Johanna Hope and Linnet.
Johanna Hope and her husband Anthony are living in Chicago in 1916 posing as young lovers, Carlisle pretending to be Anthony's uncle. Johanna became even more beautiful in immortality and Anthony more handsome.
For Anthony Hope, Carlisle's feeding habits weren't as appealing to him where as Johanna was perfectly fine. None were fortunate enough to have a proper supernatural gift, although both have amazing singing voices.
Both the lovers loved being immortal and enjoyed all the skills, but Johanna always wanted a child to care for; after her horrible childhood.
One day Johanna was walking along the park when she heard Anthony running after her and calling her name.
"Johanna! You're going to become a mother!"
"Anthony, what are you talking about?'' questioned Johanna
'' Mrs Drablow and her husband recently adopted her sister's month old baby. She was deemed unfit to be a mother. Now Mrs Drablow and Mr Drablow have caught the Spanish Influenza and unfortunately have died. They told Carlisle before they died he was to look after Laura, the child."
"Oh, Anthony, it's all so sudden, but of course I would love to have a baby. What age did you say she was again?" gasped Johanna.
"She's three months, and if you would like, we can change her name."
"This is just so amazing! It's unbelievable! But what should we call her?"
''We'll think about that when we get home my love!'' exclaimed Anthony.
Sitting in the cottage which they shared with Carlisle, they debated over a name for the baby.
''What about Esmeralda'' said Carlisle, I've always liked that name.
''Hmm... what about Eve?'' contributed Anthony.
Johanna walked over to the window and gazed out at the birds. She often did this. She sat down on the window sill and smoothed her blue skirts.
''Green Finch and Linnet Bird..." she sang
"THAT'S IT! I'VE GOT IT!" she yelled
"What?" asked Anthony.
"How about Linnet?"
"Linnet?"
"Yes, like the beautiful bird. We could call her Linn for short though."
"Linnet...I like it!" said Carlisle.
"She shall be beautiful, just like her mother!" exclaimed Anthony.
Little Linnet Hope.
