This is the face of a woman whose son is not even attempting to hide a quiver of arrows. This is the face of a woman who knows the son carrying a quiver of arrows is a married man.
This is the face of a woman whoβs saying βYou arenβt my problem anymore. Let Kate find you with an arrow through the leg.β
But Iβm also imagining Kate walking out into the garden to find Benedict with an apple on his head and Anthony teaching Gregory to shoot a bow like
βWhat the HELL is going on out here?β
βJust a bit of fun! Nothing to worry about, Love!β
βI said bond with them! Not maim a brother together!β
So having read the bridgerton spouse group chats by you and bridgerton family group chats by @holybatgirlz Iβve realised Benedict seems to always been one of the ones getting injured during family games nightβ¦
Does Sophie ever ban him from playing after an Injury or flat out refuse to go after sheβs had all four kids and Benedict ends up back in hospital and ends up out of action for a few weeks meaning Sophie has four kids and a husband to tend to (and forces the injuring causing party to wait on him hand and foot for the duration of his Convalescence)
Also on another pointβ¦ reading these makes me wanna write a family games night fic ππ
I feel like by the time all the spouses are married in and as they all start their families that Bridgerton game nights would become a bit calmer - only fractionally, but enough that the hospital visits aren't as frequent and the injuries sustained are far less serious. Though the Bridgertons (and Kate) remain insanely competitive to a terrifying degree, the spouses manage to limit game nights to once a year at most and then following the annual game night the spouses make it very clear how little they care for the family's version of a casual night of board/parlour games, and at the very least some of the Bridgertons take their partners feelings on board and attempt to mellow their competitiveness (kinda).
But with that being said, just because the injuries at game nights wind down, doesn't mean casualties don't occur through other competitive dumbass means...
BSSG Group Chat
Sophie: Guys I'm at the hospital.
Penelope: omg are you ok?????
Lucy: oh no what's happened?
Sophie: Ben broke his leg.
Phillip: Shit how did he manage that?
Sophie: He broke it go-karting.
Gareth:
Simon: What the ever living fuck was he doing go-karting?
Lucy: and not to be ageist - but at his age????
Phillip: The fuck is he playing at?
Gareth: i have to know
Gareth: did he go by himself?
Michael: Gareth please don't make this any more tragic for Ben or any more embarrassing for Sophie
Sophie: For your information he wasn't by himself.
Lucy: then who the hell did he go with????
Penelope: wait
Sophie: Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news
Phillip: Oh no
Simon: Please don't say it
Sophie: But it was a Bridgerton sibling day out
Michael: Oh for fuck's sake
Lucy: but greg told me he was going to spend the afternoon helping his mum pick up the flowers and decorations for penelope and eloise's baby shower on saturday!
Penelope:
Simon: As much as I can share in your dismay Lucy I can't say I'm remotely shocked to learn that Daphne and her siblings all lied about their whereabouts to hide the fact that they were having a sneaky go-karting afternoon π
Michael: I'm well aware I'm including my wife in this but do none of them have jobs??? Who goes go-karting on a Wednesday afternoon????
Phillip: Lets just be grateful that there was only one casualty from their go-karting escapade.
Sophie: ...
Sophie: Well I hate to be the bearer of bad news again
Simon: Sophie don't you dare
Penelope: oh god do we even want to know
Sophie: But they've all been hospitalised.
Lucy:
Michael: Why
Simon:
Michael: Why must they be like this
Gareth: just how exactly do 8 people get taken to hospital from a single go-karting afternoon?
Phillip: Soph is El ok????? I'm on my way right now
Sophie: She's ok Phil and so is the baby, she's just got a sprained wrist. She fared the best out of them all injury wise.
Penelope: El's fared the best???????
Michael:
Michael: Just what exactly is the extent of the damages we're talking here @ Sophie
Sophie: So Colin has a broken leg to match Ben's, Anthony's in a neck brace, Fran's fractured a couple of ribs, Daph's fractured her arm while Greg's broken his and has bruised his coccyx, and Hy's broken her big toe and is currently sporting an eye patch.
Penelope: COLIN'S BROKEN HIS LEG???????
Penelope: I'm 4 weeks away from giving birth wtf am I supposed to do with Limpy for a husband?!?!?!?
