Jack and Caroline were planning to wait a little longer before having another child, but when Stella was eight months old they found out they were going to be parents again. In March Caroline gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl whom they named Julian Charles and Emily Anne. Unfortunately, Julian was very weak and lived for only an hour. Jack and Caroline were devastated when they lost their son, but were still so grateful for their beautiful, healthy daughter.1922
A year later, Jack and Caroline found themselves expecting yet again. They welcomed a boy, Isaac Joseph, in September. But the pregnancy and birth took a toll on Caroline, and after Isaac she couldn't have any more children.Around the same time, James came to his family in desperation. His girlfriend, Cecilia Donner, was four months pregnant. Cecilia was the daughter of a prominent Boston attorney, and her father was pressuring James to marry Cecilia as soon as possible -- something James didn't want to do. He had come to his father to ask for money, so he could support Cecilia and the baby financially without having to get married. Joseph was furious. He ordered James to marry Cecilia right away, or he would be completely cut off. Begrudgingly, James agreed, and he and Cecilia were married in October.1923
James and Cecilia became parents to a son, Levi, in February. Whatever reservations James had had about being a husband and father disappeared when he held his boy for the first time. Joseph, determined for his son to take responsibility and care for his own family, arranged with Mr. Donner for James to obtain a position at the latter's law firm.1924
David finished his studies at Harvard and moved to New York to write for the Times. There he met Antonia Conley, an aspiring Broadway actress. They'd known each other for only five weeks when David asked her to marry him. She accepted, and they planned to marry on Antonia's 20th birthday.1925
Benjamin was accepted into Notre Dame to play football, but he deferred for a year so that he could travel abroad. While in France he met Eleonore Robineaux, who was a waitress at a cafe he frequented. When it was time for him to return to the States, Benjamin asked Eleonore to go with him. She declined, since she didn't have any family in the US and didn't want to make such a monumental decision so soon. However, she did agree to marry him after he graduated from Notre Dame.Shortly after their son Levi's 1st birthday, James and Cecilia discovered that they were going to have another child. James wanted another boy, and that's exactly what he got. Abel Martin arrived in December. At first, Levi didn't take so kindly to his brother because he wasn't used to his parents being attentive to anyone but him. But after a while, he realized that Abel was there to stay.
