Year 1673

While the losses in Tartosa were weighing heavily on the family's mind, in Henford the Carlisle home was a bustle of activity. Sadly everyone there could relate to the losses felt but with the support, Orelia was doing as well as she could given the circumstances.

Gianna and Roberto were more than happy to help their son and granddaughter following their loss though it was hard to think of such a young lady being taken from the family like that they did their best. It was hard though since little Marina was only two when her mother passed. She didn't quite understand beyond that Orsa was gone now. As Spring came again, Roberto was already suggesting that Alessandro remarry as his daughter did need a mother in her life and while they would support him, it wasn't as if they were getting any younger.

It had been months since the loss of his sister but slowly but surely, Giovanni Cesare started to feel more normal as he got back to playing.

In Henford, Sarah was happy to share that she and Antonio were expecting once again and while both of them were fearful remembering the loss of their first son, they were hopeful that this time would be different and they weren't alone as not only were they expecting but so was Orelia.

Now that the losses weren't so fresh, Giulia did her best to cheer up for her sons that were still with her especially Giovanni Cesare as he was young enough to still need her help and support more than her oldest who she supported more by helping with the triplets.

With the triplets getting older and each day growing more independent, Ashley felt more confident in her skills as a mother though she feared another pregnancy as three was a handful already and the idea of a fourth or fifth or a dreaded sixth made her head spin. Giuliano was more than happy to try and avoid another pregnancy but more because he was eager to get back to having time to themselves as a couple, something the pair rarely did with three little ones always wanting attention.

Still as the year came to a close and the triplets were all sleeping though the night, albeit inconsistently, the young couple was happy to rest and reconnect together as they gossiped about how it wouldn't be long now until their kids were old enough to play not only with Marina but Katharine and Leonardo were expecting their first as was the Collari couple even with their issues, so the pair were already anticipating their free time in the next few years and celebrated the fact that they had three healthy children.

Year 1674 - Part 1

TW/CW: Child Death

The start of the year was largely uneventful until Sarah went into labor and delivered a healthy son on January 22nd who was named Clement, much to his parent's relief.

Just a few days shy of her 26th birthday on February 10th, Orelia delivered her daughter who she named Orsetta after her late twin.

Back in Tartosa things were going well for the Morosini triplets as they outgrew infancy and became delightful little children. Baldissere was a charming child who loved being social when he and his family would stroll through town while Bastiano tried to be independent though there was little he could do much to his displeasure since he was still a small child. Borthola preferred to stay by her parents side as she was a rather shy child now that she her intense moods had softened.

Clement grew fast definitely taking quite a bit after his father though it was still unclear if that was just for his infancy.

Orsetta also grew into a sweet girl and it was such a relief for Orelia that her daughter was growing better than Pasqueta had.

Still, with the little one's health doing well, Orelia was starting to feel stifled in Henford as she contemplated what would come next in her life.

On his parent's recommendation, Alessandro decided to remarry and given the close ties his late wife's family had with the Taroni family he decided that he would marry Gabriella's ward and niece, Shayna. Shayna knew that an offer to marry a wealthy merchant like Alessandro would not come around for her often being that she was an illegitimate child which was reason enough to take up the marriage offer but also, raising her status from illegitimate to a merchant's wife would also be beneficial for her younger sister so by early June the two were wed. That said Alba and Marina weren't too interested in what the adults were doing and spent most of their time together chatting about far more important things like toys and games.

Later that June on the 17th, Salvador Ludovici was born a healthy child.

The Morosini children started to drift apart as they grew older, for whatever reason toddlerhood made it so that Bastiano and Borthola could hardly get along with each other becoming more difficult to manage by the day but at least both of them were on wonderful terms with their older triplet brother.

With the little ones old enough to cause mischief, it was hard for Giovanni Cesare to get much attention but Giulia did her best to make time for her young son especially as his thirteenth birthday approached. She couldn't believe how fast time was flying by when she was reminded that her brother had turned thirty-five that July.

Of course, while the Morosini couple had hoped to avoid another child so soon, by September Ashley was quite certain that there would be a new addition to the family soon. Ashley did admit that she was nervous about having four young children so close together especially as her younger two currently did not get along but Giulia did her best to comfort her that they would manage it.

Sadly with no warning on October 7th, Baldissere went down for his nap and simply never awakened.

Ashley took the loss hard as she felt that her complaining about having four young children had triggered the Watcher's wrath and took her oldest.

Giovanni Cesare and Giulia decided to focus their grief into Giovanni Cesare's lessons and he was happy to distract his niece and nephew so that his brother and sister-in-law could grieve with the knowledge he gained. While Giulia's 53rd birthday was a milestone that November, she made no fuss about it given the loss of her grandson and sadly news came in that Antonio's oldest daughter, Tess, passed away from a snow storm on November 27th.

Year 1672 - Part 2

Olimpia was buried near her family shortly before the month ended.

As bright as the year had begun, the entire family was blown away at how quickly devastation had hit them. Ashley feared for what the future was to bring while Giulia couldn't help but wonder if she was destined to outlive all her family as of the ten children she had throughout her life, only three made it past that November.

