The addition of new members to the family is always a cause of celebration in the Rabbitfangs clan. On this bright, sunny spring morning, Jessamine is surrounded by her elder daughters who are eager to greet their new siblings. Alice kneels to listen to her mother's belly, and the young life growing there, while Joan clutches her mother's hand, eager to lend Jess any assistance she might require. Nothing could make Jess prouder than knowing she has such wonderful children.
