Create a Family With a Twist 💕

Warning for failed tubal litigation.

[name_f]Snieguolė[/name_f] “ [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] “ Lukošiūtė (35) was Zita’s biological mother who admittedly doesn’t see [name_f]Zita[/name_f] as a daughter, but she’s grateful for [name_f]Julija[/name_f] seeing her as her own. She’s glad [name_f]Zita[/name_f] isn’t left in the dark about the fact she was adopted but at the same time, isn’t treated as any lesser than [name_f]Julija[/name_f] or Paul’s other children. [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] is an athlete and is very honest that she wants to focus on footballing first. She’s been contacted for sports magazines but she doesn’t want people seeing her as “just a pretty face on the field” which is why she’s more into fierce and edgy models. She wouldn’t have tried to get into a famous career, it just naturally happened due to skill. [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] tends to worry too much about what others think, she didn’t want to come off as, “I’m not ready for a baby but I’m ready for FAME”, and she would have kept the adoption closed regardless. [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] was born in a family where all children were planned, though she doesn’t entirely consider that the reason for giving [name_f]Zita[/name_f] up for adoption. Part of the reason [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] was so shocked by her pregnancy is because she had gotten her tubes tied before conceiving [name_f]Zita[/name_f], but it turns out the process was a flop and she was a rare instance of having a pregnancy post-surgery. She’s felt horrible about this because she thought she was being safe and staying true to her decision to be child-free. Despite still having the strong insistence to not have children, she took a lot of precautions to make sure [name_f]Zita[/name_f] was healthy in the womb and would be safe when she was born. Sniega’s since gotten another surgery to ensure this time it wouldn’t happen again although deep down, she’s glad she could provide for [name_f]Julija[/name_f].

[name_f]Sniega[/name_f] doesn’t have any plans to move to [name_f]Canada[/name_f], though it’s not because [name_f]Zita[/name_f] lives in [name_f]Canada[/name_f]. She is happy in her hometown of Pakruojis but also because she had a bad experience as a teenager. She was a foreign exchange student living in the [name_m]Watson[/name_m] house, which she at first was happy by but slowly stopped liking it. There were two girls there: [name_f]Emily[/name_f], who was a few months younger than [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] and Emily’s little sister, who was two years older than the Watsons’ now-family friend, [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_m]Thompson[/name_m]. [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] got along with [name_f]Emily[/name_f] more given their closeness in age but with the time passing, she stopped getting along with [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. It wasn’t necessarily the Watson’s fault, it was likely culture shock seeing how Canadian families do things differently, but [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] had a hard time fitting in and it rubbed the wrong way. At the same time, [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] wasn’t just about celebrating her own Lithuanian culture, she still wanted to try more Canadian culture while she was there. But she felt like a stranger in a sense, especially with her broken [name_f]English[/name_f], which [name_f]Emily[/name_f] looked at her a lot when she did this. [name_f]Emily[/name_f] didn’t want to correct [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] all the time so she stayed quiet, but [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] actually hated this more. She wanted to know what she was doing wrong. Eventually near the end of her time in the [name_m]Watson[/name_m] house; she and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] were feuding a lot and she refused to see either sister as a friend, let alone family. She had a lot bottled up because she knew her host family was letting her into their home, plus she was trying so hard not to let Emily’s younger sister see the feud. She left on good terms at least, but only because she and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] were awkwardly trying to stay civil for the sake of the family.

