Disclaimer: Not my idea! I just played the other game (Remy Hadley's) and thought it was super fun! Just made some slight changes. (possibility for death, less chance of children) Adjust anything you need. If it says SO and you're single, it means you or a friend/sibling. If it says child and you either don't have a child or don't have one that's old enough, it means a friend or you. 

 

For this CAF, you'll need this dice: https://dice.virtuwo...t/?sides=9&nr=4

 

Each year, you roll the die once. The first number is the category, the second is the specific action. Two actions happen a year, hence the two sets of die. 

 

There is a possibility for someone in your household to die, just to make the game more realistic. However, it's not likely. You play for 20 years.

 

 

 (1) PURCHASES

1.1: You buy a new car! What model is it? Color? Seats? 

1.2: You buy a brand new house in a whole new country! What country is it? Bedrooms? Bathrooms? 

1.3: You buy a brand new house a few miles away from your home! Why did you move? Bedrooms? Bathrooms? 

1.4: You buy a smaller home! Why? Bedrooms? Bathrooms? 

1.5: You buy a bigger home! Why? Bedrooms? Bathrooms? 

1.6: You buy a home in a different state/province/region! Why did you move? Bedrooms? Bathrooms? 

1.7: One of your children (if old enough) buy their own home! Where?  Bedrooms? Bathrooms? 

1.8: You buy an extension for your home! Why? What is it? 

1.9: You buy all new furniture for a room in your home! Which room? 

 

 (2) RELATIONSHIP

1.1: You meet a new person! If you are married already, do you cheat? If you are single, do you further investigate the connection? 

1.2: You and SO decide to get married/renew vows! What's the theme? Who do you invite? 

1.3: You and SO get in a big fight. Do you continue the relationship? 

1.4: Your child (if old enough) gets a SO! Do you like him/her? 

1.5: Your child (if old enough) is pregnant! Do you help her? 

1.6: You and SO decide to go on a vacation, just the two of you. Where do you go?

1.7: Your SO cheats! Do you part ways? Do you make up? 

1.8: You get in an argument with SO's family! How do you make it work? 

1.9: You get someone in your family a big gift! Who gets it? What is it? 

 

 (3) CHILDREN (If any of the four dice you roll are the same number, you have a miscarriage)

I always love a good challenge to see how I can make random events connect well enough to make a coherent story. I swear I got home extension, new job, and staycation like a hundred times so I challenged myself to include some repetition realistically into this family. I hope this entertains someone, as I had fun composing this story   :)

xxxx

 

Year 1 

At age 25, Della wasn't quite sure what she wanted in life, but she did know she loved animals. She had been pet sitting for families in her local area since she was 13-years-old, so when her parents helped her buy her first house, the first thing she did was employ the help of her two best friends, Eliza and Brennan, and her boyfriend, Adrian, to help her build an extension onto the house she could use to house animals and begin her small in-home pet sitting business. 

 

Della had plans to ask Adrian to move in with her and help run the pet business, but shortly before she did, she discovered he had been unfaithful. When confronting him about it, his apologies were weak, and she knew that he had already moved on. With her good friends, Eliza and Brennan, and her loyal chocolate lab mix, Bowie, by her side, Della was determined to move on as well, and she cut Adrian out of her life and held her head high as she hoped for a brighter future. 

 

Year 2

Unhinged and still reeling from her breakup, Della found herself barreling through a series of one-night stands. They quickly came to a halt, however, the morning she found herself holding a positive pregnancy test in her hands. Eliza and Brennan, best friends extraordinaire, were extremely supportive and even helped her expand her home kennel during her pregnancy to accommodate more pets so her business could sustain more clients. 

 

At only 28 weeks pregnant, however, Della went into premature labor and gave birth to her daughter, Beatrix Rose, twelve weeks early. She was a tiny thing and proved to be a fighter, but little Bea had complications with her heart and was put on a waiting list for a transplant. 

 

Year 3

Just shy of Bea's first birthday, Della's daughter became the recipient of a new heart and received a heart transplant. She recovered well from the surgery and continued to grow stronger each day. 

 

Bowie, her chocolate lab mix, was especially gentle and sweet as Bea recovered. He always made Bea laugh and was never far from her side. Della decided to write and illustrate a children's book portraying their adorable friendship, and she donated the proceeds to provide medical aid and research for other premature babies.

 

Year 4

Though life had been far from easy since Della had moved out on her own, her pet business was thriving. Not only did she provide care for clients who were out of town, but she had begun caring for pets who needed enrichment while their owners were at work during the day. Eliza and Brennan, now engaged, worked as full time employees for Della, and Bea loved helping out with the various pets that came through their doors. 

 

Though Bea's health had remained stable ever since her transplant, Della had a scare with a malignant mole on her arm. The doctors were able to remove it and assure her that the cancer hadn't spread, though Della would now need to take extra care with her amount of sun exposure.

 

Year 5

Bea, now three years old, was growing fast and constantly curious. It was her curiosity that gave her a broken arm and Della quite a scare, when one day she climbed up on top of a dog crate and landed on the concrete floor below. She sported a lime green cast that would forever be immortalized in Eliza and Brennan's wedding photos, in which Bea was their flower girl. 

 

With the pet care business steady, Della decided to take courses on pet grooming and dog training to further expand the options her business offered. 

 

Year 6

To establish her new found skills with grooming and training, Della took a part time job at a local pet store, leaving Eliza and Brennan to take more responsibility in the pet care business. 

 

While working at the pet store, she became involved in volunteering at a local animal shelter as well, and only one week into working there, a skinny pitbull mix in need of a lot of love stole her heart, so Ringo came to live in the Calloway home. 

 

Year 7

Volunteering at the animal impacted Della greatly, so along with boarding animals in her home, she decided to start a small non-profit rescue organization that helped find homes for dogs who were out of options. Opening her heart and home to all these new dogs was very rewarding, and Bea loved helping each dog feel loved during their stay. 

 

Sometime later, Eliza and Brennan rescued two malnourished and injured cats who had been locked in a basement. One cat's medical issues were too great and he did not survive, but his sister did and Julep found her permanent home at the Calloway residence as she healed from her trauma and injuries.

 

Year 8

Della, feeling as though she had gained enough experience and needed more time to devote to her pet care business and rescue, quit her job at the pet store. However, she used the time she now spent at home, though always caring for pets in her spare moments, to begin to write and illustrate children's books with topics that addressed animal care and kindness.

 

Feeling like she needed some spontaneity in her life, Della got a nose stud, which six-year-old Bea announced that she absolutely loved and would be getting one as soon as she was older. 

 

Year 9

With the business and rescue thriving, Della decided it was time to move to a larger location. She sold the house, and with some help from Eliza and Brennan, they purchased a larger house with more space to devote to the animals. Della purchased all new furniture, beds, equipment, and toys to furnish the kennel area of her home.

 

However, shortly after they had moved locations, Bowie, advanced in years, passed away. Della changed her business and rescue name to Bowie's Buddies in honor of the dog who had helped her start it all.

 

Year 10

With so many pets and responsibilities that kept them tied to home, it was hard to find time for a vacation, so Della and Bea (and often joined by Eliza and Brennan) became masters of the "staycation." They had movie marathons, completed complex puzzles, delved into various crafty endeavors, and even went camping in the woods near their house. 

 

Bea, age eight, had decided she wanted to be a vegetarian to stand up for animal rights, so Della joined her and found the diet rewarding and healthy for the both of them.

 

Year 11

It was another year of "staycations" for the Calloway girls as the business and rescue kept them tied to home. Della's mother suffered from a sudden heart attack, and Della was glad to be close by to her parents so she could help in her mother's recovery. 

 

Her siblings lives thrived as well. There were nieces and nephews, engagements and marriages, and one of Della's younger siblings, after years of struggling with their gender identity, finally came out as non-binary and the family began to call them Pip.

 

Year 12

Once again, Della found herself taking classes, but this time it was a vet tech course so that she could begin to officially offer medical aid to the pets they cared for. 

 

Eliza and Brennan announced they were pregnant, and soon discovered they were having twins. Eliza's pregnancy was high risk, so the "staycations" continued as they found activities for Eliza to participate in that would be not be strenuous. 

 

Year 13

Several months into Eliza's pregnancy, the unthinkable happened. Eliza and Brennan were in a terrible car crash and neither survived, though the doctors were able to save their tiny twins via c-section. The twins spent many weeks in the NICU, a place Della had become all too familiar with when Bea had first been born. 

 

Della and Bea were heartbroken upon the deaths of their dearest friends and went everyday to visit the babies in the NICU. Eliza and Brennan did not have family close by or on good terms, so their will named Della the guardian of the twins, so Della and Bea officially welcomed Eliza Juliet and Brennan Jude into their family.

 

Year 14

Life was nearly always hectic in the Calloway household. Della's siblings - Theo, Clarry, and Pip - helped as much as they could with care for Bea and the twins as Della struggled to keep the rescue and business afloat in the absence of her dearest friends and colleagues. 

 

One afternoon, a man stopped by the rescue with an injured hedgehog he had found near his yard. He had heard of Della's rescue and knew she also had some medical background. Not sure if he should take the hedgehog to a vet, he had decided to consult Della instead. It turned out the hedgehog needed one of her legs amputated, and Della had the right connections to find a vet who agreed to help. That was how Della met Ezra and acquired a hedgehog as a pet for Bea, whom she named Pansy

 

Year 15

Ezra turned out to have an affinity for animals, and since he had been between jobs, he found himself working for Della. Della, finding herself feeling young and adventurous, especially with the sparks she felt in the air whenever she was around Ezra, decided to dye her graying hair. 

 

Bea had been so brave through all the sudden life changes, and when she turned 13, Della decided to get Bea her own puppy, an inquisitive beagle mix whom Bea named Clover

 

Year 16

It turned out that dyeing her hair was too much effort and work amongst the busyness of life, so Della let her hair go gray. Shortly after, she began to officially date Ezra, who didn't mind a bit what color hair she had. 

 

Year 17

The house Della had run her business out of for many years now was large, but the yard space was not, and with much deliberation, she decided to move her family and business to Ezra's house which was slightly smaller but had copious amounts of land. They planned to fence off a large enclosure to give the dogs plenty of space to run and play. 

 

Bea, age 15, was feeling moody and forgotten after moving in with Ezra and his 13-year-old son Rowan. To cheer her up, Della and Bea took turns dyeing each other's hair - fuchsia for Della and lime green for Bea. 

 

Year 18

Della was shocked to find herself pregnant again, especially at age 42, but Ezra assured her that he was happy to see their eclectic family growing. However, Della had a miscarriage early on in the pregnancy. 

 

Bea was growing up faster than Della could keep up with, and much to Della's (and Bea's) shock, Ezra purchased Bea a used car for her 16th birthday. Della was not pleased at the large purchase at first, but as Ezra began to give Bea driving lessons and the two began to bond, Della conceded. 

 

Year 19

Ezra's house had been nice for Bowie's Buddies in terms of land and location, but the house was beginning to feel cramped with four growing kids and innumerable pets passing through. 

 

Della's mother had another heart attack, and unfortunately she did not survive. Her father moved to a smaller house and insisted on giving Della a portion of the profit he had made on the sale of his home, encouraging her to find an official location for Bowie's Buddies. He persuaded her only after convincing her that it was what her mother would have wanted. 

 

So Della purchased an old warehouse with plenty of yard space and got to work creating a permanent location for Bowie's Buddies. Ezra chose to stay home with the kids, and Della hired several new employees. 

 

Year 20

Life finally began to settle for the Calloway-Benedict family. Bea, at 18, started college and began a course of study to become a veterinarian. Ezra's son, Roe, age 15, started high school, and the twins, Elle and Bren, age 7, were always happy to lend a hand at Bowie's Buddies, being always helpful and kindhearted like their parents before them. The family kept one of the rescue dogs they became particularly attached to, a bulldog they named Jagger, and they acquired a rabbit named ZuZu that one of Bea's college friends could not keep in the dorms and needed to re-home.

 

And of course, there would always be the possibility of many more furry friends finding their way into the loving arms of the Calloway-Benedict family. 

