The Tilney Family Album: Volume XVII
Time to meet the nooboo!
As it happened, Eleanor was already pregnant when the alien menace whisked her away, and the baby boy is Esther's, with her deep blue eyes. They name the new arrival Ellis.
(I confess I was a little disappointed by the lack of alien progeny, but I guess there’s still time!)
What more could Esther want from life? She has just married the love of her life, and now she's a mother too!
The new parents take it in turns to stay at home with their young son. One afternoon - shortly after Eleanor has put Ellis down for his nap - the family has an unexpected visitor. Lillian - the fiancée of Eleanor's cousin Nathan - drops in while mysteriously in character.
She's not really known to the family, but it seems that Lillian just happened to be in that part of town, and decided to take the opportunity to introduce herself. And wake up the baby.
Being the curious soul that she is, Eleanor can't help wanting to know just how much Lillian identifies with her llama persona?
Lillian tries to explain that it's not so much about being a llama, as channelling the ineffable spirit of llamaness into everyday life. Well, it's certainly an interesting philosophy.
Lillian has fortuitously coincided her visit with Ellis's first birthday.
No, it's not just Ellis's stinky nappy that is causing Eleanor's nausea...
There's another unexpected arrival, and this time it's a new baby sister for Ellis - welcome to the family, Esme!
He's quite happy to have a new sibling, but can't wait for her to grow up a bit, so that they can play together properly.

Perhaps as a result of being exposed to Lillian's extravagant headgear at such a young age, he also won't do anything or go anywhere without his green monster hat.
