The months flew by, Cynthia had a good pregnancy and when the time came for her to give birth they moved into the birthing meadow which had the shelter of a beautiful old lilac tree.

Cynthia felt a little apprehensive but Sidney being a modern-day sheep said he would stay by her side throughout. Meanwhile Charlie the all seeing and knowing cat paced the wall waiting for news.

Finally a beautiful baby lamb was born it was a little boy and Sidney was delighted. Cynthia was concerned because her tummy was still hurting. She soon found out why when she found herself giving birth again!  This time it was a little girl. They were so surprised after only expecting the one lamb.

They laughed and cried with joy and decided to call the twins Lucy and Leon. They felt very blessed indeed.
