The day Emily Van der Lindt's daughter was born was the day her family was complete. Emily, n?e Vernon, had the image of a perfect family in her head, and it included a son and a daughter. The fact that they would get along famously was just icing on the cake. She had been prepared for at least some jealousy when her second child was first born. After all, it would be such a big change and it was only natural when first born children felt a little left out when all the attention seemed to go to the new baby. But that was never the case. Throughout the years, her children rarely ever fought, or bickered, or even disagreed. A small part of her thought it was too good to be true and simply couldn't last. Rather than dwell on it and spoil what might possibly be the most perfect pair of siblings, she decided to simply enjoy it for as long as she could. Emily only had experience with her own siblings and the memories were rarely pleasant. The youngest of four daughters, she witnessed a lot of arguments and, at times, all out wars between her sisters. For the most part, she tried to avoid getting involved. Occasionally she would be the peacemaker/tie breaker when they cornered her and made her choose a side, but if she could find a way to escape, she wasted no time doing just that. So it was no surprise when she met her future husband, the relationship moved quickly. Had he been anyone else but a Van der Lindt, her parents might have had reservations when the three month courtship turned into a six month engagement. Not that it would have carried weight with Emily. She was head over heels and determined to break away from her old life to start a new one. Her sisters were torn between being happy for her and griping about the absolute scandal of their baby sister having the audacity to get married before any of them. Luckily, appearances were important to them and it simply wouldn't do to make a fuss and get themselves kicked off the wedding court, or worse, elope and rob them of the chance to meet eligible bachelors! None of them would put it past Emily to do just that. The wedding was divine and the honeymoon a blur of passion and bliss. No one was surprised when her first child was born nine months to the day after their wedding.