 

The End :)

Finn and Prue

 

 

2021

Finn Shine and Prue Hooker have recently gotten married and are beginning their lives as a newlywed couple. They've just moved in together and are in the process of remodeling their ancient townhouse. Prue has a cat, Muenster, whom she's had since graduating college in 2014. Finn was incredibly stressed out with his job for a portion of the year, but he was very relieved when he heard news that he'd gotten a well-deserved promotion. Both himself and Prue was exceptionally happy, as it couldn't have been timed better. Finn and Prue decided to use some of their new earnings to get away from the stress at home for a weekend. It seemed to end quickly, though it was enjoyed.

 

2022

It had been almost a year since their move and renovations were almost finished. Finn and Prue had everything they'd ever wanted in a home- a gorgeous yard, a large kitchen, a reading nook, and much more! Finn and Prue were also doing amazing in the workplace, as Finn adjusted well to his new job, and Prue was doing well at work, with the exception of her eyesight. As a physician, she knew that bad eyesight should be checked out immediately so that the damage doesn't get worse. She was put on the waiting list at an ophthalmology clinic, and only a few weeks later checked out. Sure enough, she needed glasses. Prue could have had another mindset about this, but she took this as an opportunity to freshen her appearance and she felt that her glasses gave her a new sense of professionality.

In addition to this big change, Finn welcomed a new colleague to his job. Her name was Paule Edwyna Nicodemo, and she was his new partner. She had just graduated college and was a quirky, caring woman. The pair grew close at work, and their professional relationship eventually became something more- a friendship, which eventually became a romantic relationship. The pair were secretly together for months, until one day, when Prue found out. She confronted Finn, and he apologized, but she couldn't take it, so they split temporarily.

 

2023

After a long six months apart, Finn and Prue reconciled. Prue was seriously affected by Finn's actions and she developed trust issues with him and her friends and family. As a second apology, Finn surprised Prue with a second cat. She was a sweet Persian kitten, and she loved being around Muenster. She named the little kitten, Stellaluna. They were truly obsessed, and so was Muenster. Prue took this as a reason to finally begin trusting Finn again. It was a good new beginning to this next chapter of their lives.

After their make-up, Finn and Prue receive the unexpected news that they are pregnant! They were not exactly ready to bring the child into the world at the time being, but eventually warmed up to the idea of becoming parents. Sadly, though, their time as parents was cut short as they had a miscarriage at 11 weeks gestation.

 

2024

After the loss of their precious baby, both Finn and Prue fell into deep states of depression. After a while, Prue began herself on the keto diet, hoping to lose some weight and make her feel a bit better about herself. She ended up losing a good amount of weight by the end of her journey, and began feeling much happier in general.

In hopes of cheering the family up, Finn and Prue adopted a sweet rabbit. They feel good caring for some one new, like they would be doing with a child right about now. They name their new pet Elvis, and he is a great addition to the Shine family.

 

2025

Finn and Prue had a great start to their year, being productive at work and at home, implementing new workouts to their daily lives, and creating new, efficient routines to help keep themselves on track. Everything was going well until one day Finn got a devastating call from his mom that his older sister, Anna Ayelet Cantu, was killed from an overdose, leaving behind her three children, Chiara Murielle Cantu (14; born 07/04/2011), Orli Cierra Cantu (11; born 07/06/2014), and Tanner Keld Cantu (3; born 02/22/2022). His mom said that she had left him and Prue her kids, and that they should consider adopting them. After thinking long and hard about the subject, Finn and Prue made the final decision to adopt their nieces and nephew. It was a tough adjustment, but over time, everyone got used to it, and it became their new normal.  With all the craziness going on, Finn leaves his job to be a stay-at-home parent to the kids. It is a big factor in helping them get what they need in this uncertain and difficult time for them.

 

2026

After a crazy last year, the world finally begins to slow down. Finn returns to work, and soon enough, everyone is back into their routine. Everything is going great until Prue finds out that Finn cheated with Paule again. She was incredibly disappointed and mad at Finn. She couldn't believe he'd do it again after finally trusting him. To make matters worse, they had the kids now, and Prue did not think that his behavior was ever acceptable, but especially now that they were parents. Although Finn apologized and said it would never happen again, Prue filed for a divorce. The judge allowed split custody of the kids, so they'd stay with Prue for the most part, but see Finn every other weekend. To try to relax and break away from the new, new normal, Prue took Chiara, Orli, and Tanner to a local waterpark for the day. The kids had the time of their lives, and Prue tried to have fun, but her mind was too caught up in all that had been going on.

 

2027

Prue began dating a man named Branden Iairos Eccleston (44; born 04/20/1983). He has two kids- Orpha Conchobhar Eccleston (24; born 10/09/2003) & Ammiel Bertrando Eccleston (22; 11/11/2005). They really hit it off. Orpha and Ammiel were great babysitters to the kids, and overall great siblings. They knew just how to help and care for their siblings, even when not needed. Branden was also a great father figure to the kids, though Finn was still in their lives. Prue and Branden were not planning on having any children, as Prue thought she was unable to carry a baby to term, but they unexpectedly got pregnant! It was a shock, and they certainly were surprised, but they were grateful and excited by the time their baby came. It's a boy! His name is Ricardo Phelix Eccleston and he was born on 08/21/2027. Ricardo has dark brown skin, curly dark brown hair, & dark brown eyes. He is built narrow, short, & thin. To add on to the crazy few years they've been having, Chiara gets her wisdom teeth removed and needs almost-constant medical help regarding it.

 

2028

At the very beginning of the year, Prue and Branden find out that they are going to be parents again and are thrilled! Sadly, though, their little girl passes away in utero and is stillborn. She was born on 04/05/2028 and her name is Yami Eccleston.

Branden dyes his hair blue to try to cheer the family up. It kind of works, as everyone is so surprised that he'd do such a thing. The family is still overcome with grief though, and it isn't easy for everyone to keep going, especially with all the loss they've had to endure in the past few years. But they do it anyway.

 

2029

The family moved on after Yami's passing, but still remember her in their day-to-day life. Prue is still devastated that she has difficulty carrying her babies to term when she discovers that she is pregnant. She tells Branden, and both of them are more terrified of loss than happy of gain. Eventually, though, the pregnancy reaches a point when the kids get told. Later on, their rainbow baby girl, Astra Nitza Yami Eccleston is born on 07/30/2029. She has dark brown skin, curly black hair, & hazel eyes. She is built broad, thin, & short.

In addition to the amazing baby born this year, Prue got a raise which was well-deserved and appreciated!

 

2030

The craziness doesn't end for the Hooker-Eccleston family! Though, at least, this time it is happy. Orpha moves out to her own apartment about ten minutes away from the rest of the family. She's really excited to begin being more independent in her adult life. Her apartment has one bedroom, a living area, a kitchenette, and a bathroom. It suits Orpha's needs perfectly and she was able to purchase it all on her own!

After Prue's raise, they were able to save up for another waterpark trip! Since the kids loved it so much last time, they had to return for even more fun! This time the younger kids could participate and Prue wasn't so stressed. It was a very fun and memorable family vacation.

 

2031

After a long 12 years as a physician, Prue was excited to try something new. After going back to school for a bit, she was able to land a job as a software developer at a well-known company. She loves it so far and is having a great time in her new career path.

After Prue took the leap, Branden wanted to show how proud he was of her. As a surprise, he adopted a yellow lab puppy and gave it to her. She (and the whole family) were over the moon with excitement. Their new little pup is called Sunshine.

 

2032

Orpha got married this year! Her husband is named Daniel "Dan" Macaiah Pape. He is 25 and was born on April 28, 2007. He is broad, muscular, & short. He has medium brown skin, wavy blonde hair, & green eyes. They had a beautiful wedding on a country field in Tennessee. Branden was so proud to walk his little girl down the aisle on her special day. They should be moving in together in no time!

In other, far less exciting news, Prue took on a second job as a business analyst. She works part-time, and is hoping to pay off her student loans!

Eowyn Antonetta Washington: https://i.pinimg.com...8f5cf73.png-Age 17

 

Hayes Wood: https://i.pinimg.com...d514bcbdad.jpg- Age 18

 

Eowyn Washington and Hayes Wood are high school students living with their parents and their siblings. Eowyn is witty and smart, but keeps her mouth shut most of the time. Hayes Wood is loud, cocky, and a basketball superstar. The two feel as if they can't let their guard down with anyone but the other, despite their personalities appearing much too different at first glance. Eowyn's dream is to become a bestselling author, and Hayes doesn't really have a good sense of his future outside of TikTok and basketball.

 

Year 1: Eowyn and Hayes are just starting to form a deeper relationship when Eowyn becomes ill and Hayes fears the worst. Next thing you know, Hayes's parents have thrown him out for getting Eowyn pregnant. Eowyn has six siblings, and her family isn't wealthy, so they aren't thrilled with another mouth to feed. When Eowyn finds out that Hayes has to leave home, she takes her savings from working at a fast food chain for a few months over the summer and leaves her home as well to go live with him. They purchase together a dirty and crampt apartment in a bad neighborhood, and try to make due. But as Eowyn's due date approaches, the couple panics. Where will the baby sleep? How will they pay the hospital bills? Anxiety and panic surrounds the birth, not including the shame Eowyn has going to school and seeing her writing dream going down the drain. But at last, a son is born to the young couple. Eowyn names him Soren Sailor, and Hayes agrees it's a fine name for a son. Soren sleeps in an open drawer in the apartment, and Eowyn has to quit school, her safe haven, to stay home with the child. Although Soren has made her dream impossible and ruined her family life, she still loves her son. Hayes 18, Eowyn 17, Soren 0

Year 2: Eowyn decides to scrap her life-long pursuit of being a writer and changes her aspiration to traveling the world. But unfortunately, they were relying on Hayes's job as a janitor to sustain their family, and international travel just didn't fit the budget. Hayes tried to support his girlfriend by taking their young family to a hotel a few miles away and staying for one night, but it didn't quench her hunger for exploration. Then, Hayes manages to get a job offer for a manager at the mall he's a janitor for, and the income doubles. For their 2nd anniversary of being together, he takes her on a surprise vacation for a weekend, leaving Soren with a babysitter and taking her to a hotel. They spend two nights there, and get a spa treatment. Eowyn is thrilled by how supportive her boyfriend is. Hayes 19, Eowyn 18, Soren 1

 

Year 3: Eowyn decides to finish high school a year late, because she values her education so much. It's a small victory for her, but it's enough to keep her happy with her boyfriend and Soren. With Eowyn finished with high school, she gets a job as an editor for children's books. She loves working on stories, but she is disappointed that they're never her own. Soren is a happy boy, hyper and sweet, and he often gets lonely with his parents working and just the daycare employees half watching him. Just as things are starting to look up for the owners of the dingy apartment, Eowyn gets another positive pregnancy test and her world turns upside down. The apartment has just one queen sized cot, and Soren had slept in a drawer until they fit a toddler blow up mattress under the sink for him. There was no space for a new baby, not to mention how young they were. Reece Rembrandt was born into nothing but a bit of love and admiration from his older brother and frustration from his parents. Hayes 20, Eowyn 19, Soren 2, Reece 0

Year 4: Eowyn gets promoted to chief editor at her company, an accomplishment that not only is gratifying for her, but also for their bank account. With almost triple the amount of money coming in, and her children just young enough to not cost anything on a flight, Eowyn and Hayes think it's time for their first international vacation: to Eowyn's grandmother in Ireland. It's a gamble, given that the rest of her family didn't appreciate the children she had, but Eowyn was very close with her grandmother when she left Ireland at age 4, so she believes her grandmother may take pity on her and let her stay with her during the duration of their trip: 3 days. The trip was incredible! Eowyn was thrilled to get to see where she grew up again, and her grandmother received her grandchildren well. Soren and Reece loved the pretty sights and vast green pastures to play in, and the vacation was a huge success. Eowyn had never been happier. Hayes 21, Eowyn 20, Soren 3, Reece 1

 

Year 5: After the great adventure last year, Eowyn was determined to put enough money aside for another one this year, but maybe just domestic. She decided that Hayes and her would have a blast alone, so she got plane tickets, a babysitter, and flew to the busy city of Chicago, where she spent hours walking and window-shopping with Hayes, reviving and refreshing their relationship. They spent the weekend there, bonding without their sons in the way, and came back much happier to take on parenting. In December, the boys were staying with a friend of Hayes's for a sleepover, and the couple figured they'd take advantage. They drove for 5 hours, listening to music, talking, and admiring the Christmas lights before returning back home. Year 5 was a beautiful year for Eowyn and Hayes's relationship. Hayes 22, Eowyn 21, Soren 4, Reece 2

