Mara <23, Dec.25, Married to Moses, 1mo along - doesn't know pregnant, undecided if she wants to know genders || X> ||
Logan <N/A, Jul.4> ||
Casey <N/A, Jul.4>
Mara wiped her hands on her apron, drying off the water from the sink as she turned around and leaned against the counter. Lately the twenty-three year young woman had been feeling sluggish and a bit under the weather throughout the days, and it was a bit concerning to her... especially since it could potentially affect her acting and modelling career ... let alone being in the bakery. The last thing she needed was to make everyone in Aspen sick if she really was getting sick. Sighing as her thoughts began to stress her out, Mar took a few deep breaths, pulled a glass out of her cabinet, filled it with the cool and refreshing tap water, and took a few sips before replacing it on the counter again. Her break was almost up and she needed to get back down to the bakery
before the dessert rush. Luckily today was a short day though, and within a few hours she could head back upstairs to her families home where she would be able to reunite with her husband and their adorable adopted son.

Magnus <32, Mar.18, Dating Maddy || X> ||
Jade <8, Jun.5, 2nd Grade || X>
"C'mon kiddo" Magnus said, ushering his daughter back inside the firehouse as he scrambled for his timecard and swiped out. "We gotta go see mom, make sure she's doing good" the firefighter added lightly as he picked his pouting eight-year-old up, swinging her in the air for a second. "Now drop that 'tude Jade" Mag glanced at her seriously. It wasn't much of a secret that Jade could get jealous and bratty in less than the blink of an eye... and ever since Magnus had started dating a lady that was not his first-born's biological mom she had been making much of a stink... and sadly for the little lady nothing would be changing anytime soon, especially since they now lived together and Maddy was expecting.
"Why do we always haveta go see
her" Jade complained as Magnus swung the child up into the air. She had been enjoying herself. Jade didn't understand what was so special about Madelaine .... and she didn't really like calling her mom... but she did it because her daddy had told her to... and that she wouldn't get to play with Sabrina any more if she wasn't nice to Maddy. She also didn't like having to move in with her when she had liked the apartment next to Sabrina's perfectly well. Even though she liked playing with her friend, Sabrina, the curly haired elementary schooler found her wierd sometimes because she would do things like a bazillion times!

Delilah <24, Oct.15, Married to August, 8mo along - knows genders> || X>||
Sarah <N/A, Nov.10> ||
Remus <N/A, Nov.9>
Lil found herself walking ... no, scratch that,
waddling down the hallway from the bedroom she shared with her husband, August, of almost three years to the living room. While the pretty blonde hated being cooped up she didn't really have much choice now. Delilah felt closer and closer to popping each day, and while she was thrilled to finally be having children it was getting to the point of intolerable between clothing not fitting great, sleepless nights, never having energy and not being able to do some of the things that she loved like taking a date-night trail ride with her hubby down to Maroon Lake. Easing her way down onto the reclining, super plushy, arm chair they owned, Didi found herself sighing as the Pressure on her hips and back ceased some. Her entire life she had wanted a large number of children, coming from a family of fiive children herself, but this whole twins thing was not something she bargained for. Even though she was thrilled to be so close to meeting her little cowboy and cowgirl she was over this 'oh so magical' pregnancy thing.

Olivier <28, Jun.23, Married to Zoe || X> ||
Aerlyn <3, Sept.29, 1st Pre-K || X>
Oli had been up since dawn trying to fix a particularly aggravating section of fence that seemed to break more often than any other section. Lifting his hat up slightly to wipe the back of his left forearm across his brown, Olivier glanced up at the sky. It might be mid october, but it sure as hell felt like the middle of july when you were struggling with fence mesh that appeared to have a mind of its own. Glancing at his ld-school flip phone for the time, Oli gave a low whistle and waited for the trusty companion who had tagged along, Piston, to come bounding back over, tail up and wagging happily. "Alright boy, looks like that'll have to do it for today" he said rather bleakly as he bent down to scratch the tanish white dog behind the ear for a moment. Climbing back up into his truck after the dog hoped into the back of the pickup, the local farmer drove the two miles back to the house, not wanting to walk both ways with all his tools.
Walking through the door, Oli hung up his stetson and manuevered to the sink, washing and drying his hands quickly before catching his little girl, Aery, mid-leap off the steps. Sure, it was dangerous... but it was something of a tradition now. "Hey girl, where's mama at?" he asked, planting a quick kiss on the toddler's head before putting her down and holding her hand, listening while Aerlyn led her papa to Zoe, his pregnant wife. Olivier found it exciting that both his wife and his sister were expecting at the same time and were due around roughly the same time. It was also exciting for him to be having another child. Oli had never realy given it much thought about how many children would be nice to have, but he knew he definitely wanted more than the one daughter they already had.
"Hey baby" Oli smiled softly when he came into contact with his wife "How're ya feelin' today?" he asked, kissing her cheek quickly.

