[Games] Immigrant Congrats Round 3
Sorry for the long delay, the holiday here in the States had me really busy! Rounds should be coming more regularly from now on.
Only six months after the birth of the second child, DW suffered a miscarriage. It was so early she hadn't even realized yet that she was pregnant, but it was still physically and emotionally hard on her. The doctor recommended a period of relaxation and rest to recover. Luckily there was a relative there to help her while she recovered, and she was soon feeling as good as ever. Not too many months before the second child's third birthday, DW found out she was expecting again. She kept it to herself for a few months, afraid that something would go wrong like last time, but everything went perfectly and a healthy baby was born. After five plus years in their new country, the proud parents decided that at least one name should be from that new country (the other is still from their native homeland; FN or MN, your choice).
Rules:
1. Three rounds, no notice, dropped. Pretty basic.
2. Ages are required. I will keep up with them.
3. Please try and keep names and story at least fairly accurate to time period you choose to set your story in.
4. Stories are greatly encouraged.
5. Have fun!

New Country: AmericaVioletta's miscarriage was a huge shock to her. She got very worried they would be unable to have any more children, and that there was something wrong with her. Fortunately, Violetta's first cousin (whom she grew up with), Alessio, was visiting, and she felt more at home. When she realized she was pregnant again, she didn't tell anyone, even Giovanni, for a few monthes. She was estatic to give birth to another little princess. (Giovanni on the other hand... I'm kidding, he was happy.) They named her Zita Margaret, and are loving their life in America.

Not long after Rosie's first birthday, Sean's Uncle Hugh promoted him. Sean had shown a great deal of business savvy, and with Bridget in the shop itself the business had grown admirably. Customers were charmed by the beautiful and friendly young mother, and her keen eye for color and style had the women flocking to her for advice. The young couple each received a raise in their pay, and with it they were able to move away from the shop and into a bigger apartment with plenty of room for the young family. It was just in time, as within weeks they got word that Bridget's older sister Fiona and her husband Robbie were coming to America, Robbie having been offered a job by an old friend of his father's. Bridget was overjoyed to finally have one of her siblings with her, and was doubly excited when they arrived and it was revealed that Fiona was pregnant! The couple stayed with Bridget and Sean for only a few weeks before moving to a small town outside the city where Robbie's uncle had a dairy. It is only a short train ride away, and the coupels take turns visiting on the weekends.

New Country: United StatesLiza and Evgeni feel like they have established themselves here in this new country. A few months after Galina was born, Liza suffered a miscarriage. She wasn't positive that she was pregnant, but the thought had crossed her mind. It was difficult for her, both mentally and physically, to lose a baby. Evgeni tried to be supportive, but found that Liza relied more on her cousin, Natalya than anyone. Natalya and her husband, Petr, moved to the United States about a year and a half ago, and had witnessed Galina's birth. Evgeni consulted a Russian doctor, who advised that Liza rest. After awhile, things started to look up, and Evgeni and Liza started feeling that their lives were "normal" again. Two years later, Liza discovered that she was expecting again. She kept the news to herself for about a month, afraid that she would have another miscarriage. Evgeni and Liza's third daughter, Angelina Rose, entered the world on a chilly October morning.

New Country: Constantinople, Byzantine Empire1117- After the miscarriage of a baby, the family considered the birth of Rosalia a gift, hence her middle name Metrodora. The family business suffered a bit of a set back when Baldwin I of Jerusalem razed Pelusium to the ground, and they lost a few warehouses in that Egyptian city, costing them thousands of ducats in spices that were being shipped from the East. This set back led to downsizing. Antonio was forced to sell his vineyard and villa in Corfu and resettle in the Venetian quarter of Byzantium.
