DS: Graham Roman Hapburn (3)
Three and a half years ago, Lolo and Spencer got married. Wanting to drown out everything about Soren, they had a giant wedding, inviting everyone they knew, no matter how well (or not so well) they knew them. And it worked. This wedding was just about as giant as a couple of average income people could afford. On their wedding night, for the first time since they had started dating, birth control was not a part of their intimacy, which resulted in their son, Graham, now three. He tends to be on the quieter side of things and has definitely taken a shining to his older half-sister Cataleya.
Almost five years ago, before Lolo and Spencer were married, before they were even engaged, Blakely and Reid started dating. Some people had foreseen it, seeing as how they had become so close, but Lolo was surprised when her daughter announced that she was dating her (at the time) potential step-father’s son. Neither really ended up caring. Now, five years later, Blakely and Reid are engaged themselves. Not only that, but not too long ago, Blakely gave birth to their first child together, a son, Ryker Jeremy Greyson Hapburn. They call him RJ for short.
Adriel has also started dating. His girlfriend is the younger sister of one of his roommates at college. They met and at first they hated each other. But in recent months, they started to realize just how much of that hatred was actually real… which was none. As soon as they realized that, things picked up fast. They’ve now been dating for three or four months.

-ADS/ADS: Ashton Mark Stevens-Caruso “Ash” / Jameson Miles Stevens-Caruso “Jamie” (2)
Cas and Roger have grown their family. Two years ago, they adopted another little girl, Catherine Ivy, from the United States. Katie got along quite well with her older sister Makenna and the two are now practically inseparable, despite the three year age gap. They are certainly the best of friends, which makes things much easier for their parents. This past year, they also adopted twin boys of the age of two. Ash and Jamie are both pretty quite, but that’s partially because they’re still getting used to their new home. It isn’t easy being adopted.

-DD: Amanda Cheyenne Killingsworth (11)
-DS: Collin Jasper Caruso (8)
-DS/DD: Elliot Jeffrey Caruso / Haley Jordan Killingsworth (5)
Gray and Felicity have decided that four kids—two of each—is more than enough for them. They are happy with their little family, unique as they might be. In fact, their uniqueness is something that they enjoy the most. Amanda is highly successful in school, a very bright student, someone that everyone loves. Collin tends to be a bit rambunctious for most and therefore has had some trouble making friends. He often gets in trouble at school and at home. Elliot and Haley have just started kindergarten. Gray and Felicity wanted them put in separate classes so as not to encourage them being too inseparable. They believe it to be unhealthy. Elliot attends kindergarten in the morning, and Haley attends in the afternoon.

-DD: Brylee Annabel Caruso (15)
-DD: Keira Anastasia Caruso (7)
-DS: Jensen Titus Caruso (5)
King convinced Ada that a five year old and a seven year old were enough for them. Ada at first disagreed, wanting more children, but after awhile, she conceded with King’s point of view. She’s realized how much she missed working and has started going back to work while the kids are at school. Brylee has started showing some interest in boys lately, but hasn’t asked if she could date anyone. Which is perfectly fine by King. He hates to see his baby girl so grown up.

exDBf: Dean Martin Bedingfield (20) [Diana's twin]
DGf: Rebecca Quinn Lemmon “Quinn” (19)
In recent years, Libby has let go of her tight bond with her brother. She broke up with Dean and has started dating a girl named Rebecca—or Quinn, rather. Libby realized that her connection to her brother was causing her to suppress who she really is. Once she let go of that, she was able to come to terms with herself. Unfortunately, things have become rather tense between herself and Gus due to all this self-discovery.

DH: Jared Myles Woolsey (21)
-DD: Rylee Jade Woolsey (nb)
Romy and Jared got married in a small ceremony about a year ago. Soon afterwards, they discovered that Romy was expecting their first child. Just recently, she gave birth to their daughter, Rylee Jade. Romy has decided to drop college to be a full-time mom to her little girl. Jared is continuing in college and hopes to find a good paying job soon after graduation in a couple of years. In the meantime, he’s working two jobs in addition to his schooling in order to provide for his small family.

DS: Lance Augustus Caruso "Gus” (20) [Libby and Romy's triplet]
DGf: Diana Miranda Bedingfield (20) [Dean's twin]
Gus and Diana are still continuing strong. Most people expected them to break up as soon as Libby broke up with Dean. The fact that they have been going strong for five years now has taken everyone aback. Unbeknownst to most, they have started having relationship problems, but they figured it would be best to hide them for now. Give it a few years and see what happens.

DS/DS: Brantley Nicolas Dwyer “Andy” / Karter Malachi Dwyer “Artie” (1)
As per usual, a lot has happened in the Dwyer family in the five years. Three years ago, Ally gave birth to twin girls, Reggie and Moira. Two years later, she gave birth to another set of twins—boys, Andy and Artie. While the older children are off at school, the two sets of twins have become quite close to each other. Reggie and Andy are inseparable as are Moira and Artie, both sets being quite similar in personality.
Meanwhile, in the Atwell household, Una and Rhys have added three new children: Declan, four; Damian, two; and Daisy, newborn. Derek is adjusting well to being a big brother and honestly loves it more than any other little boy Una has seen. All four of the Atwell children are slightly obnoxious, slightly hyperactive little sweethearts. They may be loud, they may be rowdy, but they are the kindest little children around. Una and Rhys have come to the decision that Daisy will probably be their last child.
Four years ago, Remy announced to Louis that she was expecting. By this point in time, they had been dating for several years and had reached the point of intimacy, but for some (at the time) unknown reason, Louis jumped to the conclusion that Remy had cheated on him. After they broke up, it came to light that it had actually been Louis who had been cheating on Remy. He had been for quite some time. Turns out, he actually hated the slow pace of their relationship. Remy ended up giving birth to a son and naming him Bradley. About a year after her break up, she met a man named Maximus Murdock, Max for short. They hit it off and are now engaged.
Hank and Gemma’s baby ended up a little girl. They named her Adalyn but they call her Ada. She is now five and starting kindergarten in the fall. She is super enthusiastic and ready to learn. The only thing she doesn’t like about going off to school is the fact that that means leaving behind her baby sister, Evie, who is now one.
Arlie, at twenty-two, has finally recently gotten herself a boyfriend. Timothy Vincent is three years older than she is. They’ve known each other for several years now but only a couple months ago started dating. Pacing is going well, not too fast, not too slow. People have been hoping they would get together now for a couple years, so it made many people very happy that were finally going out.
Fatima has been dating a young man two years older than she is for about two years now. She was sixteen when he was eighteen. Due to this, they had to be careful about things, especially with Sean's hopes to become a teacher. He can’t be stuck with a record when it comes to things like this. Fortunately for them, Fatima recently turned eighteen. Even still, they are pleased with where they are in their relationship. They have a relatively healthy relationship, too, so everyone around them expects that they will end up getting married.
“The world is indeed full of peril and in it there are many dark places.
But still there is much that is fair. And though in all lands, love is now
mingled with grief, it still grows, perhaps, the greater.”