Lucy: ffs greg and i were supposed to be playing tennis with hermione and my brother this sunday π€
Gareth: at least this isn't your wife:
Gareth: and soph how exactly did hy end up with an eye patch from go-karting?
Sophie: Greg shot her.
Lucy: HE DID WHAT
Simon: He shot her?????
Michael: Wow Greg shot Hy?
Michael: Honestly I would have imagined Fran snapping before Greg
Gareth: @ Sophie if you've previously failed to mention that my wife is wearing an eye patch because she's been blinded in that eye NOW WOULD BE THE TIME TO MENTION IT
Sophie: Relax she hasn't been blinded, it's just precautionary until the swelling's gone down.
Lucy: CAN WE GET BACK TO THE PART WHERE MY HUSBAND SHOT HIS SISTER
Penelope: yeah wtf is Greg doing with a gun????
Simon: And why does he have one for go-karting?!?!??!
Sophie: Ok so it was a BB gun he was using
Lucy: AND HE HAD IT BECAUSE?!?!?!?!?
Sophie: Well you're all going to love this
Sophie: They weren't just doing regular go-karting
Phillip: What
Sophie: They were doing it Mario Kart style.
Michael:
Simon: I actually can't stand them.
Gareth: not to be pedantic but they don't have guns in mario kart
Gareth: did they get it mixed up with gta coz that would make way more sense with all of the injuries they've acculumated
Lucy: are you seriously telling me they were driving go-karts around a track while shooting at each other??????
Penelope: I'm a month away from giving birth to a Bridgerton baby π
Sophie: Basically they were using an assortment of items like hurling banana peels and pouring out oil on the track to make the others slip, they were throwing frisbees and balls at each other which were meant to be like shells and they had a variety of water/nerf/BB guns to take each other out that way. All of which contributed to the massive pile up that caused most of their injuries.
Michael: God almighty
Gareth: question; was hy not wearing a helmet?
Sophie: She was but she had the visor open after Eloise sprayed it over with paint which was how she ended up getting shot.
Kate: Omfg
Kate: I cannot believe this!
Sophie: It's a lot to take in I know.
Kate: I can't believe they didn't invite me!
Michael: Kate do you even care that your husband is in a neck brace?
Kate: Well that's what he fucking gets for not including me! Karma's a bitch and so is Anthony!
Simon: @ Kate
Phillip: God can you imagine what Violet's reaction to this is going to be when she finds out?
Sophie: No need to imagine she already knows.
Penelope: omfg
Gareth: damn you already told on them???
Sophie: Violet was the first person I told as soon as I heard about it all. I'm sick to death of them all acting like this and being so stupidly reckless. Not one of them even stopped to think that it might not be a good idea and now I've got to see after 4 kids with an invalid for a husband, and the rest of their injuries will come as just as great an inconvenience to all of you as well!
Sophie: So yeah I immediately went to Violet to tell on them because I want her to wipe the absolute floor with them for being so thoughtless!!!!!
Penelope:
Gareth:
Michael: You did what had to be done Soph and for that I applaud you πππ
Sophie: But that's not all, I'm also punishing Ben for being so feckless.
Kate: Oooh kinky
Sophie: Far from it. For starters when I got here Ben wanted to cuddle Vi to cheer himself up but I told him no and that he's getting no snuggles with her from now until his cast comes off.
Gareth: holy shit you're gate-keeping his own daughter from him
Lucy:
Lucy: and i love it
Michael: How quickly did he start to cry?
Sophie: Instantaneously. It was incredibly rewarding.
Sophie: And I'd encourage you all to do the same with your respective Bridgerton in whatever way you see fit.
Penelope: once Colin's home I'll keep offering him food but then just sit and eat it right in front of him πππ
Gareth: i'm going to get a toy parrot and perch it on hy's shoulder and call her patchy π¦
Simon: I'm not even going to bother picking Daph up from the hospital. She has to learn she can't keep pulling stunts like this as a mother of four.
Simon: That and I've already started drinking to deal with this nonsense so I couldn't even if I had to.
Phillip: I'm going to make El take and stay with the twins at back to back children's parties this weekend. She'll absolutely fucking hate it.
Kate: I'm just going to laugh in Anthony's face. Probably get the kids to join in too.
Lucy: damn i'm not sure what i'm going to do with greg
Michael: I'm going to withhold sex.
Penelope: damn that's a bold move
Simon: But is that going to be more of a punishment for her or you?
