Of Atticus' daughters, which one does Minerva gets along the best (Reyna; Oldest and responsible, dutiful and carries on the Arcano line; Margrethe, middle and rebellious, very viking-y and a warrior and Wilhemine, youngest and stylish, witty and cunning)?
And some headcanons of Simon and a heavily pregnancy Nile, please?

— I imagine Minerva gets along well with all three of them, but in different ways. Reyna definitely reminds Minerva of her twin, and that relationship is perhaps the most fraught. It’s not that they don’t get along, it’s that Minerva sees so much of her brother in Reyna that it is sometimes hard for her to separate the two. Margrethe would probably slightly intimidate Minerva, but she’d also be quite proud of her granddaughter. Minerva also relates to be the second daughter and being a middle child, which makes it easy for Minerva to be a bit of a sympathetic ear. Perhaps, she’d get along the easiest with Wilhelmine, who also reminds Minerva of her baby sister, Billie… at at least in name. Aside from some personality differences, Minerva seems like she would gel the best with Wilhelmine.
Some headcanons of Simon and a heavily pregnancy Nile, please?
Simon is a stress case that first time as he has a lot of anxieties. The closer it gets to her due date, the more stressed he gets. He tries not to show it too much, but isn’t always as good as hiding it as he thinks.
They spend a long time going back and forth over names. They agree on middle names easily, one after Simon’s family and one of Ottoman origin. However, they struggle to find a first name they both like and it’s something that happens each time.
Nile’s comfort level is dependent on which time of year the baby’s due. It’s easier with Sidney and Louis, who were both born in the colder months. It’s not terribly warm when Niall is born, but the temperature is so up and down that Nile cannot get comfortable. Oliver is born in August and that’s the most uncomfortable.
Simon is somehow the most attentive and inattentive husband. He’s there to get her what she needs, whether it’s food or drink or a cook bath. However, he doesn’t rub her feet and sometimes gets distracted. It doesn’t help that he starts experiencing joint bleeds towards the end of Nile’s first pregnancy, so he’s in pain and is trying to avoid overworking his joints.
Simon is trying his best. He’s making due with what he can and even tasks a few servants that he employs to see to Nile’s needs, especially when he’s busy or his hemophilia is wreaking havoc on his body.
