters: Twenty-nine years old, stay at home mother. Elbow-length straight brown hair, green eyes, curvy and with a ready smile. Has her BA in English and plans to write novels if she ever has a break from their little brood. Both she and Connor are devout Catholics.
Simon DeWinters: Nine years old and in the fourth grade at school. Light brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses. Studious, a bit shy at times. Quiet until you get him going, at which point he'll be happy to tell you plenty about whatever book he's been reading lately.
Frankie DeWinters: Six years old, in the first grade. Dark brown hair, hazel eyes, rather worn clothing. A rough and tumble little boy who is fascinated by bugs and would much rather play outside than come in for dinner or his bath.
Cecy DeWinters: Also six, in the first grade. Dark brown hair, hazel eyes, that her mother keeps pulled back in braided pigtails for ease of all involved. Loves to play outside, very imaginative, prefers stories to be told rather than read.
Bridget DeWinters: Five, in kindergarten. Ashy blonde hair (where it came from, no one knows), green eyes, and plenty of freckles. Loves to play pretend with her siblings, especially Simon (who indulges in his little siblings' fun), and hopes to get a new doll for Christmas.

William got arrested (again). What happened?
Once again, Victoria got a call. This time it was the CIA saying that they knew that she knew that William was part of the CIA, so they can tell her this):
"Unfortunatly, William was on a mission in another country. I'm sorry we cannot relase anymore informationa about the mission. The country's secret service people and police captured him while on that mission. We are trying our hardest to get him back."
As you can imangine, Victoria was terrified. What if they could not get him back, what if..." She tried her best not to give the secret to anyone, even the children. The children, family, and close friends began wondering where he was. Victoria managed to say "Oh, some long term internation business" which was kind of the truth.
In the end, the CIA went to a lot of costs to get one of their top agents back. The children were so excited to see their Daddy back. Victoria was so happy that he was alive. From being arrested, William got almost deaf. William and Victoria "explained" to everyone that William had been sowly losing hearing and he losed it almost completly in his internation buisness. That was why he took so long without being home, Victoria just was too sad to tell anyone then. Because of his hearing loss, William can't be a physical agent. His is working at the CIA building, making, helping, and organizing the plans and missions for the CIA, anything not physical because the CIA are afraid that he would die.
After this inncident, Victoria had twin girls, Lily Eleanor and Julia Ava. They used this cause to say why William came home at the time for the international hospital and the rehab because William had broken his left leg from not hearing.

No, we weren't planning to have more children. I thought five was enough, but I got pregnant again. Lydia, our youngest was three and half then, and we had a wonderful nanny looking after the children when I worked. So Henry and I decided to have one more child. We didn't tell the children until I went in for my first check-up. They were excited and all wanted to come with me, but wasn't going to have five kids come. So it was only Henry and me when we were told that we had not one baby, but two!
Honestly, I thought the doctor was joking. I mean, the doctor knew that we already had two sets of twins. But no, I was really expecting my third set of twins. Something seems to be really strange. I am a twin, and I know it runs in families, but three sets of twins is pushing it. The doctor asked me if I had been taking fertility treatment; it took me about five minutes to stop laughing.
I told the kids when I got home. I think Lydia was the only one who believed me, the twins thought I was kidding. When I assured them I was not, all four of them started laughing, and soon we were all laughing. I didn't want to call anybody that evening, but I got a call from my twin sister Sophia. Right after I said "hello", she exclaimed that she was expecting twins. That, of course, got me laughing again. When she asked what was so funny, I told her about my pregnancy. It was a very funny evening.
Anyhow, our twins were born a year ago today: Elijah Thierry and Sophia Winter (named after my sister, who named her girl Maria). They are both very happy babies (must be all the laughing).
Our older children are doing very good in school. Norie June and Rosie are in the same class, but we've found that Dylan and Ike do better in separate classes. Lydia loves kindergarten.

With eight kids in only ten years, there was bound to be tension between Rhett and Cecily. Undoubtedly, the two loved all of their children very much, but eight young mouths to feed can put a strain on any relationship. Rhett, for one, never expected to be a father of eight before the age of thirty; to help deal with the stress, he threw himself into his band and his music. Luckily, Cecily is a freelance photographer and can work from home, but more often than not she feels like a single mother, with Rhett gone so often on tour.
Everything came to a head one night, a few weeks after their youngest, Isabelle, was born. Cecily accused Rhett of neglecting his family and threatened to throw him out of the house; Rhett countered that his music career was what kept food on the table. The argument grew so heated neighbors called the police because of the noise of the shouting. The children were sent to live with family members while Rhett and Cecily went to counseling to work out their marital problems. They both agreed wholeheartedly that having more kids was totally out of the picture. Rhett promised to be around more for his family instead of wrapped up in his band, and he apologized to Cecily for his behavior. Now the couple are still trying to iron out the wrinkles in their relationship, but they're both still very committed to their children and to each other.

