## History

### Pre-Selection

Arin Philippe Schreave was born on January 23rd, 2067 to Queen Anjali Schreave and Princess Mélanie Schreave (née Stanton) in the early hours of a rainy Angeles morning. When he was born Anjali was still a princess but when he was two his grandfather died and she ascended to the throne.

Much of his early childhood was spent traveling with his mother and sister(s). Prince Arin was initially educated by tutors before he eventually transferred to a private Angeles school where he completed his secondary education. Arin struggled to make friends in school as a result of his status as well as his OCD.

Following the footsteps of his parents, Prince Arin attended Angeles University, where he eventually graduated with a degree in political sciences. As a student he kept mostly to himself and his close friends, however he could often be spotted at parties on campus. During the fall of his senior year at Angeles University, he and fellow student (and childhood friend) Felicity Graham became engaged.

By the following fall their engagement was called off and after months of trying to work things out they ended their relationship.

When Arin announces that he plans on holding a Selection his parents are against the idea, having met during college and not the "traditional way". While Anjali and Mélanie faced criticism over the choice to forgo the Selection, they feel that Arin won't face the same and it's unnecessary.

### Post-Selection

Once Arin makes his decision, following a discussion with his sister, Safiya, he decides to ask his mom for her engagement ring, wanting to use it to propose to Jen. Mélanie gives him her ring and Arin flies to Waverly so he can meet Jen's plane at the airport following her return from Italy with Wylan and Idalia. Jen stays on the plane while everyone deboards and when it's clear Arin goes to meet her and the couple reconciles, which culminates in Arin finally telling Jen that he loves her and proposing, though he forgets the ring. Jen tells him that she doesn't need a ring, wanting only him, and he pinky promises her in the meantime. He then tells her it's only six hours to Fennley, half-joking, to which Jen responds by saying she wants to see the ring before she decides.

They end up going back to Arin's plane, where Arin properly (but very nervously) proposes on one knee with Mel's ring. Jen asks him to put the ring on her, which he does. Following this, they do what they should have down given the fact they're adults... they sleep. Later on the flight, they discuss Clemence and Arin tells Jen that he still loves her but only as a friend and he confesses that he wants to keep their wedding between the two of them, going on to say that they've had so much take from them and if no one else knows they can't use it.

Jen and Arin arrive in Fennley and they make their wedding preparations, though they're forced to postpone a day when Jen gets sick. Two days after Arin proposes, they get married at a chapel in Fennley, on December 20th. They spend another day in Las Vegas before they fly back to Waverly to be with Jen's family for Christmas.

In Waverly, things don't quite go as planned with Brian separating the couple into different rooms, though Arin goes along with it. While Brian is showing him to his room he asks to speak with Brian the following morning before he goes out Christmas shopping, to which Brian agrees. That night at dinner with Jen's family the topic of the Selection comes up and Arin tells them that the Selection is over and that it's only him and Jen at that point.

While they're at the table they also announce they're moving in together, which leads to the discussion about Jen's apartment in New Haven and it's decided that she and Arin will go after Christmas to pack up her things. Unfortunately, things take a turn when Jen brings up that despite having applied to Angeles University she doesn't plan on going back to school, which Brian doesn't take well, and the two fight at the table, with Brian, intentionally switching the conversation into Cantonese so Arin can't understand. After Jen excuses herself from the table Arin tells Brian that Jen's idea of getting back to normal may not be the same as Brian's but she's trying her best and that should be enough. He then excuses himself as well and goes to find Jen in her room so he can comfort her. Brian later arrives at Jen's room and Arin leaves so they can talk alone.

Later that evening Jen sneaks into Arin's room, where she ends up spending the night. The following morning (Christmas Eve) Brian knocks on Arin's door to wake him up ahead of their talk as he's overslept, which leads to some embarrassment over Jen being in his room and causes Arin to worry about how his talk with Brian will go. Arin heads downstairs after getting dressed and Brian brings him to his office, where they sit down and Arin tells him that he intends to propose to Jen and wanted to do Brian the courtesy of letting him know. He also tells him that he thinks Jen will accept, to which Brian says he knows that she will. While in his office they also discuss Ian and Brian has Arin promise that he'll love Jen and protect her. At some point, Brian asks Arin if Jen is pregnant to which Arin in his panic(unfortunately) answers by saying he doesn't think so, which Brian doesn't appreciate- though Arin corrects himself by saying she isn't. Before parting ways Arin tells Brian that he has a ring and plans to propose to Jen on Christmas and despite the highs and lows that have happened during the visit so far Brian seems to give Arin some level of approval with a pat on the arm.

