Bryon was a successful business man when he met Loretta. The two quickly fell in love and married. Bryon was 23 and Loretta was only 21. A year later, they gave birth to their first daughter, Tatiana Rose. Two years later, Tatiana was joined by little sister Shoshana Brooke.
But ten years into their marriage, things were not going well. The couple was constantly fighting and had been on and off for years now. They divorced soon after and Loretta got primary custody of the girls. Bryon was to take them every other weekend but after about two months, they were hardly sticking to the plan.
Down in the dumps, Bryon moved across town to a small apartment that he could more easily afford. He missed his girls and the early days of his marriage with Loretta.
He began to eat at the local diner every night to avoid preparing food for himself. One night, he stayed particularly late. The young new waitress noticed the sad man sitting by himself and decided to engage in a conversation with him. She introduced herself as Celia and before he knew it, Bryon was sharing his life story with her. They talked long past closing time until the manager kicked them out. Not wanting to end their conversation and the spark that had ignited between them, Bryon invited Celia to come back to his apartment with him. One thing led to another and Bryon woke up with Celia next to him in bed.
Celia left the next morning not sure what would happen next. She waited that evening for Bryon to return to the diner, but he never showed up. Each night she would wait, hoping in the back of her mind that he would come back. Celia soon began to feel ill and discovered she was pregnant. Frightened and scared, she decided to keep the baby despite the circumstances.
Bryon wanted to go back to the diner, but he couldn’t make himself. He didn’t want to fall in love (Though he already had but wouldn’t admit it to himself) and have his heart broken again. But about 6 months later, he found himself at the diner, shocked to find a pregnant Celia as his waitress.
Embarrassed, Celia turned to leave to ask if another waitress would take the job, but Bryon grabbed her arm. Awkwardly, he discovered that Celia was indeed carrying his child. On a whim, he proposed and they were married a month later in a small ceremony. Celia gave birth to their first child together three weeks early, a baby girl who they named Chiara Hope.
When Chiara was two years old, Bryon received the unexpected news that his ex-wife had died in car crash, leaving the two girls in his care. Tatiana and Shoshana moved into to live with their father, their new mother, and half sister.

Tatiana has always been very headstrong and opinionated. When her mother died and she had to go live with Bryon, she was very angry and upset and felt very alone. In the past two years, she’s been opening up to Celia and becoming more adjusted to the situation, but she still has a long way to go and is currently seeing a counselor.
Tatiana loves to read and write. She is happiest when she has a book or a notepad to scribble down poetry or short stories.
DD: Shoshana Brooke (11)

Shoshana is very loud and boisterous. Like her sister, she has an opinion about everything. But unlike her sister, she was quite content to go live with her father and loves Celia and her little siblings, though she still misses her real mother very much.
Shoshana is into cheerleading and singing and does very well at both.

Chiara is very laid back and quiet. She loves it when Shoshana or one of her parents read to her. She is content to play barbies or princesses with Shoshana or just by herself for hours.