We were so thrilled to find out we were expecting twins again; however, soon after the birth of our beautiful children we found ourselves in the hardest times of our lives. Our baby, Daphne, was born with severe spina bifida. Her spinal column had never closed and a large portion of her spine was exposed even after she had fully developed. Because she was a twin, her condition went unnoticed because Isaac's presence had hidden her problem. I had a natural birth and when Daphne was delivered her spine was crushed in the birth canal and she died shortly after as a result.
I was devastated. Jacob was devastated, and even all the children knew how serious and horrible the situation was. I stil feel heartbroken over the loss of our precious little girl, and I can't help but feel responsible. When I found out I was pregnant again I was terrified because I didn't want something like this to happen again. Luckily, Dominic was a healthy and vibrant baby. We named him Dominic Hector after our darling angel Daphne Helena.
John Paul is a wonderful little boy. He is in third grade and is smart and pretty witty and clever for a boy of his age. He has dark brown curly hair and blue/green eyes. Henry and Evie are in second grade. They have different teachers this year, and seem to be doing well. Henry loves anything athletic and plays with John Paul a lot. Evie is a tom-boy. She is a born leader and her teacher says she is a social butterfly. Henry has black curly hair and green eyes. Evie has curly auburn hair and grey eyes. Nora is in kindergarten and loves to learn. Her favorite activity is reading and she loves reading 'historical" books her favorite one being, "Bill and Pete go down the Nile" Nora has dark brown curly hair and green eyes. Mary is such a sweetheart. She adores Nora and they play dress-up together a lot because they are the girly ones. She has wavy auburn hair and blue/green eyes. Isaac is a wonderful little man. He hardly ever cries and he has very wise eyes. He has black hair with little curls and dark grey eyes. Finally, little Dominic is a perfect baby. He loves his older siblings. Dominic has dark brown wavy hair and blue eyes.

We were so thrilled to find out we were expecting twins again; however, soon after the birth of our beautiful children we found ourselves in the hardest times of our lives. Our baby, Daphne, was born with severe spina bifida. Her spinal column had never closed and a large portion of her spine was exposed even after she had fully developed. Because she was a twin, her condition went unnoticed because Isaac's presence had hidden her problem.

Do you want more children from the original family? (Well, Georgiana and Nick?): yes please
Georgiana and Nick dated for 5 years. After one year of dating, Georgiana gave birth to a daughter, Jezebel. Nick was so happy about having their first child, but Georgiana thought that people should be married to have children. But, they didn't want to get married, just because of Jezebel. After 4 more years of dating, Nick asked Georgiana to married him. She said, "yes". Five months later the got married in Salem Mass., Georgiana home town. Their honeymoon was in Bora Bora. They both loved it so much. They hope to retire their, if all goes as planed. When they got back, they found out that Georgiana was going to have another baby. They welcomed, Daphne, nine months later. But, Daphne had a difficult birth. Her heart stoped. Both, Georgiana and Nicholas were very upset. To add to this, Nick sister, Joanna, died in a car crash. Joanna and her husband, Brian, both died, leaving a four year daughter, Bridget. Joanna and Brian, lived in Ireland. Nick was Bridget godfather, so he and Georgiana decided to adopt her. They thought, we have two 10 year olds, might as well have two 4 year olds. Jezebel loves having a sister the same age as her.
Stella is not doing so well in school. She is a bit of a rebal. She nevers listens and is always getting into trouble. To add to the trouble, she has a boyfriend. We didn't know that ten year old dated! Anyway, she does, against are wishes, but what can you do. His name is Benjamin Zarek. Well, Benji Zarek. Another thing is that he is 12. I told Stella, that dating is not good for a 10 and 12 year old. All she said is "you can't stop me!" We are hoping that this is a phase she is going through. Being the oldest to two little girls, their will do the same thing as her.

Evan and I recently had a fight because I got a job offer in Chicago and really wanted to take it, but he didn't think it would be good for the kids to transfer schools so suddenly, especially when Dylan and Lily have just started kindergarten and all the kids are very comfortable with their school. We decided to discuss it with the kids, and they all quite liked the idea of moving to Chicago, even if it meant leaving their original school. We have moved now and are living in a beautiful new home. Evan and I have also settled our fight and are now doing fine.
Jobs: Evan is a record producer. I am a cardiologist.

DS/DD: Justin Cedric "Jace" / Kathryn Helena (5)
Nathan, Benjamin, Nora, and Madeline are all in fifth grade this year. Nathan and Madeline are in one class, and Benjamin and Nora are in the other. Nora has the best grades; she got straight A's on her last report card. Nathan got four A's and two B's; Madeline got two A's and four B's; and Benjamin got one A, two B's, and three C's. Nora bears the closest resemblance to Daniel; she has wavy honey-blonde hair and Daniel's blue eyes. Nathan also has honey-colored hair, but he has Cata's deep brown eyes. Benjamin's hair is a mix of his parents'; it's wavy and medium brown. Madeline actually looks the most like Cata, despite the fact she is not Cata's child. She has the same straight dark brown hair and tan complexion, but she is the only one in the family to have green eyes.
Trent is in fourth grade this year. He is very smart, but he is also rather lazy (like his father). Trent is the tallest of the children and has light blonde hair and blue eyes. Cata jokes that she thinks Anna (Madeline's mother) got confused about which baby was hers.
Daniel is in second grade. As he has Cerebral Palsy, he has to use crutches to get around, and he has trouble keeping up with the other children. He gets frustrated often, but he never stops trying. Daniel has brown hair and eyes.
Jace and Kathryn are in kindergarten this year. They are both absolutely adorable. Jace has wavy dark blonde hair similar to Daniel's and brown eyes, while Kathryn has wavy light brown hair and blue eyes. Jace is very energetic; even Cata sometimes has trouble keeping up. Kathryn is more reserved, but she can get going when she wants to!
