my wandering days are over
November 2035 - Abhijeet Turner is 26, Whitney Riley is 25, Keiran Riley is 1.
Abhijeet never thought he'd be a father. His own parents weren't really family people. They traveled all over the world with him in tow. Other people think it sounds romantic and fun, but he was thrilled when he started college and finally got to stay in the same place for a while. He was ready to set down roots in New Athens, put away his suitcase for a while, although he never gave much thought to settling down. But he's a father now, and that means he has new responsibilities.
"I'm going into business," he tells Whitney. "I'm opening a gallery."

It's been more than a year since Phoebe and Justus broke up, and she decides it's time for a change.

twin-prone
November 2034 - Alex and Piper Smith are 23.
Alex's life has unfolded so perfectly according to plan, sometimes he's tempted to pinch himself to make sure it isn't all a dream. At 23 he's a doctor at New Athens Hospital, just like he always dreamed of being. Since graduation, he and Piper have been living in Arcadia; they're just around the corner from his parents, and a block away from John and Abby. The house is small, but they have a big yard, and they adopt Jem and Scout from his parents.

not a con man, a con artist

Justus and Phoebe got engaged in college, but after college their relationship hits a snag due to their incompatible careers.

"Con artist," Justus corrects.

moving up in the world
November 2033 - Rachel Cooper and Genesis McCullough are 25.
Genesis is painting a portrait of Jillian and Jack's wedding. When they got married they didn't have enough money to have a wedding portrait painted. All they have is a photograph, which Genesis borrowed a few months ago to paint this portrait.

"It's really nice of you to do this. My mom really appreciates it," Rachel says.
"Well I want to get on her good side," Genesis says.
"She doesn't hate you..."
"No, but she'd be happier if I were a man. This is a sorry-I'm-your-daughter's-lesbian-lover-instead-of-her-husband present."
another Smith grandbaby
September 2033 - John and Abby Smith are 27.

family man
April 2033 - Arthur Cornwall is 54, Richie Gaunt and Ellie Cornwall are 25, Morgan Cornwall is 6 months.
Richie never thought he'd be a family man. His own family was so confusing - his parents divorced, then started dating each other. He knows they love each other, but they couldn't make marriage work. He loves Ellie, he has for as long as he can remember, but he wonders if their marriage will work any better than his parents did.
He is scared when he proposes, but once they are married, he knows it's right.
After graduation they move in with her father. They live in the townhouse Arthur and Rowena bought after they graduated, and they sleep in Ellie's childhood bedroom on the third floor.
