The twins were opposites. Dominic was pale like his father, whilst Naomi was dark like her mother. The River family was continuing to grow and now numbered twenty three living members in the town.
Merlin in the great family tradition had begun teaching him to fish and Owen was a natural.
Owen's little doll had disappeared in and in its place was a life sized doll that only he could see and hear.
Merlin had told his son about imaginary friends and shown him where the special potion was kept. So when Melanine finally asked for it he was able to hand it to her and she became a little girl.
Harriet was now toddling around and learning to talk, she had the green eyes of her grandfather Albin and her great grandmother Little feet.
Evelyn had fallen pregnant again and it was at one of Merlin's parties she finally went into labour.
Lance and Evelyn were proud to welcome little Cynthia into the family.
Aidan River had also started school,
whilst Benjamin was toddling around.
Of all of Laughing Bear's children Albin had been the most fruitful and Merlin wondered if they continued to grow at this rate they might have a whole town populated with just Albin's descendants.
