The Blanes

The Blane "family" includes three families, that of Timothy and Elizabetha Blane, Katie and Alison Morgan and Stephen and Claire Jackson.

Blane and Echo have four sons in Hunter, Marco, Thorne and Darcey who unfortunately died by miscarriage; the only one that Echo and Blane have suffered through. They have eleven daughters; Natale, twin sisters Katie and Alison, Athena who is Thorne's twin sister, twin sisters Camilla and Carmen, Velvet, Benedetta, Autumn and Alyssa. They also have two daughter-in-law's in Summer Ward Blane and Vanessa Mae Jackson Blane; and two son-in-law's in Harley Davidson and Blake Ward.

Katie and Alison were best friends with Blane (and later Echo) while they were at school at Hogwarts. However, they grew apart when the Blane's moved to Italy. However, they reconnected some years later and were thrilled to have their best friends back in their lifes. They have three sons, twins Theo and Eli and their younger brother Phillip. They have two daughter-in-law's in Abigail Jackson Morgan and Coral Porter Morgan.

The third family is that of Katie's sister Claire and her husband Stephen Jackson, who is Topaz Ward's husband Leonard's brother. They met through an extended family BBQ one summer and hit it off almost instantly. They have one daughter in Vanessa Mae, who got married to Marco Blane.