 

Year 6: Hayes surprises Eowyn on a Saturday off with a packed car and two ready boys, and the four set off on a weekend long road trip that tours Montana. Towards the end, Eowyn takes a nap and sees that her boys and husband are gone when she wakes up. Panicked, she rushes through the national park they've parked their car in and rush along the trail. At the end, she sees Hayes with her sons, all of them on one knee. Hayes proposes, and Eowyn is elated. They plan their romantic yet small wedding in a park near their home, and only invite a handful of people, less than a dozen, because both of their families didn't approve of them. After the ceremony, Hayes and Eowyn are even more enthralled with each other. Hayes 23, Eowyn 22 Soren 5, Reece 3

 

Year 7: Unsurprisingly, a studio apartment is not fit for a family of four. But instead of moving, Hayes builds himself an extension for a bedroom for their two boys. It's about 6x3 feet, just enough space for a bunk bed and some toys for Soren and Reece. The boys are thrilled to have their own space, and Hayes and Eowyn are happy to have some privacy at times. Married with enough room and enough money, Hayes and Eowyn are finally happy. And then disaster strikes. Hayes begins loosing weight at an alarming speed, and soon goes to the doctor. After some tests are run, it's determined that Hayes has a form of stomach cancer. Eowyn is horrified, and Hayes doesn't want to tell his sons. Thankfully, they never have to. Hayes recovers quickly after a few short rounds of chemo, and he's monitored closely after.  Hayes 24, Eowyn 23, Soren 6, Reece 4

 

Year 8: After renovating a room for the boys, the family decides to get all new bedding, mattress, end tables etc. for the master bedroom in the small studio apartment. The home looked modern and refreshed after the makeover. Meanwhile, the boys are forming personalities of their own. Soren is a people pleaser, social, wild, and playful, while Reece is artsy and creative. Soren grew a whole foot this year before he entered 2nd grade!  Hayes 25, Eowyn 24, Soren 7, Reece 5

 

Year 9: Although the couple puts a lot of work into their apartment, it's obvious with Soren's recent growth spurt that the boys are outgrowing the small extension. The family packs their bags and moves to New Jersey, where they purchase a nice family home with 3 bedrooms, perfect for their little family. It's there that Eowyn becomes pregnant with her third child with Hayes, and the couple is anxious but happy to welcome another baby. As Eowyn approaches her due date, they find out that it's a baby girl, much to Eowyn and Hayes's delight. When their daughter is born, the couple christens her Fiona Pearl, and they put her in the lovely third room decorated with strands of pink lace, perfect and delicate just like their new baby girl.

Year 10: Hayes decides to dye his hair a lighter brown, as he thinks lighter looks nice. However, the biggest news of the year is Eowyn becoming pregnant once again, this time to twin boys! She's nervous to have twins, and even more surprised that she's going to be a mom of 5 before her 26th birthday. Either way, they try to cram more cribs into the third bedroom, with Soren and Reece sharing and Fiona about to get a couple additions to her bedroom. Later in the year, Eowyn gives birth to two baby boys, Finnian Stanford, who was healthy, and Rainer George, who has down syndrome. Although these new children make Eowyn's career impossible, Eowyn is still a gracious and loving mother. Hayes 27, Eowyn 26, Soren 9, Reece 7, Fiona 1, Finnian 0, Rainer 0

Year 11: Eowyn finally reaches her dream! Soren and Reece are out of the house, and Finn, Fiona, and Rainer take naps for hours during the day. At this time, Eowyn has been squeezing in time to write a romance novel, which she's submitted to a publisher. Her work was read and published, and Eowyn was very proud of her ability to adapt to her situation! To celebrate the novel, called Eleanor and Humphrey, Hayes decides to surprise her by adopting a kitten called Eleanor from the local shelter in Jersey. As a cat lover, Eowyn is elated to at last have a kitty of her own.  Hayes 28, Eowyn 27, Soren 10, Reece 8, Fiona 2, Finnian 1, Rainer 1, Eleanor 0

 

Year 12: Eowyn receives word that her eldest brother, Emrys, has met and married a woman called Rachel early last year. Although Eowyn is happy for him, she's also hurt by his lack of consideration to tell her the news. Soren has turned 10, and for turning double digits, Hayes took him to the pet store and let his son pick out any animal that costed less than $20, and Soren picked out an adorable fluffy white rabbit, whom he dubbed Hercules. Soren adores Hercules, and he's a new member of the family. Hayes 29, Eowyn 28, Soren 11, Reece 9, Fiona 3, Finnian 2, Rainer 2, Eleanor 1, Hercules 0 

 

Year 13: A three bedroom home is hardly suitable for a family of 10, so the family decides to move to Iowa, into a quiet, 5 bedroom home. The master was gray with beaded jewels on the decor. Soren's room is blue and green stripes, with a twin bed in the corner and glow-in-the-dark stars speckling the ceiling. Reece's room consists of a baby blue paint, a few comfy chairs, a small bed, and bear wall decals and stuffed toys littering the floor. Fiona's resembles that of a princess, pink crowns and drapes of lace swaddling the toddler bed in the middle. Finnian's room is covered with Thomas the Train from top to bottom, with even his bed including a pull-out train table. Rainer's room is a bright yellow, with rubber ducks scattered on every surface and a white framed toddler mattress in the corner with soft sheets. But as always with the family, something must go ary in their time of good fortune. This time, it was when Eowyn came home with the kids from a book signing early and walked in on Hayes with another woman. Even though parting ways would make her look bad, as the young single mother with 5 children, she told him clearly that she wouldn't tolerate that behavior. She told him that she would show their daughter to not let men walk all over her, and to stand up for your own respect. Hence, Eowyn booted Hayes from the family, despite his many insincere apologies. The children, Reece in particular, are shattered by the sudden split, but learn to respect their mother's decision. Eowyn 29, Soren 12, Reece 10, Fiona 4, Finnian 3, Rainer 3, Eleanor 2, Hercules 1

 

Year 14: Eowyn has planned another huge international vacation to Ireland. She has a whole other book written and submitted to the publisher, and is certain the book will be adored. A fantasy novel entitled "The loss of Svante," Eowyn is almost positive the book is going to make her millions. But The Loss of Svante is swiftly rejected by the publisher, breaking Eowyn's heart and the funding for Ireland. So Eowyn is forced to instead take her children to a nearby hotel for two nights to fulfill her promise of a vacation, but is truly depressed by the rejection. However, she continues to try other publishing companies to see if her novel at least has potential. Eowyn 30, Soren 13, Reece 11, Fiona 5, Finnian 4, Rainer 4, Eleanor 3, Hercules 2

 

Year 15: Eowyn finally gets her novel published, giving her enough money to take her family to Ireland. In Ireland, they stay for a week with Eowyn's grandmother, who is pleased to see her grandchildren again. On day two of the dream vacation, Eowyn begins to feel lightheaded, and is rushed to the hospital by her grandmother and eldest son, and it's discovered that Eowyn had a heart attack. Although she's fine and discharged from the hospital by day four, it's still a scare for her children and grandmother.  Eowyn 31, Soren 14, Reece 12, Fiona 6, Finnian 5, Rainer 5, Eleanor 4, Hercules 3

 

Year 16: Eowyn visits Ireland with her 5 children again, with the visits becoming an annual occurrence. Her children love Ireland and their great-grandmother even more than they love Iowa. By the time the family gets to Ireland, they receive some sad news from their grandmother: Eowyn's mother has died without ever meeting her grandchildren or apologizing for throwing her young daughter out. Even though Eowyn has some regrets, she tries to enjoy the short visit anyway, and consoles her hurting grandmother. Eowyn 32, Soren 15, Reece 13, Fiona 7, Finnian 6, Rainer 6, Eleanor 5, Hercules 4

 

Year 17: Eowyn takes a short vacation from novel writing to stay at home with her kids while The Loss of Svante brings in more money. Meanwhile, she learns more and more about the personalities of each of her children. Soren is a people pleaser, and is very social. He takes after his father in that he loves to play sports, particularly basketball. Reece is definitely more of a sensitive and sweet kid, shier and more academic. Fiona is dainty and sweet, who adores her older brothers and loves taking on a leadership role. Finnian looks up to Reece quite a lot, being his polar opposite: loud, impulsive, and hyper. Rainer is an artsy type who keeps to himself. Eowyn 33, Soren 16, Reece 14, Fiona 8, Finnian 7, Rainer 7, Eleanor 6, Hercules 5

 

Year 18: Soren gets his first girlfriend, Alexa, a popular girl in his geometry class. Eowyn doesn't really like her, as she doesn't seem very kind or bright, two qualities that Eowyn idealizes in a partner, but she respects Soren's decision. To try and get to know Lexi better, Eowyn takes her and the rest of the family on a road trip for a couple days, and discovers that despite being very high-maintenance, Lexi isn't too mean to her other children. Eowyn 34, Soren 17, Reece 15, Fiona 9, Finnian 8, Rainer 8, Eleanor 7, Hercules 6

 

Year 19: Eowyn gets Soren a car for his 18th birthday, when him and Alexa leave for college. Soren is extremely grateful, and thrilled to get a vehicle to drive Lexi in. Aside from the car, Eowyn meets a witty, quiet, and funny man called Skylar, who adore her children and her. They start dating, and find that they are absolutely enamored with one another. Compared to the shallow Hayes, Skylar is a dream for Eowyn, and the kids are somewhat receptive to him dating their mother. And then, 11 months after they first started dating, Skylar proposes. Eowyn agrees, thrilled, and the two hold a beautiful but quiet wedding in a park with the children. Skylar 38, Eowyn 35, Reece 16, Fiona 10, Finnian 9, Rainer 9, Eleanor 8, Hercules 7

 

Year 20: After Hayes and Eowyn are married, their son Reece gets accepted to college early. With him gone, and just 3 kids left in the home, they decide to downgrade. They move across the ocean to Ireland with their Grandmother, into her 3 bedroom home, one room for Grandma, one for Skylar and Eowyn, and one for Fiona, Finnian, and Rainer. They are happy and content with their new small home. They're even happier when they find out that Eowyn is pregnant for the final time, with a little boy. They name their son Micah Griffin, and he moves into their bedroom, where he grows into a happy and healthy little boy.

Year 1

Everybody had always told Maren she had the world at her fingertips, an endless sea of possibilities stretching out before her, but visions of an exciting future often seemed dim and distant. At age 24, Maren still lived under her parents roof, struggling to make ends meet between her waitressing job and taking freelance writing commissions when they came sporadically her way. Maren had majored in creative writing, her love of writing her greatest passion, but establishing herself as a writer took time and often the right connections, so in the meantime Maren felt stuck.

 

She hadn't especially wanted to attend the Augustine family reunion across the state, but feeling indebted to her parents' requests in appreciation for their abundance of kindness, Maren reluctantly packed her bags and braced herself for a slew of questions from nosy relatives she hardly wished to answer. 

 

The Augustine family had picked a lavish hotel for the location of the reunion, and though the food was excellent and the commodities of the hotel superb, Maren found the socialization exhausting. Spent from an especially tedious conversation with a great-aunt, Maren slipped away down a hallway near the kitchen, disappearing out a back door. 

 

There, she nearly bumped into one of the caterers, who was taking a smoking break on the step beneath the door. Apologizing, Maren began to edge herself back toward the door, but the woman insisted it would be no bother is she stayed. They began to chat cordially, which gave way into easy conversation. The woman's name was Bex, and she worked in an auto shop as a mechanic during the day and had taken catering shifts in the evenings to save up money to buy her own motorcycle. The would have spoken for hours if Bex's break had not ended, so she left Maren with a charming smile and piece of paper on which she had scribbled her phone number.

 

Year 2

Maren stayed in contact with Bex, though living several hours and on opposite ends of the state made their communication sporadic. When her father tragically lost his business and declared bankruptcy, her parents downsized to a much smaller home. With no space for Maren, she found herself at the mercy of her older sister's hospitality. From her sister's chilly and damp half-finished basement, she found herself texting Bex and longing for the comfort of someone who would listen. 

 

Bex came back with a startling reply, offering Maren the extra bedroom in her small apartment, insisting that splitting the rent would be doing her a favor. So Maren moved herself and her few possessions across the state.

