Round 4: Full CircleStoryOldest
It's been five years. Oldest is forty-two years old. To her surprise, she is in love again. He is a little older than her, forty-six, and never married. He is in love with her children, but a little sad he never had any of his own. They decide to try, despite the risks. It takes over a year, and a little help from some fertility drugs, but Oldest becomes pregnant.
Middle
It's been five years, middle is now thirty-five. She & her husband have wasted no time growing their family. Less their a year after giving birth to their first (her second) child, Middle was pregnant again - and surprise, it was twins! Middle and Husband were thrilled - they wanted a big family. When the twins are two, they decide to take the plunge again and have one last baby. In addition to having another child, it marks a big change in Middle's life, as she quits work to stay home with her children. They think their family is done, but as their youngest turns one, Middle realizes she's expecting...
Youngest
It's been five years. Youngest is now thirty-two years old. She and her boyfriend from the last round have gotten married. They did not plan on having any more kids, but after partying a little too hard on their wedding night, Youngest finds herself expecting a child.

Five years on it's been all change for the extended Holt brood - some have had bigger changes than other! - let's find out...Beth and Henry are growing old gracefully and are so proud of how far their daughters have come since that fateful month 8 years ago when all their lives changed forever. They love spending time with the grandchildren - though not all at once! - and are looking forward to watching them grow up.Since having Tenny, Callie has married! She never thought it would happen but she fell head over heels in love with Eugene and the pair were engaged and married within a year of first meeting! He adored Toby and Tenny and spends a lot of time just him and the boys, bonding over board games or karate or whatever they want - he spoils them rotten! Despite the love, he admitted to Callie he regretted never having his own and so, despite their ages, the husband and wife decided to try to conceive. They struggled initially and turned to fertility treatments where, from their first round of IVF, they became parents-to-be of triplets! The pregnancy was carefully monitored and at 34 weeks, Callie underwent a C-section to get the babies out. They were all gorgeous, weighing 4lbs 3oz, 4lbs 4oz and 4lbs 10oz. Before the triplets, Callie was still working and moved from podcasts to vlogs of which she oversaw the management of three series as well as one she created from scratch and starred in herself. Callie loves it as it is something that can take her all over the country but could be done from the comfort of her own home too.
Toby and Tenny have grown up to be best friends, they understand that Gene isn't their "real" dad but they enjoy doing all of the things sons and dads so together like building dens and going camping. The sudden influx of babies to their lives is a huge change but it just means they're spending more time round Nan and Granddad's, which neither of them minds.Five years has seen four births for Georgie and Elliott. She now stays at home full time to be the best mum she can be to the six little ones - including the newest addition, Reuben - while Elliott puts in a lot of hours at the office to keep the family financially viable.

She couldn't remember the last time she felt so happy, her family was complete, the girls were growing up and making her proud. It was maybe her hapiness that attracted Jack Sutton. She met him on one of her rare girls night out and they hit it off quickly spending the whole night talking at the bar and dancing. By the end of the evening Jack knew all the basic facts about her life, including that she was a single mother of three daughters by her choice, and unlike many others, he did not judge her and called the next day and the day after. For once Thea did not hold back and introduced the girls to him two weeks later and was surprised how quickly they bonded together. Only six months after meeting for the first time Thea and Jack were married. It was a small ceremony at town hall, but they would not have it any other way. Jack is an amazing step-father to her girls and loves them as his own, but one night he admited that he was a little sad that due to their age they will never have kids on their own.

After the birth of her daughter Hadley, Marina felt like her family was complete. And it would have been, if she didn't meet Hermes. He was a new faculty member at the art school where Marina taught, hired while she was on her maternity leave. She met him at her welcome back party. Hermes had just gone through a major life change. He'd worked as a producer in Las Angeles for his adult life, but after a car accident left him without use of his legs he'd moved home to recuperate. He'd decided not to move back to LA, taking a job teaching script writing instead. He and Marina hit it off instantly. They moved in together shortly after Hadley's first birthday and were married before her second.Hermes was delighted by Amos and Hadley. By then, Amos was developing into a strong personality - very high energy in a fast learner, he was trouble if you didn't keep your eye on him. Hadley was all sweetness, a very sweet baby. A year into their marriage, Hermes asked Marina if she'd consider having another child with him. He'd never thought much about children until he'd met hers and he loved them like her own, but also felt a sense of loss that he'd never had any of his own. Marina wasn't sure she could have kids at forty, but for him she decided to try. It took two years and a bit of medical intervention, but eventually Marina became pregnant, with twins.

-DS/DS [exp] Edmond James Johnson-Holt/ Remus Gustav Johnson-HoltAmanda has fallen in love! She and Kade Johnson, a doctor, met shortly after Hermione was born and have been dating for a few years. While Kade has no children of his own, he loves Amanda’s two girls. After a lot of thought, Amanda and Kade decided to try for a child of their own. It took a while, but Amanda is finally pregnant once more! To their surprise, it’s twin boys. They have taken this in stride, and have chosen to honor family with the boys’ middle names: James for Kade, and Gustav for Amanda’s father, Otto. Amity and Hermione, both in school, can’t wait to meet their baby brothers. Amity is taking after her mother in many ways, being very maternal with her little sister. Hermione, on the other hand, reminds Amanda very much of Faye, with her rebellious spirit.DD [35] Marigold Jo Lewis (nee Holt) “Mari”

Currently, their family stands as: four-year-old twins Rosanna & Susanna, one-year-old Flora, and new babies Christa and Simon. Talk about a big family! With eight kids, Mari is pretty sure she’s done with having kids. Actually, Christa and Simon were complete surprises; she was expecting to stop after Flora. Adding to that, Lionel has officially adopted Ronald, making them all one big family. Mari couldn’t be happier, though she left her job to take care of her kids. Ronald loves school, especially his science classes. Mercy and Ivor have turned out to be incredibly different from their older brother; Mercy is a little actress, and Ivor loves sports.

Both of them have found love elsewhere - Else in a contributor to their podcast, Lockie, and Ronan in a nature photographer called Bethany. Ronan still visits the kids regularly, though, and Bethany is a lovely woman, who the kids all love. Lockie and Else struck a chord almost immediately when they met: he was kind, intelligent, and sensitive, and they fell in love pretty quickly. He adores Ida, Darcy and Eloise, and when he tentatively suggests that perhaps he and Else could have a child of their own, both mother and daughters are delighted with the idea. After a year of trying, with help from fertility treatments, they finally conceive - and are shocked to discover that Else is carrying triplets! The pregnancy is pretty rough, but she has support from her sisters, parents, boyfriend, Ronan and Bethany, and she pulls through all right. Harriet, Hero and Horatio hyphenate Else and Lockie's surnames, and all 3 girls are delighted to have little babies to take care of (Darcy in particular just won't leave them alone!) The girls have taken well to Lockie, and he's a pretty devoted father to all of them. Lockie becomes a regular contributor to Else and Ronan's podcast, and she couldn't be happier with the way her life is.