Michael: Not to give you all too much of an insight but that's going to kill Fran more than you'd think it would.
Michael: But that's what she gets for going along with her fam's unhinged competitive behaviour.
Michael: No more snu snu.
Penelope: I actually think if we all withheld sex from our respective partners that they might finally learn their lesson.
Lucy: that's... actually a very valid point that could very much work
Kate: Well we don't call them sex idiots for nothing.
Michael: They're essentially a bunch of horny Tinkerbells; they need sex to live.
Simon: I truly hate that sentiment. But you're not wrong.
Michael: So are you all following my lead? It's your own choice obvs, no pressure if anyone would prefer not to.
Gareth: i'm not exactly chomping at the bit to be having snu snu with patchy
Kate: Yeah neck braces don't make for a turn on either.
Penelope: And being this pregnant I'm not really in the mood for it as it is.
Sophie: Like I'm going to have the time or energy seeing after the kids while Ben's bedridden anyway.
Lucy: fine by me
Simon: I have 0 qualms with this method of punishment.
Phillip: Same here.
Michael: Then it's no snu snu all around! Vive le resistance!
Eloise: If Sophieβs here can you ask her to tell Phillip me and the little sapling are both Iβm fine.
Benedict: Why are you not telling Phillip yourself??
Eloise: Because heβs not here and I donβt want him to freak out.
Eloise: Sophieβs my emergency contact.
Colin: Oh shit for real? Sheβs mine too.
Hyacinth: Same.
Benedict: Hold on.
Benedict: Who here has Sophie as their emergency contact?
Hyacinth: ππ»ββοΈ
Eloise: Me
Colin: Here to
Gregory: ππ»ββοΈ
Daphne: I also may have her down as mine. π¬π¬
Anthony: Yes
Francesca: In my defense I kept forgetting to change her to Michael
Benedict: Wait.
Benedict: Are you all saying you all have MY WIFE as your emergency contact???
Hyacinth: Yes
Eloise: Obviously
Daphne: Itβs better her than Simon
Eloise: What did you not understand from us all saying yes the first time you asked??
Eloise: Who do you think I put down on the waiver form??
Benedict: PHILLIP!!
Benedict: YOUR HUSBAND AND THE FATHER OF YOUR CHILD
Eloise: And the walking definition of caution and anxiety??
Eloise: Absolutely not.
Benedict: Iβ
Benedict: Do I have to remind you all that you HAVE YOUR OWN SPOUSES YOU CAN PUT DOWN???
Benedict: Spouses who I assume all know your medical histories.
Colin: Sophieβs too kind to pull the plug on me so I thought sheβd be a reasonable choice to put down in case something happened.
Gregory: I donβt want to freak out Lucy. And Sophie is like a walking wave of calm.
Anthony: Kate is less likely to kill me if Sophie is present to watch.
Anthony: Sophie is also incredibly competent and good at remembering stuff. I only put her down after I noticed she remembered all of our children's medical stuff.
Hyacinth: Hence why I put her down as mine.
Benedict: And can I ask why mother was not put down by any of you instead???
Gregory:
Gregory: Because we should b giving mum a heart attack?
Benedict: Jesus christ
Benedict: First my wife wonβt let me hold my daughter and now this
"There's like this buzzy energy. And it's not even like we wait till 10 o'clock, it's like as soon as we get on set, maybe you know 7/8 o'clock. Um, and by like 1 o'clock we're exhausted so we have to, you know be fed and then we go again. And it feels really, like a brother/sister relationship that we have with everyone." - Luke Newton

Hello there! I present to you the Bridgerton Books Timelime Part II - Weddings and Children!
First, I want to thank everyone that liked, commented and rebloged the first timeline, it is great to know that my odc was helpful to the fandom lol, if you don't know what I'm talking about, you can see the previous timeline here.
So, this timeline with the children in order of birth was requested by my dear ODC-anon and @misstonybridgerton, enjoy girls!
I made this based on the Julia Quinn's Bridgerton Family Tree, so for the children who were born in the same year, I'm not sure of who is the eldest and who is the youngest, it's just a guess! So, please, don't be attached to this detail lol
After finishing this, I can imagine the cousin-madness that it would be! As a person who has 17 cousins from each side of the family, I can relate to the insanity of a really large family.
