[name_u]Lee[/name_u] was married at one point but divorced after her husband cheated. That was ten years ago. She has a thirty-year-old child from the marriage, and they are very close. [name_u]Lee[/name_u] is the grandmother of their two kids, and she often spoils them. Now that she and her siblings are grown up, they’re all much closer than before. She enjoys having such a big family and is closest to Millie’s mom, who is four years older.
[name_f]Leanne[/name_f] is happy that her mom is still doing well physically and mentally. She knows many people her mom’s age who aren’t doing as well because she works as a nurse.

She hasn’t decided what to do yet and has been consulting one of her older sisters, a former divorcee who remarried in her forties.

[name_u]Addyson[/name_u] [name_f]Winifred[/name_f] [name_m]Crowley[/name_m] (nee Hillenberg, formerly Perry) [59] is the sister who’s been helping [name_u]Lee[/name_u] think over the date offer from her coworker. [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] has had her fair share of dates, she had quite the reputation back in high school. Though she settled down in college when she got pregnant during her senior year. Being that it was the 80s and premarital sex was even more taboo than it was now, she and her boyfriend hurried to get married before the news of her pregnancy spread. She even actively hid her pregnancy for a few months longer so that people wouldn’t start to wonder when they conceived. They welcomed a baby boy who due to her deception, many people thought he was early and were all very impressed with how well he caught up with his full term cousins. Though [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] and her husband knew that he arrived right on time, if not a week or so after his due date.
In the next few years of their marriage they had two more children, her husband had a steady job as a CPA, and [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] was pretty happy as a stay at home mom. Until she and her husband realized that they didn’t have nearly as much in common as they had back when they were teenagers. They filed for an amicable divorce. It was a hard decision, but the right one for their family. However [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] began to worry about her chances of dying alone since she felt as though her being divorced and having three children made her less desirable.
Until as she reentered the workforce and found herself falling for her coworker, much like the similar situation that [name_u]Lee[/name_u] is in now. After a lengthy ‘will they, won’t they’ [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] and her coworker married when she was forty-nine, just before her fiftieth birthday. They’re celebrating their ten year anniversary soon and she’s been encouraging [name_u]Lee[/name_u] to invite her coworker to the party as a ‘first date.’ She’s aware it makes her biased, but feels as though her experience where she remarried worked out for the best and she’s hopeful that her sister will end up happy soon enough, with or without a new spouse.
[name_u]Addyson[/name_u] is sort of the ‘fun aunt’ of the family, when she married her current husband he had three children of his own. So their household was always sort of a hub for the various kids to hang out. [name_m]Even[/name_m] though all but one of their children are out of the house now, it still stands as a great place to go over for family parties or if there’s a cousin sleepover that’s being planned. [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] is happy to be the host of any and all get togethers. That aforementioned anniversary party that’s in the works is supposedly gonna be quite the event.

He’s GiGi DeeDee’s son and [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] is [name_f]Ava[/name_f] Grace’s godmother. [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] broke some tradition of his own, he was never married and is child-free. However he does have a woman who is his life partner. He joined the military at 18 and met her in his late 20s when he came home to his family. The couple really never got to settle down until he retired and the more he visited, the less interested she was in marrying him. It’s not that she didn’t love him, it’s more of a mutual decision that marriage is not for them and they prefer life partnership more. They’re now enjoying living together as life partners but [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] and his lady still respect those who are married with children.
Despite having no kids, he’s happy to be the godfather of [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] since he introduced [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] to her friend, [name_f]Ava[/name_f] Grace’s grandmother. [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] loves Addyson’s fun house and gets along with her new spouse and children. [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] has heard about the date offer and since he is also going to Addyson’s party, he’s in on the idea, although he’s not as involved as the eldest sibling. People love to hear the eldest’s perspective on the matter, especially [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] herself, because she remembers having a child for the first time and how that perspective is. Sometimes [name_m]Rueby[/name_m] is called “Uncle Rueby” by [name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f], which he finds to be a warm compliment.