That night Jen goes to Arin's room to check on him after he spent the day out shopping following his conversation with her dad. While she's in his room she hears a noise beneath Arin's bed and despite Arin's insistence that it's nothing and his attempts to distract Jen she attempts to investigate and Arin has her close her eyes. When she opens her eyes he surprises Jen with a kitten, which he had intended to give her on Christmas, having gotten her because he knows how much Jen liked Alberto, Idalia's uncle's cat. After some deliberation, Jen settles on naming the cat Penny.

Arin and Jen celebrate Christmas morning in the Li house [[1]], where they exchange gifts with each other, one of which is a set of keys for an Audi Arin purchased for Jen so she can get around Angeles (which is very on-brand for the car lover). They spend the rest of the day with her family and later that evening they head out for a walk. As they make their way up the street to Elizabeth Park they discuss their future and agree that they want to wait five years before deciding whether or not they want to have children and make plans to pack up Jen's New Haven apartment the following day before they stop at the park, where they make snow angels.

Once they finish making their snow angels Arin gets down on one knee and proposes again before they make their way back to the house and they announce their engagement to Jen's family, which is met with congratulations- even if both Brian and Deirdre knew the proposal was coming. At dinner, they celebrate with champagne and discuss potential dates for their wedding when the topic comes up, with Arin suggesting fall and Jen suggesting the following June- a surprise for everyone in the room. Despite everyone's hesitancy given the fact that June is less than six months away Jen and Arin discuss it while her parents make dinner preparations and they settle on June since it would mean they have less time to wait.

After dinner, they head to Arin's room so they can have some privacy while they call his mom so they can tell her their news. Mel congratulates them, though she asks Jen if it means she'll finally stop trying to avoid her, half-joking... mostly. During their brief call, she asks about her ring, which Jen thanks her for and after a few minutes they wrap things up.

The day after Christmas the couple drives down to New Haven so they can pack up Jen's apartment together. While they're in the apartment they discuss Ian and the things he did, which is difficult for Jen. During the conversation, Arin tells Jen that he doesn't ever want to hurt her even if he knows it's unlikely. Despite how difficult it is for Jen to be back in the apartment they work through things and accomplish what they set out to do before they head back to Hartford, where they spend the evening alone since Brian has a shift at the hospital and Deirdre has taken the kids to her mother's for the night.

Unfortunately, Brian finds Jen and Arin in a compromising position late that night, which not only results in him discovering Penny, which Arin hadn't run by him, and Jen in tears. After Jen goes off to her room Arin goes to find Brian and tells him that he needs to go speak with Jen so he can set things right, which he does.

The next day while waiting for Jen during an outing Arin calls Clemence from the car, knowing he needs to officially break things off with her. During the call, he confesses that he's been in Waverly with Jen, which doesn't go over well with her, especially since it's been days since he made his choice, though Arin tells her it was so she could enjoy Christmas with her sister, Tracey. Clemence accuses him of keeping things from her for his sake, and during the call, they both end up crying. Arin tells her she deserves to be happy, though Clemence argues that deserving to be happy and getting to be happy are two different things. They end the call by calling each other by their old nicknames, each knowing it's the last time.

Jen and Arin have a difficult drive back to her parent's house as Arin tries to come to terms with the pain he's caused Clemence, which Jen does her best to help with by being understanding, knowing that Arin is upset over how much he's hurt someone he cares about. Arin ends up spending some time alone in his room before Jen checks on him, and Arin does his best to reassure Jen that he's not upset about the choice he made, even if she already knows that. Ultimately, it brings a sense of ease to their relationship because for the first time in the months they've known one another Jen doesn't have to share him with anyone else.

After spending the holidays with Jen's family, they head off to Angeles for a day or so before their honeymoon in the Maldives. While in Angeles they work on unpacking some of Jen's boxes in the attic and Arin tells Jen he'd like to repaint his suite with her, wanting to make it her home too. As they unpack they decide to call Jen's sister, Sara, and tell her they're engaged ahead of the upcoming official announcement. During the call, Sara expresses no surprise and just like Brian asks if Jen is pregnant. Once the call is over, they head downstairs to their room for the first time and Arin carries Jen across the threshold.

