SWEETHEARTS Michael Fernandes and Cheryl Holden show off the family they started at 13 and 15 - and reveal plans to wed. Nine years on from son Liam's birth, they have defied the odds and had two more boys. Michael, 22, said: "Everybody said, 'You'll never last with a young child'. We showed everyone we are meant to be together."
He was 13 when neighbour Cheryl, 15, got pregnant. They decided to keep their baby and Liam arrived when they were 14 and 16. They now have two more sons - Bryan, three, and Archie, 11 months.Landscape gardener Michael did odd jobs to support his family while at school and is proud to be raising them without sponging off the state.
