Diminish the Torment Legacy Challenge- Rules and LP

Pregnancy was... Let's just say, it was hard.
I couldn't afford to slow down. We kept to the same routine of planting, harvesting, fishing and selling produce. Except now I had a baby growing inside me. I was constantly exhausted (though that might've been caused more by the "wibes" on the lot than pregnancy itself). The number of times I wet myself, ugh.

When it was finally time to get to hospital I was home alone, tired, hungry... I had just fought off some plasma bats and the most recent shame of not holding my bladder still freshly on my mind...
It was too much for me.
I just passed out.

But I did get to the hospital in time. There were some minor glitches during the childbirth, or maybe it's normal (it was my first time after all).
At times I felt I was in the weirdest fever dream, floating above the floor, through the doctors legs, while the doctor was standing there just helplessly waving their hands.
In the end it was all good, and I gave girth to a healthy baby.

We named the baby boy Grant.
No girl this time. I'm young enough to try again. For my relief, Grant was a good baby, slept a lot and ate well.
It was autumn but our mind was set on growth. We planted some new crop (supposedly oversized crop, we'll see if I got scammed or it's a real deal).
That same night was the first time Death arrived. Let me assure you, we're all ok. They came to collect the soul of a stray cat (so nice of them to care even for the strays, right?).
To my surprise Grim (that's their name) is a rather friendly character. Reaping souls is just something in the job description, there's nothing personal about that. I would have never guessed but Grim likes the color yellow. They should feel right at home with us :smile:

Grant is growing up fast. He's an inquisitive toddler, always eager to wander around and to make a mess here and there. It's a good thing Gabriel is a fantastic father and teaches Grant all the basic needs and everything else a boy needs to know.

I think Harvestfest is my favorite holiday so far. Don't get me wrong, the gnomes are creepy. The way they appear and disappear all the time is unsettling. But with all the other unsettling stuff happening in this lot, at least the gnomes come with some benefits. Once they've gotten their cup of coffee (or whatever else they fancy at the moment) - they start leaving all these seed packets around. Yeah! Free seeds! What's there not to like.

Gabriel has gotten all gray over the holidays. I don't mind the gray but it reminds me how fast the life goes by. I'm not ready to let go of him. I'm glad ageing has not affected his fertility. I'm not sure he was as happy about it when I announced I'm eating for two again.

Maybe he's worried he'll die and won't see the kids growing up? Maybe he's right.
But I'm not giving up my dream of having a daughter of his.
