Newsons: Chapter 1

The Newson kids are still hanging in there. They spent this week settling into their new house, and while it was especially difficult the first few days before the twins had their birthday (raising toddlers is no easy feat for the most experienced parents), Gavin and Ginger now have four children to help them around the house. Soon Gabriella and Garrett will have their birthday and be full-fledged teenagers.

What will happen with the older Newsons? Will Ginger and Gavin want to go to college? Or will they stay and take care of their brothers and sisters?

Gavigans: Chapter 1

Nathan decided to take his son, and give him a great life, so they moved in to a house nearby. Mary moved in next door in order to see her son as much as possible even though he wasn't under the same roof anymore.

Since Nathan was just starting out in his career, he put an ad out for two roommates because he had a spacious house, so there was no need to let the empty space go to waste, so two of the Silver sisters moved in. Celia, wanting to be provided for decided to try and put the moves on Nathan. Anyone with a house must have SOME money she thought. Although they had a passionate fling, it was Maddie that really caught Nathan's eye. The sparks flew, and they couldn't not be together. Although it was inevitable that Celia get hurt, Maddie and Nathan were married, and are expecting their first child together. Isaiah is thrilled, and has really taken to his new stepmother.

What will happen when Mary finds out that Nathan is starting a new family of his own with THEIR son? Will she feel replaced by Maddie? Will the broken-hearted Celia stick around or can she see that her efforts have gone to waste?

Depiesses: Chapter 1

You may be wondering: who are the Depiesses? Well, young Mary Gavigan was at home taking care of her son Isaiah, when her friend and neighbor Lyndsey came by and noticing how lonely and unhappy she was (even if Mary didn't) decided to introduce Mary to her friend Glen. Glen was a family man without a family, and just what the doctor ordered.

Although Mary loved her husband Nathan, she wanted more than the city life living in an apartment with their son. She wanted a house with a bigger family, and Nathan was content with their son. Although Mary tried to make things work, her feelings for Glen became to strong to fight and she decided to pursue them.

Nathan found out about their affair and took Isaiah, and left. When the divorce was final, Glen moved in and they were married and now have a little girl of their own, named Stephanie with many more kids to come, they hope.

Mary wishes that she could have her son and daughter under the same roof, but must content herself with her baby daughter and sporadic visits from Isaiah. He has yet to forgive his mother for her indiscretion against his father, but is starting to soften.

What will the future hold for Glen and Mary? More kids are surely on the way, but will Nathan's new found want for more children lead to Mary second-guessing her decision?

Clevelands: Chapter 1

Jason has been working hard on his career for years, and Marissa was content in raising their son Justin. But as Justin has been growing older, Marissa feels more and more lonely, as Justin keeps pushing her out of his life.

Will his wife and new baby girl be enough to keep him busy?
