Josephine and Raymond got married right at the start of Summer. The ceremony was attended by their friends and family, and the couple shared their first kiss at the altar. Josephine was happy, but couldn't help but feel a tinge of sadness that her older sister wasn't there to celebrate with them.

The wedding was great fun for everyone, especially Blaire and Cornelius who had never been to any kind of wedding before. They felt very grown-up, mingling with all the adults and cheering for the happy couple alongside everyone else.

Everyone watched as Josephine and Raymond shared their first dance. It was Josephine's mother, Nellie, who played the piano. The day was filled with so much joy for everyone.

Even Blaire and Cornelius got to dance as well. They tried their hardest to replicate the steps, and even though it probably didn't look as elegant as when Josephine and Raymond danced, they felt as though they were the only people in the room.

Once Cornelius returned from Britechester University, there was only one thing one his mind. His love, Blaire. They had only been able to communicate through letters during his time away, and he couldn't wait to see her again.

So, the first thing he did was to run to her house. This was all that had kept him going during the hard times at university. He was doing it all for her. Bettering himself and getting an education was an investment towards their future together. The only thing left now, was to ask her to marry him.

Cornelius had bought a ring for her on his journey home. It was his family, who had provided the money. They were more than happy to help him, and they all approved of Blaire.

Blaire, of course, was overjoyed with the proposal. There were no doubts in her mind, and she immediately accepted.

[simsforks]

Ever since Lucy had become a teen, Josephine had been so bored. The girls used to be so close when they were younger, and now they barely spoke, except from when walking to school (and even then, Lucy would often bump into her friends on the way there!)

Josephine, who before had looked up to her sister, had started to resent her. If Lucy wasn't gonna be interested in her, why would Josephine be interested in Lucy?

Luckily, Josephine still had her brother to play with, but it still wasn't the same. After all he was a boy, and Josephine thought all boys were dirty...

[simsforks]

The 1890's started off in Brindleton Bay with founders Abraham and Nellie. They lived in a small yellow farmhouse, where Abraham would take care of the farm and work on his writing on the side.

Then they had their first baby, Lucy. They had struggled quite a bit with having children, so they were overjoyed when Lucy joined the family.

Once Lucy was a toddler, they had their second child, Josephine.

And then after a bit of time they had Cornelius, their third and final child.

When Lucy was a teen, she met Joseph, who her father had hired to help him assist the farm. Abraham eventually found out the two had become friends and forbade them from seeing each other.

They kept sneaking around, and eventually started going further.

Cornelius started going to school, and quickly became the victim of vicious bullying. Here he first met Blaire, who was the only person who would ever stand up for him, but he was too scared to talk to her.

The family then moved to a much bigger house, still located in Brindleton Bay. Everyone was happy, except for Lucy, because this would make it harder for her to see Joseph.

Lucy and Joseph kept sneaking around and was eventually caught by Josephine, who proceeded to tell Abraham and Nellie.

They then tried to force Lucy to marry another man. Lucy refused and chose to run away with Joseph instead.

Lucy and Joseph left to Henford-On-Bagley and cut off both of their families in the process.

Cornelius became a teen and finally built up the courage to talk to the girl from his childhood, Blaire. She rejected him and called him a coward.

Cornelius decided he didn't want to be a coward anymore and got in a fight with a boy for calling his sister a whore.

This made Blaire apologize and the two started being friends.

Josephine became engaged to a man named Raymond Carrigan.

Cornelius invited Blaire to the wedding and she accepted.

Josephine got married.

Cornelius and Blaire shared their first kiss at the wedding.

Josephine had her first child, a baby boy named Matthew.

And finally, Cornelius became a young adult and went off to go to university. He promised Blaire he'd marry her once he returns.

[simsforks]

Cornelius had resorted to taking regular walks around Brindleton. It was almost unbearable to be home these days. Now that Lucy was gone everyone was acting... Off. Cornelius felt like he was going crazy.

One day he spotted that girl, Blaire, who always used to stand up for him in school. He had never gotten the chance to thank her, so he finally decided to build up the courage.

"Hello... Blaire, correct? I'm Cornelius." Blaire looked him up and down.