Later that night, after Arin shows Jen her new car and they take it for a spin, they head back up to the third floor to have dinner with his mom. During dinner, they're yet again faced with a family member assuming that Jen is pregnant- which they dismiss. Mel remains unfazed and takes the opportunity to ask Jen questions about her family and her plans with Arin, which Jen handles well despite the uncomfortable topics she brings up.

Following their brief stop in Angeles, Jen and Arin head off to the Maldives to have a proper honeymoon. They use their absence to their advantage and announce their engagement on January 2nd, 2091, delaying the media scrutiny they know they'll face... even if it's only for a few days.

In February of 2091, Jen arrives at Arin's office visibly upset and tells him that Yale called to inform her that after conducting their investigation they found insufficient evidence that Ian assaulted her and he's off the hook. Despite Arin's anger over the situation he keeps it together and tries to talk through things with Jen. During their conversation, he tells her that if the school won't do anything it's his turn to try if that's what Jen wants. Jen tells him the odds of him being convicted are low but Arin hopes that by doing something they can set an example and set change into motion. Ultimately Jen decides that she wants to go ahead with pressing charges and they begin the process.

On June 2nd, 2091 Jen and Arin's long-awaited wedding day arrives. The morning of the ceremony, before he heads to the church, Arin goes to see Brian. He tells Brian he knows how lucky he is to be marrying his daughter and Arin thanks him for welcoming him into the family. Brian apologizes for being hard on him, though Arin lets him know that he understands. Arin tells Brian he's fortunate to have a father like him to look up to and he gives him a bracelet he's picked out to pass along to Jen so she can wear it during the ceremony. Before they part ways Brian hugs Arin for the first time and wishes him luck.

Following the ceremony and official wedding portraits at the palace, they have their wedding reception at the Griffith Observatory in Angeles, the same spot where they had their first date. During the evening, they run into Evalin outside while taking a break after they share their first dance. Evalin congratulates them and they discuss her upcoming move to Switzerland, along with the possibility of a ski trip to visit her. Before Jen and Arin head off to take a few minutes to explore the observatory, they get a photo with Evalin.

After their wedding, Jen and Arin start their honeymoon off in Greece, where he gifts her a home, knowing her fondness for Athens. They spend the next few weeks traveling around Europe, also visiting Italy, Spain, France, and Scotland, before returning home.

When they arrive back in Angeles in late July, Jen finally decides to handle her ongoing suspicion that she's pregnant and takes a pregnancy test, which comes back positive. Having only just arrived home Arin is getting back into the swing of things with work when Jen texts him to ask if he can come up to their room when he's done for the day. Jen does her best to ease into the conversation before telling him that she's pregnant but ultimately she becomes very apologetic and nearly breaks down as she tells him. Arin is caught off guard and after asking her how sure she is, he excuses himself and spends a bit of time alone in the bathroom as he tries his best to come to terms with it and researches everything he can in the short time he spends in there. When he emerges from the bathroom he tries his best to make it clear to Jen that he wants to support her and he'll be there for her no matter what she wants to do, knowing that this wasn't in the five year plan they'd laid out and unsure about how she feels given everything that's happened in the past year and a half of her life. Arin admits he knows it was always going to be a difficult decision and he isn't sure he'd have but if Jen wants to have the baby then the choice is made, wanting her to be happy over anything else. In the end, they decide together to have the baby and Arin mentions that with a baby coming it's going to finally be time for them to move into Anjali's suite, something which he's been avoiding for the past year. As Arin tries to wrap his brain around the concept of being a parent he does his best to celebrate with Jen, picking her up and spinning her.

With Ian's upcoming trial the couple decides to hold off on telling anyone their news, wanting to wait until things have settled and they're more comfortable with the idea. August rolls around and at the end of the month, Ian's trial begins, which is taxing for the couple, though one welcome piece of news ahead of his conviction is that they're having a girl. They end up telling Mel their news first, though she tells them she already knows, citing the fact that they've been sneaking around for weeks and whispering to each other when they thought no one was paying attention.
