1524. One year later, things have recovered slowly in Urbino. So far, the new harvest seems to be approaching nicely, and the people, though wary, were optimistic. Just in time, Lucrezia got pregnant again, and she soon found the public eyeing her with great interest. The people were a superstitious bunch, as Romolo said, and they connected her pregnancy with the crops' fate. And indeed, it seemed as if a connexion almost existed - both fared hardly, and yet both succeeded. The crops were healthy and the harvest bountiful, and Lucrezia, too, bare twins instead of one son! The twins were named, as usual, after various family members, but this time Romolo and Lucrezia decided to incorporate the common names from around them as well. As a result, Tonio and Fede were quite popular with the masses, even more so than Vanozza, Perotto, or Claudia.Meanwhile, their unit as a family has grown closer and closer. Romolo and Lucrezia, while never passionately in love, had found themselves loving each other in an almost deep friendship-like way. They confided in each other, trusted each other, and while never lusty they were the closest friends they each have. And growing to their love was their mutual affection for their children - bright, cheery Vanozza, quiet, calculating Perotto, gentle, fairy-like Claudia, and even the newborn twins. And so far, their relations with their extended family were going on well - Francesco della Rovere had seemed to withdrawn all of his hostile intentions, much to his sister-in-law's relief, and the new Medici Pope seems to be holding on to his papacy quite tightly.