 

Year 3

Living with Bex was surprisingly easy. They enjoyed each other's company, especially after both working long hours at two jobs. Finally, Maren's career as a writer began to thrive. One of her poems was featured in an anthology a popular writer had compiled, and she soon struck a deal with a publishing company to write a book of poetry. With the the money from her advance, she was able to cut down her waitressing hours and spend more time writing. Bex had finally saved up enough money for her motorcycle and had started taking clients who needed help fixing their own bikes on the side, so she was able to quit her catering job as well. 

 

But as both women's futures began to unfold precisely how they had planned, they were sidewinded by an unexpected complication. Bex's younger sister, Roz, had gotten herself caught up in her boyfriend's drug dealing escapades, landing them both in prison, and saddling Bex unexpectedly with the guardianship of Roz's two-year-old daughter, Willow June.

 

Year 4

Life with a two-year-old was exhausting. Though Willow had her charming moments, Bex was not equipped to cater to the needs and whims of such a young child, and she found herself nearly breaking down daily. One night, after Willow had been put to bed, Maren found Bex on the bathroom floor with a pile of her dark hair scattered across the floor, her head completely shaved. Bex laughed through her tears and told Maren that she couldn't stand the upkeep of her tangled, curly hair a moment longer and had immediately needed to be free of it. Bex had told Maren many times that she had no obligation in this situation and was free to move out, but Maren found herself inexplicably drawn to Bex and the small little girl who had taken such an important place in their lives.

 

Maren crouched down on the floor and held Bex until her tears turned into laughter, and then back to tears again. Maren touched Bex's fuzzy, bare head, telling her she still looked beautiful. And then Bex kissed her.

 

Year 5

It was a surprisingly simple transition from friendship to romance. For one, they soon were able to convert Bex's room into a room just for Willow, decorating the walls with strings of fairy lights and filling the walls with whimsical paintings. Bex moved into Maren's room, and the two fell into an easy relationship, and parenting Willow became a less stressful task as they couple now worked together as a united front.

 

Bex's hair grew out short and spiky, and she dyed it pale lavender. Willow loved it and dubbed it "fairy hair." She began to call Bex 'Mommy' and Maren 'Mama.'

 

Year 6

With Roz serving a long prison sentence, and Willow thriving with Maren and Bex, Roz made the decision to allow Maren and Bex to officially adopt her daughter. They celebrated Willow's adoption by taking a vacation to the beach, and while they were there, Maren and Bex made the spontaneous decision to elope, having a simple yet lovely seashore wedding as the sun set in the backdrop.

 

Year 7

Life in the Augustine-Warner household settled into busy pace. Willow started kindergarten. Maren, with the success of her first poetry book, began to write a collection of short stories. Bex rented out a small space and began her own motorcycle repair shop. 

 

Willow gave them quite a fright when crawled into their bed one night, feverish and moaning in pain. They rushed her to the hospital, where it was determined she had appendicitis and she swiftly received an appendectomy. To lift Willow's spirits while she recovered, Maren came home with a kitten one afternoon, and they named the mischievous little black cat Ziggy

 

Year 8

With both Maren and Bex thriving in their fields of work, they decided it was finally time to buy a house. They moved to a three-bedroom home with pale blue paneling and a fenced in yard with room for a playground set for Willow. 

 

Since they had never had a chance for a proper honeymoon, Maren's older sister agreed to watch Willow for the week while Bex and Maren treated themselves to a week of hiking, motorcycle rides with Maren clinging to Bex with a mix of thrill and dread, and camping under the stars in. They began to talk about the possibility of having their own children.

 

Year 9

After much discussion and careful planning, Maren was artificially inseminated and became pregnant with a baby girl. Willow helped her mothers decorate her the nursery in soft pastels and floral accents. Ruby Poet was born a week early, and ready to be doted upon by her big sister Willow. 

 

Year 10

After much persuasion from Willow, the family decided to add one more furry to their ranks. Pepper, a five-year-old lab mix rescue, settled so easily into their lives that it was hard to imagine a time without her. 

 

Maren now understood the words she had heard so many times before. She could feel the world at her fingertips as she watched her daughters thrive and grow, brimming with potential and offering her more happiness than she could have ever hoped for. She could imagine the sea of endless possibilities, intertwined with those of the woman she so dearly loved. 

 

And with that, Maren picked up her pencil, and began to write.

 

The End :)

2021

Newlywed couple Kasey Josephine Williams "Kasey Jo" and Manuel Reece Williams "Manny" were so excited! They had recently gotten married after 3 years of a rocky, on and off relationship, but they decided that they were going to make things work, so they finally bit the bullet and tied the knot! Manny had decided that they needed to settle in as a married couple before thinking about raising a family, but much to his surprise he found a positive pregnancy test on the table! At first he was upset with Kasey Jo for not telling him, but she reminded him that if they were going to raise a family, they would need to act less like teenagers and more like parents. On April 17th, 2021, Kasey Jo gave birth to an baby girl with high-functioning autism, who they named Keira Katherine Williams.

 

2022

Taking care of Keira proved to be a full time job, and Kasey Jo and Manny were exhausted. They had been snapping at each other a lot lately, and decided that the best way to ease the tension between the two of them was to take a vacation. Since they had never gotten to take a honeymoon due to Kasey Jo being pregnant, they decided to take their "redemption honeymoon" to Bora Bora. They left Keira with Kasey Jo's father, Kristopher Edward, and took a nice two weeks together, just the two of them.

 

2023

After their vacation, family life returned to normal. Kasey Jo found that Manny was quite irritable, as he'd come home from a long day of work and snap at her and Keira. For the betterment of their family, they decided to hold off on having more kids for now. However, Kasey Jo starts having symptoms, and when she goes to the doctor, finds out that she is pregnant again. She doesn't tell Manny, for fear that he'll make her abort the child. When Manny finally does find out, he is furious at Kasey Jo for not telling him. He decides to temporarily move in with his friend, Benjamin Zaire, as he thinks him and Kasey Jo need some time apart. The couple is still not on speaking terms when on October 23rd, a healthy baby girl is born, who Kasey Jo names Nathalie Marisol Williams, nn Nattie.

 

2024

Kasey Jo was sad, as Manny was still living with Benjamin, so she called over an old friend from high school, Dorian Josiah Christensen, to come help her with Keira and Nattie. One thing led to another, and the pair ended up hooking up. About a month later, Manny moved back in with Kasey Jo. He admitted that he was acting childishly, and he was ready to be a good husband and a good father to Keira and Nattie. However, a few months later, Kasey Jo gets the shock of her life: she is pregnant again. She knows it has to be Dorian's, as she is too many months along for it to be Manny's. When Manny finds out, he is incredibly angry. He moves out for good, and serves Kasey Jo divorce papers a few days later. He also waives all rights he has to see Keira and Nattie, stating he'd rather pay child support than have to see the children of the woman who broke his heart and his trust. On February 7th, Kasey Jo gives birth to a healthy baby girl, who she names Liliana Harper Christensen.

 

2025

Kasey Jo: While at daycare, Keira grabbed a pair of scissors and started chopping wildly at her hair. She cut so much off that Kasey Jo just decided to shave it off. She was sad, as Keira had always had such nice, thick brown hair, but it was just hair, so she didn't worry too much about it. Kasey Jo was having a hard time keeping herself afloat, even with Manny's childcare payments, as Dorian had been killed in a car crash earlier that year and didn't get a chance to meet his daughter. Taking care of three kids, one with autism, by yourself is hard work!

 

Manny: Manny realized that it wouldn't be fair to live with Benjamin forever, so he bought his own place, a small, 2-bedroom apartment in New York City. He realized how nice it was not to have to deal with having kids, and started to enjoy living the bachelor life again. He also started dating Elizabeth Aurora Smart "Beth", a ruthless, driven businesswoman.

 

2026

 

Kasey Jo: In order to get back on her feet, Kasey Jo decided that she needed a boyfriend. She started dating Boston Jonah McMills, an elderly, wealthy ex-businessman. He made her feel pretty, and was a great father to her kids, even if he was considerably older than her. However, one day Kasey Jo came home from her job as a bartender and found Boston passed out on the ground! She called an ambulance, but it was too late. He had passed away of a heart attack at age 69. Kasey Jo was heartbroken, but luckily he left her a considerable amount of money in his will, which aided with the family's financial struggles.

 

Manny: A new woman gets hired to be Manny's assistant at work. Her name is Carina Paisley Adams, and she is gorgeous and witty. Even though Manny is happy with Beth, she doesn't give him much affection, whereas Carina does. He begins secretly hooking up with Carina, who is everything Manny has ever wanted in a woman. Later that year, Carina finds out that she is pregnant, but Manny convinces her to abort the baby, for fear that Beth, who has powerful connections, will find out.

 

2027

Kasey Jo: Tired after her many years of love and loss, Kasey Jo decides to plan something nice for her and her daughters. They have a "stay-cation"! Keira and Nattie play games, while three year old Liliana attempts to join in the fun. Kasey Jo realizes how lucky she is to have such a great little family, and is proud to be the mother of three!

 

Manny: This year, Carina finds out that she is pregnant again, and this time, she refuses to abort it. She demands Manny choose between either her or Beth, so Manny decides to leave Beth once and for all. However, when he goes to tell Beth, he finds out that she is pregnant too! He doesn't know what to do, so he breaks the news to Carina that he can't be with her. Carina, heartbroken, quits her job and demands that Manny leaves her life. On June 5th, Carina gives birth to a baby girl with Cerebral Palsy, who she names Alessandra Jocelynn Adams. She is deeply upset, as the baby is the spitting image of Manny, but she knows she must move on. Only three days later, on June 8th, Beth gives birth to a premature baby boy, who they name Adrian Zain Williams-Smart.

 

2028

 

Kasey Jo: Kasey Jo, with quite a bit of money left over from Boston's death, decides the family needs to get out of New York. She moves her family across the country to Washington, where they buy a charming, 3-bedroom house with a forest and a creek behind it! Nathalie has shown a natural interest in exploring, and can often be found wading in the creek or climbing the tall trees. 

 

Manny: Manny has been exhausted. The last few months had been awful for him, as Beth had been working so much and she basically left him to take care of little Adrian all by himself. That's why when Beth announces she is pregnant again, Manny almost breaks down. However, he refuses to make the same mistakes he made with Kasey Jo, and decides that he will raise this baby no matter what. On November 24th, Beth gives birth to a healthy baby boy named Hayden Noel Williams-Smart.

 

2029

 

Kasey Jo: Life as a bartender is never easy, especially when you're raising three kids. That's why Kasey Jo is delighted to be promoted to head mixologist! Her supervisor has seen how hard she works, and decided that she needed a little extra something for her efforts. To celebrate, she goes out with her best friend, Rebekah Mary Anderson, and they have a girl's night!

 

Manny: Manny realized that his apartment was no place fit for two little boys, so he transforms his apartment into an interactive nursery with all new furniture! Adrian and Hayden love it, and Manny feels like he is finally doing a good job as a father for once. The boys don't get to see their mother all that often as she is always working, so they adore Manny more than anything else in the world.

 

2030

 

Kasey Jo: After hearing Nattie's endless begging, the Williams-Christensen family finally decides to adopt a hedgehog! Nattie names him "Sonic" after her favorite video game character. He is such a fun little guy, and the girls love him! Kasey Jo also starts dating Anthony Silas De Rossi "Tony", who the girls adore.

 

Manny: After a long day at work, Manny is about to put the boys asleep and get some much needed rest, when he suddenly hears a knock on the door. He opens it, and sees his sister Sherlyn Samantha in tears. He asks her what's wrong, and finds out that her boyfriend got her pregnant and her parents kicked her out, despite her only being 17. She asks if she can stay with him for awhile, to which Manny immediately agrees. Beth is not happy with this new living arrangement, but Manny reminds her that she isn't home enough to complain anyways. On March 14th, Sherlyn gives birth to a healthy but very underweight baby girl, who she names Elaina Liberty Williams. Adrian and Hayden love her, and treat her like a little sister.

 

2031

 

Kasey Jo: Kasey Jo comes home from a long day at work, when she sees a shiny new sports car in her driveway. She confronts Tony about it, who admits he bought it on impulse. She is very upset, but they manage to talk it out, and they end the conversation with a hug. Tony returns the car, and buys a minivan instead, which is much more suitable for their little family. Liliana especially loves Tony, and squeals with joy whenever he calls her by her nickname that he made up, "Lils".