While the family worried still about the future, the triplets grew out of the fragility of newness and grew into themselves. Baldissere inherited his grandmother's purple eyes while Bastiano was the only one to carry the magic of the Carlisle line within him. Borthola inherited her father's black hair and while they were far too young to tell which parent they took the most after, it was clear that each had their own distinct personality with the eldest being a sunny little boy, Bastiano was always on the move despite being too young to actually do much moving and Borthola was a very intense child where her moods were always very clear.

Giovanni's ghost visited at the end of the year with good tidings that the famine would not continue to last and he was glad to learn of the birth of his latest grandchildren.

The news that the famine would end soon was a relief that let the family finally release the breath they hadn't quite known they had been holding. But with that relief came the safety to finally allow the grief from their losses to hit them as the year drew to an end.

Year 1672 - Part 1

TW/CW: Death, Child Death

Marina grew into a curious little girl after outgrowing her infancy while age became all the clearer in Tala.

Now that Marina was bigger and required less constant attention, Orsa and Alessandro were able to give each other more of their time though their daughter was also happy to join in on cuddles from her Mama and Papa.

Despite living in the same home, the Morosini family were living two mostly separate lives as the newlyweds spent most of their time together in their own bubble of marital bliss before their baby was to arrive and Giulia was happy to watch her two youngest children grow into themselves.

But as the spring came without rains, Orsa was the first to vocalize the fears of another famine especially as San Sequoia had been hit with one for years now... she feared that it was now their turn.

Of course, the younger children were shielded from the worries the adults faced by making them study at least until anything could be officially confirmed.

In a small ceremony, Leonardo and Katharine married that March. Growing the Ludovici family in an official sense.

Now that Marcello was older, he was getting an education since it seemed that despite Landon's marriage, it may not result in children meaning he might actually be in the running for head of the household after his uncle but he had no interest in that. While Orsolina did want the security the head of household could bring them, she wasn't keen on making her son do anything he didn't want to but in a lot of ways he reminded her of Orelia who couldn't stay in Tartosa because of her personality. She wanted her son to find his own path and so despite not wanting to deal with succession issues she hoped that Landon and Jolene would work through whatever they had and produce an heir to lift the burden off her son's shoulders.

Juliette grew into a little girl who loved to play and laugh. While her father and stepmother could seemingly careless about her especially as they prepared for a new child of their own, her older siblings particularly her brother were actually quite eager to welcome her now that she was old enough to play with.

The fears of famine reaching the shores of Tartosa were true though as the Morosini crops died off. Luckily the family had plenty of stored foods so it was fine for them but the fears of an extended famine were lingering in the back of their minds. That said, the newlyweds had a youthful sense of optimism and support for each other. Giulia however couldn't help but remember the loss of her sister, Osana. Worse yet, war had broken out and while thankfully there weren't too many people enlisted, Giulia was saddened to hear that her former brother-in-law, the head of the Ludovici family had died that May shortly after his birthday.

Ashley's pregnancy was progressing nicely albeit she was much larger than anticipated but when the midwife revealed that there was certainly more than one in there, that explained it. With Ashley growing larger she was glad for Giulia's expertise with pregnancy and given that Giulia had delivered two sets of twins she was all too familiar with the oversized nature of multiples. In a way though it was a stroke of luck that the planting season had been blighted by the famine in that when the children were born likely near harvest time Giuliano would be around to help more what with having no plants to harvest.

July brought with it, Marina's paternal aunt also joining her as a little girl which was good since the Rossi family was incredibly close and now their girls could play together properly.

Unfortunately, Orsa had taken ill and any water she took in was quickly and violently expelled. She was drained all the time and it didn't help that the water they did have was mostly old and stagnant with the freshest water being given to her young daughter. The physician they saved up to hire couldn't really do much for her and on August 4th she went to bed to rest and never got up.

The losses didn't stop as Ashley learned of the passing of her two aunts to the famine which made her heart break especially for her cousins who she knew were now orphaned though only two of them were still pretty young.

Ashley went into labor late at night at the start of September and while the family had been expecting multiples early in the morning on the 2nd, the birth of triplets, Baldissere, Bastiano, and Borthola still left them unprepared.

Orsolina had long hid her own illness especially after the loss of her sister to keep spirits in the family as high as she could but even the water for the nobility wasn't the best quality and the same illness that had claimed her sister that August took her not two weeks after the birth of her brother's children on the 14th.

Marcello often spent time at the Morosini home following his mother's death. Cristofolo had always been closer to their paternal grandmother so both boys took comfort in the family that brought them peace as they processed the loss of their mother.

What should have been a happy time having welcomed three new infants into the family was soured not only by loss but by fear as young Olimpia also began to show signs of illness. She was often so weak and plagued by intense cramping and anything that went in was too often violently expelled.

But still, even among the worries the family made it work as they took shifts to care for not only the infants but Olimpia. Ashley was often asleep downstairs away from the crying infants when she wasn't needed to nurse them as she was constantly tired while Giuliano found that the time spent with his children kept him busy without the farm work.

But despite the constant care for the youngest of Giulia's children, on the 24th of October she slipped away after a long and drawn out battle.
