Page Six: Promiscuous Beauforts
Thanks to trusted sources, we can now confirm that both of the 18 year-old Beaufort twins are expecting children shortly before starting their first year at Oxford this October.
The parentage of Lydia Beaufort’s twins remains a mystery as out sources say not even those close to her are aware of the father’s identity. However, backtracking from her due date in mid July, Miss Beaufort likely conceived the children before starting her final year of school widening the pool of potential fathers from just her schoolmates.
The drama regarding James Beaufort child’s on the other hand is not just its mother’s identity, but rather how these teen parents found themselves orbiting each other in the first place. James Beaufort is captain of the two-time champion lacrosse team for Maxton Hall, star student, and junior CEO of Beaufort, heading their new Young Beaufort line. The mother of his future child is Ruby Bell a scholarship student from Gormsey. Her mother works at a bakery, bringing in the only income for their family, which also includes a disabled father and an older sister in public school. Miss Bell, however, has high expectations for her future. Thanks to her high marks at Maxton Hall, she has earned a place at Oxford this fall, assuming she’s still attends. She chairs the event committee at the school, organizing numerous events and has been selected to run the Alice Campbell fundraiser to take place in a few weeks time. It is common knowledge among the student body that after young Mr.Beaufort invited strippers to the welcome gala, he was suspended from the lacrosse team and assigned to the events committee for the donor gala. Members of the committee has stated how close the two grew that eventually led to Beaufort lending a dress from queen Victoria to Bell for not only the poster, but to wear it to the gala. Around this time, a viral video circulated where James saved Ruby from drowning in a pool. The two have reportedly been hot and cold ever since, but how will this toxic teenage relationship handle the trials of parenthood? It appears Mortimer Beaufort has already requested a DNA test and young James is fighting it. Of course a DNA test must happen as we’re talking about millions of dollars, not that it would help if the girl intentionally got pregnant when he became interested in her.
The question still remains if the future of Beaufort can have a baby outside of wedlock with a commoner, how bad must the father of Lydia‘s babies be that she can’t breathe his name.
