The Cole Family
Cole Family History
Rich knocked up his girlfriend Inga in high school. He did the "right thing" and married her. Luckily both families were relatively well-off and they were both able to attend college while raising young Brittany. Inga got a degree in business, and Rich got a degree in IT.
Rich went to work, but Inga was pregnant again, so decided to wait a while before looking for a job. She was frustrated with having to become a "homemaker", but kept it to herself. After the twins were born, she started working part-time. She got pregnant again just about the time she was in line for a promotion, and is certain her pregnancy was the reason she was passed over. Bastian was born even though they were using condoms at the time.
With the failure of the condoms, she started putting out less and less. One fateful night, Rich had a liaison with a stripper named Shauna (illegally working at 15 years old). He regretted the act immediately, and rededicated himself to his marriage. He was contacted by Shauna a few months later to tell him she was pregnant. He tried to do the right thing by supporting Shauna financially, but couldn't bring himself to leave his frigid wife. He soon discovered that she was pregnant as well (much to her chagrin).
Angel and Rahne were born within two months of one another. Inga decided to focus on her career more seriously, and started taking birth control. Regardless, she got pregnant again with Veronica. At that point she divorced Rich after an argument about getting her tubes tied. After the divorce she got them tied. Rich eventually hooked up with Shauna and they had another child together. Rich has custody of his children every other weekend.

Angel
Angelica's world seems to revolve around the approval of her mother, father, and older siblings Brittany and Xander. She has distanced herself from her older sister Charity somewhat since she senses her mother and Brittany disapprove of her interacting with Charity too much since they were caught touching each other's privates 4 years ago, and Charity is also always fighting with Xander, so between the two she takes the side of the sibling who will not earn her disapproving glances from Brittany. She is not obsessive over gaining their approval, but it is all she understands as a means by witch to approach the world.

The Wells Family
Wells Family History
Patricia is the child of Irish Catholic immigrants. Her childhood was very strict and regulated, especially sexually. She wasn't even allowed to date until she was sixteen, and from the age of sixteen to eighteen she was only allowed on chaperoned dates. When she was seventeen, her parents had their second child, her sister Siobhan. Contrary to most stereotypes of an Irish Catholic household, she does not have a tremendous number of siblings. This is due to the fact that her father was, in fact, a self-hating homosexual; though no one alive is aware of this fact. Her mother was sex-deprived, and the frustration made her more severe with her children than she would otherwise have been.
When she finally went to college, and was exposed to the real world, she quickly discarded her strict upbringing for a more enlightened perspective. She became an ardent atheist bordering on anti-theism. She also did a LOT of college experimentation over a brief period of time, but the guilt produced by her upbringing pushed through her new-found logical view of the world to curtail her actions greatly. She met her husband-to-be, an Army Ranger in college. They had a long distance relationship for a while, and her discipline from her childhood actually made it work. After she earned her Bachelor's Degree in Communications she married her sweetheart. They moved to his home town where she got a job with the local radio station.
Her husband was away for long periods of time, generally acting as a military consultant with the locals in the Middle East. Dante was born during one of his absences, and Patricia devoured everything she could on the rearing of children. This was the start of her fear of germs, obsessive cleaning, and adoption of a vegan lifestyle. Her husband did not adopt veganism with his wife and child. Not long after Dante was born, Patricia's parents were killed in a collision with a fleeing criminal. Siobhan was sent to live with her sister at the age of eight years old.
Four years after Dante was born, his sister Ellen was born. A little less than a year later, Patricia's husband was killed in Iraq. The death of her husband cemented her dedication to raising her children well, exasperating her obsession with cleanliness and nutrition. She began to fear for her children's physical safety at that time, and decided to curtail any extreme physical activities that had too great a risk of physical injury. Siobhan was twelve at the time, but fortunately for her was not a terribly active child.

The Holiday Family
Holiday Family History
The Holiday family traces its roots back through Ireland and England to Scotland where the name was originally spelled many different ways. The Holidays are tangentially related to John Henry "Doc" Holliday, but they are not in his direct family line. They are aware of all of this because Chris is an avid amateur genealogist, and has done the research. He has a framed Halliday Coat of Arms and Scottish Tartan hanging on the wall in their living room, as well as displaying Halliday memorabilia throughout the house. The Halliday line is predominantly protestant, but Chris's family line descends from a member of the family that converted to Catholicism in Ireland.
Chris's father wanted to name a child Christmas for a long time, but for four children his wife would hear none of it. She finally relented on the fifth child, allowing Chris's father the joy of introducing his son as Christmas Holiday. Chris was teased about it some in school, but overall got more positive attention from his name than negative. This lead to him wanting to name his children to play off of their last name as well.
Chris met his wife-to-be Lynnette in college. He was studying psychology while she was studying literature. The two hit it off, and when they eventually started talking about children found that they both wanted a large family. Lynn also was ecstatic over the idea to give their children meaningful names based on their last name. They were married about midway through school at the age of 20. They had Summer that year, and moved to a house outside of Campus. Both parents worked nights to stay in college and raise their family while still tithing regularly to the Church and attending service. They had Winny the year they graduated with four year degrees.
Lynn started working as a professional proof-reader while taking care of the children while Chris entered medical school on his way to becoming a psychiatrist. They had March his first year in medical school. The next year Lynn's work garnered her a regular job with a publishing company where she was permitted to work from home, and the identical twins Autumn and Spring were born. Jan was born the year after that. The "Irish twins" Febby and April were born in Chris's last year of medical school.
Chris then moved on to his residency at a psychiatric hospital. May was born the first year of his residency, August the second. The next year Lynn was promoted to editor, and they had to move to Manhattan. Chris transferred his residency and they moved their massive family outside of the city, with Lynn commuting to work each morning. June was born in the third year of Chris's residency, and Lloyd on his final year.
They spent another eight months in New York, during which time July was born. Chris stayed on at the psychiatric hospital of his residency during those eight months, then they decided to move. The publishing company Lynn worked for was doing poorly with the decline of traditional publishing, and the couple was getting tired of the crime and high cost of living. Chris secured a position in a smaller town with a mental health doctor's group (consisting of neurosurgeons, neurologists, other psychiatrists, and psychologists); and they moved the family. Such a large family needed a large home, and Chris took a gamble and purchased an defunct public library in the old town center when the modern city buildings were build in the "new downtown". Most of the municipal buildings had already been demolished to make way for housing and small shops. The library is one of the last original structures from the old municipal buildings, and is surrounded by newer architecture making it stand out like a sore thumb. He paid for what renovation they could afford to make it into a home. The family moved in and worked nights and weekends to finish the library's transformation into a home. Octo, Nove, Decy, and Hally were born over the next six years. With the birth of Hally is became apparent that Lynn was unlikely to be able to carry another child to term.
