I'm Back!! And, if I am back, that means that the Francis Family is back. I realize that I am going to miss some things, but that is why my beloved husband is more than welcome to add whatever I missed. ;D 
Here is everything I remember...
Cordelia is the oldest daughter of Henry VIII and Katherine of Aragon and the older sister of Mary. She is also (eventually) the older sister of Elizabeth and Edward.
While on a trip to Bavaria, Cordelia met Daniel Francis, a man from one of the Bavarian villages known as Brennidon. They fell in love and eloped soon after. Upon getting back to England - and Henry finding out about their marriage - Daniel was arrested and put in the Tower for a week while Cordelia was confined to her chambers in house arrest. Upon Daniel's release, the couple headed back to Bavaria. It was when they arrived back in Bavaria that Daniel introduced Cordelia to his son, William, whom he had with his childhood sweetheart, Alison Weston. She also met Alison's sister, Margaret, and Daniel's brother, Michael and his sister, Jaqueline AKA Jackie.
Michael and Daniel were not and still aren't really on good terms with each other. It all started when Daniel was courting Margaret. Michael had a problem of wanting eveything that Daniel had. That want included women. Michael was able to convince Margaret that Daniel didn't love her. Margaret believed him and left Daniel to marry Michael, though she loved Daniel and not Michael. Margaret and Michael aren't on great terms with each other either, but things seem to be getting better for them.
It was during this week of separation in England that Cordelia found out she was pregnant.
9 months passed. After catching Daniel cheating on her with Margaret, Cordelia went into labor.
Abigail Minerva Francis was born around Christmastime, in the midst of a huge fight between her parents.
Cordelia almost didn't survive the birth, catching Child-Bed fever and almost dying in the process. But, she survived and - after reconciling with Henry and a couple years passed - moved back to England with her husband and daughter. They now reside in Hedingham.
After spending a few lovely months in Hedingham, Cordelia and Daniel got into another fight. Daniel, afraid that Cordelia would almost die again should she ever get pregnant, voiced the fact that he didn't want to risk losing her to have anymore children. Cordelia was outraged, telling him that she would never give up her child just to save her own life. Daniel departed back to Bavaria, leaving Cordelia at Hedingham. Both of them didn't know that Cordelia was pregnant at the time of the fight.
Will had had a small crush on Cordelia ever since he first set his eyes on her. Because of this, he was very protective of her, especially when it came to Daniel. Will had always held a grudge against Daniel because - from his point of view - Daniel left Alison to fend for herself when Will was born. He soon found out that this wasn't the case. Daniel and Alison were - at one point - in love with each other. Daniel didn't want to leave Alison, he just felt that he owed it to her after getting her pregnant in the first place. After this revelation, Will and Daniel began to be on better terms with each other. Will is now in a relationship with Madge Sheldon. (( ** Let me know if this has changed!!!**))
When Daniel came back to England with Alison after being in Bavaria for a few months after his fight with his wife, he and Cordelia forgave each other and both rejoiced at the thought of another child on the way. During Cordelia's pregnancy, Daniel decided that he wanted to better himself by going to college to get an education at Oxford. He wanted to become a doctor. Though they didn't want to leave each other, Cordelia and Daniel said their good-byes and Daniel went off to school. Alison then wrote to Michael to come to Hedingham because she felt that they needed a male figure at Hedingham to protect the women. She knew very well that Cordelia and herself could fend for themselves, but with Cordelia pregnant, she didn't want to take any chances. Michael came to England...and Margaret ended up following.
When Daniel came back home on a break from school, Cordelia was about 7 months into her pregnancy. One night, Daniel got a letter from his sister, Jackie, telling him that their mother had passed away. That same night, Cordelia went into premature labor.
Riley Daniel Francis, despite being two months early, was born a healthy baby. Daniel and Cordelia were overjoyed to know that their child was healthy despite the early birth. Abby took a liking to her new brother right away, even though he used to "hit" her while he was in Cordelia's stomach.
Soon after the birth of Riley and leaving Abby and Riley under the care of Alison, Cordelia and Daniel headed to Bavaria to pay their respects to Daniel's mother. Daniel's brother, Michael and Margaret went with them. Daniel blamed his sister, Jackie, for their mother's death, though Jackie had no control over their mother tripping on an overgrown root and hitting her head on a rock.
The last time we saw our characters, they were paying respects to Daniel's mother at her grave. I don't think we'll be starting there again, though. We might start a little while after that.
Now, I'm sure I've forgotten something. This post is pretty long. Like I said, my beloved husband, Daniel, is more than welcome to add whatever I missed. But, that is Francis Family's story - so far - for anyone who doesn't know it or remember it. ;D

I can't remember exactly where they are though, but I'll talk to Abeer about it.
