DBf: Celyn Richard Ayers (18)
DGf: Poppy Demetria Howard (18)
Celyn and Poppy grew up as neighbors, living next door to each other since the age of six. They started dating at the age of fifteen and have barely left each other's side, especially as they prepare to head off for university. Celyn plans to study fitness health and Poppy wants to become a teacher.
YEAR 1

DD: Jayda Bronte Ayers (0)
Shortly before finishing their final year before university, Poppy fell ill. When her parents rushed her to the hospital, tests showed that she didn't have an illness at all. Her symptoms all pointed to a pregnancy several months along. Poppy and Celyn decided to keep the little one and raise her together. A few months later, they welcomed Jayda Bronte Ayers. Celyn and Poppy still plan to attend school, just much closer to home and each other than they had originally thought.

After moving in together to raise Jayda, Poppy and Celyn couldn't seem to keep their hands off each other. Less than a year after Jayda, Celyn and Poppy welcomed fraternal twins Collyn and Wynne to their little family, much to their parents' chagrin. Due to their growing family, Poppy has chosen to drop school to mother their daughters full time.

In the past year, Celyn has graduated university. A local fitness group recruited him right off the bat but due to Poppy needing help at home, Celyn has asked for fewer hours. Before, Poppy would turn to her mother, but after the twins and Maddox and still no marriage or even a proposal, her mother cut ties with her. Poppy has floundered since.

One day while out with all four kids in tow, Poppy pulled over the car when she saw flashing lights. Apparently, Collyn and Wynne had decided to take things from the store without asking Poppy to pay for it. The store had captured it on film and had sent the police after Poppy, who had to explain the situation while holding back tears. Needless to say, the twins didn't get to go out with Poppy for awhile after that.

Maddox refuses to look at his baby sister. After enjoying his spot as the youngest for four years, having someone younger than him has taken its toll on the toddler. He cries for attention more now, acting out whenever he thinks his parents have spent too much time with Dinah. His actions worry Poppy, but Celyn insists that the boy will outgrow it soon.

Poppy's youngest brother, Gilbert, recently moved in with them. Though their mother still refuses to talk to Poppy, claiming religious reasons, she completely shunned Gilbert altogether when he came out to her as gay. Mrs. Howard kicked her sixteen year old son out of the house, so Poppy and Celyn took the teen in.

Celyn's business started booming. People from overlooked communities in all the nearby towns have him listed as their go-to person. Having Gilbert as part of their family actually helped Celyn's business. When others like Gilbert heard how Celyn helped the teen, they decided to support him rather than someone else.

Gilbert recently moved in with his boyfriend of a year, Llewelyn Hale. They met at university when mutual friends set them up on a blind date. After going out for a year, they decided that living together off campus would save them money as well as take their relationship to the next level. Llewelyn brought with him his turtle named King Tut. Gilbert didn't realize how much he liked turtles until then.
Celyn's company continues to boom. Each passing year brings in more money, which means Celyn takes home more. With one of his employees leaving, Celyn decided to take on more of the day to day responsibilities and give himself a raise.

Within months of moving in together, Llewelyn and Gilbert broke up. Llewelyn wanted to move even faster and Gilbert said no. When Llewelyn didn't listen and instead proposed, Gilbert said no again. The next day, he packed up all of his belongings and moved back in with Poppy and Celyn.
Poppy and Celyn thought they were done having kids, but number ten said differently. Despite using birth control, Poppy got pregnant. Justin was elated to find out that he was going to be a big brother. He does on baby Kipling every second he gets.

Within months of his new relationship beginning, Gilbert's boyfriend, Drake, was diagnosed with cancer. Gilbert met Drake at his job, Drake working for a supplier for Gilbert's employer. The minute he heard the news, Gilbert moved in with Drake to help take care of him.
Poppy and Celyn's love life always seems to get a boost after having a baby, because they often end up pregnant again soon after. Once again, less than a year after Kipling's birth, Poppy became pregnant--with her third set of twins. Leighton and Rheanna make for twelve children for the Ayers.

While caring for Drake takes up a lot of his time, Gilbert has managed to work hard enough to get a promotion. He now acts as a shift manager at the store. It takes up a lot more of his time, but it allows him more money to help cover Drake's medical expenses.
Jayda got in a major argument with her parents over whether or not she was old enough to date. Her parents argued that she needed to be at least eighteen, old enough to potentially provide for herself and start a family, but she disagreed. Jayda believed she should be allowed to date now. The argument blew up and Jayda ran away. She currently lives with her best friend.

