Prom time was here again for the River household and the three teens, Merlin, Freya and Gwen were going.

Outfits were chosen.

Chapter 47 - Grey Haired Generation Two

Albin returned home from holiday committed to training hard at Sim Fu, sometimes training late into the night.

In a few months he had managed to gain a Level 9, black belt.

Chapter 46 A second visit to China

Merlin took a deep breath and savoured the mountain air. It was good to be back in China. He had been surprised at just how easily he had been able to convince his Dad that they should return.

Chapter 45 - Old Age

Albin felt as if he had become an old man overnight.

Chapter 44 - China

The guest house towered over them on a hill, surrounded by breath taking scenery. Albin took a deep breath savouring the scent of jasmine and let out a contented sigh.

Chapter 43 - The Expanding River Family

Albin held Gwen close, she was growing up so quickly, no longer a baby but a real little girl now.

Chapter 42 - Triple Birth

Charli felt huge, but happy. Albin had been so keen on another child. She had been getting used to her new found freedom with Merlin at school, but now with only a few weeks to go she didn't regret their decision.

She now felt only impatience to meet their new baby. Albin on the other hand seemed to be getting more and more restless as the time for her to give birth approached.