 

Manny: Manny decides to quit his job and become a full time stay at home dad. He loves Adrian and Hayden more than life itself, and has taken on being a father figure to Elaina as well. He is so proud of his little family and couldn't be more happy. He just wishes that Beth was a little more active in the boys’s lives, but it doesn't bother him enough to leave her.

 

2032

 

Kasey Jo: Kasey Jo thought she was done having kids, so she is shocked to find out that she is pregnant with Tony's baby! The girls are overjoyed at the idea of getting a new little sibling, especially Keira, who just turned 10. Tony turns out to be super excited too, as he always dreamed of being a father. On July 2nd, Kasey Jo is rushed to the hospital. It is almost a month premature, so they are extremely worried. She is given an emergency C-section, and finally gives birth to a healthy baby boy, who they name Reid Brice De Rossi.

 

Manny: Manny starts this year off with news from Beth: she's pregnant again. Manny is excited, but tells her that she will have to start being more of a present mother. Beth doesn't like this, and in retaliation decides to disregard all classic pregnancy rules, and drinks and smokes throughout the duration of her pregnancy. This makes Manny incredibly angry, and he considers leaving Beth. On October 31st, Beth gives birth to their baby boy, who has unfortunately received extreme brain damage due to her actions, and will most likely never be able to speak. His name is Callum Malcolm Williams-Smart.

 

2033

 

Kasey Jo: For her birthday, Keira decides that she wants to decorate her room. She changes from her mermaid theme to a sophisticated, grey theme, with a science lab kit in the corner, and a big bookshelf. She just loves to read and is so smart! Her teachers always tell Kasey Jo how well she's doing in school.

 

Manny: At a family dinner, Manny gets in to an argument with Beth's brother, Arthur Jayden. Arthur explains how his whole family thinks that Manny is a deadbeat, as he doesn't work. This is the last straw for Manny, who breaks up with Beth once and for all. He decides to move out of his apartment, and moves back to his small town. He is at the grocery store when he bumps into Carina, who is pushing the now six year old Alessandra in her wheelchair. They end up talking, and Manny explains how wrong he was and how sorry he is. After a long deliberation, they decide to rekindle their romantic relationship, and Manny decides to be a father to Alessandra. The boys were all sad due to Elaina and Sherlyn having to leave, so they're so excited to have Alessandra as a new big sister.

 

2034

 

Kasey Jo: One day at work, Kasey Jo gets a call. Her older brother, Howard Eddie Fenton passed away, leaving his four kids, Jolie Sierra Fenton (age 13), Johnathan Lawrence Fenton "Johnnie" (age 11), Jagger Jaylan Fenton (age 4), and Justin Campbell Fenton (age 2). Kasey Jo is devastated, and is of course terrified, as she has to go from a family of 6 to a family of 10 in a single day. However, Howard left Kasey Jo his massive mansion in Calabasas, so they move to California. Kasey Jo and Tony also decide to get married, and have a small private ceremony on the beach with their 8 kids. Everything is different, but it's still perfect.

 

Manny: Manny is so happy. Everything in his life seems to be going right. However one day, he is driving Alessandra home from physical therapy when he gets in a car crash. Alessandra is fine, but Manny gets a concussion. This puts strain on his relationship with Carina, as she suspects Manny may have crashed the car on purpose because he didn't want to deal with Alessandra anymore. Manny swears this is not true, as he has come to love Alessandra so incredibly much. Thankfully, Carina believes him and the two are able to work through it.

 

2035

 

Kasey Jo: After the death of Howard, Kasey Jo's family, the Fentons, realized that life is too short. They have a family reunion at the family mansion in Calabasas where Kasey Jo and the kids live, and Kasey Jo is so excited to see her two sisters, Anya Eliza MacKenna and Carissa Julie Law. Liliana is especially excited to meet all of her little cousins for the first time, especially Carissa's 3 year old son, Jax Dane Law.

 

Manny: After a lot of deliberation, Manny pops the question to Carina one night at dinner! She immediately agrees. They choose to have a big wedding in Central Park, and invite all of Manny and Carina's friends and family. The wedding is so elegant, and incorporates all of the children perfectly too. What makes Manny's heart nearly burst is when Carina gives him a post-wedding present: a certificate stating that she has changed Alessandra's last name to Alessandra Jocelynn Williams. Manny couldn't be happier with his big family!

 

 

2036

 

Kasey Jo: Life had been going so right for Kasey Jo, but then one day it all came crashing down. Tony came home one night from work, and tearfully announced that he had colon cancer. They were all upset, but Jagger took it especially hard, as Tony had really become like a second father to him. Kasey Jo was heartbroken, but decided that her and her family were going to stay strong and fight through it together.

 

Manny: Carina came home from work one day with a little present for Manny. Manny opened it, and was so ecstatic to see a positive pregnancy test! The two hadn't even been trying for a baby, but he was so excited to expand their little family even more. The pregnancy went extremely smoothly, and on August 22nd, a healthy little boy was born who they named Kingsley Jude Williams.

 

 

2037

 

Kasey Jo: Kasey Jo had been feeling fine, but she noticed herself gaining a little weight. She went to the doctor, who announced that she was 8 months pregnant. Kasey Jo was totally shocked and very scared, as she didn't want to have to spend any extra money on another child, because Tony's cancer treatments were expensive. She considered giving the child up for adoption, however Tony convinced her to keep it, saying that he wanted nothing more than another child to brighten up his life. On September 13th, Kasey Jo gave birth to a healthy (but heavy) baby boy whom she named Tate Marcos De Rossi.

 

Manny: Much to his shock and delight, Carina revealed that she was pregnant again! She was worried about having a house with so many kids, but Manny assured her that they would be okay. On December 14th, Carina gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Paxton Erick Williams.

 

2038

 

Kasey Jo: Tony's cancer treatments had gotten quite expensive, so the family decided to sell the mansion and move to Canada. They bought a 5 bedroom house just outside of Montreal, with a pool in the back. Jolie was heartbroken to move away from her childhood home, but she busied herself with learning French with Keira and Nattie. Both Liliana and Johnnie seemed to have a natural affinity for the language, as they picked it up in no time,

 

Manny: One day after coming home from work, Manny pulls in the driveway just in time to see Carina walk out of the house and drop to the floor. He calls 911 and they rush Carina to the hospital, where they find out she had a heart attack. She is okay, but Manny is really worried about more health problems like this occurring in the future.

 

2039

 

Kasey Jo: One day after work, Kasey Jo and Tony are arguing, when Kasey Jo snaps at Tony. Tony jokingly cracks that she might be pregnant. Kasey Jo brushes it off, but just in case she goes to the doctor and finds out that she's pregnant with twins! Tony almost faints when she tells him, and they decide to build an addition on the house for their two new bundles of joy. On May 31st, a healthy baby boy and an autistic baby girl are born, who they name Anthony Silas De Rossi Jr. "Silas" and Lauryn Skyla De Rossi.

 

Manny: Manny is in utter shock when Carina tells him she's pregnant once again. He doesn't think she should go through with it due to her health issues, but Carina stubbornly decides to anyways. It is a very high-risk pregnancy and the baby is almost lost a few times, but finally on November 9th, Carina gives birth to a healthy baby girl named Delaney Ariel Williams.

 

2040

 

Kasey Jo: Kasey Jo, in addition to her job as head mixologist, decides to pick up the night shift at a small fast-food chicken shop as well. Tony's cancer treatment expenses are racking up, and she now has 11 mouths to feed. She is exhausted all of the time, but she would do anything for her family.

 

Manny: Carina's sister, Helena Adelaide Adams, passes away in childbirth. Carina is heartbroken, as Helena was like her best friend. However, Helena was a single mother, and now Carina decides to take in her two children, her 7 year old Greta Maci Adams, and her newborn Averie Elyse Adams. Manny doesn't really want to have two more mouths to feed, but he understands and would do anything for Carina and his family.

 

2041

 

Kasey Jo: To celebrate Keira and Jolie's 20th birthdays, the family goes to Disney World! This is never where Kasey Jo thought she'd end up in life, but she's extremely happy. Tony has been in remission for some time now, and the family has grown so so close. Overall, Kasey Jo is so pleased with how her life turned out!

 

Manny: Manny decides that they are done having kids, and decides to go back to school to get his degree in education! He loves kids more than anything, and wants to teach them for the rest of his life. He never thought he'd end up a father of so many, but he feels incredibly lucky and thankful to have the life that he has today.

The Callahan Family 

est. 2020  

Ethan William and Zoey Madeleine {nee Bennett} 

 

Year 1 - 2020 

 

Zoey began the year being diagnosed with autism. She wasn't very surprised, as autism is commonly missed in girls. It was very validating to hear that her lived experiences were normal for autistic girls and to find a community of folks like her. Zoey also decided to go back to school! She is pursuing a degree in Sonography. 

 

Ethan is very supportive of everything Zoey is doing with her life right now. 

 
Year 2 - 2021 
 
While working towards her degree, Zoey finds that her fast food job really wasn't working for her. Instead, she decide to apply for a new job. Thankfully she was accepted in a clothing retail store. 
 
Ethan decided to surprise Zoey with a bearded dragon as a pet! He knew she'd always wanted one and Zoey was overwhelmed with joy to see her when she arrived home. They decided to name her Java
 
Year 3 - 2022 
 
Zoey and Ethan had originally planned on waiting until their life was together more to start growing their family but were still pleasantly surprised when Zoey discovered she was pregnant. Unfortunately, not long after disclosing her pregnancy to her job, Zoey's boss fired her for "going against cooperate policies", though Zoey didn't have the energy or finances to fight that discrimination. 
 
Zoey ended up giving birth prematurely and unexpectedly, but thankfully their baby boy was relatively healthy! They named him Elliott William Callahan. Elliott had a couple weeks stay in the NICU but thankfully was otherwise healthy. 
 
Year 4 - 2023
 
Zoey decides to join a parenting group to find some advice, comfort, and solidarity. While there, she meets another parent and they end up becoming friends. Their name is Kai Jordan Millard. Their child, Phoenix Riley, is about the same age as Elliott. Zoey and Kai enjoyed both relating to one another in parenting scenarios and just generally enjoyed the same things. 
 
Things get pretty rough between Zoey and Ethan this year. Ethan is stressed about finances while Zoey is feeling burdened with most of the parenting duties. The struggles got pretty bad so they decided to seek out couples counseling, where they figured out how to better communicate and meet one anothers needs. 
 
Zoey and Ethan are thrilled to celebrate Elliott's first birthday this year! It was hard to believe their little baby had already lived a whole year. 
 
Year 5 - 2024 
 
Ethan had always wanted a pet dog and Zoey generally liked them, so they decided to visit a local rescue shelter and adopt a dog! He was a mix breed of Bernese Mountain dog and Labrador, a big cuddly boy. They decide to name him Macadamia, but call him Mack for short. 
 
Now that Elliott is getting a bit bigger, Zoey decides to get a part time job in Sonography! She had finally finished her degree, despite it taking a little longer due to life circumstances. She misses being home with Elliott full time, as that was her true enjoyment. But thankfully Zoey and Ethan hired a friend they loved and trusted to care for Elliott while they worked. 
 
Year 6 - 2025 
 
Ethan's family invite him, Zoey, and Elliott on a family vacation to Disney! Thankfully Ethan's parents could cover costs! Elliott was thrilled to meet all sorts of characters and spend time his with Grammy, Grampy, aunts, and uncles. As a nearly 3 year old kid, he was fascinated with everything around him. 
 
Later that year, Ethan and Zoey were able to purchase a house! Ethan's job offered a promotion that would require a move across the state boarder, though thankfully not a long distance away as they already lived near the border as was. There were 5 bedrooms and 2 1/2 bathrooms. Ethan and Zoey hoped to have plenty of room for loved ones to visit and stay with them plus a home office for Ethan to work through. 
 
Year 7 - 2026 
 
This year brought in some tough challenges, especially in Ethan and Zoey's relationship. They were both so busy between trying to maintain their house, their work schedules, the burdens that came along with their jobs, and had very little quality time together. They decided to get back into couples counseling and thankfully were able to talk things through and make plans to maintain a better relationship together. 
 
For Elliott's fourth birthday, Zoey and Ethan decide to redecorate Elliott's room! Elliott is fascinated in planets and space so they found lots of fun decor to match his interests. Elliott was absolutely in love with his new room! 
 