Rheanna and Leighton are big sisters! Evonne came into the world as yet another unplanned pregnancy for Celyn and Poppy. Poppy never pictured herself having thirteen kids, but she must admit that she loves every second of her crazy life.

The minute she turned eighteen, Jayda made her boyfriend of two years official by moving in with him. She started working as a waitress to cover ren't and tuition for one or two classes a semester. Since her parents won't pay for her classes after their argument, she has chosen to put herself through school even if it takes her five times as long to get her degree.
The night of their wedding, Gilbert and Drake got drop dead drunk. They were reckless and chose to drive themselves home even though they knew they shouldn't. They should have listened to their intuition. They got caught.
Gilbert and Drake's wedding also served as a family reunion of sorts for Poppy, Celyn, and some of their extended family. Poppy's mother has come around since the day she kicked Gilbert out of the house and she showed up to the wedding, much to everyone's surprise.

Jayda and Laurence welcomed their first children to their little family! Venetia and Natalia have been very good for the first time parents. Laurence works during the day while Jayda goes to school in the evening. They have their own system worked out for how to care for their twins.
In her first year at university, Wynne was swept off her feet by a bright young man from the Virgin Islands. Within months of meeting, they were married. Wynne moved with her husband, Leon Gladwyn, to the Virgin Islands during the months she isn't at school.
Drake's three year old nephew, Raphael, has moved in with Drake and Gilbert. Raphael's parents have lost custody of the boy. Raph is incredibly shy and took several weeks getting used to his new home and his Uncle Gilbert.
In what little free time she has, Poppy has taken up crafting. She sells her creations online as a small income supplement. Oftentimes the kids want to help her too, though she usually ends up keeping their creations or giving them away to family.

Collyn finally came out as gay to her parents this past year just before moving to the States for college. Why the States? Collyn has had a long distance girlfriend living there for the past two years. College seemed like the ideal time to move out and start their in person relationship.
Wynne and Leon have chosen not to start their family just yet, so Wynne suggested they get a pet. One day, Leon came home with a hamster. Wynne protested at first, saying that she meant a dog or a cat, but she eventually fell in love with the little guy.
Jayda got arrested. It all happened so fast that no one knew what was happening. Laurence had started sleeping with other women, citing Jayda's post partum mood as a damper for their love life. Jayda came home one day after taking the girls to the park to find Laurence in their bed with another woman. Jayda lost it. She started throwing things and hitting anything that moved. The other woman was hospitalized and Jayda lost the girls. They now live with Poppy and Celyn.
Drake and Gilbert decided after taking care of Raphael that they wanted kids of their own. They adopted a newborn baby girl this past year. Raphael has been very good with, treating her with such care. It brings joy to Drake's and Gilbert's hearts to see.
One day, Evalyn was out riding her bike, the next she had passed. As she was riding, a car hit her, causing her great injuries. The driver didn't stick around to see if she was okay. By the time emergency services were called, the twelve year old girl was in critical condition. She didn't live to see the next morning. Poppy and Celyn are devastated.

In her grief, Poppy brought home a stray rabbit in need of care. She called it Helen of Troy, thinking of Evalyn's middle name. She has nursed the rabbit back to health, the way she wishes she could have nursed her baby girl back to health after her accident.
Drake and Gilbert adopted a kitten this past year. Its stripes and wide eyes reminded Gilbert of the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland so they named it Cheshire. Zula adores playing with the kitten, and the kitten tolerates all her squeezing and grabbing.
Because of her arrest, Jayda has lost a lot. Her job cut back on her hours, making her only part time. She lost her apartment. She lost her daughters. She lost her boyfriend. She lost all hope. She has been incredibly depressed since it all went down and Poppy is worried.
Collyn cut back on her own hours at work to focus on school. Her grades were showing how much time she had to put into her schoolwork, which was essentially none. Now that she works only part time, Collyn has more time to keep her grades up and spend time with Chanté.
Parker the hamster died. He got very sick just months after coming home with Leon. When he died, Leon and Wynne held a little hamster funeral for him... and then replaced him with a blue betta fish the next day. Wynne named it Dory.

