Sign-ups still welcome! Those of you who didn't put ages must add them. If the book didn't give specifics just best-guess them. Usually I will be keeping up with ages, but this round I will let you choose if you want to age your couple. If you don't, I'll just assume that the couple could reasonably have had a child within a few months.
The Names
I'll put name rules as part of the prompt. You may have as many names as you want, as long as they fit the setting of the story. For those of you with fantasy settings with made-up names, you are allowed to make up the names for the children if you want, but if you do you must put how they follow the rules in your write-up. If it would fit with your story, though, I encourage you to use real names. Middle names, at least one, are required unless it is specifically stated in the book that people only have one name (if that is the case, you must notify me).
The Prompt
DH and DW have had only months since the events of the end of their book before DW made the discovery that she was pregnant! They are both ecstatically happy, as they both want a big family. They begin dicussing names within a few months. DH has a tradition in his family of naming children to honor a beloved person (friend, relative, etc.), but DW thinks it is important for the child to have a name that is unique to themselves. They will deal with this individually as their children come, but for this child they have decided that the FN will be unique and the MN will honor someone they both love.
In the midst of all the happiness about the upcoming baby, there is news, and it isn't good. Tell if the news is bad, sad, or just irritating, and give us the story behind it.
The Rules
1. If you miss more than three rounds period you will be dropped. You do not have to make up missed rounds, but you do not get the children for the missed round.
2. Make sure you keep your fairytale or folktale listed before your family so I can keep up with who is doing what story.
3. Please bold new additions. This can be done by using < b > name here < /b > without the spaces.
4. Ages are required.
5. IMPORTANT to note that the point of this congrats is to continue the story, and you are required to write at least a short paragraph about your family each round. If you don't like writing the blurbs, then this may not be the game for you.
