Yes! It's time for January birthdays! It was kind of a short one last year but this is kind of a bumper edition which should make up for that. And I have more CC now, so everyone looks prettier as well. ;) Okay, let's go!

Hope Novak has now entered her second trimester and her little baby bump is growing every day!

Clarke 2

Calvin and Aaron Clarke started dating in high school, though it was a relationship that was conducted semi-secretly for the first several months. Aaron was not yet "out" to his parents but found that once he told them, he was all the happier for it.

They attended Suffolk University together, with Aaron intending to go into journalism and Calvin not having much of a clue what he wanted to do. They moved in together, along with Aaron's best friend Maia, after graduation and Calvin joined Sullivan's basketball team.

Just a few years after their wedding in 2032, Calvin and Aaron bought a house and began the long process to adopt a child. First came Amy, then Natalie and finally Curtis. The couple feel like their family is complete now and are very happily living in Sullivan.
