I recently heard an old saying that goes, "The children of lovers are orphans." Can a couple be so wrapped up in each other that their children get neglected? I'm beginning to wonder about that with Emad and Bebhinn.
They've always been romantic with each other, despite the occasional Scare interactions. But since the pregnancy and their second marriage, they can't seem to keep their hands off each other.
They still love to give back massages, just like during the pregnancy.
I see all kinds of autonomous romantic choices. If Emad doesn't think of something, Bebhinn will.
And then he dipped kissed her. Faith was lying there in the damp grass unattended.
Bebhinn and Emad were still at it when Ralph Burns came outside. He took one look at the mushy couple ...
... and then picked up Faith and brought her in the house! Emad and Bebhinn stood there astounded!
Emad: WTH! That's OUR daughter!
The house was open for their visit, and I watched as Ralph calmly put Faith in one of the toddlers' cribs.
To give them some credit, Emad and Bebhinn did go upstairs and check on Faith. Satisfied she was ok, they went back downstairs. I noticed everyone was hungry, so I told Emad to summon some food.
Everyone grabbed a piece of Emad's popular angel food cake.
Then all three parents autonomously rounded up the toddlers and put them to bed.
Emad took Faith home while Bebhinn tucked the last little Burns' toddler into his crib.

Maybe Emad and Bebhinn are carrying on so much because they're bored. Bebhinn's been away from her job for a while now--on maternity and wedding leave. But she still does a lot of Work From Home, her choice not mine.
When his wife is busy, Emad goes straight to Faith though. He stood here playing with her forever. He repeated the Watch Faith interaction about a dozen times. He was still at it when I closed the game!
I changed Emad's messed up Gold Digger Wish to Master Acrobat, so now he's not so concerned about money and dead wives. But he needs a new evil mastermind plot to challenge him, and I have something already in mind.
Then again, maybe all this romance is just because it's Spring. Love is in the air ... even for the horses and gnomes.
And a Spring gnome DID pop up during woohoo time between Emad and Bebhinn. That must mean something!
They've always been romantic with each other, despite the occasional Scare interactions. But since the pregnancy and their second marriage, they can't seem to keep their hands off each other.
When one does happen to remember the baby, the other will often cancel Faith out of the queue to replace her with more kissing. I have to make them stop. ... Really, their Evil traits have become a little warped, I think!

I decided to send all three of them over to the Burns' home for a visit, just to distract Bebhinn and Emad from each other. It didn't work! Bebhinn wanted Emad's attention even before they got in the door. He put Faith down on the ground so Bebhinn could stroke his cheek.Emad: WTH! That's OUR daughter!
The door slammed in their faces! They were also complaining about a social jig in their way (which I found and deleted). But really, I think they were just annoyed at Ralph's nerve!