[name_u]Walter[/name_u] [name_u]Francis[/name_u] [name_u]Perry[/name_u] (36) is Addyson’s eldest son and a nephew of Rueby’s. He didn’t find out until his early twenties that his parents weren’t married when his mom got pregnant with him. It didn’t change anything, and he just said, “Oh, okay.” He’s always had a very laid-back and chill nature, which proved helpful in mediating between his youngest sibling and their stepdad. [name_u]Walter[/name_u] was 15 when his parents divorced. He took it badly at first, but once he saw that they were still friends and he could still have a good relationship with both parents, he adjusted. His younger siblings adjusted well after a while, too, and all three of them are close to their dad. Since he was twenty-six and out of the house when his mom remarried, [name_u]Walter[/name_u] wasn’t affected by it much. He gets along with his stepdad and step-siblings, and he’s happy for his mom. His two siblings were still living with [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] when she remarried, so they’re closer to Addyson’s husband, although the youngest wasn’t always happy with their stepdad.
[name_u]Walter[/name_u] has heard about his Aunt Lee’s reservations about dating again and the idea his mom has. He will be attending the party and hopes it all goes nicely. [name_u]Walter[/name_u] works at a mechanic shop and is good at what he does. He makes decent money to support his family and likes surprising them with day trips and little gifts.

[name_f]Cherie[/name_f] [name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_u]Perry[/name_u] (30) is Walter’s younger sister and also on relatively good terms with their older cousin. [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] has always wanted a big sister but coming from a large family, she never felt void of anything which was always appreciated. [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] is mostly casual and loves to geek out, but still enjoys the mall a lot. She too wants to go to Legoland. At age 20, she stayed at home to watch the house, but moved out shortly after to open her arcade in the mall C’s [name_u]Epic[/name_u] Arcade (now C & H’s [name_u]Epic[/name_u] Arcade). She admires all Johnsons except ’ [name_m]Moby[/name_m] [name_m]Dick[/name_m] ’ as called by [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] for being a deadbeat. [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] worries if anyone in her family would ever be a deadbeat but focuses on the positive side.
[name_f]Cherie[/name_f] is a very positive person by heart and is excited for the party and the chance for [name_u]Lee[/name_u] to find a potential love with the person who asked her. [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] herself isn’t open to finding love and often won’t try to pursue out of her own shyness, but as of now, she really isn’t looking for someone. That unfortunately cannot be said about Walter’s wife -tsk tsk!- who is after their stepbrother for some reason despite her being married to [name_u]Walter[/name_u] with a trio of children. [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] has avoided all the whispering behind backs because she hates that but she is really distrusting Walter’s wife lately. She doesn’t know why and she’s not one of the two who knows about the affair, so her guess is as good as Walter’s eldest daughter. [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] always loved Walter’s daughters especially the eldest, since she was her main babysitter at one point, and the eldest felt like a mini-Cherie. However now [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] and Walter’s daughter aren’t so lighthearted because they distrust this woman, which is hard for Walter’s children since this is their mother. There are two people who do know the affair and [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] is super close with one of them. [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] knows Walter’s wife may want to attend the party but she’s hesitant if the distrust is true.

[name_f]Levia[/name_f] Roslind [name_u]Perry[/name_u] (nee Fischer) [35] is Cherie’s sister-in-law and wife of [name_u]Walter[/name_u]. She’s also the girlfriend of [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] and Walter’s step-brother. It started about a year after the birth of their youngest daughter. [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] was struggling with some confidence issues and despite Walter’s support and insistence that she was still just as attractive as she was before she had their kids. But [name_f]Levia[/name_f] didn’t believe him. She needed proof for herself. So she set out one evening all dressed up in an attempt to get hit on at a bar while she told [name_u]Walter[/name_u] that she was at book club.
She got quite a few compliments and numbers at the bar. She was just about ready to head home when there was one more guy who approached her on her way out. Her husband’s step-brother who revealed that not only had he been eyeing her not only since she walked into the bar, but since he had met her.
That night she went home with him and told [name_u]Walter[/name_u] that she had a little car trouble and was sleeping over at a friend’s house. Thus began the affair that’s been continuing in the three years since. [name_f]Levia[/name_f] does feel bad about hiding it from [name_u]Walter[/name_u], and to be cheating on him with someone as close as a relative, it makes her feel a little dirty. She just doesn’t know how to stop.
Now, she’s started to worry that she’s in too deep and it’s too late to back out. Her period is two weeks late now and she’s terrified to be pregnant. There’s as much of a chance that if she is that it’s Walter’s as much as it might be her lover’s. She’s heading out to a local clinic to get a pregnancy test in the next few days and is getting a ride from one of [name_u]Walter[/name_u] and Cherie’s aunts. She’s one of the two who found out about the affair and she was convinced to give [name_f]Levia[/name_f] a ride on account of the fact that if she is pregnant, it’ll end up concerning her nephew and great nieces. While she’s mad at [name_f]Levia[/name_f], she’d rather be prepared for any potential incoming fallout.