She has since apologised for how she reacted especially since it’s put a dent in the [name_m]Watson[/name_m] family’s decision to take on more exchange students. They didn’t want to repeat a bad experience. The way [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] apologised to the family was writing an apology note a year later, with better [name_f]English[/name_f] and a genuine explanation for everything she’s done wrong. But not in a way to excuse or justify her actions. [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] never got a response back and when she was visiting [name_f]Julija[/name_f] in [name_f]Canada[/name_f] years later, she saw Emily’s now-adult sister. [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] couldn’t help but ask if anyone in the family saw it. She told [name_f]Sniega[/name_f], “Yes we saw it and we forgive you. Sorry we never wrote back.” However when [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] asked if [name_f]Emily[/name_f] read it, she was disappointed to hear [name_f]Emily[/name_f] did not. In fact, [name_f]Emily[/name_f] threw it out, to Sniega’s disdain. She threw it out because she didn’t want “bad memories,” which [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] felt was inexcusable given she poured her heart out into that letter and tried to hard to make it understandable [name_f]English[/name_f]. Though now as time passed on, Sniega’s been more understanding of Emily’s decision not to look back. Maybe she had come off harsher than she intended to and didn’t realise it. Also, [name_f]Emily[/name_f] hasn’t been very happy in her college years and [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] herself wouldn’t want to look back on her own unplanned pregnancy. Though she’s also more content in life now and so are the [name_m]Watson[/name_m] sisters, especially with the help of [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. While [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] wishes [name_f]Emily[/name_f] gave her a chance, she’s accepted it and moved on, much like she’s moved on after finding out her tubal litigation was botched. She’d be glad to know the [name_m]Watson[/name_m] parents have since taken in a new foreign exchange student this year, although the parents are empty-nesters now. [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] doesn’t like when things end badly because of her so she’d be very pleased if she knew they hadn’t.

TW: ED mentioned

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] " [name_f]Liv[/name_f] " [name_f]Brooke[/name_f] [name_m]Watson[/name_m] (28) is Emily’s younger sister and was the bystander to the falling out between her and [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] all those years ago. Although [name_f]Liv[/name_f] could sense there was a shift in the relationship between the older girls’, she was too young then to know what the heart of the problem was, and the truth only was revealed when the letter arrived for [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. [name_f]Liv[/name_f] tried to convince her sister to reply, however with all that had happened in the years since, she hasn’t held anything against her sister for wanting to move on. In a lot of ways the pair are opposites, as while Liv’s less reassuring and naturally calming, she’s also more confident addressing past upsets and traumas she’s been through.

Recently [name_f]Liv[/name_f] finished her counselling degree and she’s specialising now in working with patients with ED. As a teenager she had orthorexia herself, and began obsessing over everything she ate, namely if it was ‘safe’ and ‘clean’. It took a lot of coaxing and difficult conversations for [name_f]Liv[/name_f] to agree to speak to any kind of professional herself - as the fear of impacting her body was so great - however this is why she’s chosen to work with other’s going through this journey, as she personally understands it’s complexities and painful aspects so well.

Admitting she was ‘born nosey’, [name_f]Liv[/name_f] wonders if Emily’s involvement in caring for her friends’ twins is because she’s trying to find a way of avoiding the pressure about starting her own family. [name_f]Liv[/name_f] wasn’t a planned conception, although her parents haven’t ever been unhappy about this, and she’s also not blind to people asking questions of [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and her long-term boyfriend, [name_f]Aspen[/name_f]. Being single means [name_f]Liv[/name_f] does escape this question more, but she’s still done her best to support her sister, even more so now she’s become accidentally privy to some new information. [name_f]Liv[/name_f] overheard a conversation between the pair recently and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] is, indeed, pregnant.

[name_m]Romano[/name_m] [name_m]Drake[/name_m] [Thompson] Stringer (34) knew [name_f]Liv[/name_f] through his sister [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] and after looking at the big picture, forgives [name_f]Sniega[/name_f]. Being Emily’s family friend meant he didn’t necessarily appreciate the way [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] was talking about [name_f]Emily[/name_f]. Though he’s learned a bit through Sniega’s perspective after [name_f]Liv[/name_f] told him that [name_f]Sniega[/name_f] did try to apologise. He and [name_f]Emily[/name_f] were on great terms since teenage years but were never attracted to one another, mainly since neither were ever single at the same time. Also, he’s still madly attracted to his wife, who’s been with him since teenage years. Though when asked how they stayed together all that time, his simple answer was that he was lucky. Their twins [name_m]Parker[/name_m] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] mean the world to them and he considers himself lucky that he and his wife were born emotionally and physically ready to take on parenting when they did. [name_m]Romano[/name_m] has been on better terms with [name_f]Liv[/name_f], seeing [name_f]Liv[/name_f] is very in-touch with other people’s perspectives. He congratulated her on her new degree and career choice and while he doesn’t know anyone other than [name_f]Liv[/name_f] who has/had an eating disorder, his wife does. [name_m]Romano[/name_m] knows it’s not easy but is always supportive of brave people turning to [name_f]Liv[/name_f] for help.

