Year 1 DW: Aura Sahai [Deering] Linton (23) - bisexual - (curly black hair, grey eyes) - ER nurse
DH: Stuart Dinesh Linton (23) - straight - (straight black hair, brown eyes) - magazine columnistDS: Marcus Dinesh Linton (0) - (curly black hair, brown eyes)Moorhead, Minnesota Aura and Stuart met their freshman year of college. For months, they had a will-they-won’t-they style relationship going until one fateful night. They were at a party where their friends convinced them to drink, something neither of them really wanted to, since both were eighteen still and thus underaged. However, they both gave in eventually. Though their night didn’t end the way most people assumed, with the typical college shenanigans, they ended up falling asleep next to each other after staying up till nearly dawn chatting. Since then, they’ve been going strong for almost four years and even stronger since they got engaged and then married this year. When Stuart proposed to Aura, they agreed to give each other a year after graduation to settle into post-grad life and to find jobs and financial security. While on their honeymoon, Aura fell ill. She felt sick to her stomach and fatigued, so Stuart took her to the local urgent care. They came away with unexpected but fantastic news: Aura was pregnant! They hadn’t really discussed when they wanted to start growing their family and they’d only been intimate a handful of times. But they were both overjoyed, especially when, eight months later, they welcomed their son, Marcus Dinesh, named after his father and maternal grandfather.
