Lady Theresa Hardwick started her labor in the early hours of December 31, 2285 and Lord David William Beck was sent there to attend her labor and delivery of Lord Andrew Charles Howard and her child.
Lady Karissa rode with Lord Andrew Charles to take the child was once he/she was born to Lady Theresa.
Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Karissa in the carriage, " I hope it is another son." Lord Andrew Charles states.
"What if it isn't Lord Andrew Charles. The Howard's are spitting out more daughters than son. Lord Charles Andrew has a son and so do you?" Lady Karissa tells him as they are headed for Balmoral Manor.
"I already have enough daughters Lady Karissa." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"It is not the woman's fault King Henry VIII of England." Lady Karissa tells him.
"You have three daughters and a son." Lady Karissa explains, "Your brother Lord Charles Andrew III has a daughter and a son."
"Lord Patrick William has a two daughters." Lady Karissa reminds him.
"Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR has a great number of granddaughters, Lady Elizabeth, Lady Alexandra Katherine, Lady Charlotte Victoria Maud, Lady Samhain, Lady Autumn Bridget, Lady Sophia Charlotte Dorothea and now this child and I am not finished." Lady Karissa replies.
"I am telling you Lord Andrew Charles Star Base 12 will be governed by our daughters and nothing will stand in their way." Lady Karissa proclaims.
"I told you when I had Lady Elizabeth nothing was going to take her place not even our son, Lord Andrew Charles JR. She will succeed you or I will topple you myself." Lady Karissa proclaims.
"Lady Elizabeth is your heiress to Norfolk Territory and I will murder our son if you try to replace her with our son." Lady Karissa tells him.
Lord Andrew Charles looks at Lady Karissa and tells her, " Lady Elizabeth is the rightful heiress to the Dukedom of Norfolk Territory as she is the first born great-grandchild of Lord Charles Andrew Howard SR."
"Isn't it bad enough that you impregnated Lady Theresa and how many illegitimate children has your grandfather and great-grandfather had Lord Andrew?" Lady Karissa asks.
"I don't know father never knew of any." Lord Andrew Charles states.
"No they hide them away in the country and one day they will reappear." Lady Karissa tells him.
"More damn ghosts in the Howard closet." Lady Karissa tells him.
"The Howard's are riddled with ghosts in their closets." Lady Karissa replies.
"The Howard's need a good exorcism to get rid of the ghosts in the past." Lady Karissa tells Lord Andrew Charles.
"Look at your ancestors Lord Andrew Charles Howard.' Lady Karissa tells him, "One Uncle turned against his own nieces and both were executed."
"I am sure that Queen Anne Boleyn was innocent but Katheryn Howard wasn't." Lady Karissa explains, "The only sin Queen Anne Boleyn ever did wasn't give King Henry VIII a son, and that was his fault."
"Other Howard's turned against their sovereign and were beheaded." Lady Karissa states, "Some were honored for their service."
"How does one honor such ancestors?" Lady Karissa asks.
The coach heads for Balmoral Manor and finally it pulls out at Balmoral Manor and Lord David William Beck meets them outside and tells Lord Andrew Charles. " Lady Theresa is doing well and since this is her first birth and it will be sometime."