[name_m]Romano[/name_m] currently has a job as a head chef after some time as a line cook and he’s excited for his own promotion. While he and his wife had twins in their 30s and are stopping with two, he’s excited about [name_f]Emily[/name_f] starting a motherhood journey. [name_f]Emily[/name_f] and [name_f]Aspen[/name_f] have gotten a lot of support from [name_f]Julija[/name_f] and from Aspen’s sister [name_f]Briar[/name_f]. [name_f]Briar[/name_f] is a single mother through IVF and is fine without a partner which [name_f]Aspen[/name_f] has been supportive about. At first [name_m]Romano[/name_m] wasn’t sure of Emily’s relationship with [name_f]Aspen[/name_f] since he worried he just wanted children because he’s “old enough”, or because people keep asking, not because he was ready. But the two of them were always about getting involved in things only when they’re ready. This is why they’re still boyfriend and girlfriend and haven’t discussed engagement or marriage yet, feeling their relationship is stronger on their own desires, not on “steps”. [name_m]Romano[/name_m] married his own wife after 10 years of dating, though they did start out the relationship as teenagers, not that they’d invalidate any time spent together. [name_m]Romano[/name_m] has no desire to pressure [name_f]Liv[/name_f] into a partner or children, feeling she has much to celebrate with her career now, though he wouldn’t do it with anyone. He and his wife are both excellent at boating and love to boat in Canada’s oceans or lakes with the boat they’ve received as a wedding gift from Romano’s father.

cw: fertility issues mentioned

[name_f]Mackenzie[/name_f] " [name_f]Macey[/name_f] " [name_f]Emma[/name_f] Stringer (35) is Romano’s wife and mother of the twins, [name_m]Parker[/name_m] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. Having her husband take on her surname meant everything to [name_f]Macey[/name_f], as she’s an only child and continuing her legacy is particularly meaningful, as her family had a period of fertility issues - the generation before [name_f]Macey[/name_f] herself was born. It’s considered fairly ironic that she had twins because of this, but [name_f]Macey[/name_f] couldn’t be happier, although ahe and [name_m]Romano[/name_m] don’t feel pressured to conceive any time soon - and should it not happen again, it won’t bother them either.

Currently on maternity leave, [name_f]Macey[/name_f] does miss her work as an MUA sometimes, however she’s been quelling this by practicing whenever she can at home. [name_f]Macey[/name_f] started her work in high school actually, doing makeup for the school productions, although she wasn’t entirely confident about the future of her then-hobby becoming her career. Her best friend - who has a toddler son - insists that once [name_m]Parker[/name_m] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] start school they’re going to be envied by every other kid once Halloween rolls around, given their mom will naturally be able to deliver impressive looks.

Right now though [name_f]Macey[/name_f] has to stop them from painting themselves, as the moment either one of the duo notices pens or paints, they’re determined to try make a grab for them. There isn’t a leader-followr dynamic either, and [name_f]Macey[/name_f] hopes this remains for her kids, as she tended to find herself being told what to do in her first friendships, having a much meeker demeanour than she does now. She’s still someone on the quieter side, however now Macey’s defined her voice, she’s developed the confidence to have faith in using it.

[Lindseylloyd052399]

[name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f] [name_m]Reyes[/name_m] (34) is Macey’s friend and mommy to a little boy who lights up her world. She loves to look at the sun and is extremely family oriented. She gave birth to her son at her godmother’s house. She and her son like lizards. They crawl around the backyard and her son wants to grab one and have as a pet, but they run away too quickly! She’s Macey’s motivator and loves spending Halloween with the Stringers. Last time she took her son to see them, [name_m]Parker[/name_m] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] painted him. He thought it was great but she thought it was CRAZY! She is considering trying out for a singing competition.

[cara_murvolio]

[name_m]Raanan[/name_m] " [name_f]Rain[/name_f] " [name_m]Xavier[/name_m] Davidi (4) is Gabriella’s son, born to her and her partner of 7 years. The couple’s relationship can be a bit on-off at times, namely as Rain’s dad is very much a private person, so the idea of [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] entering a competition puts him on edge as he doesn’t want everyone poking into their family’s business, as he’s concerned as to how this could impact their son. [name_f]Rain[/name_f] himself is protected from this thankfully, as his parents adore him, and he’s close with both his Spanish and Hebrew routes through their efforts.

