#6 Henry and Janine McClean


Henry McClean moved to college after he came home after work to discover his father having sex with his then girlfriend. He was crushed, and mad that his mother had accepted it and was staying with him. Henry became some what of a player in college, not wanting a serious relationship so he could avoid getting hurt again. He was casually seeing August when he got another girl he was seeing Janine, pregnant. He let Janine move in with him and his other roommates (some cousins and friends). He tried to make it work with Janine but soon after the birth of their son James the fighting got worse and Janine moved out taking James with her. Henry remained a constant in James life, sharing custody with Janine. Henry had a few girlfriends that came and went before reconnecting with August a few years after graduating college. They married and had two children together, Lulu and then Zachary. James came to live with his father and get to know his siblings better. Henry became a fire fighter, following the history of fire fighters in the McClean family. Henry had the perfect life from the outside and the perfect lie on the inside. The truth is that he never got over Janine, they were both just too stubborn headed to admit when they were wrong. They didn't know how to communicate better. When Janine would come and pick up James, Henry in the past had let August deal with it but after hearing that Janine was recently single Henry knew it was now or never, he had to let her know how he still felt about her. They were not proud of their affair but they were still in love with eachother. Henry did not want to hurt August, he did love her but it wasn't the same way he felt for Janine. After Janine became pregnant again he knew he couldn't carry on anymore in his marriage. He told August and after a huge fight she left and divorced him. Henry married Janine a few short months later and welcomed a daughter, Willow. Now Henry is with his true love and can honestly say that he's happy and mean it.
