Soon Aiden was a handsome teen making A's in the private school Christian had gotten him in and also working a job in the oceanography career. I decided to take him and Christian out to celebrate his achievements and I also asked Daniel to come along. Me and him had gotten pretty close since AJ and Arlen had gotten married.



AJ and Arlen were settling into married life and were actually doing well. AJ took her out on a regular basis so that they kept the romance alive. They were even talking of expanding their family with a couple of kids. Once again it seemed that I was wrong.



Soon Jordan had graduated from college and her and Damien were getting married. I had convinced them to move in with Angie and me and Jordan decided she wanted a small ceremony at the house with just her family and friends. We dressed up the back yard and gave her the wedding she dreamed of.



Soon my last child was happily married. She was no longer Jordan Taylor, the little girl who loved to dance more than anything; she was now Jordan Hammond, wife, friend, and one day mother.



The ceremony went wonderfully and it turned out that the house we chose was perfect for it. Jordan was extremely happy and Angie was so proud that all of our kids were happy. We had done a pretty good job raising them!



We had a nice little reception inside the house with lots of food and music. Aiden was already thinking of college and had decided to major in biology since, like his father, he was in love with the sciences.



AJ and Arlen were already expecting their first child. While Arlen was super excited, AJ was a bit worried that he would not the the best father in the world. But he knew that he would love their child more than anything. I told him I had complete faith in him.



Aiden was soon a young adult and was college bound. We were so excited for him! He was ready to begin the new part of his life although he was sad that he would be leaving home.



Kasha had also grown into a beautiful teen. Christian was afraid he would have every teenage boy in the neighborhood after her! But she was just as smart as she was beautiful.



Christian and Anna were both getting along in age and were happy that their family had turned out so well. I was so happy that I had been wrong about them. Anna was a wonderful woman and a great mother.



Christian found it really hard when it was time for Aiden to leave for college. It was just terrible for him. But he knew he had raised a good son and was confident that he would do well.



To their surprise, AJ and Arlen had twin girls! They named them Gabriela Elise and Rochella Jalise Taylor. They decided to give all of their kids two names. The girls were just too cute!



AJ fell into fatherhood just fine. He adored both his girls and was excited about having at least one more child, hopefully a boy. Even if it was another girl I don't think it would have mattered. He loved those girls to distraction!



Angelica's death was especially hard on him. He felt like he had gotten so caught up in his own life that he wasn't around as much as he should have been. We all tried to comfort him, especially Arlen, but it was very hard to reach him.



He threw himself into his work and he and Arlen began fighting more. She couldn't understand why he wouldn't talk to her and why he was just shutting her out. She was also afraid that he was once again talking to the woman he had cheated on her with when they were in college.



Poor AJ just didn't know what to do. He knew the path he was on was going to cost him his famliy but he didn't know how to stop. We all hoped that he could get it together before it was too late......
