Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, Duke of York Territory of Star Base 12 got the biggest surprise of his life on March of 2276 when his second wife, and Duchess, Lady Sarah walks into the living room at York Estate and Manor and she looks at Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, and she tells him " I have news for you, my dear Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR. We are going to have a baby."
Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, Duke of York and former Duke of Norfolk Territory is now 67 years old, but he marries his third cousin twice removed, , Lady Sarah Spencer-Churchill, and she is 25 years old, and he looks at her " What? I am going to be a father at 67 years old?"
"Lord David William Beck, your grandnephew told me and he is what to me?" Lady Sarah asks.
"He is your third cousin once removed, as his mother is your third cousin twice removed, and I am your cousin three times removed, and my brother is your third cousin three times removed." Lord Charles Andrew JR tells her.
"When is our child due?" Lord Charles Andrew JR asks.
"Our child is due in October of 2276 along with Lady Paulina who is due in June of 2276, Lady Millicent who is due in August of 2276, Lady Susan who is due in September of 2276 and Lady Karissa is due in October of 2276 too." Lady Sarah tells her husband.
"I wonder if my sons will give me my first male line grandson this time. I don't mean by anything as I love my golden hair heiress very much and I wouldn't trade her for anything." Lord Charles Andrew JR states.
"You better not let Lady Karissa hear that." Lady Sarah warns " She made the supreme sacrifice of marrying your youngest son."
"I am wondering what we will name this child if it is a son or if it is a daughter?" Lady Sarah asks
Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR looks at his Duchess " Let 's make a compromise. You name our child if it is a son and I will name our child if it's a daughter as I promised my old miserable father I would name a child after my old miserable grandfather." Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR states " This way I will have kept my promise to the old bag of bones."
"My father was Lord John Albert Spencer-Churchill, so we will name him Lord John Albert Howard, and I am sure my father, who is also your cousin, will be happy." Lady Sarah tells him.
Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, Duke of York Territory delivers the news to his sons, nephew, grandnephew, and daughters on Star Base 10 that Lady Sarah and he are expecting their only child together and they are delighted.
Naturally, Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third is the prodigal son and when he hears the news of his father having a child at his age he tells his father " I will not accept this child as my sibling."
Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR tells his oldest son by his first Duchess "Listen Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third. My damn miserable father tried to run my life and I married who he wished in 2228 and you are the result of my unhappy marriage to your mother, but we muddled through with it. I gave you the name of your grandfather who gave me his name as well."
"I am happy at last and I can't make you love or accept your new sister or brother. I can promise you this. I will write you out of my Last Will and Testament if you don't accept your new brother or sister." Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR threatens.
"You are just having your first child in August and I am ahead of you in this game and furthermore, so is your youngest brother by the way. Why do you think he is Duke of Norfolk Territory rather than you? Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR asks his oldest son.
"My damn youngest brother has always been ambitious and my damn younger sister, Lady Charlotte Augusta told him one day he would be Duke of Norfolk Territory." Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third tells his father.
"Lady Charlotte Augusta is Duchess of Buckingham Territory on Star Base 10 and she is the mother of the future Duke of Buckingham Territory which is more I can say for you, Lord Charles Andrew The Third." Lord Charles Andrew JR tells his oldest son.
Lady Sarah walks into the drawing room and Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third looks at his third cousin once removed and he tells her " Listen here. I don't have anything against you personally as you are my cousin through my dear grandmother, Lady Alexandra Elizabeth, but I won't accept this child as my sibling."
"Lord Charles Andrew The Third. I can't make you love or accept our child as your sibling. I am sorry you are disappointing your father but when Lord Andrew Charles and Lord Patrick William hear about it. You will pay the price dearly." Lady Sarah explains.
When Lord Patrick William The Second and Lord Andrew Charles hear what Lord Charles Andrew The Third does it causes an argument between the three brothers, and Lord Andrew Charles tells his oldest brother "Listen here. Bro. I love you and you know I do, but this child, another brother or sister is a part of our family. You don't want to dishonor our great-great-grandfathers, Lord Patrick William Howard or Lord John Spencer-Churchill." Lord Andrew Charles explains.
"I will be happy that I am no longer the baby of our family. " Lord Andrew Charles explains.
"Listen here furthermore, this child will be an aunt or uncle to your child." Lord Andrew Charles states " You can't change it as we share the same father."
Lord Patrick William The Second tells his oldest brother " Be sensible, Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third. You carry our father's name. "
Lord Charles Andrew Howard The Third looks at his two younger brothers and tells them " I have heard you of both. I will take it under advisement."
"Lord Charles Andrew The Third. I will make a deal with you. When your child is born I will create you Duke of Suffolk Territory." Lord Andrew Charles tells his oldest brother.
"I have already promised the Dukedom of Cambridge Territory to Lord Patrick William Howard The Second, but Sussex is prosperous and the people are warm and friendly.' Lord Andrew Charles states.
"I have promised The Dukedom of Wessex Territory to our first cousin, Lord Richard Edward Howard The Second." Lord Andrew Charles states.
