A preemie in the family

An interesting occurence;

I was playing one of my families - and after their baby Shaun was
born, closed the game and after a day or so close the game
(apperantly) without saving.

When next I reloaded that lot, I saw that I hadn't saved - but a few
hours later saw a baby laying on the lawn when I was rotating the
camera to see the front of the house! When I sent the mom out to pick
him up - he appeared on the family list, but she waddled like she was
still pregnant! Sure enough the next day she gave birth - and the
original baby aged into a toddler right on schedule. (Original game +
second time around days.)

Gary and Dawn Garrison are now proud parents of (accidental) twins!
Shaun seems healthy, but his little brother Seamus had to spend an
extra two days in the hospital - I'll have to keep an eye on him.

(Happily the proud dad got promoted up the business track pretty fast,
so they have a fair chunk of change sitting around. I'll probably
have him quit work to help with the care and education until the age
into children.)

I thought the baby was gone if you didn't save!

Is he actually 2 days younger? That was some labour.
