Raymond 'Ray' Quentin Garbline (27) is the younger brother of Lea Gwendolyn Chassent (29) and two other older sisters (29+), and brother-in-law of Graham Ezra Wilford Chassent (32). Ray hated growing up on a farm, he's not a huge animal lover, and getting dirty while looking after cows and pigs was not something that he enjoyed. He did like climbing trees and riding on his dad's tractor, but he always wished he'd lived in a big city close to his friends. As soon as he could he left for a college in a big city, and studied law. He is now a practicing defense lawyer, and has created a great start for himself by working on high profile cases and winning most of the time. He met his wife at law school, and while it took them a while to warm up to each other (they were rivals for the top of the class) they soon figured out that they had deeper feelings for each other. He proposed after they'd taken their final exams, and, while not the huge romantic proposal she'd been hoping for, she said yes and they've now been married for five years. When his wife told him that she was pregnant he was over the moon, and although he was shocked when they found out it was twins he was even more excited to be having two babies at once. Ray adores being a dad and dotes on his twins, which has led to them being more than a little spoiled, but he and his wife make sure that they aren't brats and are always grateful for what they receive. He is hoping to have another child in the future, and can't wait to watch the twins grow as older siblings.

 

Sharon 'Ronnie' Elisabeth [Gruber] Garbline (27) is the wife of Raymond 'Ray' Quentin Garbline (27), and sister-in-law of Lea Gwendolyn Chassent (29) and two other sisters-in-law (29+). Ronnie grew up as an only child for most of her life, living in a posh penthouse in the middle of a city. When she was sixteen her parents had her younger sister, and then three years later her younger brother was born. It was a huge adjustment for her to become a big sister when she was practically an adult, and she felt like more of a mother than a sister to her younger siblings, but now that they are 11 and 8 they have more of a sibling-ly relationship. When Ronnie first met Ray she thought he was stuck up and entitled, but as she got to know him she found herself falling for his farm-boy charms. She was a little nervous when she found out that she was pregnant with twins, but they're definitely the little loves of her life, and she can't wait to have another little one running around their apartment. She'd also like to get a dog, but as they live in a third floor apartment with no garden it's not the best place for a dog at the moment.

 

Millicent 'Millie' Rebecca Garbline (3) is the daughter of Raymond 'Ray' Quentin Garbline (27) and Sharon 'Ronnie' Elisabeth [Gruber] Garbline (27), and niece of Lea Gwendolyn Chassent (29) and her husband Graham Ezra Wilford Chassent (32) and two other aunts (29+). Millie is sweet, caring, and loving, and she likes spending lots of time with her family. She also likes to paint and draw, and her drawings hang all around the Garbline's apartment. She has recently started attending nursery during the day, and she's found it easy to make friends and gets along well with most of the children in her nursery class. Millie gets on with her twin brother, but they have a lot of fights and arguments, and she likes to spend time alone after they fight.

 

Benedict 'Ben' Raymond Garbline (3) is the twin brother of Millicent 'Millie' Rebecca Garbline (3), son of Raymond 'Ray' Quentin Garbline (27) and Sharon 'Ronnie' Elisabeth [Gruber] Garbline (27), and nephew of Lea Gwendolyn Chassent (29) and her husband Graham Ezra Wilford Chassent (32) and two other aunts (29+). Ben is louder and more boisterous than his twin sister, and he likes to spend more time alone. He doesn't like going to nursery school, and throws a tantrum in the morning to try and stay home. He has only made one friend aside from his sister, a little boy who is loud like him, and they make a lot of mischief together. He has been fighting with Millie a lot recently, and spends lots of time in time out because of this.

They welcomed their only son, Sebastian, and that was that.

Sebastian was even the best man at Ray's wedding to Ronnie. Sebastian is a lawyer in his first year, practicing in his father's footsteps and starting to work his way up the cooperate later. Sebastian is gay and married to his husband, the pair have been dating for ten years, and married for four years even since Sebastian met him on a visit to the states when he was sixteen years old - his husband is a year his senior and works with music. Seven months ago they adopted a five month old baby boy in the U.S. in a closed adoption, He'd originally been named Danger Ripley Zeppelin Blue Smith but upon adopting him Sebastian and his husband changed his name to Alistair Lucas Blaine Smythe-Anderson [1] and he just celebrated his first birthday with his family.

 

Alistair Lucas Blaine Smythe-Anderson (formerly Danger Ripley Zeppelin Blue Smith) [1] is the adoptive son of Sebastian Etienne Lucan Smythe-Anderson (formerly Smythe) [26] and his husband [27], he was born to teenage parents who took care of him for three months before giving him up because they couldn't really handle being parents at fifteen years of age despite loving their little Danger, and two months after that he was adopted by Sebastian and his husband where he has been doted upon regularly and given lots of attention and love from them both, Alistair is a very happy, giggly tyke who's favorite color is green and he adores bowties and dinosaurs. His favorite snacks are red vines and grapes.

kaela "kae" bristol smith [16] and dominic "dom" christopher blue [17]

are the biological parents of alistair smythe-anderson, whom they named danger ripley zeppelin blue smith at birth. the couple took care of him for a few months before giving him up for adoption. they were very thankful when sebastian smythe-anderson adopted their son, as they were worried about him being even worse off in the system than he would've been with them. the couple started dating during eighth grade and got pregnant during their freshman year of high school. the pregnancy was, mostly, a disaster. they couldn't decide whether to abort or not, then they weren't sure how they'd manage to take care of their child as children themselves. they even broke up for a month and a half, leaving kae terrified and alone. before the birth, they got back together. after the adoption of alistair, the two broke up again as they felt they no longer had a reason to be together. a year later, dom reached out to kae and they ended up mending their broken relationship. the two are currently engaged, and plan to get married after kae's eighteenth birthday.