Benji <27, Sept.15, Married to Kasta || X>
Benji smiled happily, laughing softly as he 'tossed' his one year old in the air a few times. While the young man loved his work and his amazing wife ... the amazing woman he had snagged up so many years ago after both of them had moved to the same city in Germany, the rest being history, he absolutely adored his son. To Benji, Carlos was the apple of his eye. His little buddy that was the perfect mix of himself and his wife, and while the couple was hoping to extend their family by at least one more, Carl would always be special... and not just because he had a more 'mainstream' name either. 'Normal' names were not exactly something that either Benji or Kasta had acquired at birth, and they both enjoyed the more unusual names... but Carlos David just fit pefectly, plus it gave a special sort of recognition to each of their fathers.

Walter <31, Jun.21, Married to Cassandra || X>
"Very good guys. I think you all are ready for opening night and will do awesome." Walter said as he stood up after a moment and re-opened the notebook he had closed just moments before. Currently he was sitting in the Wheeler Opera House, watching his current cast for the community theater program he ran and directed (in addition to the middle school and high school theater programs), the Aspen variation of the production, Hamilton, and he was very proud of how it was turning out... especially since opening night wasn't for another two weeks and the new hit musical was still relatively new... the fact they even had the rights for it was astounding. "You all amazing, so I just have a few nit-picky notes." he continued quickly, standing a little straighter as most of the cast glued their eyes to his wandering frame. "Emma, Alexa and Sierra, I know Patsy wanted you all to do that little twirly thing during Schuyler Sisters ... but it still looks a little .... hmm... a little... haphazard. You can still do it, but three need to be closer to one another during the circle and not hitting each other with the twirl, so I think we should do that again once more before we part for the day. Bryan you did great. Keep up the good vocal work, you are portraying philip brilliantly. Jacob, you also did very well today, thanks for stepping in last minute as young Philip. It's a lot more believable. Everyone except the sisters, Hamilton, Laurens and Father Schuyler are free to go. I just want to see you six run the Schuyler Sisters, Satisfied, Burn and Helpless once more, then you are all free for the day. Let's take fifteen and we'll re gather after the break."
As Frankie dismissed the majority of his cast, he stepped outside as they left and pulled out his galaxy edge. The Bulgarian native was still getting used to the new phone, but he was catching on all-right. Scrolling through his favorites, Walt clicked Cassandra's name and let the phone ring, waiting for his beauty to pick up. Lately he had been more excited than ever. Cassie was really starting to show a lot now that she was about half done with her pregnancy, and fatherhood made Walter uber excited and yet also beyond terrified at the same time.

Giselle <22, Nov.13, Married to Arthur, 6mo along - doesn't know gender, doesn't want to know || X> ||
Ryan <2, Oct.31 || X> ||
Jane <N/A, Feb.14>
Humming softly as she lifted her foot gently and precariously off the pedal that kept her sewing machine running, Giselle glanced around before pulling the rest of the fabric off the machine. It was perfect for the nursery. She had begun this quilt four months ago when she found out she would be having another baby, just as she had done when she found out about Ryan. As the thought of her toddler came across her mind, Giselle stood up and pursed her lips slightly. Where
was her happy-go-lucky two year old? hopefully he wasn't bothering daddy. Her poor husband seemed like he was having a hard time lately, and caring for a toddler probably wasn't something he needed to be responsible for at the moment. As she wandered out of her sewing room, Marvel the runty Spotted Genet hoped onto her shoulder. It took the brunette slightly by surprise, but he had been doing that for almost a month now, so she was able to 'recover' quickly, only stumbling for a step or two generally. As she made her way through the home she let out a sigh of relief and smiled happily when she saw them together, Ryan not being an overbearing toddler. "How are my two men today?" she asked gently, taking a seat next to them.

Andromeda <27, Jan.1, Dating Turner, 3mo along - doesn't know pregnant {find out at 6mo}, doesn't want to know gender || X> ||
Otto <N/A, May.30>
Andromeda was still in her pajamas, and hadn't risen from her somewhat peaceful slumber until about ten this morning. Last night had been a bit rough. The blonde had been up four times in the span of three hours just to run to the bathroom. This was the fourth night in a row this had happened, but she was determined to self-help herself... she didn't want to be going to the doctor... especially since it was probably some mix between a stomach bug and her body suddenly becoming sensitive to certain types of foods... after all, all of the dinners she had been eating lately were acidic and included a vast number of spices... so maybe that was the issue.
As she pulled the last dish out of their dishwasher, Andy stood up and stretched, arching her back. She hadn't seen her wonderful boyfriend all day... the last she could recall was murmuring something incohesive this morning when he said something about leaving to get a few things done.