Warning for cheating.
[name_u]Clare[/name_u] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] Hillenburg (69) is the best friend of Olivia’s mother. She works at the perfume shop at the mall. She is an older Hillenburg sibling but not the eldest and she supports Levia’s aunt a lot. She is not aware of the affair but she’s more inclined to be suspicious of stuff, especially since her daughter is Walter’s closest older cousin. [name_u]Clare[/name_u] has one child, her daughter, who is in her late thirties and older than [name_u]Walter[/name_u]. The daughter was out of wedlock but personally [name_u]Clare[/name_u] was never going to marry the father of her daughter anyway - he was a cheater as well and didn’t want a serious relationship. Thankfully nobody he cheated on [name_u]Clare[/name_u] with got pregnant but he stayed a deadbeat, which is something she knows her niece [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] can never tolerate. [name_u]Clare[/name_u] is probably not the best person to confide in terms of affairs, so it’s a good thing she doesn’t know about it.
[name_u]Clare[/name_u] managed to hide her pregnancy from her extended family and other people who would scorn her about “wedlock babies.” She was over 30 when she got pregnant and also had a smaller than average baby bump, so she was able to hide it well. However it came at the consequence of having her daughter born late and having to hide it longer, but she understood. When she had her own daughter, she also found out after a two-week late period, so she’s the kind to believe that sort of stuff is definitely a pregnancy. [name_f]Levia[/name_f] hasn’t told [name_u]Clare[/name_u] about her lateness because she knows [name_u]Clare[/name_u] will jump to conclusions. However since she doesn’t know the affair, she’d likely assume [name_u]Walter[/name_u] is the definite father. As for Levia’s aunt, she knows about the affair but is still holding out for a possibility of this new baby-to-be being Walter’s, although neither her, [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], nor [name_f]Levia[/name_f], know today if this is a true pregnancy. [name_u]Clare[/name_u] isn’t necessarily a villain per sé but she’s showing signs of concern that [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] may be hiding a secret pertaining one of Clare’s extended family members…but Olivia’s mother hasn’t said a word to her friend about it.

I did a bit of research for this but it’s probably very historically inaccurate so I apologise in advance
Neferure (born circa 1500 BC) was the ancestor of Clare Hillenburg’s baby daddy. She was born to a large family of nobility, however was a skilled musician and she became a priestess in the temple of Karnak where she played the ‘Benet’ (harp) in rituals worshipping the god Amun. Little is known about Neferure. She might have had children; although it is unclear with whom she had them with or whether she actually had them. She was said to have been very beautiful and caught the eye of the Pharaoh, Amenhotep I who appointed her as the ‘High Priestess’ by him. She died towards the end of Amenhotep’s reign and was missed sorely by the priests and priestesses of Karnak as she was very amiable and friendly but dutiful at the same time. Her body, which was mournfully prepared by the embalmer priests at Karnak who had known her well. Her tomb was decorated with beautiful carvings which would help direct her to the afterlife and she was buried with many of her treasured belongings. Neferure’s mummy’s whereabouts are currently unknown but tomb-robbers have most probably raided her tomb of it’s treasure and scattered her remains.