Year 8 - 2027
 
Unfortunately, Zoey gets in an argument with Ethan's family about how she and Ethan are parenting Elliott. Elliott had been showing signs of needing to see a pediatric developmental specialist and Ethan's family were not very kind about it, claiming things like "there's nothing wrong with Elliott!" and going so far as to claim Zoey wasn't autistic herself, as they didn't believe in neurodiversities. Thankfully Ethan stuck up for Zoey, as he should, but his family weren't so kind about it regardless. 
 
Eventually, Ethan and Zoey were informed that Elliott is gifted. Ethan and Zoey weren't surprised, based on how the past five years with him have been. He began reading when he was newly two, remembers a variety of information, becomes very intensely engrossed in things of his interest, very energetic, etc. They also potentially suspected other neurodiversities but with his high IQ the doctors brushed off these questions.  Regardless, they loved helping Elliott pursue his interests. 
 
Year 9 - 2028 
 
Elliott began first grade this year! And while there, he makes a few close friends. One of which he swears is his girlfriend, which make Zoey and Ethan smile. Her name is Emma Clarke and she is a very nice friend. 
 
In exciting news, Zoey and Ethan discovered they were expecting again! They had originally hoped to have another earlier but the timing wasn't ideal. They were excited to welcome a beautiful baby girl, whom they named Zinnia Jane Callahan. Thankfully she was full term and in good health. Elliott had mixed feelings about his baby sister. He loved her dearly but the change in routine was rough for him. 
 
Year 10 - 2029 
 
Zoey decides to dye her hair blue! She had always wanted to all her life and never had an ideal opportunity to do so. Her workplace allowed for a dark blue, which she was content with. She felt absolutely beautiful with it. Even more fun, Ethan comes home with a baby boy cat! He rescued him from the shelter and they named him Walnut.  
 
Zinnia celebrated her first birthday! And Elliott celebrated his 7th birthday! They had a lot of fun doing things as a family for both birthdays. 
 
Year 11 - 2030 
 
This year took a very unexpected turn. First, Zoey feels a small lump in her breast. After seeing a doctor, she discovers it's breast cancer. Not long after that, she gets a positive pregnancy test. Everything felt overwhelming at this point but thankfully the doctors gave good hope. As it was stage 1, they were able to remove the cancerous cells during the pregnancy 
 
Despite such a scare, it was wonderful to welcome their baby girl to the family later that year. They named her Primrose Emilia Callahan. Posy was born healthy, full term, and the pregnancy went smoothly! Zoey was even able to breastfeed despite the surgery, as it didn't remove all the breast tissue. 
 
Year 12 - 2031 
 
In an awful turn of events, Zoey finds herself in a car accident. Her car ended up totaled, which they had started to consider upgrading anyway. A silver lining, anyway. 
 
And to add to the misfortune, the doctor found new cancerous growth in Zoey's breast. It was still small but they decided to alter their treatment to better fight it. 

 

 

Year 13 - 2032 

 

Despite how young Ethan is, his hair started going gray this year. He decided to let it grow out gray rather than dye it. He didn't feel strongly either way so figured he'd just let it be. 

 

And yet again, he comes home with another cat from the shelter! She was a mix breed named Almond. The house started feeling a little more full now that there was a bearded dragon, their large dog, and two cats. They loved having pets around, however, so it was wonderful. 

 

Year 14 - 2033 

 

Another cancer diagnosis came this year, except it was Ethan instead of Zoey. His was melanoma and thankfully it was caught early on. Thankfully after following the recommended treatments, it seemed to work.

 

They celebrated with a family vacation to the beach. They chose a local beach so they wouldn't have to drive too far with an 11 year old, 5 year old, and 3 year old. 

 

Year 15 - 2034 

 

Zoey decides she wants a septum piercing, so she goes through with it! She loved it so much and was happy to finally get that done. Ethan found it really cute too. 

 

One day, Zoey accidentally missed a birth control pill and a few weeks later found she was pregnant. Zoey and Ethan were very unsure about everything, as with so many health scares, with Elliott being 12 having support needs, then Zin and Posy being 6 and 4 with needs of their own... but ultimately, they decided it'd be okay. They were surprised when they found they were carrying boy-girl twins! The twins ended up arriving prematurely and required a short NICU stay but thankfully their health was otherwise fine and they got stronger every day. Zoey and Ethan chose the names Theodore Finn Callahan and Marigold Lucille Callahan. Teddy and Goldie were laid back, happy babies. Elliott, being well versed in being a big sibling, was happy to see more and loved them dearly. Zinnia was smitten with the babies, and Posy was happy to go with the flow. 

 

Year 16 - 2035 

 

Zinnia, being a fearless and daredevil of a child, falls off a tree and breaks her arm! She broke it in just a way that required her to get surgery and have pins inserted. Despite how much it hurt, she was very brave about the process. 

 

Posy gets diagnosed as autistic this year. Ethan and Zoey had figured since she was a small child that it was possible, though now that she's turning 6 and needing to begin school, they decided to go through the official evaluation to assure proper supports in the school. Especially as she was nonverbal and used ASL to communicate, they'd need that in her care plan at school. 

 

Year 17 - 2036 

 

Zinnia, now 8 and in second grade, begins getting in trouble at school. It was a collection of times of her not paying proper attention, being disruptive, and not staying on task. Zoey and Ethan decide to meet with her teacher and discuss a plan to help Zin succeed. 

 

This year, Posy also gets enrolled in the gifted program. There were a lot of feelings going around from everyone about it. Zoey felt guilty she hadn't noticed it earlier, as it had become the norm because of Elliott in addition to all the health scares that had gone on since conceiving Primrose. Elliott is indifferent, as it's his norm. Zinnia gets annoyed with her siblings sometimes but that's pretty common among siblings. Ethan understands that life got busy so things got missed. And of course, Ted and Goldie are only 2, so they are indifferent. Granted, they hadn't noticed she could read as early as when she learned due to being nonverbal and not reading aloud once she learned how. 

 

Year 18 - 2037 

 

Trouble comes up when, while Zoey was paying bills, she realizes she's really tight on being able to afford basic needs. Upon looking through their spending, she realizes that Ethan had secretly purchased a lot of video games. While Zoey felt hurt that Ethan wasn't more responsible and had hid it, they managed to talk it through and find solutions, after a little while of heavy budgeting to be sure bills were paid. 

 

When finances were fixed, Zoey decides she wants to dye her hair again! She decides to go with pink this time. 

 

Year 19 - 2038 

 

Unfortunately, finances continued to be a problem despite having thought you'd come to an agreement. After a huge argument, Ethan admits he is making purchases because of depression, so Zoey helps get him in to see a psychiatrist. He began some antidepressants and therapy and was slowly but surely able to apply coping skills he learned over time and his depression became under control. 

 

Later on, Zinnia decides to redecorate her room! She wants a rainbow theme, so she found lots of simple ways to make her room feel like it was hers. 

 

Year 20 - 2039 

 

Finances got settled, life began to calm down, and this year felt good. Ethan's family decided to help contribute to an expansion on their home! They had ended up using Ethan's office as a nursery so they built another room to make Ethan's office. 

 

In a surprising turn, Elliott came home one day and talked to Ethan and Zoey, confessing he got his girlfriend pregnant. His long term girlfriend, Maeve O'Roark, was 17, just like Elliott. Unfortunately, Maeve's family wasn't supportive. So Zoey and Ethan agreed she can move in and they'd support the two of them through this pregnancy. They set up some ground rules and boundaries and were able to come up to a good agreement. Later that year, Elliott and Maeve welcomed a baby girl, Aoife Maeve Callahan. As much as they had hoped it'd be a few more years until this happened, they loved being grandparnets and baby Aoife was wonderful.

Posted 15 October 2020 - 08:49 AM

I enjoyed this so much I'm going to do it again lol! I roll the dice for all 20 years before I start making the story and it just ends up working so nicely  :wub: 

 

Year 1 - 2020 

 

Eden Laurel Gottesman {17} and Isaac Thomas Pritzkern {17} were best friends since elementary school, having grown up in the same town, attended the same schools, and had overlapping interests. While they harbored some romantic feelings for one another, they never pursued a relationship together. On Eden's part, she recognized he either wasn't faithful or wasn't committed to any of his previous relationships and didn't feel they would make it long term. On both their parts, they valued their friendship and didn't want to risk potentially ruining it by involving romance. Isaac's ADHD made him impulsive and his parents refused to let him medicate, and while Eden knew that this influenced his poor decisions, she still felt it didn't make for a great foundation to their relationship. Isaac was generally self aware but didn't take great lengths to fix his struggles. He tended to shrug it off and move on pretty quickly. 

 

Shortly after high school graduation, they attended a party together. They had a lot to drink and ended up intimate. The next morning, they agreed to pretend it had never happened as they wanted to preserve their friendship. 

 

Eden's family had planned an international family vacation that set out a few days after the party occurred. They traveled to Europe, visiting popular vacation locations like London, Paris, Barcelona, and Prague. Eden had an amazing time with her parents, Margaret Eva {nee Kovner, 42} and Alexander Leon {49}, and her sisters Haley Diana {20} and Piper Amelia {15}. They spent 3 weeks in Europe together and had a wonderful time. 

 

Isaac and his family didn't have any exciting plans but they enjoyed their summer nonetheless. His father, Owen Reid {44}, was a lawyer that spent much of his time at work. His mother, Jacqueline Ann {39}, was heavily involved in the local country club and tennis clubs. They both made time to spend with Isaac and his little brother, Sawyer Noah {12}. 

 

Not long after Eden got home, she started feeling unwell. At first she thought she may have caught a virus but when she continued to feel unwell for longer than she thought normal, she realized she was over a week late for her cycle. It felt unreal to her but she decided to take a breath and go buy a pregnancy test before panicking. The test turned positive pretty quickly and she was no doubt pregnant. She spent a few days considering her options but ultimately decided she was going to have her babies and raise them. She confided in Isaac about her pregnancy and while he was surprised and scared, he supported her. They began working out their plans immediately, as this is a huge life changing event. They see a doctor as soon as they can and find out Eden is carrying twins! 

 

Upon announcing the pregnancy to their parents, they were disappointed. Thankfully Eden's parents backed her up, were proud to hear of how much they'd already planned and researched, and offered their support. Isaac's parents needed time to adjust to how they felt. 

 

Eden went into labor prematurely, which scared everyone. She stayed on bed rest within the hospital, received a shot that would help the babies lungs develop, and things of that nature. About a week after arriving, her waters broke and it was time to have the babies. Thankfully, Greyson Oliver Prizkern and Willow Cecilia Pritzkern were otherwise healthy! They were born only weeks before Christmas and it felt like winter magic. 

 

Year 2 - 2021

 

To help support their daughter, Margo and Lex purchased a small home for Eden and Isaac! It had 1,200 square feet, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. Eden is able to set up a nursery for Grey and Willow, which she was excited for, even if she kept pack and play's in her own bedroom so the babies could sleep in her room at night. 

 

Eden begins working to support her babies. She pays her sisters, Haley and Piper, to babysit while she works. Isaac is in university and working as well. They find they see one another so rarely, mostly when they're fast asleep, and life feels busy. At this point, they were lightly agreed that they were dating, though not much time ever got around for romance of any form. Still, Eden was hurt when Isaac admits he cheated on her. He'd been studying with a classmate regularly, and one night things went too far. Isaac felt horrible about it and was upfront immediately after it happened but he and Eden agree that they just aren't meant to be together as a couple. Eden asked him to move out, to help preserve their friendship even if they couldn't work it out romantically. They hoped to still be friends, with the bare minimums to co parent effectively. 

 

Year 3 - 2022 

 

Eden - With rambunctious toddlers and a demanding job wearing her down, Eden decides to do a staycation with her kids. She takes 1 week of vacation time and plans some fun local activities to do with Greyson and Willow. With them being only 18 months, she chose little things like pushing the stroller through the aquarium and zoo. She also decides to dye her hair purple! She'd always wanted to do fun colors and hadn't been allowed to while living at home. She felt radiant! 

 

Isaac - Now living in his own apartment, he decides to adopt a cat from the rescue near by as he loves cats and knows his children would enjoy her too. He gets a fluffy black cat whom is named Sage. Isaac is surprised when one of his fling's, Ava Harper Conway, announces she is pregnant with his child! He's surprised, as when his condom had broken he'd immediately bought her an emergency contraceptive, but she told him that her doctor said that emergency contraceptives are often less effective on anyone above 150 lb, which she hadn't known before her doctor mentioned it. They decide to officially get together in hopes of being good parents for their son, however. She later births the baby and they name him Sebastian Henry Pritzkern. He was born full term and healthy. 