Maegan Harriet Maldano (16) [left] is the younger sister of Connor Julian Maldano (23). Maegan is happy-go-lucky a lot of the time, and she is always dancing around the Maldano house singing the latest song that is stuck in her head. She has recently had a bad time after her ex-boyfriend broke up with her; he was very controlling towards her and they were always arguing, but she misses the good times when they were happy and laughing. She was upset with Connor when he hit her ex's car, but she soon forgave him as she knew that he was just being a protective older brother. Since she was little she has been very close with Connor, and she confides everything in him. Now that he has moved out for college she misses him like crazy, and she makes sure to always be available for their bi-weekly skype calls. Maegan only has a couple of close friends at high school, she has known most of them since elementary school, and they get together on Friday afternoons to study and do homework. She is a very hard-working student, and plans to go to college to study physics. Her parents recently got a puppy, who they named Betsy.

jax thomas flint [17]

is the ex-boyfriend of meagan maldano, whose car connor maldano hit with his own after he and his younger sister had broken up. he is generally unliked for just being rude and selfish. he lives alone with his father, and thus has developed a false sense of entitlement after so many years of listening to his father's spew of hatred toward women, particularily jax's mother. he dropped out of high school midway through his junior year and now works with his dad, working on lawns in the nicer neighborhoods in their area. part of his decision to drop out was his breakup with meagan, as he was upset and embarrassed that he'd ruin a good thing that he had going.

Edie Wilhelmina [Flint] Cortez {25} is the cousin of Jax Thomas Flint {17} and the mother of Zara Penelope Cortez {1}. Edie's family never spent a lot of time with Jax's family when they were growing up. Her father has vastly different views to Jax and his father, and it's been the cause of many arguments which have led to them going long periods of time without speaking. Edie thinks that Jax's views on women are disgusting, and she refuses to let him be around her daughter in fear that he will make her feel awful about herself as he has done to her many times. She is glad that her father didn't instill such a hatred of women in her three brothers, and when she heard about how Jax treated Maegan she felt sorry for the poor girl. Edie is married to her high school sweetheart, and she is very happy with where her life is headed. Getting pregnant so soon into her marriage was unplanned, but now that her daughter is here Edie couldn't imagine not being a mom. She would like to have at least one more child, but not until Zara is at least three! Edie works as a teaching assistant in a kindergarten class, and she adores her job.

 

Zara Penelope Cortez {1} is the daughter of Edie Wilhelmina Cortez {25}. Zara loves to be around people, she is always happy and smiling when there is a crowd of people around her.

Arlo Quincy Flint [22] is the younger brother of Edie Wilhelmina Cortez (nee Flint) [25] and two other brothers, uncle of Zara Penelope Cortez [1]  via Edie and her husband, and cousin of Jax Thomas Flint [17]. Arlo is the youngest of is family, and has always been doted on by all of his siblings as his immediate family is very loving and caring. His father being German-American and his mother being Mexican-American there was a huge emphasis on family and closeness from his mother which is why it is a shame when his uncle and cousin Jax started to become embittered after his aunt left them. Arlo and Jax had been close when they were little being semi-close in age, but Arlo quickly distanced himself when Jax started to espouse women hating rhetoric and general things which Arlo never agreed with at all. Arlo gets along well with his older brothers, but he is closest to Edie of all his siblings and spends a lot of time with her and Zara. Arlo and Edie meet for lunch every Wednesday and take Zara to a music class together every Thursday morning, not to mention the family dinner they all have at their parents house every Sunday.  Currently, Arlo is a senior at university and he in majoring in architecture and design with the intent to work on both housing, but also public works such as designing parks, he adores both ideas. Arlo lives in an apartment with three roommates whom he met in his school's soccer intramural club during freshman year and they've been living together for the last three years and are very close, like family, the three have even come over many times to the Flint's Sunday dinners. Arlo is gay and has never had an issue with it, when he came out his family was extremely supportive and Arlo has recently been going out on a few dates with a guy in a political science class he's been taking and Arlo really likes him and has been thinking of asking him to officially be boyfriends and be exclusive.

hugo jasper coscka [22] is the roommate of arlo quincy flint [22] at University. he absolutely adores seeing edie cortez-(flint), zara flint and others at the flint dinners he often goes to with arlo. and the flints love him, too. of arlo's plus three, hugo is definitely the loudest, and arguably most charming. he loves children, so seeing zara is a pleasure because he's an only child and has no close cousins, so he doesn't see very many babies. at college, he's on a scholarship for lacrosse, but he also plays basketball. he's currently studying family and consumer sciences, with an emphasis in physical health and nutrition. he loves school, mostly because it got him out of his small town into a more bustling city. he's big into the nightlife of going to universities, and he's very thankful for the friends he's made in his roommates and peers.
