Year 1684

TW/CW: Infant Death, Child Death

January brought with it Marina's paternal aunt, Alba, celebrating her thirteenth birthday as the two girls did their best to adjust to being on their own, Giulia couldn't understand leaving the two young girls and decided at least until her granddaughter was wed she'd move in to help them out as a responsible adult.

Giovanni Cesare did his best to look on the bright side of things which was difficult when his niece Livia passed away suddenly in her sleep on February 8th just shy of his sister's thirty-sixth birthday and news that the young Rossi boy, Iseppo, passed on May 19th reached his ears only to reignite worry he held for his own daughters.

As much as he knew he probably shouldn't, Giovanni Cesare found himself drawn to Nesta and the feeling was mutual. The more they spoke the clearer it became that her marriage was also due to their first surprise pregnancy and that the Carlisle couple barely got along. It felt inevitable that the two began to share a bed when the rest of the household was asleep or otherwise occupied. At least since she was carrying her husband's child there would be no surprise children between the two.

Time simply brought Kathy and Elisabetta closer together though once Elisabetta got comfortable with the girl it was very clear that she was not as reserved as her friend.

On June 18th, Nesta delivered a second daughter named Susana who was thankfully quite healthy though Nesta couldn't help but have a difficult time bonding with her which made her feel horrible.

To combat her feelings towards motherhood, Nesta would leave the children in the care of a nanny at times to slip away to spend time for herself so as to not be caught in the water. Though she wondered if it helped as she often felt guilty for taking the time for herself.

Paola made lovely strides with the help of her father and aunt as she reached her milestones with plenty of support.

Little Susana grew into herself and like her sister, she seemed to favor her father in looks though her parents were fine with that as long as she grew up healthy.

The joy for the family grew as Leandra grew into a lovely girl who seemed to favor her mother though Giuliano's features did seem to blend in well.

Not far behind her cousin overseas, Paola grew into a lovely girl ready to chase down her sister and her sister's playmate as she outgrew her cautious nature into one eager for independence.

Though sometimes that independence left her exhausted and napping in places that were not her bed.

Their songs are certified bops and great to blast on a road trip and their style was pure LA Mall Rat which, frankly, still iconic.

Year 1689

In Tartosa, young Vendramina grew into a little girl who definitely appeared to take more after her mother than her brother did.

While Cesare was also looking quite a bit like his mother though it was a bit too soon to tell who he truly favored but he had his mother's hair color at least.

While Nesta worried about her son's paternity coming to light her biggest concern for the time being was making sure he was healthy and growing up properly especially after the family's recent losses of two of their young children.

But by the time the Carlisle family was ready for visitors again and Giovanni Cesare could finally meet his son, Nesta was feeling ill again and she worried about having another child since it almost felt like each time she had one, another one of her children were lost not long after. But Giovanni Cesare was more concerned with the newest Carlisle member to pay too much mind to the potential pregnancy Nesta was trying to deny to herself.

From Tartosa, Giovanni Cesare and Orelia got news that their niece Leandra celebrated her sixth birthday with all the fanfare their family could afford.

But the joy of Leandra's birthday kept going as Paola also had her sixth birthday not long after her cousin.

With Paola's birthday, both of Giovanni Cesare's children were big enough to really take lessons from Talia's tome and while Paola was enjoying them, Elisabetta just liked knowing how to read and write like her friend Kathy was learning.

But despite the girls having perhaps inherited a love of the finer things in life, they both loved that their father had gifted the pair fishing lines so they could spend their days together.

Of course the gift had an ulterior motive of keeping the girls out of trouble as Giovanni Cesare spent more of his time in the company of the Carlisles but not just Nesta as time had brought him close to the head of the household as well and though he felt conflicted, Giovanni Cesare, was the partner in both of the Carlisle couple's affairs with neither knowing about his time with the other.

After his sister's sixth birthday that spring, Ricciardi grew into a young man who greatly favored his father in looks as summer came to a close.

The Morosini girls noticed their father's patterns as the year drew to a close that he would clean himself up after they were supposed to sleep or were busy and he'd leave returning hours later smelling sometimes of perfumes. After talking to themselves the girls came to the conclusion that he was courting someone in secret but while they were somewhat correct in that assessment they decided that their father was nervous about their approval since the passing of their mother years ago but seeing how he was happy about his secret love, the girls decided to confront him especially after talking with Kathy who was eager for gossip after December brought with it her mother having giving her a baby sister.

Elisabetta ended up being the one to speak with Giovanni Cesare and after telling him what she and the other girls had been talking about he seemed to relax. He was deeply grateful that his daughter didn't know about the affairs even if she knew he was seeing someone but hearing that his girls were okay with him finding someone else was a relief for a fear he hadn't even realized he had and that relief was visible to his young daughter who was content that her father no longer had to hide that he wanted a partner. Giovanni Cesare decided that now that his children were okay with a mother in their life maybe it was time to break away from his affairs and settle down properly.

Go-Go’s - “Our Lips Are Sealed” (1981)

Written by Jane Wiedlin and Terry Hall, “Our Lips Are Sealed” was the Go-Go’s debut single from the album Beauty and the Beat. It remains my favorite Go-Go’s track, due in large part to Wiedlin’s brief, but utterly unexpected and transformative, bridge.
