Lombardi- Birthdays and Destructive Behaviour

Tj hasn't been making the best choices lately, but when has he ever made good choices? He gets in a fight with some kid that stops by the house to see Alexia who recently turned 13. Alexia says they are just friends, she has no interest in dating at the moment. Tj doesn't care and thinks this kids HAS to be trying to take advantage of his little sister. Just because YOU would Tj doesn't mean every guy is like that!

Alexia turned 13 at the beginning of the round and has been focused on making friends. She brings home someone from school everyday! Her closest friends are Jade Martin and Lauren Appleberry.

The Lombardi parents sometimes make efforts to be involved with their children. Lindi and Norman gave Lindi a brand new stereo system for her birthday. Not to be outdone, Grandma Mary bought her a new pair of silver earrings. Alexia loves being a teenager, but Mary is already training her to be a cunning businesswoman. Mary decided it was better to have a backup heir, because she believe Tj will ruin everything that the Lomabrdis built.

While everyone is out of the house one Saturday, Tj invites a very willing Lauren Appleberry over. Tj knows she wants him as much as he wants her, and he really doesn't care that she's the same age as his sister and 2 and a half years younger than he is. This is the start of a very complicated and heartbreaking relationship...Maybe Mary is right about Tj and his destructive behavior.

Tj's best friend is Danny Martin. Mary thinks Danny is a good influence. Sure, he's a pleasure seeker, but he's also a budding businessman. Danny's taking over his grandparents flower shop after college. Plus, Danny sticks with one girlfriend!

At the end of the round, Connor celebrates his 13th birthday. He decides all he wants to do in life is have a happy family.

Lombardi- The talented, the shy, the mob boss, and the black sheep.

The Lombardi children have been experimenting in music lately, under the influence of their very musical mother. Alexia Jane seems to have a knack for singing, while Connor likes to play the piano. TJ, ever the black sheep, does not participate in music. Instead he focuses on other things...like cheating on his long time girlfriend Melanie.

Mary is visited by members of her mob at all hours of the night. They've been working their hardest on recruiting new members from all walks of life. Mary is an equal opporotunity employer, and is a believer in 2nd chances...as long as you are willing to do whatever it takes to get a second chance.

Connor is a bright and quiet boy. He doesn't have any friends besides his lovely older sister. Wherever she goes, he goes. Unless of course she's going somewhere while he plays his piano.

TJ takes his younger brother and sister to the park one day. Mary of course was suspicious, but Lindi defended her eldest son, saying he loved his siblings and wanted to do something nice for them. While TJ does love his brother and sister, he knew Mary wouldn't let him leave the house to go meet a "friend" of his...Melanie comes from good money, and is an orphan, meaning her whole fortune will belong to the Lombardi's when they marry. Mary is not willing to risk that fortune on her grandson'n escapades.

Lindi should start getting suspicious of her eldest child. He is uncontrollable...you never know what kind of trouble he could get into. Mary is glad he will be leaving for college in just a few short years and she won't have to keep a constant watch on him. In some ways she wishes she could go along, to make sure he stays away from one of his latest "friends", the very young Lauren Appleberry....
