At 7:55am on Friday, Spring 19, Year 1, Maggie goes into labour with just 5 minutes to her work reporting time. We quickly change the schedule to a 10am reporting time to accommodate the birth process, which takes 2 hours.
What's funny is Anisa can continue talking with Maggie, while Maggie is in labour, and one the conversation options is Maggie screaming "AAAHHHHHH!" in agony.
It's a baby boy! And we name him Dylan Nasser-Vaughan, to honour his two mothers...
Dylan has Anisa's darker skin, and a lighter hazelnut eyes. His other features can't be seen clearly right now though. Babies come with 5 Needs with very short Need meters - Hunger, Sleep, Bathroom, Hygiene and Affection.
Maggie goes off to work shortly after giving birth, and also Levels Up her Personality to unlock "Good First Impression", having completed her "New Family" Life Goal.
This leaves Anisa to take care of Baby Dylan in his new nursery room we've built, with the crib as a centrepiece. At the side, we've got a shelf of toys and a blankie. On the opposite of the room are Maggie's Hobby-instruments - the telescope for viewing stars at night, and her easel and art supplies corner.
As 11am (Anisa's work reporting time) rolls around, Baby Dylan is left Alone at home as Anisa needs to travel to her workplace at the Music Production Studio. So we have no choice but to send Baby Dylan to daycare temporarily.
Finally 5pm arrives, and both Maggie and Anisa have caught a Digestive System Virus from work at the same time! This makes them Ignore their Hunger Need, and shortens their Sleep and Bathroom Need Meters. The effect lasts 12 hours!
Meanwhile, Maggie gained 2 Job Upgrade Points thanks to her "Acknowledging Hard Work" Perk, so we could upgrade her Astronomer Job Rank to Rank 4, as well as get a new Perk called "Retirement Fund" which gives her 10 paradimes/day for each 1,000 paradimes that her household has. And since we have 12,731 paradimes in the bank, this boosts Maggie's per day Salary to 537 paradimes/day.
Maggie spends some time with Dylan, and tries to teach him some words, but he can only babble back, which is so cute! He can even play with a rattle in the crib!
We try to get Maggie to paint an Illustrative Style Painting, but she was feeling too sick to progress in her Painting skill so we abandon the activity until she's feeling better.
Meanwhile, we have her take care of her hidden Hunger need, by having her eat an apple.
Anisa takes care of Dylan's Hunger by bottle-feeding him.
Maxence makes Anisa pursue a new Life Goal - "Guitar Specialist", which requires her to upgrade her Guitar and Music skills, plus another musical instrument.
Morning of Saturday, Spring 20, Year 1. Anisa embraces Maggie to tell her she is here to help her in her postpartum journey.
And support she gives, by playing and entertaining the baby.
Maxence tells us that Baby Dylan is starting to make coherent sounds, indicating an upgrade in his Language skill.
An hour later, he soils himself and is hungry, so he starts crying.
What is amusing is all the dialogue options in the Together Cards for the baby...