Wynne and Leon decided to start their family this year and almost immediately got pregnant with twins. Kyrie and Sawyer are doing very well. Wynne is an instinctual mother and Leon is a great dad. The twins are in the best hands.
At Poppy's insistence Jayda has started seeing a therapist. Her therapist suggested that maybe taking care of something other than herself would help Jayda find her will to live. Because she didn't think she could handle something more high maintenance, Jayda bought a fish and named it Joy.
With Zula turning two, Drake and Gilbert decided it was time to adopt again. They were able to adopt another newborn, a girl named Wynona. Zula has been taking the transition from youngest child to big sister quite well, much to Drake and Gilbert's relief.
Collyn and Chanté have been together since they were sixteen, almost five years. On Chanté's birthday, Collyn surprised her with a puppy. Around the puppy's neck was tied a ribbon with a ring. Inside was engraved the words, "Marry me?" And that's the story of how Collyn became engaged.
With most of the kids in school now, Poppy has had more time for her crafting. It has started to bring in more money, a promotion of sorts. Poppy loves the feeling of being able to go out and buy something for Celyn without cutting into their budget.

Jayda's hours were cut even further after she started flaking out. With less than twelve hours a week, she quit her job and now lives in constant search of something new. She's spending all her free time fighting to get her daughter's back.
With her burgeoning success as a crafter, Poppy has started a full-fledged business. She specializes in decorations for birthdays and weddings, blankets for newborns, and wall art.
Maddox has moved out. His apartment felt lonely and empty so he bought a lizard in an attempt to liven the place up a bit. Mack hasn't done much. Maddox still finds himself lonely more days than not.
Collyn and Chanté agreed that children aren't in their sights... but perhaps a small menagerie is. Chanté's friend was giving away bunnies since her rabbit had a litter and she needed to get rid of them. Chanté grabbed one, without running it by Collyn. They argued at first but then Collyn looked at the little guy and said he looked like a Jared and that was that.
Like mother, like daughter. Wynne has given birth to a little boy not much more than a year after the twins! Simon has been a very laidback baby, much calmer than either Sawyer or Kyrie when they were his age.
When Gilbert and Drake chose to adopt again thisnyear, they decided to adopt a child a little older. They were matched with a little boy named August. August clicked immediately with both men as well as the rest of the children in the household.

Maddox may not have found true love but he's found himself someone who's okay with carrying his babies. He started a casual relationship with his neighbor, Gwenevere Winterbottom, when she got pregnant. He asked her to move in and they've chosen to raise their twin daughters together and try to make things work.
With her daughter still living with her parents, Jayda has continued to work to get them back. She upgraded her fish to a cat, calling it Sadness. She jokes that this way when she says she has to feed her Sadness, she means her pet and not her emotions. She is getting so close to having her daughter's back.
Wynne has decided that she likes having children. She gave birth for the third year in a row, welcoming another son. Leon has asked her if she will ever get tired of being pregnant and giving birth, but she told him that it's the most wonderful experience in her life and she wouldn't give it up for anything.
Collyn has gotten her first teaching job! She works as a substitute at a small private school nearby for those who want their children to have more personalized learning. She loves it.
Over the last few years, Drake has started developing a drinking problem. He got into a major accident this year because of it, wrecking his car and getting in trouble with the law. Gilbert has given him a warning, asking Drake if he can help him in his recovery. Drake seems willing to do better.
Poppy's crafting is going so well, she has hired her older daughters as helpers. She keeps making more and more money, a feeling she never experienced before now but finds exhilarating.

After all of her hard work, Jayda has finally regained custody of her daughters! She sobbed with joy for days after their return. Venetia and Natalia almost didn't remember their mother, having been with their grandparents for so long with little to no contact with Jayda. Jayda can't believe her luck has finally turned around.
Dinah left for university this past year. Her first semester proved rough for her, anxieties and insecurities she didn't know she had cropping up on a daily basis, making her daily functions harder. She got permission from the school to get a pet as an emotional support. She purchased a bird and named him Petrucio.
Maddox has experienced a pay cut this year. His workplace needed some budget cuts and he was one of the unlucky ones it affected. It's caused a lot of tension between him and Gwenevere. Half the time, she isn't around anymore. He worries their arrangement may come to an end soon.
Wynne was super excited to be welcoming another child into their family. Many thought the Gladwyns insane for having so many children back to back, but Wynne loved it. Unfortunately, number five didn't make it. They had just found out their baby was a boy when Wynne experience a painful miscarriage. They named the baby Cedric Gerald.
Drake's drinking problem only got worse. This year, he got into yet another accident, this time killing someone else. Gilbert has decided that having Drake around was endangering the kids and so he has filed for divorce.
Collyn and Chanté have decided to add a third partner to their relationship. Cori Larson used to live down the hall from them. They welcomed her into their apartment for an experimental threesome and it turned into something more. The three have continued their polyamorous relationship since.
Imagine Poppy's surprise when she found herself pregnant once again at forty-three. Anise and Jillian are her miracle babies, babies she never thought she'd have. Her older children who have children of their own just groan thinking that their parents still have an active love life.