[name_u]Luxor[/name_u] [name_f]Diana[/name_f] Hillenburg (37) is Neferure’s descendant and Clare’s daughter, an only child. She’s of Egyptian descent going back from a very far line and although she’s not close at all with the man who fathered her, she never shies away from her culture. [name_u]Clare[/name_u] gave her the name [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] and is always open to seeing her be one with this, which [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] is very pleased to do with her life. [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] and [name_u]Walter[/name_u] are incredibly close, working as mechanics and she is practically a best friend to him. [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] is impartial to [name_f]Levia[/name_f] — she doesn’t approve or disapprove her and she’s often gotten her mixed up with some of the other people in her family tree’s in-laws. She did think [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] may have been a bad influence on [name_f]Levia[/name_f] and wishes [name_f]Levia[/name_f] didn’t listen to her about the idea of sneaking away just because [name_f]Levia[/name_f] wanted a confidence boost. [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] isn’t aware of the whole scheme of things, but she thinks [name_f]Levia[/name_f] isn’t really at a book club. [name_f]Levia[/name_f] told [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] that she was simply just reading the latest bestseller but when [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] made a reference to the book, [name_f]Levia[/name_f] had no idea. Levia’s aunt told [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] that it was likely because Levia’s club hadn’t gotten to that part of the book yet. Unbeknownst to [name_u]Luxor[/name_u], Levia’s aunt knew [name_f]Levia[/name_f] wasn’t really at a book club.
[name_f]Levia[/name_f] fears [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] mainly since she’s so close to [name_u]Walter[/name_u] even though the two are just very close cousins who act a lot like siblings. [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] is fiercely loyal to the [name_u]Perry[/name_u] cousins but she doesn’t hate Levia…at least not yet. She kept trying to help [name_f]Levia[/name_f] throughout her struggles, worrying [name_f]Levia[/name_f] might be away because she’s actually doing extreme dieting methods to get more confident. [name_f]Levia[/name_f] kept pushing [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] away which made the latter worry more. [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] herself had negative body image in her early teens when she worried she was “getting fatter” due to her growth spurt. While [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] wasn’t spoiled, she did feel a sense of importance in maintaining a noble outlook, so she was afraid of imperfection. After all, she does have Egyptian royal blood from her ancient ancestor Neferure, even if she didn’t know it. However [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] did manage to get out of this self-esteem issue before she ever made it too drastic. [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] knows these issues aren’t just for young teens though and figured [name_f]Levia[/name_f] may have had dangerous dieting habits until Levia’s psychologist friend [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] told [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] that [name_f]Levia[/name_f] was not engaging in such habits.
[name_u]Luxor[/name_u] likes the [name_m]Crowley[/name_m] stepfamily, especially Addyson’s second husband. In terms of Walter’s stepbrother, she likes that the [name_u]Perry[/name_u] siblings are blended with more people their age and that [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] has new stepcousins. She jokingly stated to [name_u]Walter[/name_u] that she disliked them because she was “jealous that they were stealing her time with the [name_u]Perry[/name_u] sibs”. In actuality, she thinks they’re cool people. She would be let down by the idea of [name_f]Levia[/name_f] cheating on [name_u]Walter[/name_u] for his stepbrother. [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] isn’t the type to completely judge the two as people, since she tries to find some understanding reason why people are who they are. What’s his side of the story? If [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] were to find out about this scandal, she’d hope [name_f]Levia[/name_f] wasn’t actually pregnant after all to spare the possibility of a child involved. But she really can’t prevent anything like that because she doesn’t know, plus [name_u]Walter[/name_u] and [name_f]Levia[/name_f] already have 3 children that are going to find out in one way or another. Thankfully [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] still hasn’t known about the affair but she’s much more suspicious about certain people, especially Levia’s aunt who she trusts less and less. Plus, it seems like one of the family tree members is open to telling her if she asks…

[name_f]Amoret[/name_f] " [name_f]Margo[/name_f] " [name_f]Angelica[/name_f] [name_u]Perry[/name_u] (10) is someone who looks up to [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] a lot, and who’s unfortunately going to soon be weathering an influx of complicated emotions, being the eldest child of [name_f]Levia[/name_f] and [name_u]Walter[/name_u]. To say Margo’s astute is an understatement. She’s constantly keeping an eye on the world around her, with a blatant intrigue regarding ‘adult matters’ - as she deems them - having developed as she’s grown older, especially all the secrets and information she’s cut off from thanks to her age. Until the age of 7, [name_f]Margo[/name_f] always wanted to dress as [name_m]Sherlock[/name_m] [name_m]Holmes[/name_m] for Halloween, and even now she’s moved onto changing up her looks, it’s obvious she still has a lot of reverence for detective work.
Margo’s concerns began when her mom started seeming distracted. She was always checking her phone, wanting to know about dad’s schedule, and when her uncle [Walter’s stepbrother] came round, there was just a change in how they behaved, not that [name_f]Margo[/name_f] necessarily could tell what was going on. At first she actually thought they might have developed a hatred for each other, which concerned her just as much. However, as she’s grown up, Margo’s become more aware of relationships, and that she was misreading the signals between her mom and uncle.
The prospect of what could - and is - going on is something she hasn’t considered properly yet, mostly as it would devastate her. While [name_f]Margo[/name_f] presents herself as bold and prepared for difficulties - providing a lot of comfort for her friends and never shying away from standing up for them - her family being torn apart terrifies her, and of course she refuses to frighten her younger siblings by mentioning all she’s been trying to figure out. There’s a clear distance between [name_f]Margo[/name_f] and [name_f]Levia[/name_f] to develop during this time too. While not overtly hostile [yet], she’s often quiet when they’re alone together, something [name_f]Margo[/name_f] tries to avoid given her fears. She loves her parents and loathes the idea of seeing either of them hurt, but it’s undeniable there’s a fire in [name_f]Margo[/name_f] that could be fanned once the truth is revealed.

