Update:

         -When Lucian and Alaric decide they want a child (and after some in depth discussions) Phaedra volunteers to act as a surrogate. She keeps this a secret from the rest of her family, and takes a year and a half off of her work to "travel".

                            -After her time off (which Phaedra considers a vacation and a break from the pressures of her family and job) she returns to her job, continuing to take on ambitious cases.
