Helpestel's Story Congrats Round 3
Link to Sign Up Round: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4809816
Round 1: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4810278
Round 2: http://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/4811089
Write a sentence, a paragraph, or more about your family! I will give you prompts for each round and you can decide how much detail to provide.
Round 3:
Your couple has welcomed a second baby to the family! Their eldest child is now three (which means that 1 1/2 years have passed since the last round). The new baby is the same gender as their first child, and his/her name is related (any way you choose) to the first child's name. How are your couple adjusting to life with two little ones? Have their careers or hobbies changed at all? How is the 3 year old adjusting to the new baby?
Side Note: I updated all the ages for you this round--it just sort of happened. I'll leave you all to do it next round.

Fabian and Eleanor weren't planning to have another child so soon, but are delighted to welcome their second son Will. Little John is thrilled to have a little brother, but gets frustrated that the baby can't play with him. Puck is very curious about this strange new human, and loves to mess with Will. Eleanor takes part-time work at her parents' garage, as working full-time would mean leaving both her small kids at home too often for her liking. Fabian's shop downstairs has hit an all time high in sales, and none of the Fairchilds could be happier.

Jim and Margot had a new member of the family, Beaumont Jacob Thurstan. With Chad and Beau in their lives, the happy couple are adjusting very well as parents. Despite their ever busy lives, the couple are still able to handle their careers. One of Jim's novels became so successful that it's been optioned for a Hollywood film. At first, Chad was definitely threatened by the presence of his new brother. However, Chad has shown to get along with Beau.

Now that the twins are a little older, Nic and Lucas have decided to try for another baby. Lucas asked his second grade class for name suggestions, which were... interesting, to say the least. In the end, they went with Grey Xavier, rare first name, middle name same as dad's. Nic quit her job, as being a technician is hard when you have three children to tend to. Colette and Julius are all over their new brother! (though Colette did wonder whether her parents would still love her as much as Grey) As for Joy, she doesn't know what to think of this strange tiny human.

Twins were not an option for the first round, so I went with the first child. I know that in most games now, you get more free choice about your family; however, this particular game isn't one of them.
There are two options here: play by the rules like everyone else, or don't play the game. I'll leave the choice up to you.

Ddog [2]: Bo
"See that doctor of yours has absolutely no idea what she's talking about." Was all Bennett said before he pulled Kaia into a hug after she showed him a positive pregnancy test nine months ago. As with Liam they did not plan on a baby, but were excited to welcome another little one into their family. The big brother to be was another story. While he was looking forward to become a big brother while Kaia was pregnant and affectionally stroke his mamma's belly and talked to his baby brother, once Alexander Henry Walker was born on a sunny Sunday afternoon his excitement had subdued for a moment. Especially once Kaia and Xander came home from hospital and it was clear that the intruder was staying. Luckily this phase was short lived and Liam loves his baby brother dearly and can't wait until he is big enough to play with him. The family dog Bo took up to Xander quickly as well and watches over him.
Xander's name does not honor anyone in Bennett or Kaia's family as Liam's does, instead they went for classical timeless names with a more modern nickname. Shortly before Xander was born Kaia decided to leave her job and became a stay at home mother. Bennett was promoted half a year ago so the little family could afford this change without worrying about money.

Stefan and Anya have a new baby! Her name is Eve or Evie and... so far so good!
It's hard with a toddler and a newborn baby but Octavia is a mature 3 year old, plus she's in nursery four half days a week meaning that Stef and Anya have lots of time to spend with the new baby and Octavia is already mostly independent - toileting and entertaining herself. Her likes the new baby and loves telling people about "her Evie", at the moment her favourite things to do with the baby are to read her stories and "teach" her how to play with some of her toys.
To be sure not to push Octavia out, Stef and Anya make one-on-one time for her, this usually takes place on walks with Roy while Eve is with the other parent or her grandparents. This is great for Roy and for Octavia who is secure with her place in her parents' affections. Anya is 100% devoted to her children but still finds time to read and write, she's working on a young adult dystopian adventure at the moment that she has high hopes for. Meanwhile Stefan continues to work hard at work and on some evenings and the weekends he likes to jog with Roy and go swimming (not with Roy!)
Roy likes the new baby well enough though he isn't fond of the night tantrums or foul smell that emits from her sometimes. Octavia is still his favourite and it's good that they have each other when Stef and Anya are busy with Eve.

Welcome Sam! Her name is taken from a Dutch name with a floral connection, as is Di’s, with a very Welsh middle name. Pascal and Bronwen couldn’t be happier to have little Sam in their lives. Di, however, is not so pleased. She’s very tempermental, for a three-year-old, and wants to keep her mommy and daddy’s attention on her, not on some baby. Sam, however, loves her big sister - and the dog. Pascal now has a job teaching middle school, while Bronwen has left her job, what with two babies and an energetic dog at home.

When Adeline is three years old, Nova has another baby girl! Nova names the girl Noble Mia. Previous, the family had been taking swim lessons, but they have put them on hold to once again care for a new baby. After Nova's maternity break ends, she begins sending Noble to day care with Adeline. Adeline likes the company of Noble, but isn't very patient while waiting for her to be old enough to play with. Overall, she's also a little stressed, because she's not used to having another kid in the house. Adeline may not be getting all the attention anymore, but at least she still has Puff, whom the family has hired a dogsitter for. Meanwhile, they are seeking out a house for their growing family , and Stetson considers going to work ar a different hospital

Alice has given birth to another baby girl! Her first name is Rose as it is a flower like Lily, and her middle name is April as Mae relates to May. The couple are finding it hard with two little ones but with lots of help from Alice's parents, they are coping. They have the same jobs and they still love to go for walks, as a way to get away from the kids for a bit and relax. Lily seems to have developed an interest in art. She loves mixing colours and painting pictures. She also loves Rose to bits and is willing to help in any way.

DDog [2]: Blake
Felix and Jess have just welcomed their second baby girl! Annabelle is thrilled to a a big sister to little Violet Stella. They picked Violet for her first name because, not only is it Jess’s favorite flower, but they found that the name has similar ratings to Annabelle’s. Blake is curious as ever, watching his parents’ every move as they take care of Violet, but he’s a good boy and keeps his distance. Annabelle is just as curious as her dog, if not more; she always wants to help with baths and diaper changes, and she loves to snuggle with her baby sister.
Life has changed now that they have two little girls and a dog. Felix still teaches geometry at the high school and Jess still has her café to run, but they’ve become stricter with routines. Jess now gets up at 7 am sharp every morning, when she used to wake up whenever she felt like it. Felix now makes time to play with the girls and Blake in between grading papers and making lesson plans. Nonetheless, the happy couple still enjoys family life.

Dominic and Taylor had been trying for another baby for a while without any success. They decided to take a break during the summer, and that apparently helped because Taylor found herself pregnant the month after. They welcomed another baby boy. They couldn't quite agree on a name and ended up deciding on William. They thought it would be a perfect match since they both love "Billy Elliot" and well, they already had an Elliot!

Jon and Katie welcomed their second little boy to the family this year! His name is Isaiah Levi Lennox, and Eli absolutely adores his little brother. Katie has to watch the two of them closely because Eli often tries to "play" with Isaiah; however, he doesn't understand that Isaiah can't play with a ball or his legos, or run around the house with him. Max was intrigued by the new addition and spent the first several days sniffing him. He seems to have accepted Isaiah as part of the family, though.
