Hi this is the follow up to Keeping the Faith and Keeping it in the family but can stand alone so it doesnt matter too much if you have'nt read them. Just a short part, a brief description, to start off here we go:
Part 1
It had been five years since the inciddent with Dave and a lot had happened. The children had grown and Faith and Alyss had flourished into complete minitures of their parents.
It was breakfast time in the Rickman household and it was as busy and chaotic as ever. At one end of the large breakfast table sat Dennis, his head buried in a newspaper as he absently tried to listen to what his wife was trying to tell him.
At the opposite end sat the eldest of the Rickman children. Faith Angela Rickman was 10 and the mirror image of her mother, she even shared her mothers hazel eyes, shining from beneath a curtain of lucious blonde ringlets.
Next to her sat Alyss Amara Rickman. She was 9 and rarely left her sisters side. Her mousy brown hair hanging straight down her back made her the the child in the family that looked most like her father, her bright green eyes glittered attently as she listened, enthralled to what Faith had to say.
Seated next to his dad and currently whining about the lack of coco pops was Ryan Peter Rickman. The bubbly four year old was the apple of everyones eye. With similar looks to Faith he shared her mop of blonde of curls and pale complection, he too however had his fathers bottle green eyes.
Ryans birth had made the family complete, with two girls and a boy what more could two parents such as Sharon and Dennis ask for. The family had settled down into a normal life and sharon and dennis had begun to enjoy their children. What could possibly change that?
Lilly and Toby, thats what.
Next to Sharon, defiantly resisting his breakfast was Toby Mark Rickman. He struggled in his baby blue highchair and was remarkably strong for a one year old. His brown eyes and hair made him cute in a way no one quiete understood..
On Sharons other side in a matching pink highchair sat Toby's twin, Lilly Madison Rickman. The little girl gurgled and laughed at her mothers current situation. The happy baby was hardly recognisable and often confused with her twin brother. She too had hazel eyes and tufts of auburn hair sat in neatly arranged pigtails that sharon had done not five minutes before.
Yes the twins had definatly been a surprise and having five children within the space of ten years had been a difficult ajustment for sharon and dennis but the twins had been born into a loving family, a family where the children were happy and the parents were content. A caring family, a joyful family...a perfect family?
