the Hollander cousins group chat throughout the years

Notes

this week at work has been endless and my brain is soup. here is yet another wip <3

-

in this fic, David is the youngest of his siblings. his parents had 4 and were satisfied but then oops David came along! so Shane is (almost) the youngest of all his cousins, and is the only only child of them all

Matt, Kevin, and Daniel are the sons of the first Hollander son (Christopher)
Anthony and Laura are the children of the second Hollander son (Douglas)
Nicole and Rachel are the daughters of the first Hollander daughter (Elizabeth)
Stephanie and Ben are the children of the second Hollander daughter (Theresa)

Rachel is 1 year older than Shane while Ben is less than a year younger. Matt is the oldest of them all

See the end of the work for more notes
