Yeah, so after I fixed Adriana's and Marcus's clothes, the game crashed. That's why they're wearing different clothes from before. Not many pictures were taken for this chapter, either.
------------------------------------------
Life was relatively easy after the twins were born. Alex settled into the school life easily, and Boyd went back to work after having a week off. That meant that Katrina was in charge of preparing Adriana and Marcus for the life of a child.
She was a very dedicated mother, and now that she got to spend more time with her children, she was all the better for it. As for Boyd, he was mostly absent from the twin's lives, but by no means was he neglectful. He spent most of his days off with the little ones, teaching them both as best he could.
Meanwhile, Alexander learned to occupy himself, which was no problem for someone like him.
"Y'know, I'm really not sure if it's good for him." said Katrina one night, worried that her firstborn might be feeling a bit left out, a feeling she had shared when she was growing up.
Boyd shared her concerns, but said nothing in reply. He loved Alexander as much as she did, but there really wasn't much else they could do for Alex. He seemed to be doing well for the time being, and the twins needed more attention with every coming day.
"Boyd? We can't just leave him like this. He's a growing boy, and he needs his parents." Katrina sighed, her own thoughts swirling with what might happen should Alexander be left to his own devices.
"I know, I know. It's awful that we can't spare any time for him, but the twins need just as much, if not more care." he really never wanted to do this, to have to choose between which child he would care for the most. It was an awful thing, and in the past he had hated it when he had seen other households doing it. Now he was doing the same exact thing, and it sickened him.
"Oh, Boyd. We're stuck, aren't we?"
------------------------------------------------
However, at the end of the day, they both wanted another child. They knew that doing so would force them to stretch their time even further, but wishes were wishes and Watcher approved. If only the consequences wouldn't leave their children starving for attention, then maybe they wouldn't have felt so guilt-ridden afterwards.
--------------------------------------------------
So there goes the three children limit. I wasn't expecting it to last, anyway.
Yet another short chapter. I'm kinda bad at that.
