Feel free to ask me questions. I won’t always be able to answer right away bc of work and life stuffs, but I’ll get to them as soon as I can.

Richter and Annette’s first child was a girl, Ileara Esther Belmont. It was a very difficult labor, lasting nearly 48 hours. Annette was exhausted and in pain afterwards, and the midwife put her on strict bedrest for a week (this gave Richter a lot of time to bond with his baby girl during her first few days on earth, which he attributes to their strong father-daughter bond.)

The labor was so rough that Annette wasn’t sure if she wanted to have any more children. But about 5 years later, she started considering it. Richter was a bit concerned, remembering how much pain Annette was in and how worried he was about her. The two of them talked a lot about it. Richter wanted to make sure that Annette knew that he supported her and that there was no pressure either way. “I’ll do whatever you want to do. I’m happy being a family of 3 and I’ll be happy if we become a family of 4. I want all of you to be safe and happy, that’s all that’s important to me.”

In 1776 Boston, Julia Belmont was confronted with an enemy she didn’t expect: smallpox. The epidemic raged throughout the city and she was worried about her 3-year-old son and herself. She knew very little about smallpox, only hearing horror stories from the neighbors. So Julia consulted with a group of Speakers she had befriended in the area. They were able to provide her with reliable information and suggested that both she and Richter get the smallpox inoculation. The Speakers even offered to watch over Julia and Richter for the next few weeks while the virus worked through their systems. The Boston Speakers either had the disease in childhood or had already been inoculated, so they were confident watching over the Belmonts. Julia took their advice and accepted their offer.

Luckily both Julia and Richter had mild symptoms and were able to return to vampire hunting at the end of the summer (well Julia was, 3-year-old Richter was babysat by the Speakers until mama came home.)
