Lady Katherine tells him " Lady Pauline Howard is due first, followed by Lady Karissa, Lady Victoria and finally me."
"Lord Charles III told me that he is only giving Lady Victoria the benefit of a doubt until his child is due." Lord David explains.
"Considering her reputation Lord David. I would do the same." Lady Katherine tells her husband.
"It is a miracle that after 25 years of marriage that Lady Pauline even conceived a child and how old is she?" Lady Katherine asks.
'I think she was born in 2242, two years after Lord Patrick William and he was born in 2240." Lord David explains.
"I was born in the same year that Lady Charlotte Augusta was born but in December. She was born in June of 2245." Lord David explains.
"I wasn't married off against my will." Lord David explains, "but what I hear is that Lady Charlotte Augusta is happy with Lord David Frederick Stafford."
"I think Lady Charlotte Augusta twins are 12 years old now and her son is 17 years old." Lord David tells her.
"Lord Charles Andrew JR swears it was a good match and Lord David Frederick is very much in love with Lady Charlotte Augusta.' Lord David tells Lady Katherine.
"I remember when Lord Patrick and Lady Pauline adopted Lady Alexandra Katherine in 2276 and they were happy to have her, but I guess they both wanted their own natural child." Lord David explains, "Their timing was right."
"Lady Pauline won't conceive again as she is 40 years old." Lord David tells his wife.
"Lord Patrick William refused when I offered to run amniocentesis test on Lady Pauline." Lord David tells her.
"I guess he wants their child to be a surprise." Lady Katherine tells him.
