Lady Karissa Elizabeth and Lord Andrew Charles were expecting their third child in June of 2280, and when Lord David William Beck told Lady Karissa that the ultrasound indicated it was a healthy son.
Lady Karissa takes the ultrasound picture back to Beltane Manor and she knocks on the door of Lord Andrew Charles' office and he calls out "Come in I am not busy."
"Lady Karissa walks into the office and Lord Andrew Charles looks up from his desk and asks "What is on your mind Lady Karissa?"
"I have something to give you, Lord Andrew Charles." Lady Karissa tells him and she hands him the ultrasound picture and he asks " What is our third child?"
"What are you blind, Lord Andrew Charles or do you need a pair of glasses?" Lady Karissa asks.
Lord Andrew Charles looks at the picture and Lady Karissa tells him "It's a son."
"Finally I am going to have a son." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"Be careful Lord Andrew Charles. You don't want to resurrect your late great-grandmother, Lady Jeanette Virginia Beaufort." Lady Karissa tells him " Raise her from her grave and she will put you in your place like she did to your great-grandfather, Lord Frederick William Howard."
"I don't think you want to come face to face with your great-grandmother." Lady Karissa explains.
"No. I don't." Lord Andrew Charles explains, "When is he due?"
"June of 2280 and I will name him Lord Anthony Christopher Howard and you can confer the title of Duke of Lancaster Territory to Lord Anthony Christopher as Lady Elizbeth will become Duchess of Norfolk Territory one day." Lady Karissa explains.
"No five year old little girl needs to have some responsibility of being the heiress to two Dukedoms." Lady Karissa explains.
"I am sure Lady Elizabeth won't even notice it." Lady Karissa explains.
"Lady Elizabeth is my heiress presumptive to the Marquess of Pembroke until which time our eldest son has a daughter." Lady Karissa explains.
"Fair enough. I agree that Lady Elizabeth's first priority is to The Dukedom and Territory of Norfolk." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
"My father will be delighted to hear that his male line grandson is on his way." Lord Andrew Charles tells her.
