Ultimate Decades - 1300s 1.2

 1301

Evelyn found herself very nauseous

She wondered if she was with child

 One test later and she was!

Evelyn cross stitched until Adam returned 

Adam returned from foraging and told him the good news

He seemed happy enough

Mary came over to visit and Evelyn told her the good news

They then judged Adam while he fixed their chamber pot

Adam woke up needing a vacation already

Evelyn's belly finally popped

And with the belly came an array of mood swings

Adam decided to go hunting for a while

1302

"Well Daisy, I think we're safe from Mama's wrath for now"

Adam escaped on a trip to the market

Things calmed down by dinner time

Surprise!

Louise was suffering a little

"Ugh"

James & Louise believed in 'free roam chickens' and they often liked to explore the house

Louise grew up on a farm so she loved the animals on the farm

Especially the chickens

James returned from his delivery to the local pub

"James! I am with child"

James had...a delayed reaction

Louise waited with anticipation

"That's great, Louise. I'll build a bassinet tomorrow"

Louise figured he was just nervous and things were normal once more

(James was happy to have children so I don't know what was up with his reaction lol)

Meanwhile with Mary, she received news that Evelyn gave birth to her son

She wished that she would be with child soon

Evelyn and her son, Ronan, both survived the birth

(the game named him Ronan and I thought the name fit the period so I left it as is)

Joseph and Ronan had the same naptime

While Adam & Evelyn were doing chores, Joseph was on grandpa duty

Evelyn was ovulating and was a menace

 Don't tell Ronan his parents are doing the deed downstairs

Joseph was keen to offer any fatherly advice

"Now son, I know it's been a while since there were any children in this house but I am a tome of wisdom. I raised you two boys on my own after all."

Evelyn was a dedicated mother and was perfectly happy singing to Ronan all day

The washing was getting out of hand though

Evelyn was still a menace but Adam wasn't complaining

Ronan is an infant now and survived another day

"He almost made it"

"Don't tease your father, Adam. He's over 40"

Ronan looks most like his mother but I think he has Adam's nose

"Goodnight, sweetheart"

Evelyn is pregnant once more

Adam wasn't exactly shocked considering what they got up to the last few weeks

He was still excited though

--

Fun fact: Pregnancy tests did indeed exist in the medieval period. Escentially, a needle was placed in her urine and if it turned rust red or black she was pregnant. Let's just pretend the ladies did this.

Ages as of 1303:

I goofed up the ages originally so I'll edit when I'm back in game

Ultimate Decades - 1300s 1.1

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. 😅
