After a year apart at college, Alyson, Delaney, Olivia, and Ximena are reuniting in Chicago. Jon and Alyson recently purchased a brand-new car, a black Toyota Rav4.
Shortly after, Chandler took Alyson, Delaney, Anthony, and Daniel to Gurnee, IL, in 2012, to spend time with his kids at Six Flags Great America and Gurnee Mills Mall.
Daniel and Olivia kept in touch with their seven-year-old daughter Natasha, taking her to Disneyland. Eric and Jude wanted to get to know Daniel and Olivia better and find out why Natasha is the way she is.
Rosalia and Patrick welcomed a son, Theodore Michael Alvarez-Martin, in May 2013. Theodore for Patrick's father, Michael for Olivia's father, who helped her get back on her feet.
Daniel also recently flew to Chula Vista, California, and stayed at a hotel near the Mexican border with Ximena in Mexico City to visit her hometown, discover his girlfriend's culture, and visit her great-grandmother Sofia's burial.
Olivia holds a pregnancy test and an ultrasound photo, and Anthony has a pair of boy shoes with a cute sign reading 'Baby Boy Donavon-Peterson, Arriving 6/10/12'. They share a kiss.
Michael also began early retirement after his injury, as he wanted to spend time with his family and be a grandfather to Olivia and Anthony's little boy, who would be Olivia's second child and Anthony's first. Olivia was excited to be a mom again on her terms.
Delaney's Doctor at NYU helped her with her physical therapy because she felt her kidneys were making her sick.
Justin flew from Georgia to New York City and stood by her, helping her. Delaney began doing workouts, drinking protein shakes, and jogging to help. Justin and Delaney go for runs together in Central Park during summer break.
In a quiet, misty district of Himachal Pradesh, in a small orphanage called Sparsh Ashram, lived a fragile, gentle girl named Ishara. Her eyes held a quiet innocence, untouched by the harshness of the world, yet shadowed with a deep, unspoken sorrow.
When she was only four, her stepfather-the one who had once called her his life-had left her. He discovered she was the product of her mother's betrayal, and in his heartbreak, he turned away. Since then, Ishara had grown up in the soft, lonely halls of the orphanage, her heart tender, her spirit delicate, carrying a pain that even time could not erase.
At fifteen, she was still small, almost like a fragile bird in a vast, unkind sky-beautiful, innocent, and quietly brave.
