As the spring slowly warmed up to summer, several changes happened in the Mosley household. Alina moved in of course and though she was still grieving her mother, she formed quite a strong bond with Cata. Ernesto and Cecelia also announced the incoming arrival of the very first grandchild.

The whole household was excited about a new baby. It was a welcome change after their recent loss and was bound to lift their spirits. Alina, however, didn't share their excitement: she protested at any talk of the baby and insisted on monopolising all of Cata's time.

Cata understood her feelings- it was too much change lately for Alina and unfortunately Cata didn't feel equipped to handle things. She had to admit that the bureau worker was right, she'd already raised her children and now she was ready to be done with it.

Oliver was taken aback by his wife's feelings. Being at work all day, he hadn't realised just how difficult things were for Cata but he felt guilty agreeing to Cata's suggestion to send her away, she was his family after all.

"She doesn't have to go to strangers," Cata added, "someone else must have space."

But Oliver wasn't assured, none of their children were married save for Nesto and having the young couple take Alina in was a bad idea.

"Think about it Olly," Cata continued, "we're not getting any younger, we can't be there as she grows up." She looked up at Oliver and asked, "could she handle losing us too?"

Over the next few weeks, Oliver combed through articles and bulletins, searching for any mention of a Lucille Lloyd amongst the list of survivors. He looked and looked but always turned up empty- it seemed Lucy had really died at sea. He looked as well for his niece but it seemed that she too had met the fate of her mother.

Oliver was so consumed by his grief that he hadn't the energy for anything else. He hardly even left his bedroom that is until he heard an unfamiliar voice one afternoon.

The stranger was with the children's bureau and had with her a little girl. A little girl with his father's chin, his mother's eyes and his twin's smile. His niece- Alina.

The bureau worker droned on and on, talking about adoption and paperwork and systems. "I know you must be preparing to be grandparents Mr. and Mrs. Mosley and this must be a shock", she added as if expecting Oliver to turn Alina away.

That was out of the question, Alina would not live with strangers when she had family who loved her. Oliver and Cata would just have to make do.

somewhat of an odd question but to any historical simblrs there's this british series "Back in time" that has modern day families travelling through the past , basically like a real life decades challenge and I am obsessed. I've seen all the episodes of each series so I was wondering if any other countries have similar programmes?

Upon receiving Lucy's letter, the entire extended Mosley family was awash with excitement. Bertie, Oliver and Nell couldn't wait to finally see their sister again and the rest of the family was eager to finally put a face to all the fantastical stories they'd heard.

So, once the day arrived, they all crammed together in Oliver's tenement waiting for Nellie to arrive with Lucy and Alina in tow.

Unfortunately, she arrived with just the morning's paper in hand; the headline reading: Titanic Sunk. All lives but 868 lost.

Some more pictures of the wedding and a little photoshoot.

After their first kiss, Willa and Abe continued to see each other, going on multiple dates throughout the spring. Willa was quite sure she wanted to marry him, being with Abe and having all his attention was a welcome change from the loneliness she often experienced at home.

Dearest brother,

You must forgive me for such a late response, I have read and treasured your letters, of course, but I have been rather occupied with preparations and I haven't quite had the time to write up a reply. Fear not though, Oliver, for I have fantastic news: Alina and I would soon be joining you all in America! I know you must be quite shocked. Truth be it although it has been great getting to know your not so little family through correspondence, my yearning for home is now overwhelming and I find that I want my darling Alina to get to know the cousins she so often reads about (she swears she and your Willa will be the greatest of friends age notwithstanding). I also can’t deny the fact that I am getting on in years and I want Alina to have a family even when I’m gone. She is quite excited as am I. We will be sailing on the RMS Titanic, I'm quite sure you would have heard of it- it's all over the papers here. They say it's perfectly safe despite it's vastness though that hasn't been enough to calm my nerves. Nevertheless, I'm sure we're in for a smooth journey and us Mosley siblings shall be together once more.

Send Bertie and Nell my wishes,

Lucille

In early 1911, Ernesto Mosley wed Cecelia Ajala in a small private ceremony with just family in attendance.

The opulence of the 1950s gave way to the structured, office wear inspired clothing of the 1960s with structured pinafores and tailored trousers for both boys and girls. It wasn't all serious, however; the 1960s birthed an explosion of colour with vibrant magentas, vivid teals and sunny yellows gaining popularity in children's clothing.

By the 1970s, this colour explosion began to die out in favour of more muted browns, oranges and greens. Flared trousers were in vogue for boys and girls as clothing began to become more unisex, though pinafores and dresses remained popular for little girls.

Children's clothing in the 1980s can only be described using one word: zany. Bold colours and even bolder patterns gained popularity: they featured in everything from matching sweatsuits to fanny packs. Acid washed jeans along with converse high-tops became staples for girls and boys.

The 1990s took the casual style of the '80s further. Boys' clothing was baggy in fit, ranging from comfortable tracksuits to relaxed cargos. For girls, this was largely similar although there was an emergence of "preppy" fashion in the mid 90s. Pleated plaid skirts and button up shirts rose in popularity accessorised with knee high socks.

Y2K saw the emergence of a celebrity culture that remains today. Children, particularly girls, wanted to dress like their favourite tv characters so the bright and often excessive outfits feature on tv channels like disney and nickelodeon were emulated. For boys, skater culture was on the rise so baggy cargos, t-shirts and polos were staples.

By 2010, the extravagance of y2k petered out replaced with preppy, "business casual" inspired outfits. Kidswear began to emerge as a legitimate field in fashion and designers did their best to combine comfort with style sometimes leading to disastrous combinations such as hoodies paired with blazers.

The widespread usage of social media in the 2020s has led to what some call "the disappearance of the awkward phase". Children's wear is often times indistinguishable from adults just like in the 19th century, however, now comfort is very much prioritised. This decade has seen the resurgence of many styles of previous decades: oversized sweatshirts and hoodies paired with flared or baggy jeans are popular along with shoes like uggs and crocs.