Poppy and Celyn's love life always seems to get a boost after having a baby, because they often end up pregnant again soon after. Once again, less than a year after Kipling's birth, Poppy became pregnant--with her third set of twins. Leighton and Rheanna make for twelve children for the Ayers.

Jayda got in a major argument with her parents over whether or not she was old enough to date. Her parents argued that she needed to be at least eighteen, old enough to potentially provide for herself and start a family, but she disagreed. Jayda believed she should be allowed to date now.

The night of their wedding, Gilbert and Drake got drop dead drunk. They were reckless and chose to drive themselves home even though they knew they shouldn't. They should have listened to their intuition. They got caught.
Gilbert and Drake's wedding also served as a family reunion of sorts for Poppy, Celyn, and some of their extended family. Poppy's mother has come around since the day she kicked Gilbert out of the house and she showed up to the wedding, much to everyone's surprise.

Jayda and Laurence welcomed their first children to their little family! Venetia and Natalia have been very good for the first time parents. Laurence works during the day while Jayda goes to school in the evening. They have their own system worked out for how to care for their twins.
In her first year at university, Wynne was swept off her feet by a bright young man from the Virgin Islands. Within months of meeting, they were married. Wynne moved with her husband, Leon Gladwyn, to the Virgin Islands during the months she isn't at school.
Drake's three year old nephew, Raphael, has moved in with Drake and Gilbert. Raphael's parents have lost custody of the boy. Raph is incredibly shy and took several weeks getting used to his new home and his Uncle Gilbert.
In what little free time she has, Poppy has taken up crafting. She sells her creations online as a small income supplement. Oftentimes the kids want to help her too, though she usually ends up keeping their creations or giving them away to family.

Collyn finally came out as gay to her parents this past year just before moving to the States for college. Why the States? Collyn has had a long distance girlfriend living there for the past two years. College seemed like the ideal time to move out and start their in person relationship.
Wynne and Leon have chosen not to start their family just yet, so Wynne suggested they get a pet. One day, Leon came home with a hamster. Wynne protested at first, saying that she meant a dog or a cat, but she eventually fell in love with the little guy.
Jayda got arrested. It all happened so fast that no one knew what was happening. Laurence had started sleeping with other women, citing Jayda's post partum mood as a damper for their love life. Jayda came home one day after taking the girls to the park to find Laurence in their bed with another woman. Jayda lost it. She started throwing things and hitting anything that moved. The other woman was hospitalized and Jayda lost the girls. They now live with Poppy and Celyn.
Drake and Gilbert decided after taking care of Raphael that they wanted kids of their own. They adopted a newborn baby girl this past year. Raphael has been very good with, treating her with such care. It brings joy to Drake's and Gilbert's hearts to see.
One day, Evalyn was out riding her bike, the next she had passed. As she was riding, a car hit her, causing her great injuries. The driver didn't stick around to see if she was okay. By the time emergency services were called, the twelve year old girl was in critical condition. She didn't live to see the next morning. Poppy and Celyn are devastated.

In her grief, Poppy brought home a stray rabbit in need of care. She called it Helen of Troy, thinking of Evalyn's middle name. She has nursed the rabbit back to health, the way she wishes she could have nursed her baby girl back to health after her accident.
Drake and Gilbert adopted a kitten this past year. Its stripes and wide eyes reminded Gilbert of the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland so they named it Cheshire. Zula adores playing with the kitten, and the kitten tolerates all her squeezing and grabbing.
Because of her arrest, Jayda has lost a lot. Her job cut back on her hours, making her only part time. She lost her apartment. She lost her daughters. She lost her boyfriend. She lost all hope. She has been incredibly depressed since it all went down and Poppy is worried.
Collyn cut back on her own hours at work to focus on school. Her grades were showing how much time she had to put into her schoolwork, which was essentially none. Now that she works only part time, Collyn has more time to keep her grades up and spend time with Chanté.
Parker the hamster died. He got very sick just months after coming home with Leon. When he died, Leon and Wynne held a little hamster funeral for him... and then replaced him with a blue betta fish the next day. Wynne named it Dory.