[name_u]Riley[/name_u] ’ [name_m]Riles[/name_m] ’ [name_m]Bates[/name_m] Hillenburg (4) is someone who looks up to [name_f]Margo[/name_f] a lot, since he’s her younger cousin. He is one of [name_u]Lee[/name_u] Hillenburg’s grandchildren, which gives some irony considering [name_u]Lee[/name_u] herself had a past divorce due to a cheating husband. [name_m]Riles[/name_m] is obsessed with discovery himself and insists he wants to be a park ranger when he grows up, but also has dreams of being a sailor too. He loves his grandmother [name_u]Lee[/name_u] since she’s a much more positive side of the family tree and he’s semi-aware of a family secret, although much more positive - it’s about [name_u]Lee[/name_u] set up to have a date with her co-worker at the party. [name_m]Riles[/name_m] is more and more aware of this love connection and cutely supports it.
However the party hasn’t happened yet, as there’s still some time to go. Maybe that’s for the best, since Walter’s stepbrother has stated he isn’t attending and has estranged himself. Some of the people aware of the brewing drama know that there was an affair between Walter’s stepbrother and with [name_f]Levia[/name_f]. Some more than others but it has weighed on a few people. [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] genuinely loves the [name_u]Perry[/name_u] family but doesn’t speak to [name_f]Levia[/name_f] anymore. She feels like she wasted herself caring about [name_f]Levia[/name_f] like she had a true problem and now sees her as a traitor. [name_u]Luxor[/name_u] is still kind to [name_f]Margo[/name_f] and her siblings and tries her very best to not act so different around them despite seeing things differently.
As for [name_f]Levia[/name_f] and [name_u]Walter[/name_u], they’re going to couple’s therapy. [name_f]Margo[/name_f] and her siblings will stay with Riles’ parents and spend time with them and Riles’ sib. [name_m]Riles[/name_m] is joyful over the moon but [name_f]Margo[/name_f] is concerned about her parents. [name_m]Riles[/name_m] wants to cheer her up but his parents tell him not to make promises - he doesn’t know why [name_f]Margo[/name_f] is so worried about her parents. While [name_f]Levia[/name_f] doesn’t truly love Walter’s stepbrother, she really needs to own up once and for all about the extent of her cheating. In a small stroke of fortune, it turns out [name_f]Levia[/name_f] isn’t pregnant. She’s notified that this was a false alarm due to stress and that both a doctor and a pregnancy test has confirmed that there is not a baby-to-be. Still, this doesn’t make Levia’s situation okay and there’s some belief that the two will separate. But will love rekindle or is it better to just be done and divorced? [name_u]Lee[/name_u] herself has stayed out for the sake of keeping a civil family but she wants Levia’s actions to have consequences.

