Telling the family.
I sat my family down and told them the story behind the curse and what it meant for us. I didn't know how they would react. Nevertheless it hurt so much when Papaya started screaming at me. She told me how selfish I was bringing children into the world and subjecting them and their children to the horrors of the curse. "why didn't you just adopt and allow this stupid thing to end with you." Papaya screamed at me "And you waited until I had Hunter before saying anything. I can't stand you, just stay away from me" she stormed out of the room. she was right the gypsy may have cursed Gifre but I'm the one that has cursed my family by not allowing the curse to die with me and to make matters worse I had just discovered I was pregnant again.
Although River and Clinton tried to convince me that I had done nothing wrong. I couldn't shake this feeling of guilt. Every time I looked at hunter or my growing belly a dark cloud washed over me. Papaya refused to share the same space as me.
I gave birth alone in the medical room. I found it difficult to bond with Ryder so River took over caring for him.

It was a few years before I started to feel like my old self again. By that time Hunter was a teenager (He'd dyed his Platinum Hair brown) and Ryder was about to celebrate his birthday.
It was then that my world fell apart.
My rock my darling River finally succumbed to old age.
