One year later, the former Morales-Donning family has been going on well. Jorge has recently been placed in a football hall of fame, for his outstanding performance before his accident, and it was only then that he realised how he had come to be regarded as a sort of living legend. He attended the ceremony with Ernie, and Callie dropped by to congratulate him. Callie has finally come to complete forgiveness of her former husband, and is now good friends with Jorge and especially Ernie.
Gypsy and Dallas, now married for a year, have not yet had any children. They've decided to wait a bit more, until things stabilise for them. Axel and Annie, too, are going smoothly, unlike Zion and Yesenia, who have had a rough patch recently. Still, they've made things up again, further to the envy of Violet and Slate, who are waiting (not so) patiently for their sixteenth birthday so they can introduce their respective romantic partners (they feel certain Callie would kill them were they to be introduced even a day before).
I had a good lot of fun with this family! Time after time I've seen strange celebrity baby names - I remember Kal-El, Audio, Jermajesty, and Pilot most vividly - and those children were pretty much the inspiration for the Morales-Donning family (although if I do say so myself, we BtNers still name them better). I love seeing all the strange names youse have come up with - very entertaining indeed!
The Rupertson Family

DS/DS: Remus Edmund Winston Arthur Rupertson / Perseus Alcott Preston Henry Rupertson (21) [britto08 / glassmidnight]

DD: Ingrid Esme Victoria Constance Rupertson (18) [jessica_p]
-Dbf: David Gamaliel Appleby (18) [molly]
DD: Octavia Margaret Penelope Jane Rupertson (15) [RowenaRavenclaw]
One year later, the Rupertsons are doing just fine. Charles and Alice are finally comfortable with their son's husband, after the initial awkwardness passed. Now, Perseus and Achille have adopted their own daughter, Delphine. Meanwhile, Remus and Maisie's son was born, and was soon doted upon by their grandparents. Riordan has expressed interest in taking up the family's educational institutes after his father's retirement (and Vera doesn't mind, thank goodness). Ingrid and David are doing nicely, too. And Octavia? Well, she's rather glad she's finally allowed to start dating, but still hasn't found her first partner due to (surprise, surprise) extreme pickiness.
The Rupertsons are, actually, not much of the typical celebrity family. They don't really fit in with the rest of the pack, but I thought that having a multi-millionaire couple obsessed with posh-sounding grand names would be fun, so I threw them in the mix. And such incredible names I found too! The Rupertsons turn out to be the hardest family for me to choose names from. Still, I couldn't resist naming Remus' son Teddy. Which is even funnier, because...
The North family
DH: Christopher John "Topher" North (43)
DW: Lily Rachel North [nee Langenberd] (41)
DD: Cordelia Elaine "Delia" North (21) [molly]
-DFiance: Charlie Nathanael Leroy (24) [Ninor]
--Ddog: Matilda "Mattie"
DS: James Lorenzo North (18) [Roseth Helcië]
-Dgf: Joy Athena Wells-Holmes (18) [RowenaRavenclaw]
DD: Maisie Eleanora North (18) [Jessamine]
-DH: Remus Edmund Winston Arthur Rupertson (21)
--DS: Theodore Bartleby "Teddy" Rupertson (5 months)
Ddog: Matilda "Tilly" [Evie.]
The next year, the North family are knee-deep in preparation for another wedding. This time, it's Delia and Charlie who are going to be married. Funnily enough, even before they had any children, they've already had "joint custody" of a Golden Retriever puppy they named (guess what?) Matilda. Good old Tilly is a very old dog, and has passed away in the previous year. Charlie decided to buy Delia a new puppy to cheer her up, but to his surprise Delia insisted on naming the puppy after Tilly. They ended up calling the new puppy Mattie to differentiate both dogs, though.
James and Joy are taking their relationship very slowly. Both have decided they wouldn't follow what seems to be the North family tradition, and that they would like to wait longer until they get married. For now, they are content with buying baby clothes and toys for little Teddy, Remus and Maisie's cheerful little boy.
...apparently, not only Remus has a son named Teddy, he married into a family which contains a Lily and a James. It took me a while to realise that James' mother is named Lily, and, well, things just snowball from then on. The North family (I rather think of it as the Mary Sue family - the oh-so-perfect family - leaves me wondering where Peter is, because...
The Kerry-Sartre family

-Trixie's Dbf: Emmett Jack Nolan (19)
ex-DMistress: Audrey Kaitlyn O'Neill (40) [Evie.]
DMistress: Destiny Khloe Hamilton (39) [Ninor]
One year later, the Kerry family are growing even more. Sage and Akane have adopted two boys, Hiroshi and Tohru, and are making plans to move to Tokyo. Lee has gotten married with Yolanda, and they, too, have had a daughter named Flute (still in the family tradition!). Meanwhile, True have started to join the world of acting, cropping up her first acting role in the adaptation of the vampire romance book Evening. Orion has finally found a steady (steadier?) partner, and Trixie has finally found her first partner (just don't tell anyone Emmett is her first!).
...I had a great temptation naming the twins Bellatrix and Sirius. Though my wits finally returned and I decided on Bellatrix or Sirius and not both, Orion is still Sirius in my mind. Still, the Kerry family is the most interesting, name-wise, since they seem to be more on par with the celebrity word names. Still, lots of interesting choices cropped up here, too.
Thanks for playing, everyone!