 

Year 4 - 2023

 

Eden - Eden is so excited to bring Greyson and Willow to the beach for a vacation! It was a local beach, nice and sandy with pretty rocks and shells around to enjoy. She's also thrilled to get a promotion at work! She's now a leader within her section at work! 

 

Isaac - Isaac and Ava get in a huge argument about caring for Sebastian. Ava wants to party and have fun and while Isaac does too, he's also working and trying to get good grades at school. Ava knows that Isaac's parents will not continue to pay his tuition unless he maintains good grades but she still doesn't watch Bash while he studies or such. Isaac breaks up with Ava, having argued too many times about responsibilities. 

 

Year 5 - 2024 

 

Eden - Eden had begun casually dating again. She had tried her best to be regular with birth control pills but missed a dose or two every now and then. She wasn't entirely surprised when she discovered she was pregnant again, though a bit disappointed in herself for being so irresponsible. The father had decided he wanted nothing to do with this pregnancy, so Eden welcomed her baby girl by herself. She named her Luna Charlotte Gottesman. Thankfully she is born full term and healthy! Unfortunately, not long after her birth, Eden finds herself struggling with postpartum depression and is taken over by an eating disorder. She began a strict diet of heavily counting calories and lost weight quickly. Isaac noticed Eden didn't seem to be okay and stepped in, thankfully helping her get the support she needed to work through this. 

 

Isaac - Isaac's life took a very drastic turn this year. His ex girlfriend, Ava, had occasionally still been hooking up with him casually, despite Isaac's insistence that they'd not be a romantic couple anymore. Ava, becoming desperate, went to great lengths in attempt to get Isaac back. Jealous of seeing Isaac's ex (Eden) being so slender and thinking that's why he loved her, she began dieting as well and lost some weight. When that didn't change Isaacs mind, she decided to lie to Isaac about being on birth control and got pregnant again. Isaac was shocked when Ava announced she was pregnant, believing her to be on the Depo shot and for that to be very effective. But he was even more shocked when a friend of Ava's let it slip what Ava had done. While Isaac very much wanted to be a part of his childrens lives, he didn't want any sort of relationship anymore and limited all communications to be about the kids. Ava develops pre eclampsia towards the end of her pregnancy and has a scary delivery after a placental abruption! She was rushed to the hospital and had an emergency cesarean section. Ava needed more medical care for herself but thankfully they were both alive. Violet Cora Pritzkern was born at a low birth weight and needed a little care in the NICU. She recovered beautifully, however. 

 

Isaac ended up missing a lot of work while in the hospital with his daughter which resulted in them firing him. He was pretty upset about this, of course, but thankfully Isaac's parents knew someone who had an opening. Isaac's family helped financially accommodate him staying home with Violet until she was old enough for daycare, which is when Isaac began his new job.  

 

Year 6 - 2025 

 

Eden - in the midst of the chaos of having a young baby and twins whom were turning 5, Eden decides to adopt some pet fish. She let the twins name them, which they picked Train and Pink. Later that year, Eden notices a funny looking mole on her arm and decides to see a doctor about it. They remove it and send it to the lab which returns the results of stage 1 melanoma. Thankfully they caught it so early as they were able to surgically remove all the cancerous cells to cure it. 

 

Isaac - Isaac and Ava had a rough time co parenting. Isaac had sought a custody agreement pretty quickly after Violet's birth, not knowing how Ava would decide to act, so they had 50/50 custody. Despite fighting the custody agreement, Ava often picked the kids off late, dropped them off early, or asked Isaac to pick up on her days so she could do things. It was frustrating, as Isaac had been working a full time job now that he graduated and got his degree. In a horrible turn of events, Ava gets in a rough car accident that permanently disables her. After this, Ava decides to update the custody agreement so that Isaac is the primary parent and she gets every other weekend. After this change, thankfully, things start getting a little smoother for them. 

 

On a less chaotic note, Sebastian gets fitted for his first pair of glasses. He turns out to be near sighted. 

 

Year 7 - 2026 

 

Eden - Eden was excited to become an aunt for the first time when her sister, Haley, announced she was pregnant. It was pretty unexpected, as Haley hadn't been opened about seeing anyone romantically and had been enjoying her career and friendships, but they loved Haley and knew she'd be a wonderful mother. Everyone is heartbroken when, not long after birthing her daughter Stella Mabel Gottesman, she passes away from a postpartum hemorrhage. Haley had no partner to take Stella. Margo and Lex were not prepared to have a baby in their home, worked long hours, and were not feeling up to caring for an infant unless absolutely necessary. Piper, only 21, was just finishing up her degree and getting ready to join the workforce. It felt natural that Stella would go to Eden's care. Her little two bedroom house felt pretty cramped with two 6 year olds, a 2 year old, and now an infant, but Eden was grateful to have her sisters daughter with her. Stella looked just like a mini Haley, which comforted Eden. Haley had an ample savings account that Eden was able to have to help care for the kids, though her parents were happy to help care for their kids and grand kids. Under the grief and depression of everything happening in Eden's life, she impulsively shaved her head. Despite it being an impulsive move, Eden found she really loved having no hair! The quicker showers, no brushing, no hair in her eyes, and no hair elastics needed. Eden was grateful Greyson and Willow began first grade this year, both reducing her daycare bills and giving her a little time to parent two less kids during any days when she was home during the day.  

 

Isaac  - Isaac had started dating again after he got in the flow of being a single father to four kids. Unfortunately, she turns out to be a cheater as well. Isaac broke up with her. With bills adding up, especially from the NICU stay, Isaac gets another job to help pay them off. 

 

Year 8 - 2027 

 

Eden - A friend of Edens introduces her to a man named Miles Jacob Petersonberg, and he and Eden hit it off! They had agreed to take things slowly, which was working for them. When Eden had began dating again, she had an IUD inserted so she wouldn't have to worry about reliably taking birth control. Eden was surprised when she found herself pregnant despite it! When she visited her midwife, they did an ultrasound and it showed the IUD had shifted. Eden was surprised yet again when the midwife announced it was twins. It felt unreal that she could possibly be carrying twins again. Thankfully, she and Miles had been pretty solid and he was supportive, even if nervous. Margo and Lex helped Eden get a down payment for a bigger house as they had too little space within the previous home! There was now a room for Willow, Luna, and Stella to share. Greyson and the twins would have a room to share. A bedroom for Eden and Miles, of course. There was a room for an office, and a guest bedroom, which Piper occasionally crashed in while babysitting the kids. There were 2 1/2 bathrooms too, which was convenient. The house had over 2,000 sq ft, which felt massive compared to the 1,200 they'd been in for the past 7 years. Later that year, the twins were born a little early but healthy! They were named Theodore August Petersonberg and Everett Charles Petersonberg

 

Isaac  - Isaac decides to adopt another cat from the local rescue. This one is a black and white cat and it's named Lula. Isaac meets a girl through online dating and things seem to go smoothly. He and Ella Roisin Murdoch spent a decent amount of timing getting to know one another before meeting up. Ella was nervous to date a guy with 4 kids, especially worried about what her role would be in their lives and what their mothers would be like, but she ended up happy she took the chance. When Isaac and Ella's relationship got serious, Isaac introduced her to Eden and they got along well. Ella met Grey, Willow, Bash, and Violet, they seemed to get along pretty well too. 

 

Year 9 - 2028 

 

Eden - Bills started to pile up so Eden decides to get a second job. Greyson and Willow are turning 9 and involved with after school sports, which cost quite a bit. Luna and Stella, now 4 and 2, joined swimming classes. Luna was in preschool but Stella was still in daycare. Then, of course, Teddy and Ev were only 1 and in daycare. Miles job paid well but Eden felt strongly about wanting to afford half the bills herself, for fear of becoming dependent and losing him. And to add to the bills, Grey manages to break his arm while playing on a trampoline, and it requires surgery. Grey was fine and well otherwise, at least. 

 

Isaac  - Isaac and Ella seem to be doing well for a while, when Ella notices Isaac starting to pull away from her. It led into a huge argument, as Isaac was afraid of falling in love just for it to fail so he began to self sabotage. He and Ella were able to talk it out.

 

While at preschool, Violet falls off of one of the playground slides and breaks a bone in her arm! Isaac felt so stressed that two of his kids had a broken arm, even though it wasn't his fault. 

 
Year 10 - 2029 
 
Eden - All her hard work began showing through, when Eden checked her account to see that she had a decent savings adding up! She decided to buy all new furniture for her bedroom! She had bought all her current ones second hand upon moving into her first house and it all showed pretty decent wear and tear. It felt wonderful to buy a new bed frame, new dresser, new night stands, and a new rocking chair for her room! 
 
Miles decided to treat the family to a day of fun at a local water park. Everyone had a blast! It was nice to spend the day together like this. 
 
Isaac - On a happy note, Isaac invited Ella to move in this year. It felt pretty big, as he'd been committed to her and in love for a couple years now, which is the longest he'd been in a relationship, much less faithful the entire time. Ella had proven to be really great to the kids. In a horrible turn of events, Ella's father passes away. She's gutted, as she was very close to him. Isaac decides to buy her the newest gaming console and some games so they can play together and for something to do while she grieves. 

 

Year 11 - 2030 

 

Eden - Greyson redecorates his room! He went with a blue/green theme and it looked pretty neat. Eden decides to get her nose pierced, just for fun. 

 

Isaac - Isaac and Ella decide to buy a small home together! It had two rooms, two bathrooms, and they repurposed the basement to be a third bedroom. He and Ella slept in the basement. They set the rooms up so Greyson and Bash could share a room and Willow and Violet could share a room. Isaac also starts getting grey hairs, so he lets it grow in as is instead of dying or anything. 

 

Year 12 - 2031 

 

Eden - Willow begs and begs to go camping in a tent someday, so Eden finally agrees and packs the family up to do so. With Willow and Greyson being nearly 12, Luna being 7, Stella being 5, and Teddy and Ev being 4, it was a bit of a handful but Eden and Miles were grateful at least none of them were babies. 

 

That autumn, Grey gets in trouble at school. He was caught skipping a class. Eden and Isaac were very disappointed in him, talked it out, and he admitted to skipping for fear of failing the test due in class. They had him write an apology letter to his teacher and met up to talk to the teacher and hope to get a better understanding of his participation in class, whether he needed additional help, etc. 

 

Isaac  - Willow announces she has her first girlfriend! It's bittersweet to think of his baby girl growing up but he's happy she feels safe and comfortable being opened about her life. Her girlfriends name is Scarlett Emily Arillaga

 

Sebastian redecorates his room! He chooses a "rock & roll" theme. 

 

Year 13 - 2032 

 

Eden - Margo and Lex are so proud of how well Eden has been living her life. They were worried about her being a teen mom of twins, then seeing her a single mom after she and Isaac split, and of the many barriers Eden has faced and overcome rather responsibly. For her 28th birthday, they decide to gift her a large sum of money they had been investing in for her to do as she pleases. Eden decides to save it, as she's already experienced so many life changing and sudden events that she wants to feel secure. 

 

Miles comes home with heartbreaking news that his mother passed away. Eden had quite liked Miles' mother and was gutted to hear this news. Eden and Miles did their best to support Miles' father through the loss too. 

 

Isaac  - When Ella expressed that she wanted to have a baby, Isaac was very unsure. Grey and Willow being 13, Bash being 10, and Violet being 8, he'd experienced the newborn phase a few times now and kids are expensive. Plus, he was generally involved in his children's siblings/ his best friends kids too. But when he got down to thinking about it, he did love having a large family and he loved Ella. After receiving a raise at work for his excellent work ethic, Isaac agreed and they decided to give it a go. Ella was excited when she found she was pregnant! She soon started having severe symptoms that lead to a rough pregnancy, however. Between Hypermesis Gravidarum and Symphysis Pubic Dysfunction, she found herself on bed rest fairly early and needed regular care for IV fluids and such. Depression set in pretty hard from the chronic pain and sickness. Eden and Miles supported Isaac and Ella as much as they could through this pain. The dehydration caused preterm labor, which added to her depression and anxiety. She ended up birthing early and baby needed a little bit of care. Isaac and Ella were happy to welcome their baby girl into the world! They decided on the name Clementine Athena Maeve Pritzkern. Ella began feeling so much better once Minnie was in the world! Minnie's siblings loved her greatly. 

