(Blogger's note: I've never seen a family sim roll up a fear of having children, but after the second set of twins were born, Jerald has consistently rolled up the fear of having a baby.)
The Macbeth household had gotten quite large last season with the birth of another set of twins. Funny how things had changed for Maria, who initially had doubts whether she would find Stratfordshire exciting enough, has settled down into married life. Her propensity for twins is even scaring her family oriented husband Jerald. Teens Alyssa and Ariel have started high school and have yet to discover boys (a good thing in this household).
Alyssa went to the pet store to get a new collar for Buster and fell in love with an old dog named Adar. She didn't want Adar to die alone, so she brought her home.
Leaving the babies in the care of their twin sisters, Maria and Jerald snuck off for a weekend getaway to a Far East destination.
Where they learned an interesting legend.
Meanwhile Buster and Adar of like mind. If Jerald thinks the doghouse is weatherproofed for rain, then he can sleep in it.
Maria was very happy Buster liked his new friend. It was just too bad they couldn't have rescued Adar sooner.
The twins had their first birthday.

Adar is great with the children.
Ann seems to hold a particular fascination for her.
Always the active one, Alan will be running soon.
Jerald taught Ann all about Teddy Bears.
Round 5 Summary: Maria and Jerald went on a short Far East vacation. Alyssa brought home elder dog Adar. Both Alyssa and Ariel brought home good grades. Maria went on dream dates 13 and 14 with Jerald. Jerald was demoted (chance card) and promoted back to Desk Sergeant. The twins learned potty training and to walk. Ann learned to talk.
I have seen several family sims with baby fear over the last months, and not always the ones with the biggest families. Some roll baby fear after they get pregnant, even young mothers. Some develop fear of babies for some years after a childbirth (which I can certainly believe). I even have a family man who only had one child, then stopped rolling the baby want. I don't have any hacks related to procreation, so I suspect FreeTime or Bon Voyage may have titled the table a litte.
