Maria is currently nearly completely healed up. She has had some complications with her healing processes over the past few months, such as small infections and whatnot, but for the most part, she healed up fine. There are clear scars on her abdomen, where Zack had cut her open. Also, her body is still frail and weakening by the day, but not as much as her mind has been deteriorating.
There are days when she seems mostly stable, but most days, she is clearly off-center. She tends to babble about nothing and most definitely treats her daughter as the spawn of the devil itself. She’s also begun to regularly quote scriptures, at least what she can remember of them, so some of the quotes may be completely twisted and convulted to the point that they are unrecognizable as real sentences from the Bible.
For the past week, Maria has been in back, busying herself with weaving a rather large basket. She has not given any straight answers as to what the basket is for, but does mention things about sending away evil. The basket is nearly done at the moment.
As for the midwife, she has determined that Jenna has been nursed to the point where she can turn to regular milk such as cow’s and goat’s milk for nutrition. Also, her breasts had run dry as her body was no longer producing the hormone to make milk. So, she has left to live in the house that Zack had rebuilt for her.
Maria: *softly hums as she finishes up the last of the basket then moves to retrieve Jenna. She pays no attention to Zack’s call and just sets the child inside the basket. Since the child is currently asleep, she makes no noise. Soon afterwards, Maria places the lid on the basket and begins to tie it up with several strings*
