User Name: Zephyrine
LN: DesRocher
DH: Daniel Phillipe Henri (51)
DW: Aurora Isabelle (31)
DS: Elijah William (14) {Illegitimate - Father - Daniel}
DS: Jean Claude “Claude” (5)
DD: Rosanna Naomi 'Rose' (3)
DD: Clementine Therese 'Clem' (5 months)
Number: 54
Rules: Names from Shakespeare/LiteratureSo its been three years since Rosanna was born and its been all change here - our family has grown quite substantially! Firstly, our second daughter Clementine was born 5 months ago - she is a little darling and we all love her to bits. There has also been another new arrival in the shape of Elijah. One Friday afternoon 3 months ago the kids and i were at home waiting for Daniel to come home from the set of his latest film (a Rom-Com set in Paris), when there was a knock on the door. Still holding Clem, i went to the door and opened it. On the step was a disheveled boy with dark brown hair, very politely he said in french - 'sorry to bother you but i'm looking for my father'. I knew it was the truth - he is spitting image of Daniel. I stood gaping at him for a few moments, wondering what to do, then i decided that whatever was going on it required an explanation from Daniel. So i invited him in and gave him some lunch. Finally Daniel came home and when he saw the boy in the kitchen he gave me a curious look, but that soon changed to a look of utter shock when the boy stood up, held out his hand and said 'Hello Dad'. You could have knocked Daniel down with a feather. Just by the look on his face i could tell that Daniel had not been keeping secrets from me - that he had not known about this child. It transpired that Elijah was the son of an american girl called Angelica that Daniel met in Paris and went out with for about a year 15 years ago. They broke up and Daniel lost touch with her - unaware that she had fallen pregnant with his baby. Angelica stayed in Paris and had the baby but did not contact Daniel. She died of cancer 4 months ago and Elijah decided to try and find his father. From the beginning we new that Elijah had to stay with us. We couldnt turn him out. He's a lovely boy. We are having a paternity test for formal legal reasons, but as far as i'm concerned, he is already part of our family. In other news, we finally bought our own house in the parisian suburbs and have been living here now for just over two years.P.s Could someone please tell me how to upload pictures?
