A newly-divorced single mom, Ella would be the first to admit that the situation she finds herself in is all of her own making. Living out of her friend Jayanti's spare bedroom post-divorce, the support of her friends and family has proved critical in caring for her newborn son during his fight with leukaemia. She will soon be returning to work part-time to reprise her role as the Physics teacher at the Deveraux College.

After many months of trying for a baby, unbeknown to her husband, Ella successfully resorted to a one night stand in the hopes of becoming pregnant. Born early into the wee hours of the 15th February, 2116 at the Deveraux College, Isaac was brought to Boston General for further tests and treatment for neonatal jaundice shortly after his birth, however it later transpired that this was merely a symptom for the leukaemia. Isaac's early illness forced his mother to reveal his true paternity, in the form of Ben Chase. The only child to have been born at the College in the last decade or more, Isaac can always be found being doted on by a multitude of students and staff alike.

A UN ambassador, Amelia met her husband while working at the headquarters in New York City. She was soon posted to Islamabad, Pakistan where her only daughter was born. She was determined to carry on her work no matter the risk to her life. She was killed in a terrorist attack when Ella was ten years old.
