Lord Andrew Charles Howard walks up to both Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley and his second cousin,Lord Richard William Carey and he tells them " I guess I am the winner and you two are the losers as I am going to marry Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell like I told you."
Lt Kevin Thomas Riley breaks out in laughter, " You better hope that child she is carrying is a daughter, Lord Andrew Charles because if it isn't a daughter. You are history." Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley tells Lord Andrew Charles.
"How do you know the child is a daughter?" Lord Richard William asks his second cousin.
"I don't know as Karissa told me she is going to see our second cousin, Lord David William Beck and he is going to perform some type of medical test that will give her the results." Lord Andrew Charles explains.
"Lord Andrew Charles Howard. If the child is a son. Karissa will not marry you." Lord Richard William explains " The child is illegitimate and the child can't inherit the Dukedom and Territory of Norfolk."
"I have to wait for the results and if it is a daughter that Karissa is carrying. We will marry in March of 2275." Lord Andrew Charles states.
"Lord Andrew Charles Howard. You don't know Karissa very well. She will never give into the aristocracy." Kevin tells him.
"Karissa is not one of you and she will never be." Kevin tells Lord Andrew Charles "You can heap all the crummy senseless titles on her, but she will never give in."
"I will make her a Duchess by marriage and my father is creating her the 2nd Marchioness of Pembroke Territory with the news of his first male line grandchild." Lord Andrew Charles states.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR was 65 years old in 2274 and he waited at Norfolk Estate to hear the news of his first male line grandchild he had waited for 33 years.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard waits to hear from his grand-nephew, Lord David William Beck who has performed the test to determine the sex of his first born male grandchild and he paces around Norfolk Estate with his wife, Lady Patricia Eugenie and he waits for the news from his grandnephew.
Lord David William Beck gives the news first to Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell " The child is a girl, Karissa." Lord David William Beck tells her.
"You have made my grand-uncle very happy with this news, you know." Lord David William tells Karissa.
"I didn't do it for Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR. " Karissa explains, " I did it for the memory of his late great-grandfather, Lord Patrick William Howard."
"I can only imagine what Lord Patrick William Howard went through. He had to leave everything behind and traveled all those four and half years to reach Star Base 12 along with Lord John Devereux Lord John Carey, Lord Edmund Beaufort, Sir Reginald Grey, and the rest of them." Karissa tells Lord David William Beck."
Lord Andrew Charles Howard waits to hear the news about his first child with Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell and when she arrives back to Norfolk Estate in the Carey Carriage, Lord Andrew Charles, Lord Richard William Carey and Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley is waiting along with Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR and he looks at her " What is my first grandchild to be?"
"I will tell you, Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR?" Karissa tells him.
"Your son and I are going to give you your first male line granddaughter, Lady Elizabeth named for her ancestor, Queen Elizabeth I of England, Her ancestor, Queen Victoria of England and her ancestor, Queen Ann of England and after Odin's most Highest Sabbat, Beltane." Karissa tells Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR starts to cry tears of happiness and he asks her " When are you going to marry son?"
"I will marry your son on March 21, 2275." Karissa tells him.
"I am going to create you The Second Marchioness of Pembroke Territory, Karissa. The last one to hold the title was my great-grandaunt, Lady Elizabeth Ann Howard, the only daughter of my great-grandfather, Lord Patrick William Howard." Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR tells him.
Lord Richard William Carey and Lt Kevin Thomas Riley look at Karissa " I didn't do it for Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, his father, or even his father, but for Lord Patrick William Howard." Karissa tells them.
"Lord Patrick William Howard built this Dukedom and Territory with his hard work, blood, sweat, and tears, and it deserves to continue as Lord John Carey's territory and in time I will make sure Lord John Carey's territory and Dukedom has an heir or heiress." Karissa tells Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR " Do you think I am going to let what your first cousin great-grandfather extinct." Karissa asks.
Lord Richard William Carey smiles and he tells her " I can wait, Karissa or is it Lady Karissa now."
"No, it is the same before Karissa." Karissa answers, "I guess with marrying Lord Andrew Charles. I will become Lady Karissa."
Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR smiles and he walks over to his youngest son, Lord Andrew Charles and embraces him " I knew you wouldn't let me down."
"Listen here father. I didn't do it for my grandfather, great-grandfather, or you. I did it because I love my great-great-grandfather, Lord Patrick William Howard and I do it for his memory." Lord Andrew Charles states.
"I really don't care about this Dukedom or Territory." Lord Andrew Charles states, 'I told you if you let me marry for love that I would give you your first male line grandchild and I am keeping my part of the agreement.' Lord Andrew Charles states.
"Lady Karissa insists that we unite the family that my damn great-grandfather and grandfather have divided." Lord Andrew Charles tells his father.
"I plan to reunite the family that my great-grandfather and grandfather divided over the years." Lord Andrew Charles tells his father.
"This means Lord Frederick William's II family, Lady Sophia Charlotte family, Lord Andrew Charles's family, along with Lord Richard Edward Howard SR and Lord Edwin William Howard's family." Lord Andrew Charles states. " I will also include the families of Lady Sophia Charlotte Bourbon nee Howard's family and Lady Patricia Charlene and Lady Charlotte Augusta's family." Lord Andrew Charles tells his father.
From Star Base 10, Lady Patricia and Lady Charlotte Augusta here and they celebrate with their children that they are back in the line of succession, as does Lady Sophia Charlotte Bourbon nee Howard from Lennox Territory.