Paige <29, Dec.21, Married to Alex, 5mo along - finds out gender at 6mo> || X> ||
Nathaniel <4, Oct.12, 2nd Pre-K || X> ||
Georgiana <N/A, Mar.14>
Paige rested an arm lightly over her stomach which seemed to be getting bigger everyday... it was definitely growing faster than it did when she was pregnant with Nathaniel. Overall though, Paige didn't mind. After all, it was now obvious she was expecting and not just looking as though she had eaten too many sweets. The brunette sat at her desk, a few books stacked in the far left corner, a desk lamp in the right corner, a stack of lined, loose-leaf paper pushed to the end of the large surface in front of her, and a handmade pen holder on top for ease of access and to ensure the safety of her blank papers. Directly in front of her sat about thirty pages, completely scribbled containing words upon words upon words... and a fair amount of scribbles, doodles and cross-outs accompanying them. The twenty-something year old was ambitious and never settled for less-than perfection... so much so that every time she nearly finished a story she would read it over, realize there was so much left unanswered and go back only to add more. This would be her first novel, a simple one really ... but she had already rewritten and added to it over twelve times and it had been a work in the making for over five years now.
Placing her pen down after a few more minutes, the bookshop owner slid the papers she had just been writing on into the top drawer of her desk and turned the little golden key to lock it before standing, straightening her dress and heading out from behind the clerk counter "Goodbye, I'm leaving for the day and I have off tomorrow for an appointment, so it's just you two and Carla" the blue-eyed woman reminded her two employees; Jimmy a tall young man of almost twenty-two and Cassandra a tiny young lady in her last year of high school. "If you need anything just contact me" she added after a moment before leaving Candelight Books with a warm half-smile on her face. Time to go home and see her two favorite men in the world.

Eleanor <17, Sept.2, Dating Yannick || X>
"Have a good rest of the day Jorgensens!" Ellie called as her last table for the day left and her mom came out from the back to help her finish busing the tables. Eleanor was grateful that her parents were always so kind and helpful with her, but she wished they would close the restaurant even if just for a few nights to allow themselves some time for remourse. It hadn't even been three full weeks since they put Niklos in the ground and it was blatantly visible in their eyes how hollow and lost they still were. After all, Niklos and Eleanor were the pride and Joy of Una and Alstrados. They had always been a close-knit family, so this came as a particularly hard blow.
Once everything was cleaned up for the night, the family went back home ... it was almost as if her parents were on a never-ending cycle of work-sleep-repeat. It was heartbreaking in her opinion... but she couldn't focus on that too much. She had two papers and a major test coming up this week. Thankfully the seventeen year old had an amazing boyfriend who was able to keep her sane. After spending some quality time with her animals she headed upstairs to her brothers room. She wanted to look through his stuff, see if she could hold onto anything for memories or if she could offer certain things, such as some of his training gear, to friends of his. That, of course, was a terrible idea. As soon as she had pushed open the intricate cherry wood door to his room too many memories came running back to her, the good, the bad, the fun and the sad. Within minutes she was curled on his bed, stroking Beast, the exceptionally large, eight year old Maine Coon cat that once belonged to her brother, and desperately attempting not to let any more tears fall from her eyes.

Edwin <33, Dec.7, Married to Verne || X>
Edwin pulled a pan of baked macaroni and cheese out of the oven and quickly set it on the stovetop, shaking his hands vigorously. "Every. Single. Time" he muttered to himself as he turned on the tap and shoved his left hand under the running water. Eddie had a habit of always letting the pot holder slip when he grabbed something... and no matter how many times he was told to use the oven mitts he never took the advice to heart it seemed.
After cooling his hand off for a moment, Edwin picked up the tray of food and set it on the cooling rack the couple had before pulling two plates, two forks and two glasses out of their kitchen cabinets. The tall father-to-be set the plates on the counter, filled each glass with water and brought them to the small kitchen table along with the forks. Wandering into the main area of the house, Ed smiled when he saw his wife. She really was the most special person in the world to him. "Love, lunch is ready" he said lightly, the smile never moving from his face. As the thirty-three year old headed back in to serve the dish he recounted on the fact that in roughly four short months he would be a father... a thought that terrified and rejuvinated him all at once.

