1300
In 1300, Adam and Evelyn got married
With a first interaction like this, babies should be upon us soon
Evelyn's older sister, Mary, popped over for a visit
"Mary!"
"Sister!"
"How is farm life?"
"I'm still getting used to it. It's so different from the city"
Meanwhile, Adam's father, Joseph, went fishing to leave the women to it
Evelyn's cooking skills weren't quite up there yet (and Adam was nearly mauled by a bear so no protein...) so it was gruel until further notice
It's baby making time~
Evelyn spends the majority of her morning doing laundry
"Somehow I didn't think this is what the farm life would be like..."
"....."
"Me too. Mr. Rooster, me too"
(the rooster has a name but I did not write it down. lol)
Daisy the cow is currently Adam's favourite child
Evelyn found herself being done with her chores early in the day so she took up cross-stitch
"Ouch"
The young couple were being cute when Joseph came in to yell at them
God forbid anyone hugs around here
Another day, another baby attempt
"The gruel tastes different today, Evelyn. Trying something new?"
"Well..."
Evelyn's till working on this cooking thing
Evelyn was doing her chores while being judged by the rooster
"Good job, girl!"
The rooster judges silently
It was then that Evelyn's baby dreams were put on hold
The monthly 'illness' had arrived.
Time to get the rags
Since Evelyn wasn't allowed near the garden currently, she spent more time on her cross-stitching
Mary came to visit
"Sister, I heard you're banished from the garden"
"Unfortunately, yes."
During her confinement, Evelyn thought she'd work on her culinary skills
Gruel got tiring after all
So a vampire came in and drained poor Adam
With Adam still laid out, it was up to Joseph to pick up the slack
He didn't seem all that happy about it
Evelyn was still in confinement but Mr Rooster was happy to keep her company
1301
It's time to check in on the other households
This is James, he's Adam's older brother
He lives in the city and makes mead for the local pub
(James has a wife, Louise, who I didn't grab a photo of)
On the other side of town lived Mary and her husband, Darius
They too hoped for babies.
Back with Adam, he took a trip to town to sell their crops
Now that Evelyn could finally leave the house, the baby making continued
That was until Evelyn puked on the floor
Hmmm....
--
The fact that I had to research to what menstrual cycles were referred to at this time is telling. lol
Then I went down a rabbit hole where I learned that it was believed that women were sick and would infect the crops. lol

I'll be spending most of the time with Adam/Evelyn and the weekends with James/Louise & Darius/Mary.
I've come to realise that I went with all dark hair/blonde hair couples oops. Louise is blonde too. omg
I didn't mean to I swear. I just picked some older models from my gallery and edited them to make them more medieval. I didn't change their hair colour so...my bad
If I need to make families for future marriages, I'll change it up. 😅
