Braybrooke House

The Braybrooke House sits on several acres of land in Cambridgeshire England. The Braybrooke family had the home built in the late 1700s as a “summer cottage”. Matthew and Leah Braybrooke moved into the home in 2051.

                                              Noah didn’t really know why he was nervous. All the paperwork had been done on his end. He’d saved the money, but this suddenly seemed like a bigger deal to him than he’d ever thought. Despite the nerves, he had no doubts. Really he’d wanted this for a while, but he’d wanted to wait until he was old enough to do it himself.

                                              He stepped into the dining room and sure enough, Matthew was cleaning up the last few things from breakfast. Noah took a deep breath. He wondered if this was a similar feeling to proposing to someone.

                                              “Hey Dad, got a second?”

                                              Matthew just smiled. “Absolutely,” he said, putting down his work and focusing on Noah.

                                              Unfortunately, Noah hadn’t actually planned what would happen when he got to this point. He thought about having some sort of preamble, explaining his plan, but instead, he just said, “I’m legally changing my surname to Braybrooke.”

                                              Matthew looked taken aback for a moment. “Um…what?” He managed after a moment, a quizzical look on his face.

                                              “I mean, if that’s okay with you! It’s just…you and Mum have been married for twelve years. You raised me and you never made me feel like anything but your son. I mean, I haven’t even seen Levi in nine months. I always tried not to blame him for the divorce, mum and he were equal parts in it, but lately, I’ve realized, I can blame him for not making an effort with his kids. You’re my dad. You have been since I was five and I think it’s right that the world knows it.”

                                              Matthew was the kind to keep emotions close to his chest, but his face was a bit pink and Noah could see tears in the corner of his eyes. Looking at it made Noah’s face go red as well. “I…I would like that very much,” Matthew said, his voice breaking.

                                              Noah couldn’t help it. He went to Matthew and threw his arms around him in a hug. The two held each other for a moment. When they broke away, Noah cleared his throat and held out the piece of paper he’d been holding onto the whole time. “Oh, and I uh…need you to sign this as a witness if you could. Just so it’s legal and all that.”

                                              "Absolutely."

xxWʜᴇʀᴇ Aᴍ I? The Braybrooke House
xxxWʜᴏ Is Wɪᴛʜ Mᴇ? Noah
xxxxWʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ? Exciting news!!
xxxxxWʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ? I can't believe I got in!!



                                                                At home, Everly had been hard at work in the craft room, very carefully calibrating some LED lights in a saber hilt. It was an intense project, but she had several dozen requests out for places to sell. She'd been making tons of things across the fantasy and sci-fi genre, including some rather complicated robotics. It was all very fascinating. It helped that her parents were able to help when she needed it. Her siblings also helped out, though Kai had been relegated to support. Last time he'd tried to help, they ended up standing in a pile of micro-screws.

                                                                Just as she was about to get the bulb in place, her phone started ringing, causing her to drop the tiny bulb. With a frustrated groan, Evie answered the call. As the man spoke, her expression changed from upset to excitement. "Yes! Yes, please. I will happily take the spot! Thank you so much! Yes, see you then!" When the call disconnected, the girl did a little happy dance and an excited squeal. She wished she wasn't home alone so she could share this news! Wait.... today was Noah's day off!!

                                                                Everly practically sprinted to her room, changing into a nicer outfit than her messy work clothes. She tied her hair up in her customary buns, opting to wear some cute Star Wars themed jewelry for the occasion. With a twist, she apparated to the Braybrooke house, feeling a bit alarmed that she hadn't thought to call ahead. "Oh! Hello. Um. Sorry to bother. I was looking for Noah, please. It is really quite lovely to see you all." She looked awkwardly at the family, who told her where to locate her fiancé. With a nod, Everly hurried off again.

                                                                After a moment, she located him, practically tackling him with a hug. "Noah! I got in! I mean, we! We got in. I-if you'd want to help me, anyway. Oh!!" she paused, realizing she'd given him exactly no context. Taking a breath, Everly slowed to a more.... normal pace. "I got a call from the host of Festival of the Force, y'know, the largest Star Wars convention in the whole of Europe. They want me to set up a booth to sell sabers and other stuff! Apparently they've got me scouted as one of the best saber-crafters in-freaking-Europe!! That's such an insane honor!!" She held his shoulders, an electric bright sparkle in her eyes. "I would really like it if you would go with me. I know I'll really need the help, because the con is huge. It's massive! And I can't keep up with several hundred-thousand people alone. I can barely handle talking to three or four people at once, much less thousands." She could really, really use help. Noah was her first choice, since she was sure Ruth would get overwhelmed. Maybe she could ask Charlotte and Kai as well?

                                                Noah was sat on his bed reading, unsurprisingly, a Star Wars novel. He hadn’t had much of a chance to read lately. Noah was still sort of the low man on the totem pole in his department, which meant he was working a lot. He honestly didn’t mind, but he was glad for the breaks he did get. He’d even arranged to have September 1st off so he could join his sisters at the platform this year. He had been surprised at how much he’d missed wishing them off last year, so he’d prepared plenty in advance.

                                                Today, however, he had no plans. He figured he would see Evie later today, as he always met up with his fiancé (he loved that word) when he had more than a spare second. But as of right now, he was just having a lazy morning. However, it was then that he heard the familiar pop of someone apparating. That caused him to raise an eyebrow. He didn’t think anyone had anywhere to be today, but Mum and Dad had just come back from their anniversary cruise, so maybe they had errands they needed to catch up on after being out of the country for two weeks.

                                                He was about to go downstairs and check it out when a figure appeared in his doorway. He immediately broke into a smile when he realized it was Everly. And then she tackled him. He then tried his best to understand her excited squealing. Something about getting in? She hadn’t like…applied to a uni without his knowledge, had she? Then she took a moment to sort herself and get at what she was actually talking about.

                                                “Evie! That’s incredible! And you so deserve it!” Noah had been to many a nerd convention in his day, and most lightsaber builders there were whole companies manufacturing them. Being a vendor that more or less built them alone and by hand was even more incredible to be chosen. He couldn’t help but kiss her.“Of course I’ll come. I couldn’t let my best girl do this alone.” He also likely would have been going to the convention anyway, so this couldn’t have been better. “And don’t worry, everyone you’re going to be talking to a Star Wars fan, so it’ll be way easier than you think. We can recruit plenty of help, don’t you worry. We’ll do a whole setup, it’ll be incredible,” he reassured her, putting one hand on her shoulder and the other around her waist.