[name_f]Miriam[/name_f] " [name_f]Mira[/name_f] " [name_f]Annette[/name_f] Hillenburg (nee Bates) (29) is Riles’ mom and the wife of Lee’s son. She’s happy to let [name_f]Margo[/name_f] and her siblings stay with them and hopes things get settled between [name_u]Walter[/name_u] and [name_f]Levia[/name_f]. Like most of the family, [name_f]Mira[/name_f] avoids speaking to [name_f]Levia[/name_f]. She’s one of the relatives who found out about the affair while out shopping one day. She’d seen them together, acting much closer than siblings-in-law should. It was hard for her to tell [name_u]Walter[/name_u], but she didn’t have to do it alone. The ensuing drama in the family has made [name_f]Mira[/name_f] unhappy, and she’s tried to shield [name_m]Riles[/name_m] from what’s happening. Riles’ sister is only a year old and is kept unaware because of her age.
[name_f]Mira[/name_f] and [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] have always been close. They were best friends in school and often wished they were sisters. Well, cousins are the next best thing, I guess. [name_f]Cherie[/name_f] was excited when she found out [name_f]Mira[/name_f] and her cousin were dating. She was the maid of honor at the wedding. Because of this close relationship with [name_f]Cherie[/name_f], [name_f]Mira[/name_f] was ready and willing to do anything she could for the [name_u]Perry[/name_u] family. Her husband readily agreed, feeling awful for his cousin’s kids. Most everyone in the family is upset about [name_f]Levia[/name_f] and Walter’s stepbrother. [name_f]Mira[/name_f] realizes that Walter’s other two step-siblings must be feeling awful. She hasn’t had the time to talk with them yet but hopes they know that none of the family has had feelings toward them. [name_u]Walter[/name_u] and Cherie’s younger sibling have been talking to his step-siblings about just that. It surprised everyone because they were the last person expected due to the problems they had with the Crowleys at the beginning.
Amid all this drama, [name_f]Mira[/name_f] found out she was pregnant. She’s told her husband and [name_u]Lee[/name_u] but is waiting until things get calmer in the family before she unleashes this new thing. The Hillenburg family makes a big deal out of babies, and [name_f]Mira[/name_f] wouldn’t want the affair business to spoil things. Her first OB/GYN appointment was yesterday, and the daughter of Dorothy’s eldest child was her doctor, so she knows too. She hopes [name_m]Riles[/name_m] will be happy with a new sibling. [name_f]Mira[/name_f] encourages her son’s dreams as much as she can. She got him a sailor’s outfit, and he often recruits her to play ship with him. Another cousin of Riles’ dad is a sailor and loves telling [name_m]Riles[/name_m] stories.

[name_u]Grey[/name_u] [name_f]Mara[/name_f] Hillenberg (1) is Mira’s daughter and Riles’ sister, whose innocence has proven solace in the midst of the family strife. When she was born, [name_m]Riles[/name_m] had a bit of uncertainty going on: he had to share his parents attention and see everyone fawning over his newborn sister, not pleasing things. [name_u]Lee[/name_u] managed to mediate though, taking [name_m]Riles[/name_m] out on daytrips and having him over, so he didn’t feel abandoned or pushed out, and in time, he and his sister have become closer.
Having her cousins’ - [name_u]Walter[/name_u] and Levia’s kids - around has been a source of joy for [name_u]Grey[/name_u]. She loves playing with them, even though it annoys her if her mom insists its nap time or the others deem her too young to play. Her parents are hoping the arrival of a younger sibling will further help [name_u]Grey[/name_u], given she’ll be the one closest in age to them, and able to have more similar experiences thanks to the small gap. Given how sociable she is, there’s also no fear she’ll love having another playmate, especially as it could mean less fuss and more chances for freedom!

cw: mentioned physical altercation and brief jail time
[name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Danielle[/name_f] Hillenberg-Ralston [57] is Grey’s paternal great aunt. She’s the eighth born Hillenberg, after [name_u]Addyson[/name_u], [name_m]Rueby[/name_m], and Millie’s mom but before [name_u]Lee[/name_u]. She’s also the aunt who drove [name_f]Levia[/name_f] to the clinic to get pregnancy tested and is very happy to say, [name_f]Levia[/name_f] is
not pregnant. It seems that the stress of keeping her secret is what caused her late period, not a baby. Now that there’s less stakes, [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] hasn’t been shy in telling [name_f]Levia[/name_f] that if she doesn’t come clean soon, she just might.
Proposing an ultimatum such as this is unusual for [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], she’s always regarded by friends and family as a very kind woman who can even be somewhat of a pushover at times. [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] has been fine with this as her role in the family, but cheaters just make her so angry and triggers her temper like nothing else in this world.
Before meeting her current and only husband, [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] was engaged. Until she caught her fiancé in bed with her maid of honor. It was heartbreaking, and it also triggered her hot temper. She actually ended up getting into a fist fight with her now ex-fiancé that got so bad the ‘mistress of dishonor’ as [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] later called Harriet’s former friend called the police. [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] was taken to jail for aggravated assault. The charges would later be dismissed on account of a judge ruling her ‘momentary lapse in judgement and physical control’ to be justified as well as generally out of character for [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. Still, [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] spent that night after the fight in jail.
Though it wasn’t all bad, the officer who brought her in would later come back to the scene of the crime, Harriet’s apartment, and ask her out on a date. Now that officer is known better as Lieutenant [name_m]Ralston[/name_m] and Harriet’s better half.
The couple share two children and two Wheaton Terriers named Bixie and [name_f]Nutmeg[/name_f]. Next year they’ll be celebrating thirty-five years and [name_u]Addyson[/name_u] is already planning on throwing a party for them as well.