"I know who you are. You are aware of that, right?"

"Uhm... Yes. I just thought... Well, we haven't really formally met."

"I suppose not."

"I wanted to say thank you... For having my back even though you don't know me. That's very brave."

"Those guys are just awful. They think they can treat anyone they deem below them like dirt. I'd do that for anyone. I just can't stand it."

"You're right... I was thinking... Maybe we could be friends?"

"Sorry, Cornelius. I don't befriend cowards."

"Oh... Alright, then. Sorry for bothering you."

[simsforks]

One day when walking to school with Josephine, Cornelius bumped in to the boys who would always tease him.

"Oy! Cornelius! Wasn't it your sister who was that whore that ran off with some commoner? I bet it runs in the family!" They shouted, and pointed to Josephine. He immediately looked over at his sister, who just had a shocked expression. Of course Josephine had never been a victim of any kind of bullying.

A feeling of rage immediately overcame him upon hearing them talk this way about his family, and before he knew it he had charged towards one of them.

Josephine screamed out in shock. She had never seen her brother be violent before. Of course, she thought the boy had deserved it, but she also worried for her baby brother. She didn't want him getting himself hurt.

[simsforks]

"This is my wife, Blaire. She has recently given birth to our son, Hubert. He can be quite loud, so I hope you don't mind that your room is right next to his."

"A wife and a son... I can't believe how grown up you've gotten. Last time I saw you you were just a boy..." Lucy sighed.

"Yes... And Josie has a family of her own too. A boy and a girl. Her oldest is probably about the same age as..." Cornelius paused and looked towards Lucy's youngest daughter.

"Oh yes! I'm sorry, I've forgotten my manners. These are my girls, Effie and Della. They're all I have left now."

[simsforks]

Although Cornelius had been excited for his first day of school, things wasn't like he expected. If it wasn't for that big ugly birthmark on his forehead, things might've been different. The other boys call him a freak, and refuse to play with him. He wants to tell his parents, but he is too scared. After all, they don't like the birthmark either.

The only person who stands up for him is his classmate, Blaire. He thinks it's embarrassing as she's a girl, but he's thankful that there's at least someone who cares enough to say something. Cornelius often wonders why, because the two aren't even friends. Maybe one day, he'll find the courage to thank her.

(thank you so much to @applesaucesims for making Blaire!! She's so cute and I'm so excited to play w/ her. I hope it's okay that I aged her down to a child for now. She will revert to her OG form as soon as she becomes a young adult!!)

[simsforks]

Right as winter is about to end, Nellie goes into labor once again. After two children, she knows what to expect, so the process is a lot easier than before.

After a while Nellie finally gives birth to their third child. A beautiful baby boy, that they name Cornelius Abraham Landgraab. Both Nellie and Abraham are overjoyed to finally welcome a boy into their family. They feel that their prayers have finally been answered, and that their family is now complete.

[simsforks]

It's time for Cornelius to have his birthday! He ages up into a handsome young boy, who is both smart and kind. His parents are disappointed that the big birthmark on his face still hasn't faded, but they're holding out hope that there's still time for it to go away.

[simsforks]

One day, as Blaire and Cornelius was about to finish their dinner, they heard a knock on the door. They often had friends or family visit unannounced, especially now that Hubert was born, so this usually wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

However, Cornelius was shocked when he answered the door.

"...Lucy?" He gasped. "Is that really you?"

"I'm sorry, Cornelius. I know you must hate me now, but I simply didn't know where else to go! Something terrible has happened... Joseph... My husband... He's... He's been sick for a while. He died a few nights ago. We were poor as it was. Now we have nothing. Me and my girls are all alone."

"Shh, Lucy. It is alright. I'm glad you came to me. I am sure everyone will be happy to see you as well. Now, you and your girls can come inside and stay with us for a while until everything gets settled. I am certain my wife won't mind. Mother and father has plenty of money, I am sure they can spare you some so you can find something more permanent for you and your children."

[simsforks]

After the wedding, Cornelius and Blaire moved into a big home that their parents had acquired for them. They both felt as if though they had waited forever to finally be able to spend some time alone. Especially now that a few more doors had opened in terms of exactly what they were allowed to do...
