so! no that i re-installed the game. i came back and a couple had died. they had NO children so i had to start over. luckily i found a rainbow girl without too much trouble. i then got a proposal from someone who was close enough to the bottom for my liking. so i married them and instantly 'paired' them.
I walked away to let them.. do their thing... and when i came back a baby had been born! so i look at the family page to see what head it is...and 3... THREE heads had shown up!!!! TRIPLETS!!!
three blonde darlings...i hope they'lll have a rare child in the future but for now im ok with trying to raise 3 little boys
