As the family returned home from the Winterfest celebration hosted by Elijah and Celia, Isaiah embraced his youngest daughter before she left to help her husband prepare the children for bed. Instead of proceeding to his own room, he found himself standing beneath Elyse’s portrait that hung over the fireplace. It became an evening routine of his to stare at and admire his late wife. If he’d known it’d be his last time doing so, he wouldn’t have changed a thing.

A friend… “A friend,” she said. Ida was supposedly bringing a friend home to introduce to their parents. She avoided sharing said friend’s name: Theodore Vincent. Theodore Vincent - the coworker. Theodore Vincent - from the city. Theodore Vincent - her future husband. Did she leave any mention of that out, as well?

Annette sensed the parlor’s oncoming combustion from the rage of Elyse and Isaiah, alone. Theodore Vincent only added fuel to the fire when he flung himself across the room to embrace Isaiah and confidently called him “Pa!”... There would have been room for hysterics if not for the surreal reality of the situation. 

The youngest Ambroise’s suspicion grew when Ida mentioned Theodore’s ideal knowledge of locations safe for the Black majority in the city. What did that matter? After this exchange she’d never be allowed out of the house again, let alone to see and marry Theodore Vincent.

Annette’s confusion grew at the sight of Ida’s preparation at the front door. Suitcases? Poor Annette didn’t understand until her mother’s screaming began. She only made out a few words in all of the commotion: madness… nonsense… leaving your family… too young… dangerous… NO!... where did we go wrong?... cruel… con man… Isaiah do something!

In the end, all Isaiah could do was hug his daughter, who was legally an adult and soon-to-be-married-to-a-con man, goodbye.

Elyse and Isaiah spent their days agonizing over their daughter who hadn’t contacted them since. Once in a while, Annette caught her parents in acts that weren’t centered on their concern.

Annette worried for her parents after the antics of Ida Ambroise Vincent. Months later, she still felt guilty for her irritation toward her sister. After frightening their parents so often, the least she could do was write to ensure her safety.

The evening finally fell to an end. Talk carried from the ballroom to the streets as those in attendance replayed their night aloud with one another, tired smiles preparing them for a long night's rest after as much social and physical exhaustion they endured.

On the ride home, Isaiah and Elyse tried to attain conversation with their two eldest, but they were far too distracted with their own thoughts: Elijah satisfied from spending most of the night with Mae, and Josephine plotting her next trip to the market in hopes of seeing Pierre again.

1881 - 1907 Survived by his four children and nine grandchildren.

Isaiah Ambroise, a founder of the Ambroise Legacy, lived a life of pleasures and challenges. 

By the time Isaiah turned sixteen, he had two goals: attend university and marry Elyse. He believed that he had to work harder than those around him to achieve what he wanted in life, and this perspective strengthened after marrying Elyse and acquiring an inheritance. During the pregnancy of their last child, Isaiah was offered a position at a newly constructed institute for Black students a few towns away. Over the next few years, he’d return home a few days every other week, inevitably missing out on the growth of his children. Even in his absence, his children loved him immensely. They admired their father so much that his oldest children initially sought to become teachers in his path.

While he and Elyse were able to grow old together, her passing left an ache that his children and grandchildren couldn’t heal. He spent his last year mourning his late wife and admiring his children who would continue their legacy.

Elijah’s family stood in awe at the entrance of his new home. Elyse couldn’t be prouder and Isaiah was especially impressed with the success of their son. Josephine rebelled against her own envy while Ida had no trouble revealing hers, and Annette was certain she’d just entered a palace.

The guide through the house concluded when everyone’s individual interests led them down their own paths. Celia accompanied Annette as the young girl labeled every room her favorite, and Josephine and Ida found themselves enamored by the massive music room. Why would anyone consider three pianos in one room necessary?

Ida suddenly wished the Owens had birthed a son.

Isaiah watched his family through the evening as they gathered in Elijah’s home to celebrate Winterfest. While he wished Elyse had gotten more time, he was pleased knowing that she was able to live as long as she did with appreciation for their family that would never cease expansion and prosperity.

Isaiah joined Elyse on her daily stroll through the garden that she hadn’t stopped loving since the day they arrived in Windenburg. This day, however, was unlike the others. Annette’s pregnancy instilled vigor into Elyse’s steps. She promised that her pleas for more grandchildren wouldn’t end until she was drowning in them. As a child she was taught that the larger a family was - the stronger they were, and she believed hers stronger than any. 

Elyse expressed her utmost joy in their children, all with careers they enjoyed and surrounded by loved ones. Even Ida, who solely communicated by letter, was doing what she loved - and although it once seemed futile to Elyse, she admired her daughter’s courage and ambition. Finally, she expressed her love for her husband and companion, who was all she could have ever wanted and more.

She laughed at her own sudden sentiment and the couple continued down the path that they’d grown accustomed to over the years. Neither of them could’ve assumed that it’d be Elyse’s final walk through the garden she never stopped loving.

Not long after the wedding, Morris and Edith Irvin moved into the Ambroise home alongside Annette and her parents. Early in their relationship, Annette voiced her intentions to forever reside in her childhood home, and Morris admired her commitment to caring for her parents into their old age. Elyse and Isaiah were happy to witness and partake in the growth of their youngest child as she began her own family.

To help settle them into their new home, Isaiah assisted Morris in renovating Josephine’s old bedroom for the newlyweds, and Annette and Ida’s bedroom for Edith.  Elyse was delighted to have a grandchild within arm’s reach and Edith reciprocated her joy considering she’d never met her other grandparents. Annette couldn’t contain her enthusiasm in the process of restoring the noise in the halls of their home with the help of her parents, Morris, Edith, and a child on the way.

Annette, on the way to her new job in town, waved goodbye to her parents who were preoccupied with their grandchildren. She appreciated the occasional visits from her niece and nephews because they kept her parents lively. Their company made her reminisce about the days of her fading preadolescence in a full house where noise never died.

As the dinner party continued, Elijah decided against admitting his misstep to Booker. He told himself he didn’t want to ruin the evening for their families and promised he’d go straight to the office the morning, or two, after. As much as he didn’t want to address his oversight and suffer the potential consequences, withholding such information left him with a sense of eternal dread in fear of his future finances,  so much so that he was unable to enjoy the festive evening with his family. 

Elijah was lost in thought for a considerable amount of time throughout the night and up until Celia surprised both him and the guests with an announcement toward the end of dinner. He hid the immediate feeling that settled in his stomach the moment the news of a third child left his wife’s mouth. After taking a moment to step away, he couldn’t interpret whether he had more fear or guilt. What was meant to be joyous news shouldn’t have intensified his stress the way it did.
