Callie & Katy - 20 years and 14 kids later...
[Callie is Egyptian born to an English father and Egyptian mother; she has straight brown hair and hazel eyes. After her mother passed away when she was 17, Callie moved to England with her father. Katy was born and raised in Scotland with Irish and Spanish heritage; she moved to England to pursue her music career. Katy has wavy blonde hair and dark brown eyes. Callie has been in the food industry since 18 and met Katy when she was sent as part of the team to cater for a festival where Katy was performing with her band.]

Katy Cordelia Donahue [25; wavy, blonde hair + d.brown eyes ~ backing vocals/piano]
Location: Dorset, England.
***
1) Callie and Katy use a sperm donor and IVF for Callie to get pregnant. Because of her health and age, only two viable eggs are placed in Callie's uterus so the couple are shocked when - at a very early scan - three heartbeats are detected! Callie and Katy's babies are safely delivered by C-section at 32 weeks. Their daughter weighed 3lbs 12oz while twin sons were just 3lbs 2oz and 3lbs 4oz at birth. The babies have taken traits from Callie and their biological dad.

Pal and Rajni were married two months ago. They met six years ago in college, where Pal studied economics and Rajni studied early childhood education. After college, Pal moved to California, where he opened an authentic Hawaiian restaurant to indulge his love of cooking. After college, Rajni, an international student, returned to India. Though they dated in college, Pal and Rajni split up before the start of their senior year. Just a few months after graduation, they rekindled their relationship, long distance. Eighteen months later, they secured a visa for Rajni to come to the United States so that she and Pal could get married. The two of them live in a one bedroom apartment--since most of Pal's income has gone into improvements for his restaurant and Rajni's new job as a preschool teacher hasn't started yet.

Pal isn't too fond of the bird; however, he is happy to see the joy he brings Rajni.

Charlie and Violet leave Aqua in the capable hands of Charlie's coworker, and head off to Thailand for 2 weeks. It's a pretty eye-opening experience, but also a much-needed break, and they're both very glad they took the time away from work to relax.
Year 4 (2021) - Random - unexpected pregnancy
