Joseph Lancaster had a "girlfriend," which saved him the trouble of being set up on blind dates by the family. To avoid suspicion from his family, Joseph would bring Vesper Carter back home every weekend.
During that era, flash marriages weren't the norm. Couples would typically date for at least a year before discussing marriage, so Joseph wasn't concerned about being pressured into marrying by his parents.
In the blink of an eye, it was summer again, and Daemon Lancaster's wife, Victoria Thornton, gave birth naturally to a second child, another boy, which made Eva Hayes practically beam with joy.
On the day at the hospital, she declared that the wedding of her second son, Michael Lancaster, would be arranged before the year's end, marking a double celebration for the family.
Her words subtly poked at the elder son's side, boasting about her son Daemon's robust health and claiming that Victoria would soon be pregnant again.