Wynne and Leon decided to start their family this year and almost immediately got pregnant with twins. Kyrie and Sawyer are doing very well. Wynne is an instinctual mother and Leon is a great dad. The twins are in the best hands.
At Poppy's insistence Jayda has started seeing a therapist. Her therapist suggested that maybe taking care of something other than herself would help Jayda find her will to live. Because she didn't think she could handle something more high maintenance, Jayda bought a fish and named it Joy.
With Zula turning two, Drake and Gilbert decided it was time to adopt again. They were able to adopt another newborn, a girl named Wynona. Zula has been taking the transition from youngest child to big sister quite well, much to Drake and Gilbert's relief.
Collyn and Chanté have been together since they were sixteen, almost five years. On Chanté's birthday, Collyn surprised her with a puppy. Around the puppy's neck was tied a ribbon with a ring. Inside was engraved the words, "Marry me?" And that's the story of how Collyn became engaged.
With most of the kids in school now, Poppy has had more time for her crafting. It has started to bring in more money, a promotion of sorts. Poppy loves the feeling of being able to go out and buy something for Celyn without cutting into their budget.

Jayda's hours were cut even further after she started flaking out. With less than twelve hours a week, she quit her job and now lives in constant search of something new. She's spending all her free time fighting to get her daughter's back.
With her burgeoning success as a crafter, Poppy has started a full-fledged business. She specializes in decorations for birthdays and weddings, blankets for newborns, and wall art.
Maddox has moved out. His apartment felt lonely and empty so he bought a lizard in an attempt to liven the place up a bit. Mack hasn't done much. Maddox still finds himself lonely more days than not.
Collyn and Chanté agreed that children aren't in their sights... but perhaps a small menagerie is. Chanté's friend was giving away bunnies since her rabbit had a litter and she needed to get rid of them. Chanté grabbed one, without running it by Collyn. They argued at first but then Collyn looked at the little guy and said he looked like a Jared and that was that.
Like mother, like daughter. Wynne has given birth to a little boy not much more than a year after the twins! Simon has been a very laidback baby, much calmer than either Sawyer or Kyrie when they were his age.
When Gilbert and Drake chose to adopt again thisnyear, they decided to adopt a child a little older. They were matched with a little boy named August. August clicked immediately with both men as well as the rest of the children in the household.

Maddox may not have found true love but he's found himself someone who's okay with carrying his babies. He started a casual relationship with his neighbor, Gwenevere Winterbottom, when she got pregnant. He asked her to move in and they've chosen to raise their twin daughters together and try to make things work.
With her daughter still living with her parents, Jayda has continued to work to get them back. She upgraded her fish to a cat, calling it Sadness. She jokes that this way when she says she has to feed her Sadness, she means her pet and not her emotions. She is getting so close to having her daughter's back.
Wynne has decided that she likes having children. She gave birth for the third year in a row, welcoming another son. Leon has asked her if she will ever get tired of being pregnant and giving birth, but she told him that it's the most wonderful experience in her life and she wouldn't give it up for anything.
Collyn has gotten her first teaching job! She works as a substitute at a small private school nearby for those who want their children to have more personalized learning. She loves it.
Over the last few years, Drake has started developing a drinking problem. He got into a major accident this year because of it, wrecking his car and getting in trouble with the law. Gilbert has given him a warning, asking Drake if he can help him in his recovery. Drake seems willing to do better.
Poppy's crafting is going so well, she has hired her older daughters as helpers. She keeps making more and more money, a feeling she never experienced before now but finds exhilarating.

After all of her hard work, Jayda has finally regained custody of her daughters! She sobbed with joy for days after their return. Venetia and Natalia almost didn't remember their mother, having been with their grandparents for so long with little to no contact with Jayda. Jayda can't believe her luck has finally turned around.
Dinah left for university this past year. Her first semester proved rough for her, anxieties and insecurities she didn't know she had cropping up on a daily basis, making her daily functions harder. She got permission from the school to get a pet as an emotional support. She purchased a bird and named him Petrucio.
Maddox has experienced a pay cut this year. His workplace needed some budget cuts and he was one of the unlucky ones it affected. It's caused a lot of tension between him and Gwenevere. Half the time, she isn't around anymore. He worries their arrangement may come to an end soon.
Wynne was super excited to be welcoming another child into their family. Many thought the Gladwyns insane for having so many children back to back, but Wynne loved it. Unfortunately, number five didn't make it. They had just found out their baby was a boy when Wynne experience a painful miscarriage. They named the baby Cedric Gerald.
Drake's drinking problem only got worse. This year, he got into yet another accident, this time killing someone else. Gilbert has decided that having Drake around was endangering the kids and so he has filed for divorce.
Collyn and Chanté have decided to add a third partner to their relationship. Cori Larson used to live down the hall from them. They welcomed her into their apartment for an experimental threesome and it turned into something more. The three have continued their polyamorous relationship since.
Imagine Poppy's surprise when she found herself pregnant once again at forty-three. Anise and Jillian are her miracle babies, babies she never thought she'd have. Her older children who have children of their own just groan thinking that their parents still have an active love life.
