Just a few months before Maggie-May was expected to give birth some of James's co-workers went on strike for better wages. Their demands weren't unreasonable and James was tempted to join them, but he still had an expecting wife and the initial popularity of book EMMELINE was starting to wane. Her next book TRUTH AND IDEALS was barely out of the initial draft stage and they needed money, so he talked to her about the strike. Much to his surprise she agreed with the strike and actually encouraged him to join them.
James did just that and even took the lead on planning what they would do, how to change their demands to make them more appealing to their boss. Unfortunately, the only thing he accomplished was losing his job and their first child was mere weeks away from being born, at least that's what Maggie-May told him. All seemed lost, how were they going to be able to support themselves, let alone a new baby?
Little did he know that at the same time Maggie-May was taking some time to reconnect with her family; most wanted nothing to do with her, except her twin sister, Emma, who had recently married and was expecting a child of her own.
One day Emma came to visit while James was out searching all across Salmon Woods for a job. During the visit, Emma told Maggie-May that their younger sister, Martha had just married a politician who sympathized with men like James who just wanted fair wages. Better yet there was a podium polisher position open where the politician worked.

As soon as James got home that day, long after Emma had returned home; Maggie-May told him about the job and James immediately starting to work on his charisma to make sure he landed the job.

A couple more weeks passed and then Maggie-May's water broke in the middle of the night. James immediately started to panic and fell to his knees in prayer. Someone must have heard him because although Maggie-May's labor was long, they gave birth to a healthy son. They named him Clifford James Nolan and both loved him instantly.

I know she's married to someone anyways, I just don't remember who since I really don't play with her that much. Also I once again apologize with some historically inaccurate clothing, I really hate how limited maternity clothes are.