Although he loves seeing [name_m]Parker[/name_m] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Rain[/name_f] is glad he has his own friends in the neighbourhood, as they’re more active playmates than the babies - namely as it’s safer. His best friend is a little boy who lives on the same street and who’s moms’ met his parents thanks to his dad working with one half of the couple, both of them in curation at local heritage sights. This is partly why [name_f]Rain[/name_f] seems to be more and more determined to protect lizards, something his parents encourage whenever he mentions it.

Warning for drunken decisions.

[name_f]Talma[/name_f] [name_f]Yael[/name_f] Davidi (31) is Rain’s paternal aunt and understanding of her brother’s more private life. She knows [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] is likely different. Still, she doesn’t want [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] to be the type to have an idea, get fixated on getting said idea done, and forget about everything else in her path. She’s been through a hard engagement herself 6 years ago, mainly since it wasn’t supposed to happen. [name_f]Talma[/name_f] and her former partner were drunk at the time of the proposal. When they were sober, they realised what happened but both were too afraid to call it off. Both wanted to forget it happened and continue on, but both had terrible communication. They did try breaking it off and continue dating, but the relationship was never the same. [name_f]Talma[/name_f] doesn’t want to think about getting back together since unfortunately the last moments were so awry. She wishes she said no and always wondered how much differently that would have gone. She hadn’t tried to make it seem like it was entirely the fault of her former partner. Though she realised that even without the drunkenness, a proposal would have happened soon anyway. There was a ring after all. [name_f]Talma[/name_f] never considered spending the rest of her life with said partner so it would have been too soon anyway.

She’s glad she walks the terminal rather than walking the aisle. She works at an airport front desk. Originally she wanted to be a flight attendant, but decided she couldn’t be away from the people she cared about too much. She likes her job as it is and feels her brother is the same way about [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] wanting to compete on a singing level. Both [name_f]Talma[/name_f] and her older brother have careers that they like, especially the sweet bond [name_f]Rain[/name_f] has with the son of her brother’s co-worker. [name_f]Talma[/name_f] enjoys [name_f]Rain[/name_f] a lot and the bond he shares with the little boy, alongside [name_m]Parker[/name_m] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. Sometimes she thinks about family when bored at work, though it makes her want to leave even more, so it’s not her best coping mechanism. She can’t help it though. She’d consider getting into another relationship again but it’s not a top priority, nor would she want the person to be too comparable to her ex. [name_f]Talma[/name_f] rarely drinks anymore except on special occasions and even then, she’s not drunk. She is close in Hebrew culture and loves Rain’s equal closeness in Hebrew and Spanish culture. [name_f]Talma[/name_f] loves how the boy is a lizard lover, being a fan of reptiles and amphibians herself, and finding them underrated. She’s slightly allergic to mammals, which she clears up with medicine when around them, since she truly loves them as well. She has a hairless cat named [name_f]Mia[/name_f], whose smashed the stereotypes of hairless animals being “gross” or “creepy” and loves her kity very much.

[Lindseylloyd052399]

[name_m]Armani[/name_m] [name_m]Enrique[/name_m] Davidi (34) is Gabriella’s amazing husband. He and [name_f]Talma[/name_f] share a broad and vibrant siblinghood and he is enamored by his son [name_f]Rain[/name_f]. He is mesmerized by the Hebrew and Latin cultures intertwining perfectly.

He used to be an avid partygoer, seeing the sights and living the nightlife. To ease his quiet mind, he left the party scene, but stayed very closely enthusiastic with [name_f]Rain[/name_f] and [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f]. He retains much of his privacy, which sheds a peaceful light on [name_f]Rain[/name_f], giving the little boy hope that he would grow up the same.

His thoughts are very similar to his wife’s, sharing a mutual homemaking love while also adoring their careers. He and his wife both have younger sisters and develop a strong connection to how their lives were growing up.

As [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] ponders her chances at making it as a singer, she often gets told not to reveal her backstory. She worries this would lessen her chances given her awesome story. He and [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f] find one another’s lives amazing, and tell each other that every day.
