Leading up to birth

Childhood
As Jeanette entered grade school, her relationship with Kirsten worsened. Her patience was tested, and she developed a hatred for her mother. Kirsten always tried to repair their relationship, to no avail. She began to act out.

Teen Years
By now, Tristan had moved out to go take care of their ailing aunt June. Jeanette, now in high school began to hang out with her rebellious party-animal neighbor, Tiffany. The two became fast friends, much to the chagrin of both of Jeanette's parents. However, she also started seeing Dirk Moon, a junior. Although he was older, he treated Jeanette the way a woman should be treated, and her parents approved of their relationship. Jeanette even kept up with her schoolwork as well; it was her one ticket to getting out of this tiny town.

However, Jeanette began an affair with her friend Gary, who she started officially dating after Dirk found out and broke up with her. However, drama soon ensued.

Second semester of sophomore year, Mitch realized college wasn't for him. Second semester of sophomore year, he dropped out to Jeanette's chagrin. That wasn't the only reason she was mad at him. Mitch befriended a student named Leah Miguel, who obviously had a crush on Mitch. Jeanette began to despise her, despite him remaining faithful, and the two were sworn enemies. For her fiancé's sake, they tried to keep this rivalry to themselves. As if things couldn't get worse, she had received a phone call from Tristan telling her that her mother, Kirsten, had passed away. Jeanette hadn't spoken to her in three years, and only went to her funeral for her other mother's sake.

Adulthood

Her qualms with her husband would now have to be put aside, for they were going to be parents.

Mitch, through a bit of negotiation, managed to got his old job back. But he had to leave and meet his wife at the hospital. Audrey was born later that day.

Parenthood only made the couple more irritable. A few months later during a fight, an exasperated Mitch admitted he had feelings for Leah. This prompted Jeanette began an affair with Matthew, her upstairs neighbor, unbeknownst to Mitch and Matthew's wife, Caryn. However, her husband soon found out, and Mitch and Jeanette made the decision to divorce.

While they continued seeing each other, it took a hit to their relationship. After discovering that Dalton and Eileen used to date, she decided to break up with him.

Jeanette continued to focus on her career, and soon secured herself a position as an intern at the local hospital. Another surprise entered her life.

They soon began seeing each other, this time officially. However, they once again didn't last. Her coworker, Ifran, had planted a kiss on her. Although they never went any further, this was enough for Matthew to break up with her.