 

Year 14 - 2033 

 

Eden - With their relationship being so solid and long lasting, Miles proposed to Eden! She excitedly said yes! She knew Miles was the love of her life. They had an intimate ceremony with their families, close friends, and of course all the kids. 

 

Later that year, Miles has a heart attack! Despite his mother having passed from a heart attack the year previous, he hadn't expected this to happen so young. Thankfully they were able to set up a plan, meds, etc and stabilize him. 

 

Isaac - On his way home from work, Isaac got in a car accident. Thankfully he was okay but it was definitely frustrating managing insurance and dealing with aches from after the accident. Ella comes home with a pet hedgehog! A girl she named Petal. The kids all loved the hedgehog and the cats tolerated her. 

 

Year 15 - 2034 

 

Eden - Eden is disheartened to get a call from the school hearing her daughter, Willow, had gotten in trouble at school. When she arrived it turned out it was just a dress code violation. Eden just shrugged it off, as dress codes aren't a big deal to her. Willow apologized and agreed to be more careful to pick clothes that fit the code. This year, Grey grows a whole foot taller! Seeing her boy grow so tall was bittersweet. 

 

Isaac  - Sebastian tells Isaac and Ella that he has his first girlfriend! A girl called Hattie Olive Gittinger. She was a sweet girl and Isaac and Ella enjoyed her coming over. Violet asks Ella to bring her to get her ears pierced, so they make a date of it and get it done. Violet is so excited! Isaac is happy to see his daughter so happy. Ava wasn't happy when she heard Ella had done so, as she felt it was her right as her "real" mother to do so, but as Ava isn't as involved in Violet's life, Violet wasn't as close to her emotionally and didn't want to do it with Ava. Isaac discussed this with Ava, who didn't agree but bare minimums accepted not to guilt Violet about it. 

 

Year 16 - 2035 

 

Eden - With her children growing up, Eden decides she wants a family vacation. They decide on a staycation. Eden and Miles took vacation time from work, they called the kids out of school, and they bonded at home together. Willow asks Eden to bring her to get her nose pierced, so they do so. Miles thought she was a bit young to do so and privately talked to Eden about it, but realized it was Miles feeling emotional and thinking back to the little girl he'd met when she was 8 years old and not the 16 year old in front of him. 

 

Isaac  - Isaac and Eden are surprised when Willow approaches them with Scarlett by her side and announces she's pregnant with Scarlett's baby. Isaac and Eden had known Scarlett was a trans woman, but they had thought they'd stressed the importance of birth control. Willow admits she had let them down by missing birth control pills and had made a bad decision to not use condoms as they'd be relying on the birth control. Unfortunately, Scarlett's parents weren't supportive whatsoever and kicked her out of the house. As Eden had more room in her home to accomodate Scarlett moving in and room for their baby, Willow decides to more permanently move in with her mum, though promises she wants to see her dad frequently too. Isaac fully understands, even if he's sad to have less time with his girl. On the flip side, Grey decides he wants to move in more permanently with Isaac, as he feels he'll have more space. He had a hard time deciding, as he enjoyed hanging out with Willow and liked living in the same house together, but at least his parents live close by and he can visit as he pleases. Especially as they got their drivers licenses this year, they'd have access to seeing each other more easily. Upon the kids getting their drivers licenses, Isaac and Ella had invested in a third car so that Grey and Willow could use it as they needed. It was blue Honda Civic with 5 seats. 

 

Willow and Scarlett welcome a baby girl! Thankfully Willow carried to full term and had a healthy baby and healthy delivery. They named her Isabel Meadow Pritzkern. They wanted her names to vaguely honor Willows parents, the Isa- beginning honoring Isaac, the el- honoring Ella, and Meadow had a similar feeling to Eden Laurel, in their mind, a serene nature feeling. 

 

Year 17 - 2036 

 

Eden - Willow gets her first job! Eden and Isaac were happy to help support Willow as she finished up high school and parented her daughter, but now that Willow has graduated she got her first job. She works at a grocery store as a cashier. 

 

Eden has a rough time after getting in an argument with Miles' father. He had strongly felt that Willow should place her daughter for adoption instead of being a teen parent and that Eden must not have parented well to have been a teen mum then have her child become a teen mum. It got rather heated and they needed some time to cool off before discussing again. Miles reasoned with his father about how much joy and experience Issy has brought to Willow's life and that ultimately they supported Willow in making her own choices. It took a while but eventually Miles father apologized and they smoothed things over. After all, he did love little Issy and considered her his great grand daughter. He had come to regard Willow as a grand daughter and his words were out of worry for Willow's future. 

 

Isaac  - Isaac and Eden are shocked when Willow announces she is pregnant again. While they don't inquire about how this happened, they do impress on Willow and Scarlett that they will need to step it up in terms of responsibility. They love Willow and Scarlett and their baby girl and they'll love this new baby too but a part of being a parent is responsibility. Scarlett is able to get another job with better hours to help pay for any of the new baby's needs and Scarlett and Willow work out how their children will be watched and cared for. Willow has a full term pregnancy and healthy delivery to another healthy little girl, Aria Eve Pritzkern. They chose Aria to honor Willows deceased step grandmother (Miles mother), whose name was Arlene. They chose Eve to honor her grandmother Margo, who's middle name was Eva. 

 

Isaac and Ella get in a big argument, with both parties feeling they weren't participating enough in house work and child responsibilities. Ella insists they get couples therapy to work on these problems. Isaac originally felt negatively towards it but found it was helpful in learning how to communicate better with Ella. They found ways to accommodate one anothers needs. 

 

Year 18 - 2037 

 

Eden - Miles had planned on writing a book for many years but this year he completed it! He works as a therapist who often accommodates patients by doing visits virtually, at their homes, or in his own home. His work includes a lot of accommodations that are unfortunately uncommon in mental health care, leading to many people who otherwise would be unable to get care are now getting it. He's very proud of his work and it slowly but surely began doing well in sales, which was a bonus feeling of pride. 

 

Unfortunately, Miles has another heart attack! He required surgery to fix some of the issue. He worked closely with his doctor to assure his needs would be met in hopes of this not happening again. He also worked harder to change his diet and lifestyle to help make sure this wouldn't happen again. 

 

Isaac  - Seeing how many ups and downs he and Ella had not only gotten through but managed to thrive after, Isaac decided to propose to Ella! Ella said yes!! Ella had a big family and wanted everyone there, so they ended up having a rather larger ceremony and reception. She chose the colors pink, navy, and gold for their theme. 

 

Later that year, Isaac is caught in another car accident! While he was okay, the car was totaled.  

 

Year 19 - 2038 

 

Eden - After a wonderful promotion at work, Eden decides to go on a family vacation to the water park. Especially with the health scares Miles has had lately, she has valued time together as a family more than ever and is thankful for the extra money that helped afford for so many people to go. Eden invited Isaac, Ella, and the kids to come along as well. Everyone had a blast! 

 

Isaac - Isaac enjoyed going to a family reunion this year for Ella's family. They reserved a hotel a little further north where more of Ella's family resided and had a wonderful time. With Ella having such a large family, she enjoyed seeing so many loved ones and having such a great time. 

 

This year, Bash grows a foot taller! 

 

Year 20 - 2039 

 

Eden - Eden had always wanted a pet dog, so they go to the local shelter and adopt one. She's a medium sized mix breed dog. Her name is Lula. Eden meets a nice guy while at work. While she starts feeling some romantic feelings towards him, she is faithful to Miles. She worked out her feelings to make sure things remain respectful. 

 

Isaac - This year turns out to be a very busy one! Isaac and Ella book an international vacation to Ireland! They and the kids, along with a lot of Ella's extended family, all go for a good time. Ella is of Irish decent and her family often enjoys vacations to Ireland, so she shows Isaac and the kids around. Isaac is surprised when his parents,  Owen and Jacqueline, invite him and the kids on an international vacation later on that year. Sawyer and his wife, Ruby Arabella {nee Holmes}, and their children, Finn Jasper Pritzkern, Wilder Everett Pritzkern, and Hazel Adeline Pritzkern

Osiris Solomon Bates (21) and Otto Tobias Jenkins (27)

 

Osiris "Ossy" and Otto are two men who met in elementary school. They hadn't always had an eye on the other, though. Otto was in 5th grade while Ossy was in kindergarten, so there weren't necessarily sparks flying. However, they did both stay in their childhood town of Phoenix, Arizona, and reconnected on a dating app when Ossy had just turned 19, and have been dating for two years. Ossy's parents disowned him when he began dating Otto, but both were legal adults at that point, so it wasn't a huge deal legally, just emotionally. Ossy is an aspiring baseball coach, using his bossy tendencies and feel for the game to his advantage, but hauls crates in and out of stores for a living. Otto has had a little more time to get situated into his career in graphic design, and is quite renowned in the field. Otto just as egotistical and forward as Ossy, meaning that they often fight for dominance, but they get along relatively well despite their unbalanced personalities. Ossy wants to reach his goals on the field, while Otto wants a big family.

Year 1: Some big little additions to the family

 

After almost 4 months of discussion, Ossy and Otto decide that Otto's dream of having a big family is a big possibility. With Ossy in, although he feels a bit too young to be a father, they debate adoption and surrogacy until they decide that they have enough money saved to pay a surrogate. Ossy actually has a sister who is willing to be their surrogate for very little, but the rest of Ossy's family has disowned him and will likely disown her too if she attempts to help Ossy. So, they decide to invest in a woman called Loren, who accepts their wages and carries Otto's child. Although the strange relationship that the two men have with Loren is slightly uncomfortable, they manage to become good friends while she carries the child. And thankfully, after 8 long months of them anxiously waiting for their child, Loren goes into early labor. All three panic, and Loren is rushed to the hospital, where the baby arrives just 40 minutes after. So much stress and anxiety surround the birth, but soon, little Arlo Jane is receiving premium care in the NICU, and Otto and Ossy marvel at their young daughter through the clear material of her crib-like structure. Arlo fights long and hard, and after 2 weeks, Ossy and Otto finally get to welcome her home to a spectacular nursery with her name stuck on the white wall, and a little metal barred crib with a grey loveseat next to it, and they sit for hours together on the chair, reading to her. Even Ossy's older sister, Lea, comes to visit the two men and her niece. 

 

But Arlo isn't the only member to join the family this year. Shortly after Arlo's scary birth, Ossy decides to give his little girl a lifelong companion, a cat. Otto reluctantly agrees, and the couple and their young daughter venture out to the animal shelter to find a kitten for Arlo to grow up alongside. They settle on a sweet grey kitten called November, or Nova for short. They make sure to keep all eyes on Nova when she's anywhere near their beautiful baby, and Nova proves to be a sweet and lazy little kitten. Ossy 21, Otto 27, Arlo 0, Nova 0

Year 2: A whole lot of tragedy

 

Ossy and Otto continue to dote on their little girls, but Ossy notices that it's getting harder for him to coach. He has constant stomachaches, which he attempts to remedy by going on various diets and doctors. Eventually, after 5 weeks since the pain started, Ossy gets a diagnosis that rocks his world: cancer. He's told that his odds of survival are ok, and that he likely won't succumb to the disease, but it's going to be a rough battle. Concerned that he won't get the family he wants with the man he loves, Otto frantically begs Ossy to have a child with a surrogate. Although the surgery won't be easy for someone in Ossy's condition, the doctors and Ossy complies, and the surrogate, Loren, becomes pregnant with Ossy's child, and both men cry themselves to sleep thinking that Ossy may never meet his only child. But nevertheless, Ossy is looking to be in much better condition, and is out of the hospital, by the time Loren reaches 4 months pregnant, and all looks well. Ossy's child is even a boy, the gender that he most wanted. But you can't win everything, and although Ossy got better, his child doesn't. 

 

Overnight, Loren is rushed to the hospital when she starts rapidly bleeding, and it didn't stop until she had miscarried Ossy's child. Both Ossy and Otto are devastated, and Loren and Lea come over to cry with them for a night after Arlo is in bed. But although the miscarriage was tragic, it didn't stop Ossy and Otto's burning passion for a lovely and healthy family. In fact, it made them want it even more. So they agreed to keep saving, despite the pain.