Killian <27, Aug.31, Married to Liddie | X>
Killian had given himself the day off, as well as yesterday and tomorrow. He had an
extremely flexible schedule considering he was his own boss most of the time. Instead of spending time at his desk in the spare room, Killian had been trying to dedicate as much time as he could to his wife, after all they had only gotten married a short time ago and were already expecting their first child together.
So far, the day had been uneventful, neither of them had left the apartment just yet, and though it was relaxing it was starting to nag at him. The ginger haired man wasn't the type to sit around indoors for very long if he didn't have to. Standing up from where he had last ended up on the couch, Killian watched as Albert too rose and followed him after emerging from the pile of fur he made with the two cats in order to nap. "C'mon Al, let's go see if Miss Liddie wants to go for a walk with us" he decided quickly before heading over to his wife.

Samantha <26, Apr.23, Dating Bash || X> ||
Ava <7, Dec.12, 2nd Grade || X>
Normally when Ava was at her dad's house for the weekend it meant that Samantha was able to not worry and just do whatever she wanted, usually it included her boyfriend, but this weekend Ava continuously threw tantrums about going over and had a few scheduled activities that postponed the trip, so now the second grader would be with her father all week. While under normal circumstances this would never have been allowed to happen, Samantha had an art event to attend just outside of Denver and Ava had a callback in Denver for the role of Cassie in the musical, 13, of course it was a smaller part as a school cheerleader, but it was still something to be vastly proud of (it also came with a few solos which excited Ava) ... especially considering the entire show centered around twelve and thirteen year olds and the small red-head was only seven. Due to traveling roughly three and a half hours each way over the span of Friday and Saturday (Ava had missed the last half of school), the parents had opted, mainly Sami really, to wait to drop off on Sunday. They would have been to the Hemming house earlier that morning, but they had both ended up sleeping through the alarms set for nine, woke around eleven, got changed, headed out, grabbed breakfast for themselves and, being the generous child she was, Ava asked to bring something over so they had stopped to pick up donuts before finally arriving at 775 Hopkins Avenue at 12:01pm. As Samantha turned off her new 2016
GMC Terrain SLT she found herseld tossing her piece of nicotine-filled gum in the trash... it just wasn't doing te trick for her right now, but she tried to avoid smoking when she had passengers in the car since she knew from experience that when the windows were open (which they were) the smoke particles would often irritate the passengers, especially those behind you... which is where her daughter was. Sliding out of the family-style SUV, Sam pulled open the door opposite of Ava and grabbed the small bag of belongings that she carried between homes. Much like Samara, Ava had belongings at her home and her father's home... that way neither of the girls would have to travel with a lot of stuff. Once her daughter was up and heading towards the door Ava slid a cigarette out of the packaging and lit up, sighing at the relief it brought to her. She wasn't the type of woman who was easily stressed, but having to deal with her ex-husband and his wife really got her going. All she wanted to do was be able to see Samara for a few minutes, get Ava settled and leave. This time would be harder knowing she was child-free for the week, but at the same time it made her traveling and errands easier.
It wasn't that she hated her father, but the seven year old disliked her baby sister and she didn't know what to think of her daddy's new wife, Ophelia, who was already having a baby... In addition to not loving having to go there it meant leaving her two great danes behind. Ava sighed as she pushed herself forward until she felt herself sliding off of the booster seat she still needed to sit in. Letting herself fall she hit the ground of the SUV that was just about a foot away rather gracefully and she pushed the door on her side of the van open with oth hands (not that she needed to use both hands, but she did so anyway). The red-head climbed down and waited for her mom to hand her the other bag containing her school supplies, a few activity/skill lists so she knew what to work on from her various coaches, her iphone 6s, two stuffed animals; a
dog named Fred that she had since she was two and a
manatee named Kleo that her mom's boyfriend had given her about a month after they had started dating officially.
After she had taken hold of the bag she meandered slowly up to the house and stopped in front of the front door. Taking a deep breath she glanced over her shoulder, looking back at her mom who had broke out the cigarettes, before lifting her left hand, making a fist and knocking, waiting for Chris or Ophelia to let her in.

Mackenzie <5, Apr.5, Kindergarten || X>
Randy sat at the park, watching his five-year old run around happily. As much as he enjoyed spending time with his little angel, Rand often found himself at work, and many times working overtime... which meant leaving Mackenzie with the daycare or his girlfriend for a longer time than would be ideal. As he moved his gaze from the monkey bars down to his watch, Randy looked at the time and stood up. They would need to be leaving soon. He had promised Kenna that they would meet for lunch around 12:30, and honestly he was looking forward to it. After all, his daughter and his girlfriend were his two favorite people in the world.
